Continuity notes

(Idea) VEL-63 read the four walkthroughs, the Bestiary, the Spell Roadmap, Items and Economy, Game Screens and the new Side Quests tab against the Story Bible and each other, and made them agree. This section records how conflicts were settled, what is now the same everywhere, and every change, file by file. Nothing here is approved by Ray; the open questions in section 17 list what Ray needs to decide.

How conflicts were settled

1. The Story Bible wins over every other tab. It was not edited in this pass, so where a tab still has to differ from it, the difference is an open question in section 17.
2. Game data in Assets/StreamingAssets/Data wins over the Codex. That is why threads have names (Bulwark and Tempest are named composites in data).
3. What a spell is (name, id, faction, shape, numbers, colour) comes from the Spell Roadmap. Where, when and from whom it is learned comes from the walkthrough of that act, because the walkthrough owns the scene; the roadmap's "Learned" lines now follow the walkthroughs.
4. What an enemy is (id, stats, behaviour, counters, drops) comes from the Bestiary. Which fight happens where, and its encounter id, comes from the walkthrough; the Bestiary's encounter tables now use the walkthroughs' ids.
5. What an item is (id, name, price, effect) and the currency come from Items and Economy.
6. Screen names come from Game Screens. Section 12 there maps every name the walkthroughs use to a screen.

What is now the same everywhere

Spells. Repel and Coil in the Prologue. Brace (Aske at the Sallowbank ferry, hand over hand; she traces and does not cast) and Mend (Sister Orla in Halfway) in Act 1, both optional. Act 2: Gale (Dace) and Facet Seal (circle from Rook at the Giving Steps, square on a storm shard) on the main line, Weigh on every midpoint path, and the faction and Waymaker spells as options. Act 3: Pavilion Wake and Hasten on the main line, then Linger, Toll, Recall, Prism Snare, Girdle Gate, Crown Surge and Bevel Lash. Act 4 adds no spell. The roadmap's full schedule is in its act table.

The Corran glyph is Pavilion Wake (pavilion_wake): Aske's hourglass shard on the left thumb (corran_half_hourglass) and the low-wave shard the player picks up in the Shardfield in Act 2 on the right (corran_half_wave), traced together at Corran's well. It replaces Act 3's Girdle Thaw and Act 4's placeholder corran_glyph. The Girdle cut and the Girdle house keep their names.

Threads. Headwind (Repel into Gale) is the first, taught by Rook or Dace in Act 2; Tempest (Gale into Coil) and Bulwark (Repel into Facet Seal) follow the lesson; Thornshield (Coil into Facet Seal) and Wellspring (Mend into Root) are Act 2's other named threads. Thaw (Repel into Pavilion Wake, 1,360 ms) undoes the stilling of Corran in Act 3; the scene is still called the Unstilling, and Aske casts Brace across the warp at the same moment. The First Pair (Brace into Facet Seal, #FFFFFF) is Act 4's reflected thread and replaces the roadmap's Stillhold. Knell stays on hold.

Flags.

Reputation. Side standing rep.evane and rep.facets; faction standing rep.wardens, rep.tenders, rep.keepers, rep.choir, rep.waymakers; personal morality. All run from −100 to 100, start at 0 and move in steps of 5.

Act 4's outcome moves standing once: Mended rep.evane +20 and rep.facets −20, Shattered the reverse, Held +10 with each side (and morality +5 if both companions stepped out).

Items and currency. One currency, copper. Battles never pay copper: glints, golems, constructs and wildlife drop the catalogue's materials, and a human who yields may leave a valuable (evane_silver, facet_token) or a little copper. The Bestiary's thirty placeholder drop ids now map onto the catalogue's eight materials. Key and quest items the walkthroughs need are listed in the items tab's section 3.6.

Enemies. The Bestiary has an entry for every enemy the walkthroughs field, including the Windglass Kite, the storm glint, the bramble and echo glints, practice targets and named opponents (Tamsin twice, Iver, Ondine, the culet cutters). The walkthroughs' encounter tables quote the Bestiary's numbers. The finale follows Act 4: Help Ondine is pane_chorus_guard then pane_shatter_stop; Help Iver is pane_chorus_break then pane_shatter_join; Stop both is pane_chorus_break then pane_shatter_stop, then the hold. The chorus is four voices because Dace refuses.

Story.

• The Sallow warp. Facet glyph-hunters widened the crack. A first Warden mending, unguarded, tore it open the night before the glints reached the farm door. The mending the player guards in Act 2 is Ondine's second. Act 1 only hints that the Glass ringing woke the Wyrm.
• Aske was a captain under Ondine. She never promises to go back to Twinhold. In Act 3 the player goes to Corran and she comes with them, and she casts once there (Brace). At the end of Act 3 she stays the night in Corran. In Act 4 she keeps a fire at the Pane's rim where both camps can sit, and her wave at the bend comes when she sets off with the handcart.
• The Corran girl is Brin; her mother is Hollis.
• The letters. Every tab assumes Aske's letters go to Ondine (Twinhold) and Iver (Lanternfall).
• Rook is the one-armed gateway. He shows Facet Seal in Act 1 and gives the circle in Act 2.
• Un-teaching is a Warden court's act, the morning after a crime, and never touches Repel. Enemy bindings are temporary and read "Your hands won't answer …".
• Halfway. The Proving Ring sits inside Halfway's truce stones, and the market's rows are the Pale Row, the Amber Row and the Middle Market.
• Names. Characters who shared a name across acts were renamed: Act 1's gate Facet is Wren, its glyph-giver Nell and its drover Jory; Act 2's hunter is Rusk; two of Act 3's Stilled are Pip and Teg.

