Simple, effective, universal presets for Silly Tavern role-playing purposes.

**What is included: CONTEXT TEMPLATE (STORY STRING) + INSTRUCT TEMPLATE + SETTINGS (SAMPLERS)**

**A) Sphiratrioth (Short)** - minimal narration - when you want to simulate a natural, human-like conversation with a bot. For those who do not like the "verbose" role-play.
***<<< conversation-like, ~ 150 tokens, around 2/3 dialogue against 1/3 narration >>>***

**B) Sphiratrioth (Balanced)** - balanced RP - when you want to experience a balanced role-play with responses around 1-2 paragraphs.
***<<< 1 short paragraph, ~ 250 tokens, around 50/50 balance in dialogues against narration >>>***

**C) Sphiratrioth (Story)** - AI becomes your Game Master (GM) - when you want those long, verbose paragraphs with rich narration & story-telling.
***<<< 1-3 paragraphs, ~ 350 tokens, around 2/3 narration against 1/3 dialogues >>>***

**How to use:**

Advanced Users: Load them up under a "capital A" tab (AI Response Formatting) of the Silly Tavern UI. Enjoy, modify, forget.
Beginner Users: Read further. Those templates should provide what you're looking for.

1. Find your LLM (model) native instruct template. Every fine-tune stands on a base model, which is usually specified by its creator in a manner of "(...) fine-tune of Mistral Small" or "Nemo on steroids" etc. It may be confusing, it may be clear. Not my fault :-P However, you need to identify the base model of a fine-tune- since it will generally work with its original model's context/instruct templates best. However, different templates may be used by creators (tuners) for training and then - specified templates suggested by creators work better. Now - brace yourself, it's funny - sometimes, theoretically "wrong" templates provide even better role-play results.


*Context Template = Story String*
People often get confused with names.
