Abstract
In this paper we use grammar-directed procedural content generation (PCG) techniques to develop folklore; based on the seven basic story plots, for a simulated religion. A hierarchy of values for a simulated community was first generated. Using these values, a variety of deities were procedurally generated, each with their own reflected values and persona. A Context-Free Grammar is then traversed in order to generate fables appropriate for each deities persona. The intention of this work is to generate fables which can be used to contextualize a given simulated culture's beliefs.
