Draft template — not official rules. This entry provides authoring prompts until approved TotV content is supplied.
Identity & atmosphere
Authoring prompt: give the dungeon a name, theme, premise, and visual identity. This is a template, not a playable or canonical dungeon.
Layout & progression
Authoring prompt: document floors, room connections, branching decisions, and any generation rules. Distinguish possible layouts from one specific generated run.
Encounters & discoveries
Authoring prompt: add encounter objectives, mechanics, lore, and optional spoiler-marked discoveries. Link shared concepts to the reference library.
Earned ascension
Authoring prompt: frame arrival on a higher floor as evidence of overcoming the Trial below. Preserve the ceremonial, monumental, demanding tone. Repeated failures are part of the Trial, not inherently narrative stagnation; distinguish the lessons created by adversity from an individual boss’s intentions.
