The Sealed Archive

This is an invented teaching example, not a user's project canon or an implemented game. It shows one authoritative knowledge set supporting different compositions. All needed information is shipped here.

Core contracts

• Creative Direction
• World Foundation
• Setting Rules
• Lore Foundation
• Narrative Foundation
• Game Design Foundation

Art and traversal rules are not needed for the prose or paper investigation slice. They would be defined when actual visual or spatial production requires them.

Content

• Mara and Iven
• Greybank archive
• The flood
• The original ledger
• Shared conflict
• The official notice
• Novel skeleton
• Game quest skeleton
• Ledger gameplay treatment
• Evidence confrontation encounter
• Walkthrough and revision findings

Copy the pattern, not the fictional details. The novel-only route uses the five shared Core contracts, World records and relevant Narrative entries. It does not require the game treatment or encounter.
