| # AetherStory Dataset
|
|
|
| A **procedurally generated** corpus of unique fantasy fables, purpose-built to
|
| train the [AetherStory](https://huggingface.co/wincode/aetherstory) storyteller
|
| model. Every story is synthesised on the fly from a combinatorial space of
|
| realms, creatures, character archetypes, magic systems, and plot scaffolds.
|
|
|
| ## Why this dataset is unique
|
|
|
| It is **not scraped** from the web. Each fable is constructed by code from
|
| hand-written ingredients, so:
|
|
|
| - there is **no copyright risk** — every word is original or drawn from
|
| public-domain-style aphorisms,
|
| - the dataset is **fully reproducible** from a single seed,
|
| - the **combination space** is astronomically larger than the corpus itself,
|
| so duplicates are effectively impossible.
|
|
|
| See `stats.json` for the exact size and ingredient counts of this release.
|
|
|
| ## Structure
|
|
|
| Each line of `stories.jsonl` is a JSON object:
|
|
|
| ```json
|
| {
|
| "id": 0,
|
| "text": "In the Glasslands there lived a wind-listener. ...",
|
| "hero": "a wind-listener",
|
| "creature": "a hollow crow",
|
| "realm": "the Glasslands",
|
| "magic": "freezing moments in glass",
|
| "scaffold": "betrayal",
|
| "moral_source": "synthetic",
|
| "moral": "In the end, an unspoken name outlasts the cleverest lie."
|
| }
|
| ```
|
|
|
| ## Regeneration
