+# 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
+
+```bash
+python scripts/build_dataset.py --num-stories 50000
+```
