THE IDEA
Build a setting you can play in TONIGHT. Fill in this one page, start a session or a
roleplay, then expand only the parts people actually use.


------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1 — THE FIVE QUESTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What does a normal day look like?
   (food, work, weather, what people complain about)
   >

2. Who holds power, and how do they keep it?
   >

3. What's strange here?
   (magic, tech, a curse, a god — the thing that makes this world itself)
   >

4. What was lost?
   (the wound in the world's past)
   >

5. Where is it dangerous to go?
   >


------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2 — THE ONE CONFLICT
------------------------------------------------------------------
A single tension every faction has an opinion on.
Test: does it give the baker AND the queen something to argue about?
   >
