# Creator

## Definition

> **Each** [**Object**](/components/object.md) **is made by a Creator.**

* Players will describe the Creator, and a few details about their world.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Intention

This is the first opportunity a player will have to **shape the world they are building**.

**It also sets a touchstone**, an origin, which the story can return to and contrast against as it develops.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

### Example

**From** [***Artefact***](https://mouseholepress.itch.io/artefact)**, the *****Weapon***** has the following prompt for the Creator:**

*You were tempered in the heat of a great forge by a legendary smith—describe them, their materials and their smithy.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

### Advice

Sometimes, the Creator might go on to become the [Object's](/components/object.md) first [Agent](/components/agent.md). For example, a wizard might create a staff for their own use. In other situations this will be less likely, for example an blacksmith would not necessarily be the first wielder of a sword they forge.

A player might decide that they have a personal relationship with the [Object's](/components/object.md) first [Agent](/components/agent.md), but that's not a requirement.
