Track people and time
Give the people in your fiction more than isolated notes. Mythwrites connects character sheets, relationships, family structure and story events so you can follow who changed, where they were and when it happened.
Keep character details in the project beside the chapters that use them. Labeled relationships make important connections visible without forcing every relationship into a family tree.
The relationship view supports links such as mentor, lover and enemy alongside the family relationships your story needs.
The lineage view focuses on parent, child, sibling and spouse links. Use it when inheritance, family history or a long-running cast makes those connections part of the story's logic.
Lineage is a view over your project data, so it can sit alongside the broader relationship map rather than replacing it.
Build eras and events that point to characters, locations and chapters. A timeline gives the story a temporal surface for checking sequence, history and the context around a scene.
Linking events back to the manuscript helps you move from a date or turning point to the prose where readers encounter it.
Characters, locations and events can provide context for story intelligence and continuity review. The author still decides whether a finding is a real issue, an intentional reveal or simply a detail that needs clarification.
Worked Writer Example
Scenario: Writing Book 3 of a fantasy series involving a civil war between three noble houses over an ancient succession treaty signed three generations ago.
The Problem: You need Lord Corvis to claim the eastern barony through his maternal grandmother, but keeping track of who is a direct descendant versus a cadet branch across twenty named characters has led to conflicting dialogue.
“Corvis drew himself up before the council: 'By the blood of Queen Maeve, the Eastern Marches are mine by right of descent!'”
How Mythwrites Resolves It: The Mythwrites lineage diagram draws parent, child, sibling, and spouse links directly between character sheets. You can trace the chain from Queen Maeve to Corvis link by link on the diagram to check his claim against what you have actually recorded, instead of cross-referencing twenty character sheets by hand.
