💯 Anbennar: The Silmarillion of gaming history.

Anbennar's vast world wasn't written out of thin air. It was asked into existence​ — by the box that is EU4. Jayhant's paper is literally titled "Worldbuilding Inside a Box."​ His core argument is this: EU4's mechanics keep asking questions, and the worldbuilder's job is to answer them. This loop of question and answer forms a development cycle — one that eventually gives birth to a world that can actually stand on its own.
