Guild of Stories

a virtual story by Zev Chafer

Welcome Wanderer

You are moving closer and are nearly at the door! When you enter, please leave all your words and meaning behind. We are starting anew. I am so grateful that you are here and willing to experience the things I might say. I am still at a loss for words, but you know, the substance will come when time passes. Right now, we have just crossed the beginning. There are so many things to discover. I will try to make it all as accessible as possible. 

So you may wonder where you are right now?! Let me explain it a little bit more clearly. The “Guild of Stories”, is a semi-fictional virtual story and worldbuilding project created by Zev Chafer (me:). It is a story where you make the choices and you determine the outcome! You will follow a main story line that branches into different directions and gives you the ability to not only choose it’s direction, but also explore the universe around it. It is more than just a book. It is an art project, full with visuals, music and animation.

The story is set against the backdrop of Europe between 1850 – 1950. While the exact location is fictional, it draws inspiration from the tri-border area of the Netherlands and the former Hanoverian and Prussian Kingdoms (where I grew up). 

I must apologize in advance. This place is still a bit of a mess. Frayed paper, ink stains and a collection of random words and images. But rest assured, I will make it my job to make something out of it. If you want to know more about the world (or worlds) you are in right now, please use the links below. If you want to know more about the background of this project, please visit the About page. If you want to know more about me, the Creator page may be an option. And don’t forget our GuideGuideHello wanderer. I see you have made it over the border. I think I have not seen you before, or do I? My memory is not as good as it…. He might be helpful… Sometimes. Good luck…

Hello everyone. It has already been some time since my last update, but in the background, I have been very busy. I am currently working on the 3D model of the city of LutheriaLutheriaLutheriaThe City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden. It lies along an important trade route towards Belthem and other towns on the Regent…. While developing the first part of the story, I realised how important this city will be for my story, and I need to work it out in more detail to be able to develop the rest of the storyline. So, I will make finishing the city part of Version 5 of the project. However, this will take quite some time, so I have decided to move the deadline for Version 5 to the end of August, allowing me more time to finish the 3D model and all the articles. Meanwhile, I will keep developing the main storyline according to plan.

Besides working on the 3D models, I have been refining the documentationDocumentation of the history of the Region of KildenKildenThe Region of Kilden is a rural area, stretching across parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the (former) Kingdom of Hanover (annexed in 1866).… and started with the history of LutheriaLutheriaLutheriaThe City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden. It lies along an important trade route towards Belthem and other towns on the Regent… and the surrounding area as well. Although LutheriaLutheriaLutheriaThe City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden. It lies along an important trade route towards Belthem and other towns on the Regent… is not the main city of the region, it gives the region a reason to exist. I will elaborate on that topic in more detail in the article(s) for LutheriaLutheriaLutheriaThe City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden. It lies along an important trade route towards Belthem and other towns on the Regent…, which I am writingWriting now. I hope to update the current articles soon, as they currently contain old information that is going to be completely rewritten. I have also changed the Feudal SystemThe Feudal SystemThe Feudal System, also known as Feudalism, is a societal structure based on landholding in exchange for services or labour. For example, a landlord owns land where individuals can reside…. It was designed to fit in a medieval age, but did not align with the 1800s. It is still not finished, but progress is being made. SO you may see some placeholders on the website here and there as I am re-developing the articles. But slowly, we are writingWriting towards a coherent story. It just takes multiple years 😀
