Summary
Relationships between factions shift with temporal phases, grievance cycles, and access to anomalies/resources. Alliances are provisional and context-specific.
Destabilizing factors
- Temporal phase: stability swings with rifts/echoes; routes open/close unpredictably.
- Historical grievances: contradictory records cause mismatched expectations between partners.
- Resource/anomaly access: control of crossings, salvage sites, or temporal tech realigns blocs.
Illustrative ties
- Galport – Eddara: treaty arc "Wings of Accord" to lift flight curse; see Galport and Harbormaster Compact.
- Eresh – Kaerugan – Crimson: dream-binding vs entropy vs elemental courts; see Eresh Emirate and Kaerugan Federation.
- Varthum – Eresh/Galport: memory tech exchange (Salt Libraries, Gatekeeper quests); see Varthum.
- Verdathal – Eddara: bio/forest tech cooperation; see Verdathal.
- Ninth Wave vs all: antagonist pursuing Infinitree/Chronobonsai; destabilizes crossings.
- Neutral/Outside: Mycomind and Kojimigakure stay lateral to mainland blocs.
Notes
- All alliances provisional; adjust per local temporal stability.
- Add missing links when Kaerugan Iron Jungle and Marella Sea Horn pages exist.