Front matter. Every tab this pass touched now has the same header: tab, order, section, source, rev, exported. The walkthroughs are "Walkthrough: Prologue and Act 1" and "Walkthrough: Act N". The draft tabs say source: VEL-n draft, not yet in the doc and rev: 0 until the Lead publishes them. Their order follows the story: the walkthroughs 5–8, Side Quests 9, Bestiary 10, Spell Roadmap 11, Items and Economy 12, Game Screens 13.

Change log

Every change, one line each, grouped by file.

walkthrough-act-1.md

• Section 3 intro: "while both recruiters watch" became "while whichever recruiters came watch from the bank" (scene 5.1 lets the player bring neither)
• Section 3 stage table: stage 8's setter notes that Act1_Gates_Choose also sets act1.done 1 (VEL-63 act-end flag)
• Scene 2.1: removed "The quest log updates" (the scene sets no flag, so no quest stage can change)
• Scene 2.2: the road glint is a pack of three (road_glint = 3 glint), text and Who updated (bestiary owns the enemy; VEL-63 enemy map)
• Scene 2.3: Pim "won't take a coin" became "won't take a copper" (one currency, copper)
• Scene 3.2: Mott's chalk copy moves rep.facets +5, not +1 (rep moves in steps of 5)
• Scene 3.3: "coin-changer" became "token-changer" (matches section 4; no "coin" currency)
• Scene 3.5: healing_tonic x3 became 3 mend_tonic given by Orla and taken by Dorrit (<<give_item>>/<<take_item>>), art line says Mend Tonics; rep.evane +5 (catalogue id; quest copies no longer share a shop item loosely; rep steps of 5)
• Scene 4.3: Rook's scene also sets hid.glass 1 on a denial (the flag table says Tamsin or Rook; only 4.2 set it)
• Scene 4.4: the letter names are Ondine Ash and Iver Kest, as Act 2 has them, still pointing at question 5 (VEL-63 letter assumption)
• Scene 4.5: Where names Tamsin's and Rook's Ring markers Mark_tamsin_ring, Mark_rook_ring (the halfway.json sketch now places them at stage 4)
• Scene 5.2: Tamsin repeats the Wardens' line that the Facets did it, Rook blames a Warden mending, neither knows the whole story; "fight one glint" became "fight a glint pack" (VEL-63: Tamsin's doubts start in Act 3; road_glint is 3 glint)
• Scene 5.3: Player does adds Brace for the surges and Mend between phases; Content swaps the guard rule for the bestiary's plated shield and three phases; the item grant moved out (plate given once, in 5.4); Screens shows the plates open or closed (bestiary Wyrm wins; wyrm_plate granted once)
• Scene 5.4: wyrm_scale became wyrm_plate (key item, given once, here) in text, Player does, Content and Art (catalogue id)
• Scene 6.1: Reeve's reward is 60 copper; rep.evane and rep.facets +5 each (one currency; rep steps of 5)
• Scene 6.2: wyrm scale/cut scale/still-water amulet became wyrm_plate cut by Quill for 20 copper and set by Harl into a still_water_locket (charm: breath +8%) for 25 copper; nodes renamed Act1_Quill_Plate, Act1_Harl_Plate (VEL-63 item map and catalogue effect)
• Scene 6.4: sets act1.done 1 with act1.stage 8 (VEL-63 act-end flag)
• Section 4 The truce: "every coin is taken" became "every customer is served" (one currency; matches the items tab's Halfway rule)
• Section 4 Districts: the token-changer moved from the Amber Row to the Middle Market (scene 3.3 places it there; the items tab's weigh-house is in the Middle)
• Section 4 layout: the Proving Ring is in the old quarry inside the walls and the truce stones, not outside the wall (VEL-63 decision; the truce rules already said casting is allowed only in the Ring inside the walls)
• Section 4 People: Harl sets and Quill cuts the wyrm plate, not scale (catalogue id)
• Section 4 Shops intro: prices in copper, the one currency; silver and tokens are valuables; ids, effects and prices follow the items tab, and the four quest props are named as such (VEL-63 currency and item rules)
• Section 4 Shops table: Hob sells honey_bread 6 (+10 max HP next battle), herb_salve 15 and copper_band 45 instead of healing_tonic; Orla sells mend_tonic 18 (heal 20) and herb_salve 15 instead of healing_tonic/salve; Harl's glyph_bands row became copper_band at Hob (the catalogue sells it in the Middle) and his setting service makes the still_water_locket; Quill's sigil_pendant takes the catalogue effect and price 170; shard_charm became the shard_cuff commission (90 copper and 3 mirror_grit); Quill cuts the plate; the token-changer buys evane_silver and facet_token at 50 each (catalogue ids, effects and prices)
• Section 4 income: 60 copper from the Reeve; glints pay glint_quicksilver (sold at 4), never copper; notes the items tab's proposed 20 copper send-off purse (VEL-63: glints never drop copper)
• Section 5 still_water quest JSON: stage texts say wyrm plate / cut plate set in a locket (catalogue id)
• Section 6 halfway.json sketch: intro documents that an actor's marker drops the Mark_ prefix as built sallowbank.json does; Reeve actor named "Reeve Hollin Tace"; Tamsin and Rook gain actors at the Ring (stage 4) and the Split Loaf table (stages 5–6) (inventory slips 8 and 11; game data keeps the unprefixed actor marker)
• Section 8 Encounters: intro says stats, behaviour and drops are the bestiary's; road_glint is 3 glint at 14 HP each, 5 damage every 4 s, first attack 5 s, Repel staggers the pack 3.75 s, 10 XP, drops glint_quicksilver not coin; sallow_wyrm is 600 HP, colour #5FA8A0, first attack 8 s, plated 40-point shield opened by a stagger, three phases, 120 XP, drops 3 still_water not copper (bestiary wins on enemies; region-1 XP table)
• Section 8 Wyrm paragraph: the guard 0.25 rule and the old fight maths and stretch phase replaced by the bestiary's plates and three phases (VEL-63 replaces guard with the plates)
• Section 9 composites: names Headwind and says question 2 settles chains behind thread.taught (VEL-63 threading flag)
• Section 10 Flags: added act1.done; tamsin.trust/rook.trust range 0–5 with Act 1 raising each to 3; rep.evane/rep.facets −100 to 100, steps of 5, Act 1 moves each by 10 at most (VEL-63 flag names and ranges)
• Section 11 Ring Card: garbled Waymaker line fixed to "casts only Gale and won't teach it to anyone"; "small prizes" became "standing and a ladder place, never copper" (VEL-63: the Ring pays only standing and a ladder place)
• Section 12 Notes: Act 1 ends with act1.done 1; composites wait for thread.taught; Rook's Facet Seal "shown, not given; the circle is given in Lanternfall in Act 2" (was "the circle half shown"); the Wyrm's cause is only hinted and the warp's history follows VEL-63 (Tamsin repeats the Wardens' line); collision line says copper, catalogue item ids and bestiary enemy ids (VEL-63 story facts)
• Section 13 Q2: recommendation uses thread.taught set by Act 2's lesson, ends (VEL-63) (VEL-63 replaces skill.threading)
• Section 13 Q4: recommendation is no guard field, the bestiary's plated shield and phases plus the HUD cue, ends (VEL-63) (settled by the bestiary)
• Section 13 Q5: recommendation points at Act 2's Ondine Ash and Iver Kest as the working assumption, question left open, ends (VEL-63) (VEL-63 letters)
• Section 13 Q8: recommendation is one currency, copper, with evane_silver and facet_token as valuables at 50 copper, ends (VEL-63) (settled by the items tab)
• Section 13 Q10: recommendation adds that nobody in Act 1 knows for sure, ends (VEL-63) (VEL-63: Act 1 hints, never states)
• Cast: the Halfway gate's Facet Pell is now Wren (Mark_wren), the Amber Row's glyph-giver Mott is now Nell (Act1_Halfway_Nell), and the Waymaker drover Pim is now Jory (Act1_Road_Jory, met.jory) (Pell, Mott and Pim are other people in Acts 2 and 3)

