    "stableId": "forge-realm",
    "displayName": "The Unnamed Forge Realm",
    "kind": "world",
    "identityLock": "The Forge of Ruin setting is a cold, Fire-dominant Heartland Realm whose Arcane lattice gathers under heavy strikes, ringing iron, and pressure. Its page-level places are specific—Galdheim, Vedmark, Nydmark, Harrow's Rest, named passes and siege sites, the Ashenmarch, Deep Wild, and Thornwall—but the Realm itself is deliberately unnamed and unmapped; regional distances, settlement architecture, river and mountain systems, and coastline remain human-author questions.",

    "openIdentityVariables": [
      "the Realm's canonical name and linguistic system",
      "map, distances, routes, river system, mountains, and possible coastline",
      "regional settlement and longhouse architecture beyond named rooms",
      "civilian clothing, agricultural economy, seasonal cycle, and transport",
      "visual boundaries among ordinary Fire, kinetic Arcane, Mawfather corruption, and Pale Commander forces"
    ],
    "allowedVariation": "This is an identity-discovery study, not an identity master. The following variables are deliberately provisional and may be explored without being treated as canon: the Realm's canonical name and linguistic system; map, distances, routes, river system, mountains, and possible coastline; regional settlement and longhouse architecture beyond named rooms; civilian clothing, agricultural economy, seasonal cycle, and transport; visual boundaries among ordinary Fire, kinetic Arcane, Mawfather corruption, and Pale Commander forces. Only source-defined traits, role or Gate relation, evidence objects, relationship, and story beat may not drift; every variable named as open above must remain visibly provisional."

  "storyBeat": "In Galdheim before a winter workday, a repaired cellar chain circuit measures exactly eight feet beside a used ledger, quenching trough, cold well water, and a forge where tool maintenance—not battle spectacle—shows how memory, restraint, iron, heat, and pressure organize daily life.",
