[Naturegirl1999]

there are many species, each of whom have their own languages and their own stories

[dgr11897]

"The universe is sentient in a subtle way, and tells it's own stories, slowly, over Eons, this is the origin of life"

[Jerick]

"Emotions shape the stories and thus shape the world. The deeper the emotions created by a story the greater effect that story can have on the world,"

[NJW2000]

Nothing is in the world that is not in a story told in the world.

(Cycle 1, Truth 1)

[IndigoFenix]

It is inevitable that a creature capable of telling stories will one day arise. Any possible future in which stories are no longer told cease to be.

[piecewise]

It means that Stories are real. We can elaborate on that with Great Truths like this one!

"The size of the world at any given time is directly proportional to the amount of people who tell stories (Cycle 1, truth 1)"

"The universe is sentient in a subtle way, and tells it's own stories, slowly, over Eons, this is the origin of life"

[2]
This is false and as such not added to the list.

"Emotions shape the stories and thus shape the world. The deeper the emotions created by a story the greater effect that story can have on the world,"

[2]
This is also false.

Nothing is in the world that is not in a story told in the world.

Also false.

What the heck. Dice thinks you're all liars.

"The size of the world at any given time is directly proportional to the number of people who tell stories" is the accepted truth, but in fact the world has many sizes, and can be endless or have no size at all, depending for each person on the stories they know.

(Amendment to Cycle 2, Truth 1)

[King Zultan]

"Any story told even if its a lie will become reality."

[Kakaluncha]

The most important species are immortal spiders, whose string shows each story, connecting all of them into a giant and always growing web.

[Jerick]

Stories evolve and change as they are retold. They are living, conscious things that are all descended from the first story

[Naturegirl1999]

As stories are living, they can take the forms of animals, plants, or any other living creature

[dgr11897]

"Dreams count as stories. (Cycle 1 truth 1)"

[Leonardo8]

Different species prefer different tropes, and these tropes shape the land locally based on the amount of storytellers.

Over halfway done. Keep in mind the nature of each cycle; this one covers " How the universe was created, what powers are still at work, the origins of life, etc."  I considered rejecting the Spiders but since they're godlike beings I think they're ok. Just don't go too deep into species or specifics until the right cycle.


Things are going pretty good so far I think. We have a universe where stories are reality and immortal spiders weaving stories out of silk. I look forward to seeing what kind of people will arise in a universe where someone could use bragging and lies to become a god emperor.

Dreams count as stories, but their effects are fickle, lasting only as long as their dremer dreams. (Cycle 2 Truth 4)