• Open question 4: recommends locking threads behind thread.taught until the 4.1 lesson, as Act 1 does (the two acts disagreed)

walkthrough-act-3.md

• Intro: "section 4 lists every flag" → "section 16" (wrong cross-reference)
• 1 (act at a glance): chapter 5 spells now Pavilion Wake (the Corran glyph) and Thaw (thread), cast at the Unstilling (VEL-63 renames Girdle Thaw / unstilling)
• 1 (act at a glance): added Girdle Gate (ch. 1) and Recall (ch. 2) as optional reflected glyphs (VEL-63 spell schedule puts them in Act 3)
• 1.1: act2.complete → act2.done = 1 (VEL-63 flag name)
• 1.2: the player goes upstream and asks Aske along; she doesn't offer, says yes too quickly (VEL-63 decision/Story Bible: she follows the player)
• 1.2: line "if the player says 'I'm coming'" → "'Come with me'" (player asks her, not the reverse)
• 1.2: aske.party → companion.aske (VEL-63 companion flags)
• 1.3: fallback flag item.corran_half_crescent → item.corran_half_wave, "crescent shard" → "wave shard" (VEL-63 item rename)
• 1.4: random encounters road_glints, road_winged_glints → sallow_road_glints, sallow_road_winged (Act 2 already uses road_glints)
• 1.4: added optional Girdle Gate (reflected, glass storm, Shardfield road) and the Bevel Lash triangle half past the Corran road (VEL-63 spell schedule)
• 2.3: added optional Recall in Corran's clear glass at dawn, spell.learned.recall (VEL-63 spell schedule)
• 2.3: Aske's line "She was a captain then. So was I." → "She was my commander then." (VEL-63: Aske was a captain under Ondine)
• 2.4: corran_half_diamond → corran_half_hourglass, corran_half_crescent → corran_half_wave, "crescent" → "wave shard" (VEL-63 item ids)
• 2.5: slate shows "an hourglass and a wave" and names the glyph Pavilion Wake (VEL-63 glyph)
• 3.1: tamsin.party → companion.tamsin (VEL-63 companion flags)
• 3.2: hale.trust +1 only for keeping the hour, not on the writ route (makes the 3.4 trust check well defined)
• 3.4: Sallow warp ledger: first Warden mending, unguarded, tore it open the night before the farm door; Ondine's Act 2 mending recorded below it as the second (VEL-63 Sallow warp timeline)
• 3.4: records option 3 no longer "through Rook": the player carries the copy and gives it to Rook in 5.3 (Rook isn't there until 5.3)
• 3.4: option 4 needs hale.trust ≥ 1 (kept the hour or brought the shards), was ≥ 2 (unreachable with one +1)
• 3.4: handing Hale the hunters' shards gives hale.trust +1; added to the flags line (second trust source)
• 3.5: flags now set side.ringer.asked = 1 when Pim asks (the quest's startWhen flag was never set)
• 4.2: colossus phases rewritten to the bestiary's The Mass / The Crack / The Pull (sweep, chest crack and Warp Pulse, 40 s pull timer) (VEL-63 enemy map)
• 4.2: a glass figure cracks when The Pull's timer runs out, and the fight goes on; corran.cracked_figure set then (VEL-63: keep Act 3's consequence)

