+# Tavernworks
+
+Tavernworks is a modular blog system written in Rust. It is designed to parse,
+compile, and serve structured blog content using a cohesive set of themed
+libraries. The system is centered around the `tavern` content engine and is
+supported by a publisher CLI and a rendering frontend.
+
+## Overview
+
+TavernWorks consists of the following components:
+
+### tavern
+
+The core library that defines the data model, parses content, and provides the
+API to read and write blog data. It is responsible for turning a repository of
+Markdown files and metadata into an in-memory structure or database.
+
+### loreweaver
+
+A command-line tool that uses `tavern` to compile a blog repository into a
+SQLite database. It reads a `Tavern.toml` metadata file and outputs a portable
+database that can be served or inspected.
+
+### bard
+
+A Dioxus-based frontend library that renders blog content from the database.
+It provides components to create a full blog UI using data produced by
+`loreweaver`.
+
+### blog_test
+
+A test project that verifies the full system from content to rendering. It is
+used to validate that blog repositories are parsed, compiled, and rendered
+correctly across all components.
