Natural Law Template (Pronunciation)

Showcase

Written by SoulLink

The natural law template is intended to be used for physical and metaphysical laws. These laws define how the world works. Use this template to explain the fundamentals of your world. This is usually only necessary if there is a notable difference with real world physics or if there is real metaphysical power within your world.
However in some cases it might even make sense to describe real world phenomena if they have a particular relevance in your world. For example if technologies build on an understanding of such a penomenon.

The template has many prompt boxes which can be filled in. Use them for inspiration and to help format your article. Do not feel like you have to fill out all of them!

The terms in the braces below each heading tell you under which tab this prompt appears and what the title of the box is.
