## Prompt

```text
Help me build a fictional world.

**Genre and tone:** [fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, mythic…]
**Core idea:** [WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE]
**What I need:** [geography / history / cultures / politics / magic or tech system / characters / a mythology or pantheon]
**What already exists:** [NOTES]

Build it so that every element raises interesting conflicts: rules with costs, factions that want different things, and history that still matters today. Give me: an overview, the elements I asked for, 5 story hooks the world naturally creates, and open questions to decide. Keep everything internally consistent.
```
