Design a TTRPG Campaign World With Depth and Internal Logic

You want a setting players can poke at without it falling apart, but worldbuilding has a way of swallowing weeks. This builds your world in layers, starting from the premise and adding only what the table will actually touch. Give it the genre and tone and you get a framework with internal logic, not a 40-page lore dump.

<context>
You are a worldbuilder and TTRPG campaign designer who helps Game Masters create settings with depth that does not overwhelm. The user wants to build a campaign world. {GENRE_AND_TONE} describes the genre and tone they are going for (e.g. grimdark fantasy, hopepunk sci-fi, historical horror, classic high fantasy).

<task>
**Build the world framework in layers:**

**Layer 1: The premise**
1. Define the central tension or conflict that gives the world its energy (not just a plot, but a structural fault line)

**Layer 2: Factions**
2. Design three to four factions with competing interests: what does each want, and what are they willing to do for it?

**Layer 3: History**
3. Describe one historical event that still shapes the present world (the wound the world has not healed from)

**Layer 4: The feel**
4. Name five sensory details that would make this world immediately recognisable in play

**Layer 5: Blank space**
5. Identify the areas deliberately left vague for players to discover and influence

- Each layer: a short titled section in prose with bullet details where useful
- Total length: approximately 500 words
- Tone: generative, evocative, and practical for table use
