Talmaara is a worldbuilding and writing tool for authors and game masters that combines lore, calendars, timelines, and a manuscript editor in one workspace. It cross-checks scenes written in the book editor against the dated facts of the user's own lore and flags contradictions such as a character appearing in two places on the same day. The continuity checks are rule-based date math, not AI, and no manuscript content is sent to an AI model. It also includes maps, family trees, a pin board, a lore connection graph, and campaign tools for running 5e-compatible tabletop games.
