To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.
The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.
Il terreno tornava al signore in caso di fellonia, ovvero un atto di infedeltà da parte del vassallo, oppure in caso di morte di uno dei due contraenti
Il signore aveva l'obbligo di protezione e di compensare il vassallo con un beneficio o l'immunità
Il vassallo aveva l'obbligo di fedeltà e servizio
Your character(s) need(s) motivation in order to solve the challenge(s).
Secondary characters might also have motives that lead them to cross paths with the main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.
Avevano potere militare, fiscale e giudiziario
Affidate ai conti
Why does your character need to confront this challenge? What does he/she expect to accomplish by solving it?
See a few examples:
Servivano ad evitare invasioni esterne
Affidati ai marchesi
Territori nei confini
Secondary characters also might have motivs beacuse of which they may cross path with main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.
Potere simile a quello dei conti
Affidati ai duchi
In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.
The setting (time & place) of a story can change throughout the plot.
Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. These details are important because they create depth in your setting.
See a few examples below:
Ci vivevano gli abitanti che chiedevano protezione alla curtis, e ricevevano anche un pezzo di terreno. In cambio loro dovevano dare:
Pagamento di bannalità
Corvèes
Parte del raccolto
Your story can take place wherever your imagination will take you to.
For example: in an elevator, in an enchanted forest, etc. Don't forget to give details of the environment each time the setting changes, otherwise, the story can be confusing. Also, mention the seasons as each of them has unique weather and events.
Abitazioni dei servi
Residenza del padrone (a volte anche ente ecclesiastico)
