PRI ISM & LORE.

Two worldbuilding methods I formalised to build Käarde: a step-by-step path for beginners, a network of blocks for experienced authors.

02 / Original universe · Ongoing

KÄARDE.

Historical Fantasy · Heroic Fantasy · Science Fiction

Käarde is my original universe, which I have been building over the long term through historical research, systemic worldbuilding and fiction writing. I design its societies, factions, religions, political systems, trade networks and characters as interconnected systems. The universe spans several of my novels and stories.

01 / Historical research

Medieval Europe · Byzantine history · Islamic Golden Age · Crusades

02 / Systemic worldbuilding

Factions · Religion · Politics · Trade · Dynasties · Character relationships

03 / Writing

Multiple novels · Shared chronology · Recurring characters · World coherence
