Lore foundation — four pillars

D-006: Lore foundation — four pillars

Four lore pillars are canonical. Detail expansion belongs to narrative-designer (round 2):

  1. Tone: Pratchett (humor + warmth) + epic fantasy (real stakes, knights, orcs, cosmos, magic, epic duels).
  2. Walking metaphor: mapping the world after a catastrophe. The Walker is a cartographer of the Cech Niedokończonych Wypraw (Guild of Unfinished Expeditions).
  3. Magic: leaked / sick magic. Was once controlled, now leaks from a torn Spis Wszechrzeczy (Catalogue of All Things); it mutates landscape and creatures and drives the crafting system.
  4. Scale: 1 continent (Strzęp — working name), 6 regions reusing the N / NE-Bridge / E / Centre / W / S topology. Working region names in wiki/src/content/docs/lore/foundation.mdx.

Endgame cosmic hook (v2.0): the Catalogue of All Things is one of four; the others (Spis Czasów, Spis Słów, Spis Pustek) are lost in the cosmos, in a dragon, and in a mis-shelved dwarvish library.

Full draft in wiki/src/content/docs/lore/foundation.mdx. Round-2 expansion (concrete names, NPCs, opening quests, magic rules) tracked in ops/research/lore-foundation-round1.md.
