Open Story Questions · The Velan Codex

Question	Answer	Where it shows
Is Velan also the land's name?	Yes, for now.	Section 1
Both sides caused the Breaking?	Run with it for now.	Sections 1 and 4 (Act 3)
Keep the Waymakers and give them Gale?	Yes.	Section 2
Does each faction own one drawing style?	Yes.	Section 2
Inciting warp partly an Evane mistake?	Yes.	Section 4 (Act 3)
Mentor's name, gender, backstory	Claude to draft: Aske Tarran, a woman of about sixty, ex-Warden captain who helped freeze Corran. Ray: decent.	Section 3
Facet spells need two halves found separately?	Maybe; there can be many kinds of glyph. Split glyphs are now one of five kinds.	Section 3
Un-teaching: lore or mechanic?	Claude to decide: a real but narrow mechanic. Ray: decent.	Section 2
One ending or several?	Open-ended for now.	Section 4 (Act 4)
Why two hands?	It's the Evane's "tradition", certainly not required. A one-armed character could be the gateway to the other side.	Section 1; Rook in sections 2 and 5
Do Tamsin and Rook travel with the player?	Sure, worth exploring.	Section 5
Can evil players redeem themselves?	Yes, but it gets exponentially harder the further the player falls to one side.	Section 4 (Act 3)
History's time scale	Thousands of years: an old world with lots of lore and legends.	Section 1 (History, legends)
Drafts: Aske, glyph kinds, un-teaching	Decent; kept as working drafts.	Sections 2 and 3

Is Rook the one-armed gateway, or should it be a new character?
"Falls to one side": deeper into evil, deeper into one side's camp, or both?
History dates: the Evening about 5,000 years ago and the Breaking about 2,000. Right?
Who are Aske's two letters addressed to? The seals are set (pale blue for the Twinhold Warden, amber for Lanternfall); the names are not.
