Project scale guide

Scale describes where a project sits in the world tree. Larger scales hold context; smaller scales hold focused places where stories and canon can become more specific.

RegionA defined area within a Continent — a kingdom, province, territory, or biome. Regions contain Cities and work well for stories focused on political boundaries, cultural groups, or distinct geographic areas.

To move a smaller world under a larger one, use Nest a Project. Stories and wiki entries remain with their project, and parent pages include content from nested projects.

About This Project

Based in New Orleans, LA for 300 years - the Gulf Arcana Authority is an invite-only organization that deals with occult phenomena such as vampires, devils, interdimensional beings and also nutria (Myocastor coypus). The North American chapter of the GAA have been allowed and sanctioned by the City of New Orleans since 1718 and predate the United States of America by 58 years. The organization has a storied history in both Europe and Central Asia as well (as a chapter of the larger Trans‑Eurasian Occult Commission) and also operates a large prison underneath Lake Pontchartrain that runs the length of the Causeway bridge.

Threadcaster Characters

The Loreweave Threadcaster builds reusable cast cards from identity, Jungian motive, Tarot arc pressure, psychology, backstory, and relationships. Lorekeepers add their own characters directly to canon; contributors can submit characters for review.

No Threadcaster characters have been added yet. Start with a name, then add archetypes, Tarot cards, conflicts, and relationships when the cast is ready.

World Details

Project Goals

Scope: The scope of the GAA is within the gulf south region of the continental United States. Contributors: Participation is open to all. Hard facts in the New Orleans chapter must be based on New Orleans geography and demographics - but previous history on the European and Central Asia chapters is open to all. A forum thread will be started if anyone is looking to coordinate on this. Timeline: Timeline is in process of build-out. Check back frequently for updates.