• 6.4: "colossus fight starts at phase 2" → "at its second phase, The Crack" (bestiary phase names)

• 9 (other threads): Bulwark suggested for The Crack, not the third phase; added Blight, Rebound, Deep Cut as roadmap threads found in Act 3 (colossus phases; VEL-63 thread list)

walkthrough-act-4.md

• Section 1: "being written at the same time … VEL-63 reconciles afterwards" now says the acts were reconciled and Act 4 starts where Act 3 leaves the player (the pass is done)
• Section 1: the Corran undoing is now Thaw (thaw, Repel into Pavilion Wake), and the Corran glyph is Pavilion Wake (pavilion_wake, split: Aske's hourglass half + the player's low-wave half, traced at the well) (VEL-63 spell schedule and threads)
• Section 1: Aske's one cast named as Brace across the warp at the Unstilling (VEL-63: her one cast)

• 4.1: Aske "stayed the night in Corran and has not slept" (VEL-63: she stays the night at the end of Act 3)
• 4.2: send-off reversed now names the letters' addressees, Ondine and Iver (Act 2) (VEL-63 working assumption on the letters)
• 4.3: Aske sets off ahead with the handcart and waves at the first bend, the wave the Prologue didn't have; cutscene beat added to Content to make (VEL-63: the wave moves to Act 4 4.3)
• 4.4: picket gate is morality −20 or lower (Fallen) instead of rep.morality "below the gate threshold" (VEL-63 morality bands)
• 4.4: undermere.found = 1 → undermere.stage ≥ 1 (Act 3's flag)

• End of chapter C: the stage-3 setter is now named: talking to Aske at her fire, Yarn Act4_Fire_Aske (missing setter)
• 4.11: lighting is night only at stage 3 (was "3 or 4"); Act4_Fire_Aske described as the stage-3 trigger, Act4_Fire_Night ends with Aske's word and sets stage 4, lighting turns to dawn (stage/lighting overlap)

• 4.18: <<prompt_cast corran_glyph>> → <<prompt_cast pavilion_wake>> (VEL-63 id)

• 4.19 companions card, Mended: Tamsin's "if she stepped out" → "at tamsin.trust ≥ 3" (she can't step out on the Ondine path)
• 4.19 companions card, Mended: Rook's "if he stepped out / if not" → "at rook.trust ≥ 3 / otherwise" (on the Ondine path he always steps out, so the Undermere branch could never happen)
• 4.19 companions card, Shattered: Rook's "if he stepped out" → "at rook.trust ≥ 3" (on the Iver path he never steps out)
• 4.19 Ondine and Iver card: trial side quest cross-reference section 9 → section 15 (the hook is in section 15)

• Section 9 Reputation: Even-handed needs both sides Trusted (25 or more) instead of "high" (VEL-63 standing bands)

• Section 12: intro says HP follows the bestiary's totals and the bestiary wins on numbers (VEL-63 rule 4)

• Section 14 New flags: met.seli row removed (met.brin is set in Act 3)
• Section 14 code needs: recognizer check for the First Pair's overlap with Thornshield at 0.55 (VEL-63 First Pair note)
• Section 15 hooks: "Seli's word" → "Brin's word": Hollis finishes Brin's lesson in the Corran glyph with the player tracing alongside; outcome decides whether Brin's hands take it (old hook had an unfound half, contradicting the Story Bible)

• Section 16 faction heads: Dace out and four voices settled (VEL-63); Wen and Hale flags marked still open (VEL-63 finale; VEL-63 does not name the flags)
• Section 16 new names: Seli and the Culet cut removed from the list; settled note that Brin is from Act 3 and Culet is a Story Bible cut name (VEL-63) (VEL-63 Brin; Story Bible section 2)

