Történetvilág

Történetvilág is a Hungarian term that translates to "story world" or "narrative world." It refers to the fictional setting or universe in which a story takes place. This encompasses all aspects of the created reality, including its geography, history, culture, inhabitants, rules, and overall atmosphere. A well-developed történetvilág provides a consistent and believable backdrop for the narrative, influencing character motivations, plot developments, and thematic explorations.

The creation of a compelling történetvilág is a fundamental aspect of world-building, a process often undertaken by authors, game designers, filmmakers, and other storytellers. It involves careful consideration of details to establish a sense of place and immersion for the audience. This can range from simple settings in everyday life to elaborate fantasy or science fiction realms with unique physical laws and societal structures. The depth and complexity of a történetvilág can significantly impact the reader's or player's engagement with the story.

Elements commonly found within a történetvilág include its physical environment, such as landscapes, climate, and flora and fauna. Societal aspects like political systems, economic structures, religious beliefs, and social hierarchies are also crucial. The history of the world, including past events, conflicts, and legendary figures, can add depth and context. Furthermore, the magical or technological rules governing the world, if any, are integral to its nature. A cohesive and internally consistent történetvilág enhances the credibility and impact of the story being told.
