Historical Arcs

Timeline arcs group related events by narrative momentum. Arcs can overlap and recontextualize earlier events.

• Post-Eclipse Stabilization: early efforts to anchor BE/AE continuity and patch rifts.
• Rise of Industrial Powers: Kaerugan, Galport, and allied tech blocs reshaping trade.
• Fracture of Elemental Orders: elemental courts splinter; curses and treaties (e.g., Wings of Accord) emerge.
• Emergence of the Ninth Wave: insurgent movement destabilizes crossings and prisons.

Regional arcs slot beneath these sweeps (e.g., Hirogawa grief/loops, Crimson vs. Seigetsu rivalry, Yukigami entombment, Verdathal bio-tech, Varthum time scholars, Eresh dream-binding, Galport treaty, independent realms like Mycomind/Kojimigakure).

• Need act-by-act breakdowns per arc and dependencies between them.
• Confirm ordering when arcs overlap (e.g., Ninth Wave vs. Industrial Rise).
• Media: add charts/flow diagrams for arc overlap once assets exist.
