Stories:

Stories constitute the Narrative. The last person to play a Story controls the Narrative, and all the cards in it. It is sort of like a contested field spell zone which increases in power whenever control of it changes.

You can use any of the effects in the Narrative, if you control it.

The Narrative has a meta-stat of "Depth", which is just the number of Stories "Narrative Elements" which comprise the Narrative.

The Narrative conducts combat by distributing X +1 to any cards, where X is the Depth (number of cards which make up the Narrative).

Distributing +1 to cards is mostly defensive, but it can also be used offensively, for example by +1ing an Entity you control, so it can 1 shot another Entity or Structure. It can also be used to increase the effect output of cards with tap (-1 as cost) effects.

You can also Transmute cards into and out of the Narrative. See "Transmuting".
