World-Building Setting Generator

Expands a {core_idea} into a fictional setting concept for a {genre} world — covering geography, society and culture, one unique rule or system (magic, technology, or otherwise), the central tension driving conflict, and a sensory detail to anchor it. Aimed at writers and game designers who have a spark of a world in mind but need it built out enough to write scenes in, without producing a full encyclopedia before a single page is written. Best used early, before locking in plot or characters — the setting's tension can end up shaping both.

Prompt
I want to build out a fictional setting for a {genre} story or game.

Core idea to build from: {core_idea}

Develop this into a setting concept covering:
- Geography (the physical shape of the world or region)
- Society and culture (how people live, what they value, what divides them)
- One unique rule or system (magic, technology, or a law of nature that makes this world distinct)
- The central tension driving conflict in this setting
- One vivid sensory detail that captures what it feels like to be there

Keep it concise enough to reference while writing, not an exhaustive wiki entry.
