Gameplay Systems

The setting is easiest to understand when its lore and game systems are read together. These pages collect the mechanical reference material that sits beside the historical and geographic articles.

Character and Realm Systems¶

• Character Interactions — named actions and relationships between characters.
• City Instructions — city-level decisions and development choices.
• Item Instructions — how equipment enters the market and reaches characters.
• Bloodlines — inherited legacies and their mechanical effects.
• Artifacts and Holy Site Items — character equipment and sacred treasures.
• Great Wonders — completed monuments, controllers, and active effects.

Magic¶

• Magic — the broad disciplines of mana and spellcraft.
• Magic Styles — styles and their associated abilities.
• Magic Instructions — the practical rules for using magic.
• Divine Wells — the cosmological source of divine power and sealing.

Reading Mechanical Data¶

Generated entries preserve the values found in the game files. A missing localization line is not evidence that the mechanic does not exist; it means the current data snapshot has no authored public description. When a number is ambiguous, prefer the game's displayed tooltip and report the discrepancy with the mod version.
