Worldbuilding software that stays close to the draft

Worldbuilding is most useful when it can answer questions while you write. OENT keeps characters, locations, objects, cultures, and systems in a flexible encyclopedia that connects back to the documents, events, and timeline where the world appears.

Create the categories your world needs

Organize assets into groups that match the project rather than a fixed template. Give each asset a wiki-style description, aliases, images, a primary portrait, and custom attributes for the details that matter in your setting.

Recognize names in the draft

Automatic asset recognition can identify aliases in your writing and connect them to the relevant reference. That makes it easier to check a fact or open a character without leaving the part of the story you are shaping.

Keep chronology and lore together

Use the timeline for historical events, parallel storylines, or the order in which the reader learns about the world. Shared events make chronology part of the same project as the prose rather than an isolated planning artifact.

Explore the Help Center for guides to asset groups, aliases, galleries, attributes, and timelines.

Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

What can I store in the OENT encyclopedia?

You can create asset groups for any kind of story reference, including characters, locations, items, organizations, cultures, creatures, magic systems, and technologies.

Can I add my own worldbuilding fields?

Yes. Custom attributes let you model the details relevant to each project, and visibility controls decide which information appears in different contexts.

Can an entry have multiple names?

Yes. Assets support aliases, and those names can be recognized in the draft and connected back to the same encyclopedia entry.

Does worldbuilding connect to the timeline?

Yes. The timeline and document events share the same project context, so historical or story events can sit alongside the people, places, and systems they affect.
