1. Sign in and choose New Guided Map
Sign in or create an account through the shared Aethera browser flow. After Worldwright verifies that shared account and opens Welcome, choose New Guided Map.
2. Complete Shape and World
In Shape, choose the map's scope. In World, try Balanced land, Varied terrain, Temperate climate, Settled civilization, and Medium detail. Leave horizontal wrapping on for a whole world and off for a bounded region. Use the persistent Back and Next buttons—or choose a named step—to inspect an earlier answer.
3. Pick a Style and check Review
Choose Classic fantasy parchment, Ink and paper, Clean modern atlas, Political map, Physical relief, Dark fantasy, or Printer-friendly monochrome. Review shows all guided choices before anything is generated, with direct Edit actions for Shape, World, and Style. Political is the only preset that shows the optional territory-ownership colors by default.
4. Generate and accept a preview
Choose Generate Preview. The preview arrives from a local worker. Back to guided choices returns to Review without losing your answers. Reroll changes the seed while keeping those answers intact. Choose Accept when the large shapes feel useful, then use Adjust one aspect for a focused stage preview.
5. Make two edits
Choose Terrain → Raise and paint a small ridge. Choose Biome, select Temperate forest, and paint a nearby valley. Each stroke is one undoable action.
6. Add a place and label
Choose Places and click the map. Rename the new settlement in the inspector. Choose Labels to add a manual sea, region, or landmark label.
7. Save and export
Press Ctrl + S and choose a user folder. Then choose Export → Player PNG. GM-only features are filtered before the image is rendered.
Optional: Send to Atlas
Choose Send to Atlas; Worldwright uses the same shared Aethera account required at launch. If the session has expired, the app returns to its account gate and the normal Aethera browser flow reconnects it. Select a world and publish the player or GM map. Later sends update the linked Atlas map instead of silently creating duplicates. Account sign-in never uploads the local project by itself.
