Cultural Tenets

Summary

Across regions, a few shared tenets persist even when histories diverge. They frame how communities treat time, power, and care.

Common tenets

  • Time must not be dominated: Attempts to seize or rewrite time trigger backlash.
  • Stability is earned through care: Maintenance, ritual, and stewardship keep spaces navigable.
  • Power invites consequence: Overreach (political, arcane, or temporal) generates proportional costs.

Notes

  • Violations of these tenets often precede collapse.
  • Local variants exist, but the themes recur across factions and regions.
