Konrad stands under Samuel's hidden red control while Sylvan observes from the clear opposing side.

Development workspace · September 6 workshop pass

Find the cause. Test the choice.

All twenty workshop gates have accepted directions. Their unresolved mechanics remain visible. The active Story Completion gate remains SC-010 Question 7.

Public, read-only development material with full spoilers. Draft answers stay in your browser until exported; they do not update the vault. A spoiler boundary is not privacy protection.

The same reviewed Markdown builds the atlas and this topic index. Open a source to inspect its authority; follow its canonical links before changing a claim.

ai

A bond that has to be learned.

Luminai extend human minds. Sylvan's new generation deepens that relationship. The mechanics still need limits.

Source and canon links · Atlas view
archive

The archive remembers. The author decides.

A development system that keeps evidence, invention, and approval separate.

colonization

A real life inside a constructed world.

The environment has a purpose. The people inside it still have lives of their own.

index

A world built to reveal its people.

You wake inside a civilization modeled on the distant past. Your future depends on learning what it is really for.

timeline

History moves forward. Discovery does not have to.

Book One begins near the outcome. Later books return to the choices that made it possible.

Story completion · Live from the vault

From architecture to manuscript.

The story advances horizontally: every active problem receives the same level of development before any one branch moves deeper.

Integrated foundation review · September 5, 2026

The environment develops the bond. The outcome tests responsibility.

The leaders created an interactive colonization environment and developed Luminai within it. Konrad tries to prove his experienced daemon superior; Samuel turns his reactivation into access. Sylvan already has decisive control during the final years. Exact safeguards and presentation mechanics remain open.

Seeds of the Throne

This repository is the AI-facing Obsidian vault for developing Seeds of the Throne.

It is persistent working memory for story development: chronological sessions, compiled story elements, compact context files, research, drafts, public material, and continuity QA.

Public website

The complete tracked repository is published under https://iainreid.dev/devsite/ so its public-facing vault material can be explored directly. The iainreiddotdev/ directory contains the PHP portfolio previously maintained in the separate public iainreid.dev repository, and the root index.php redirects /devsite/ visitors into that nested application at /devsite/iainreiddotdev/. The Project Explorer provides a read-only folder tree, document search, and rendered view of every non-hidden Markdown file. Repository metadata and dotfiles remain blocked from web access.

Start here

  1. Read START HERE.
  2. Read 03 Context/CURRENT.
  3. Read 03 Context/RULES.
  4. For current cast, world, and story summaries, read the other files in 03 Context/.

Important separation

The old working vault is kept separately as Seeds of the Throne archive. It is not part of this repository and is not routine AI context. Old transcripts, sensitive mappings, and unsafe historical material were intentionally excluded from this vault.

Working roles

  • The author makes story decisions and controls final voice.
  • GPT is the story-development and organization command center.
  • Research is advisory and does not create canon automatically.

Session workflow

Record development in 01 Sessions/Daily/. Preserve competing possibilities and contradictions there. Promote deliberately selected material into 02 Story/, update 03 Context/ when the working summary changes, and record consequential resolutions in 07 QA/Decisions.md.

Mobile and desktop handoff

Mobile sessions may develop story material, research plans, vault-ready notes, and public copy. Local repository reconciliation, structural edits, code or website changes, verification, commits, pushes, and publishing happen on desktop. See 07 Coordination and the desktop implementation queue.
