Hidden History
The foundational truth of a story's world that the author knows but the reader discovers gradually.
The Hidden History is not a plot summary and not a list of twists. It is the bedrock under the story: the real history of the world you are building, written so that every revelation, every character secret, and every moment of sudden clarity has somewhere solid to stand.
Why it matters. Without a Hidden History, revelations feel invented on the fly. With one, the Information Release Schedule can meter what the reader learns, and when, against a truth the author already holds.
How Bespoke Books uses it. On the Revelations tab, the Hidden History field captures that foundational context. Character knowledge and the release schedule then control how that truth reaches the reader chapter by chapter.
