Why Most Fantasy Themes Never Land, and the 4 Parts That Fix It

Most fantasy stories don't have a theme. They have a moral, stapled on at the end, and readers can feel it. A theme is not a message you announce. It's a structure you build. In this video I break a theme down into its four working parts and show how each one gets built into a world and a story, so the theme comes through in what happens rather than in what a character says out loud. Everything here is built in Exordium, all-in-one worldbuilding software for authors, worldbuilders, and TTRPG creators. It runs on your own machine and it's free during the open beta.
