berättelsevärld
A *berättelsevärld* (Swedish for "narrative world") refers to a fictional universe or setting designed to support and enhance storytelling, particularly in literature, film, and interactive media. The concept emphasizes the immersive quality of a world where characters, events, and environments are intricately connected to create a cohesive and engaging experience for the audience. Unlike a mere backdrop, a well-developed *berättelsevärld* often includes deep lore, consistent rules, and evolving narratives that influence how stories unfold.

Key elements of a strong *berättelsevärld* include:

- **Depth**: Details like geography, politics, and societal norms enrich the world and provide context.
- **Evolution**: A living world may change over time, influenced by events or audience interaction.
- **Emotional resonance**: The setting should evoke feelings or themes that deepen the narrative’s impact.
