Civilizational Physics
Ten axes per faction — movement, cloth, light, sound, ceremonial motion, weapon posture, crowd, scale philosophy.
The Living Lore
The Codex & Visual Bible
The structural physics behind every novella, song, and image. Faction motifs. Era states. Emotional temperatures. Composition archetypes. The doctrine that keeps the world specific.
Era States
Seven eras, each with its own architecture, color, atmosphere, damage language.
Composition Archetypes
Eight cinematic staging modes per faction — switchback verticals, throne-centered authority, eclipse symmetry…
Emotional Temperatures
Per-faction emotional pools. Ronin grief is not Kabal dread is not Choir ecstasy.
Material Science
Per-faction material lists — weathered obsidian, indigo circuit-cloth, brass ritual alloys, harmonic glass.
Visual Taboos
What each faction is never rendered as. The guardrails that keep the world from drifting into European-fantasy defaults.
For deep readers
The full doctrine docs — Civilizational Physics, Emotional Temperatures, Composition Archetypes, the 7-beat canonical flow — are folded into the upcoming Sky Khan Codex. The free Codex Primer is the entry point: a 24-page illustrated PDF that maps the eight factions, the seven eras, and the order of ascent.
