Quickstart
Create a chronicle, add your first resources, and connect them. This takes about five minutes and needs nothing but a browser.
Create a chronicle
A chronicle is one world. It holds every resource, relationship, and timeline for that world. Open the app and create one from the chronicle switcher in the top-left.
Name it for the world, not the game
A chronicle outlives any single campaign. Name it after the setting, then run many campaigns inside it.
Add resources
A resource is any entity in your world: a character, a location, a faction, an item. Each resource is its own page with lore, attributes, and connections. Add a few from the "New" menu.
Kinds
Every resource has a kind. Chronicler ships common kinds, and you can define your own with their own schemas and attributes.
Connect them
Draw a typed relationship between two resources. Both ends see the link, and the graph stays queryable. Most authors do this in the app. The same task is one API call when you want it.
Connect two resources
- Open a resource, such as Veylin.
- In the Connections panel, choose Add connection.
- Pick the relationship type, ally of.
- Search for Emryn, then confirm. Both pages now show the link.
Relationships are typed
A relationship carries a type from your taxonomy, such as ally of or member of. Author the type first, then connect resources with it.
Next steps
- Build a timeline in Chronology.
- Start a campaign and reveal lore to players on cue.
- Read the Developers guides to drive all of this from the API.
