What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Creates mythologies, legendary figures, historical eras, relics, and sacred artifacts for fictional worlds. Use when building creation myths, founding legends, historical timelines, mythic heroes, symbolic systems, or sacred objects, or when user says "origin story", "myth", "legend", "relic", "artifact", "ancient history", or "prophecy". Does NOT write final files — use /writing-worldbuilding for that.

Designing Lore
Build the deep memory layer of fictional worlds.
Process
- Mythic Origin — sacrifice genesis, fragmented god, memory-echo, recursive loop, alien catalyst
- Legendary Figures — archetype, symbolic anchor, multi-region variants, current echoes
- Historical Eras — name, defining event, what survived but was twisted, how history persists
- Relics & Artifacts — type, functionality, origin, cultural reactions, rituals, conflict potential
- Cross-Reference — link myths to biomes, civilizations, factions; mark productive contradictions
Out of Scope
Does NOT write final files (use /writing-worldbuilding). Does NOT design physical biomes (use /designing-worlds).