• Sky_shoal: drops sky_pane, quicksilver_bead → mirror_grit, glint_quicksilver (drop map)
• Mirror_double: parallel spells now fizzle like asymmetric ones (a mirror never shows parallel hands, Story Bible section 1); only mirrored spells are copied; a thread copies only its mirrored half (Story Bible section 1 contradiction)
• Hazard: the glass storm: new intro (Act 2 storm is a field set piece then storm_glint; from Act 3 the storm is a hazard boss with no glyph); glass_storm loses its reflected-glyph Eye and "square half" drop; counters use Facet Seal (whole since Act 2) and Linger (Act 3); damage/speed labels fixed (low then high; fast then normal); drops → mirror_grit x5; Where → Acts 3–4 (VEL-63: storm_glint is Act 2's storm fight)
• Glyph_hunter: region adds the Sallow warp (Act 3); Pick steals copper; adds the Act 3 Facet Seal (22 every 15 s); Prism Snare gated to Act 3; drops coin → facet_token; "Iver's people widened the Sallow warp" → Facet glyph-hunters widened the crack (some sold to Rook), then an unguarded Warden mending tore it open; Where names sallow_glyph_hunters (VEL-63 Sallow warp fact, Act 3 walkthrough)
• Forsworn_mender: region and first act → Long Road (Act 2) + Undermere; backstory "un-taught" → sealed by a court for one spell (Repel never goes) or fled; Sell the Seal uses "Your hands won't answer …", never Repel; new Long Road kit (160 HP, Repel and Brace, telegraphed) with its own data line; damage label mid → low; drops coin + cut_band + sealed Warden fragment → a little copper + evane_silver, no fragment; Where names road_raiders, forsworn_toll, undercrack_outlaws (VEL-63 enemy map, un-teaching fact, drop map)
• Hollow_cut: region and first act → Long Road (Act 2) + Undermere; new Long Road kit (160 HP, Bevel Lash only, telegraphed) with data line; counters say its Lash ignores shields (Drift, Repel interrupt); drops coin → a little copper; Where names road_raiders, hoard_raid, undercrack_outlaws; model note now asks VEL-66 for its sheet (VEL-63 enemy map)
• Undermere_outlaw: added kit scaling (duel 1 Evane kit 200 HP, duel 2 Facet kit 250 HP, duel 3 thread kit 300 HP) and a digger kit (picks and thrown quicksilver, 10 every 5 s, no threads, 120 HP, Coil/Gale) with data lines; drops coin → a little copper; Where names undermere_duel_1–_3 and undermere_diggers (Lead note, Act 3 walkthrough)
• New section "Named opponents" with tamsin_ring (100 HP, 10 every 5 s, Act 1 Ring), tamsin_spar (140 HP, Repel and Brace, losing = capture), culet_cutter (70 HP, 9 every 5 s at the chorus), mirrored_chorus_ally (300 HP ally); Iver and Ondine pointed to Bosses (VEL-63 finale numbers, Act 1/2/4 walkthroughs)
• Sallow_wyrm: drops coin removed, wyrm_plate granted once, Sister Orla named, Harl's still_water_locket (25 copper) added; Where notes Act 1 now uses this design (600 HP, plates instead of guard 0.25, three phases, 120 XP) and encounter sallow_wyrm (VEL-63 enemy map, item map)
• Mirrored_chorus: rewritten to Act 4's design: four voices (Tamsin, Bramble, Hale, Wen; Dace refuses; Ondine conducts, untargetable), 4 × 350 = 1,400 HP, beat every 6 s for 10 and gauge 8 towards Still, the four voice abilities and answers from Act 4 4.14, sing-over, the Pane rule, mender stand-ins; Where → pane_chorus_break (VEL-63 finale)
• ivers_shattering replaced by iver_kest (700 HP, cut every 5 s with cracks, Bevel Lash 18 every 6 s, Crown Surge then a 40 cut, faster at half HP, companion boons; Where pane_shatter_stop) (VEL-63 finale)
• New entry prelate_ondine (600 HP; mirrored ward ×0.25, Measure throw-back, stagger every 8 s, allied cuts; ward breaks at gauge +100; Where pane_shatter_join) (VEL-63 finale)
• What the code would need: Bevel Lash note moved to Act 2; added enemy cast telegraphs (Act 1), airborne, protect objective, recast-last-spell, effect-type weakness, Vault immunity (Act 2), bindings "never Repel"; removed the mid-battle reflected glyph; Act 3 timer now aims a blow at scenery; Act 4 now voices, ally HP bar, Pane gauge and cracks, and the hold as a field cast instead of a scripted finishing thread (new fights and finale)
• Open questions, Keeper and Still Choir colours: note added that the roadmap gives Keeper spells #FF8FA3 and Still Choir #E4ECFF, so the hour sentinel's #C9A44C no longer matches (roadmap owns spell colours)
• Open questions, the finale and the ending: settled to Act 4's structure (VEL-63) (VEL-63 finale)
• Open questions, Tobin and the Drowned Choir: settled yes, choristers drop hymn_page for Tobin's side quest (VEL-63) (VEL-63 drop map)
• Open questions, drops and items: settled, done, with the catalogue ids, key items, ring_token gone and the copper rule (VEL-63) (VEL-63 drop map)
• Named opponents: the six Ring Card challengers from the Side Quests tab's Proving Ring ladder (ids, encounters, HP and kits), so every ladder bout has a bestiary entry

