Example: Lore Cross-Reference

Keep continuity tight by cross-referencing entities, tags, and relationships across chapters and sessions.

Example

Tag for Continuity

Use a few consistent tags to group references across time and place.

  • "plot-hook", "clue", "red-herring"
  • "artifact", "legend", "prophecy"
  • "chapter-4", "arc-2"

Relationship Context

Relate lore to characters and factions to reveal who knows what - and why it matters.

  • "member of", "rival", "ally", "controls"
  • Neighborhood views to see influence
  • Filter maps by tag + relationship

Search Patterns

Combine text, tag, and type filters to retrieve exactly the references you need.

  • Tag + type (e.g., "artifact" + "location")
  • Scope to a collection or time period
  • Bookmark frequent queries

Steps

  • Create or adopt a small tag vocabulary for lore themes.
  • Tag relevant entities, locations, and notes consistently.
  • Link entities with typed relationships for context.
  • Search by tag + relationship when drafting or prepping.

Tips

  • Favor a short, memorable tag set over many similar tags.
  • Use saved URLs for recurring research queries.
  • Re-tag periodically to reflect story development.