spell-roadmap.md

• Intro: "26 spells ... eleven named threads" → 27 spells (20 Evane, 6 Facet, the Corran glyph) and ten named threads, Knell on hold and not counted (the old count was ambiguous and counted Knell)
• At a glance, act table: Bevel Lash moved from the Act 2 row to the Act 3 row ("sometimes late Act 2"); Knell marked on hold; Act 4 thread Stillhold → the First Pair; added a totals line (2 + 2 + 14 + 9 = 27 spells, 10 threads) (VEL-63 schedule; Bevel Lash is usually whole in Act 3)
• The difficulty curve: Bevel Lash moved from the Act 2 Lanternfall row to the Act 3 row; "faction visits" row renamed "faction visits and the midpoint" (Weigh comes from the midpoint); climax row marks Knell on hold; Act 4 row Stillhold 1,360 ms → the First Pair 1,190 ms (VEL-63 threads)
• Hasten paragraph: Hasten is taught by Hale before the hour trial on the main path (fallen road: stolen fragment at the Undermere fence), so every player has it before Thaw and Deep Cut (fixes "Hasten optional but Thaw needs its breath")
• Main path paragraph: rewritten: Repel, Coil, Gale, Headwind, Facet Seal, Hasten, Pavilion Wake, Thaw; Brace and Mend optional; Recall dropped (now optional); Linger noted as on the way with the trial built around it; Stillhold → the First Pair, shown to every player, learned if Brace and Facet Seal are known (Thaw is now Repel into Pavilion Wake, which fixes "Thaw needs Brace but Brace isn't required")
• Brace: Learned Tamsin at Halfway → Aske, hand over hand at the Sallowbank ferry (quest aske_brace), she traces without casting, optional but recommended; Act 1 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule; Act 1 walkthrough owns the scene)
• Tally: glyph kind taught → whole; Learned → whole glyph on the drill stone in the Twinhold recruits' yard after the Wardens' offer; Act 2 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Weigh: Field no longer opens the Measure Vault's inner door (the Vault's wards open to a mirrored draw, per Act 2); Learned robbed route → found by Iver's crew cut inside the Vault, not on the inner door; added "every player leaves Act 2 with Weigh" (fixes Weigh's circularity; VEL-63 schedule)
• Mend: Learned unnamed healer → Sister Orla at her Pale Row stall, quest mend_lesson, optional; Act 1 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Wither: glyph kind taught → whole; Learned Mother Bramble → whole glyph on a dead stump on Greenvault's decay terrace (key item fragment_wither) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Root: Learned "vine roof of the hall" → a whole glyph cut in a living vine; field line says there is no Bloom spell (VEL-63 schedule)
• Recall: the five-person-seal Keepers line marked (Idea) with a note that the Story Bible doesn't say who stood in the seal; Act 3 → Act 3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule; lore not in Story Bible)
• Toll: glyph kind whole → taught; Learned bell lip → Old Pim at the third bell after the bell-ringing errand; Act 3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Linger: Learned sundial at the top of the stair → whole glyph cut into the seventh bell's frame; "on the main path" → on the way up, the hour trial is built around it (VEL-63 schedule; Act 3 says not main line)
• Hasten: Learned "after reading the sealed records" → Hale hand over hand before the hour trial; fallen road a stolen fragment from the Undermere fence; Act 3 (main path) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Hush: Learned → Wen hand over hand, in signs, after the echo glint fight (VEL-63 schedule)
• Calm: Learned "the monks of the abbey" → Wen at the listening stone (VEL-63 schedule)
• Echo: glyph kind reflected → taught; Learned still pool → Wen hand over hand with Hush after the echo glint fight (VEL-63 schedule: taught, not reflected)
• Listen: glyph kind whole → taught; Learned the never-rung bell → Wen at the listening stone (VEL-63 schedule)
• Gale: Learned adds the windmill ridge (VEL-63 schedule)
• Drift: glyph kind whole → taught; Learned waystone → Ness at the Long Road camp for the three lost ribbons; Act 2 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Tailwind: Learned points at the side quests tab (VEL-63 schedule)
• Squall: Learned storm shrine → sail-patch fragment (fragment_squall) at the Endless Caravan's last known camp, Waymaker side quest (VEL-63 schedule)
• Facet Seal: Learned → circle given by Rook at the Giving Steps (fragment_facet_seal_circle); square on one standing shard shown only while the glass storm blows (fragment_facet_seal_square is its record) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Table Mend: Learned "any Facet" → a Facet healer in Lanternfall's healers' lane, to anyone who asks; Act 2 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Bevel Lash: Learned halves swapped and moved: line in the Vault haul or near Lanternfall, triangle deep in the Shardfield past the Corran road, usually whole in Act 3; Act → Act 2–3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Prism Snare: Learned glass-cutter's shop + Rook's courier → square in the Girdle house (prism_snare_half_square), triangle on the Keepers' confiscated shelf (prism_snare_half_triangle); Act 3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Girdle Gate: Act 3 → Act 3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Crown Surge: Learned "fresh warp near Sallowbank, fades in days" → lip of the Sallow warp, fades at act3.stage 10, resurfaces at fresh warps (glyph hunts), stolen copy at the Undermere fence; Act 3 (optional) (VEL-63 schedule)
• Pavilion Wake: Learned names the halves (hourglass = Aske's shard corran_half_hourglass, wave = corran_half_wave), the well, flag spell.learned.pavilion_wake, and that it replaces girdle_thaw / corran_glyph; Field names Thaw's parts (VEL-63 schedule)
• Composites, Headwind: Discovered "whoever the player meets first" → scene 4.1, Rook in Lanternfall (route A) or Dace at the wind-pass summit (route B) (VEL-63 threads)
• Composites, Thornshield: look-alike "Brace into Facet Seal" → "The First Pair (Brace into Facet Seal)" (that chain is now a named thread)
• Composites, Knell: added "not counted as a named thread until C2 is fixed" (VEL-63 threads)
• Composites, Thaw: Brace into Pavilion Wake → Repel into Pavilion Wake; effect adds 3 s stagger; breath 1,360 ms kept (0.85 × 1,600); Discovered names the Unstilling, why Repel, and Aske's Brace cast; look-alike → "Not checked yet (Repel into Pavilion Wake is new)" (VEL-63 threads; replaces Act 3's unstilling)
• Composites: Stillhold row replaced by the First Pair (Brace into Facet Seal, shield 40 + reflect next attack within 4 s, 1,190 ms, #FFFFFF, Act 4 scene 4.12, look-alike Thornshield 0.55 needing a recognizer check) (VEL-63 threads)
• Composites notes: cross-side colour note drops Stillhold and explains the First Pair's #FFFFFF exception; new note on the First Pair / Thornshield 0.55 overlap (VEL-63 threads)
• Changes from the Spell Set tab: new-spells bullet explains the 20 + 6 + 1 = 27 count; new Echo bullet (14 → 12 mm; still taught by Wen); Brace bullet → Aske at the ferry, settled; Acts bullet → Bevel Lash usually Act 3 (Echo change was missing; Brace settled)
• What the code would need: Reflect adds the First Pair (new thread reflects)
• Open question 4 (Brace's teacher): recommendation → Aske at the Sallowbank ferry, traces without casting; "Settled as Aske (VEL-63)" (VEL-63 decision)
• Open question 8 (Crown Surge): recommendation updated to the VEL-63 fade/resurface/fence route, marked (VEL-63) (VEL-63 schedule settles it)
• Open question 9 (Corran glyph's name): recommendation adds pavilion_wake, replaces "Girdle Thaw", Girdle cut/house keep their names, marked (VEL-63) (VEL-63 schedule settles it)
• Composites, Tempest: Discovered "the Long Road wind pass during the caravan defence; Dace shows it" → "after the thread lesson: Dace names it the first time the player threads Gale into Coil (or shows it on the Long Road if threading is already taught)" (Lead note: no thread before the scene 4.1 lesson)
• Composites, Bulwark: Discovered → "Rook shows it once Facet Seal is whole and threading is taught" (Lead note: no thread before the lesson)
• Weigh: third route "Tamsin teaches it as the player leaves Twinhold" → "Otherwise Tamsin teaches it hand over hand when the midpoint closes, wherever the player is" (Lead note)

items-and-economy.md

• Intro, rule 1: "No shop ... ever sells a glyph fragment" → "No honest shop"; added the Undermere fence as the one exception, outside the law, and the fragments still have to be traced (the Act 3 fence sells stolen fragments)
• 1. Currency: "Halfway copper is the coin both sides accept" → "the money both sides accept" (VEL-63: never "coin" as a currency name)
• 1. Where copper comes from, side quests: added a pointer to the side quests tab (side-quests.md) (quests and rewards now live there)
• 1. Where copper comes from, letters: "an item, not coin" → "not copper"; "The Warden pays ... the Facet gives" → "Ondine pays ... Iver gives" (VEL-63 currency word; VEL-63 letter recipients)
• 1. Where copper comes from, selling: "Glints carry no coin" → "no copper" (VEL-63 currency word)
• 1. battle-pay paragraph: glints, golems, constructs and wildlife pay materials, never copper; humans who yield drop a Silver Measure / Glass Token, outlaws a little copper (VEL-63 rule 5)
• 1. Where copper goes, unbinder: 200 → "200 (150 with Rook's Sigil Chit)" (the chit now has a real use)
• 2. Key items, glyph fragments: added that stolen copies from the Undermere fence are the one item for a taught or warp-born glyph (fence stock needs items)
• 2. Key items, seals and passes: "open a place or a service" → "or change its price" (the chit lowers prices, opens nothing)
• 3.1 Breath Tonic row: added Twinhold (shop row: Hall of Measure outfitter sells it)
• 3.1 Herb Salve row: added Halfway Evane Row (the Tender's Stall) and Greenvault (shop rows sell it there)
• 3.1 Eel Pie row: added the Long Road (shop row: caravan quartermaster sells it)
• 3.2 Still-Water Locket row: added Harl setting the Wyrm Plate into one for 25 copper in Act 1 (VEL-63 item map for still_water_amulet)
• 3.2 Reed Collar row: added Choirmistress Wen's reward, Act 2 (VEL-63 item map)
• 3.3 Mirror Grit row: source → glints, other glass creatures and wildlife, the Shardfield (VEL-63 maps the bestiary's placeholder drops to mirror_grit)
• 3.4 Letter to Twinhold / Letter to Lanternfall rows: recipients → Prelate Ondine / Iver, marked as the working assumption (VEL-63 letters)
• 3.4 Wither Fragment row: flavour and source → the dead stump on Greenvault's decay terrace (VEL-63 schedule)
• 3.4 Squall Fragment row: flavour, source and icon → sail-patch from the Endless Caravan's last known camp, Waymaker side quest, lightning-bolt mark instead of two peaks (VEL-63 schedule; Squall is now a bolt in the roadmap)
• 3.4 corran_half_glyph "Broken Glyph Tile" → corran_half_wave "Corran Shard: the Wave", the right-thumb half of Pavilion Wake, completes Aske's shard in Act 3; flavour and icon brief now a shard with a wave (VEL-63 item map)
• 3.4 Rook's Sigil Chit row: flavour drops "Lanternfall doors open for it"; effect → unbinder 150 instead of 200 and Facet Row prices one standing band better (chosen over cutting it: Lanternfall never refuses anyone, so a door-opening chit did nothing)
• New 3.6 "Key and quest items the walkthroughs add": table (name, id, from, act, use) for wyrm_plate, sentinel_glyph, seed_charm, hale_note, waymaker_ribbon, waymaker_ribbon_worn, vault_map, wen_letter, corran_half_hourglass, prism_snare_half_square, prism_snare_half_triangle, colossus_heart, hymn_page, fragment_hasten, fragment_crown_surge, letter_ondine, letter_iver, rope, lamp_oil, dry_boots, twinhold_road_map, and unique gear amber_goggles (Charm: learning bar 50% for split glyphs, independent sync grace +20 ms) and split_glyph_band (band: counts as Evane and Facet, so Even-handed; threads +40 ms breath); outside the 48-item icon sheets for now (VEL-63 item map; waymaker_ribbon_worn and the two stolen fragments added because Act 2 and the fence need them)
• 4. heading: "Shops: Acts 1–2" → "Shops: Acts 1–2 and the Undermere" (new Act 3 fence subsection)
• 4. Halfway, the Tender's Stall: unnamed healer → Sister Orla teaches Mend for a small job (quest mend_lesson) (VEL-63 schedule)
• 4. Sallowbank: "No shops" reworded → no shops and no shop screens; two neighbours, Marra and Tobin, sell from the door in conversation (removes the "no shops but they sell" contradiction)
• 4. Act 2, unbinder row: added "or 150 with Rook's Sigil Chit" (chit use)
• 4. Standing and service outside Halfway: names the track rep.evane; adds that the chit opens no door and only lowers prices (VEL-63 track names; chit reconciled with "Lanternfall never refuses anyone")
• 4. new "Act 3: the Undermere fence": Vey's fence in Mott's den, fallen players only, shop id undermere_fence; stolen fragments of Hasten and Crown Surge at 300 copper each (first guess), Mend Tonic, Herb Salve and Amber Cordial at catalogue +50% (VEL-63 schedule: fence sells stolen Hasten and Crown Surge)
• 5. Uniques bullet: added the Amber Goggles and the Split Glyph Band (new unique gear)
• 6. price table: added a track-value column with the VEL-63 bands (Trusted 25 or more, Neutral −24 to 24, Distrusted −25 to −59, Shunned −60 or less) and track names rep.evane / rep.facets; note on range −100 to 100, start 0, steps of 5, and the chit's one-band bonus (VEL-63 standing bands)
• 9. Open question "One currency": recommendation added, one currency copper, (VEL-63) (VEL-63 rule 5)
• 9. Open question "no glyph for sale, including the Undermere": recommendation added, no honest shop; the fence is the one exception (VEL-63) (VEL-63 schedule)
• 9. Open question "Who are the letters addressed to?": recommendation added, Ondine and Iver as the working assumption until the Story Bible settles it (VEL-63) (VEL-63 letters)
• Section 4, Halfway: rows renamed the Pale Row and the Amber Row and the Middle Market, and the stalls named and keepered as Act 1 has them (Hob's Sundries, Sister Orla's Remedies, Harl, the Measure Post, Quill's Cut Glass, Mott's table, the token-changer); Hob keeps the Market Board and sells the Copper Band (two tabs named the same market differently)
• Catalogue: Sigil Pendant also sold at Quill's Cut Glass in Halfway (Act 1 sells it there for the sigil hook)
• Halfway: Mott's table is Nell's table (Act 1's glyph-giver was renamed; Mott is Act 3's Undermere door)
• 3.6: points at the Side Quests tab for the quest props its quests add (one list, not two)

screens.md

• Shop: copper instead of coins; Buy, Sell and Buy back tabs; prices after the standing modifier on the Pale and Amber Rows; commissions show their materials; <<open_shop id>>; no "Bag full" state, since overflow is sold (the Items and Economy tab's shop and satchel rules)
• Pause: tiles named Journal, Map, Spell book and Inventory everywhere, plus a Standing tile (four labels for two screens before)
• Spell book: faction filter chips, the 27-spell count, a "Half found" state for split glyphs, a sealed state, threads listed by name and parts (the spell roadmap and Act 2's half-found Facet Seal)
• Spell practice and learning: the sealed ("Your hands have forgotten …") and bound ("Your hands won't answer …") fizzle reasons; split glyphs show one fragment per thumb (Story Bible un-teaching; bestiary bindings)
• Inventory: chips are the items tab's four categories; purse in copper; Trace for fragments; use reasons follow the items tab (belt, before battle, at a fragment)
• Letters and documents: Break the seal behind a Confirm dialog; writes letter.*.opened (the items tab and Act 2 already assume the seals can be broken)
• Battle HUD: variants the walkthroughs need (plated shield bar, wagon bar, storm timer, fight timer, Pane gauge, ally bar)
• Battle results and section 4: battles pay XP and drops, never copper; the coins encounter field is gone (the items tab's rule)
• New section 11: Standing, Notice boards (Truce Board, Market Board, bulletin boards, caravan board, Ring Card), Cutscene, Measuring card, Epilogue cards, and variants of Dialogue, Field-cast, Map and Toasts (screens the walkthroughs list that the spec lacked)
• New section 12: a table mapping every screen name the walkthroughs use to a screen in the spec (VEL-63 comment 12183: check every "Screens used" is covered)
• Open questions: renumbered as section 13; 8 (Market) answered by Notice boards and 15 (sealed letters) by the items tab, both "(VEL-63)"; "independent spells" now "asymmetric spells" (the Story Bible's word)

side-quests.md

• New tab: 58 side quests across the Bestiary's eight regions (7 or 8 per region, Corran 5 plus its twelve woken errands), the Proving Ring ladder, caravan jobs and warp-born glyph hunts. Quests a walkthrough already specified keep their ids and point at their scene (the ticket's part 2).
