The Recovered Ledger
Foundation, not a Dragon Feather reprint
This volume is the gazetteer analogue. The Player’s Handbook lists the Nine so you can pick a banner. This book sits with each House long enough to paint, seat, and refuse the wrong history.
The identity set originated in Dragon Feather-era documents. It is foundation, not a license to import old mechanics, Quickplay staples, or archived relic names. World-map coordinates and final House placement remain a production task.

Confirmed relationships
| Houses | Bond |
|---|---|
| Lunara ↔ Aetherion | Confirmed rivalry |
| Valoris ↔ Draconis | Confirmed alliance and shared kingdom / co-rule |
| Noctara ↔ Veyrith | Shared underground crystal connection, not automatic alliance |
All other relationships are scenario or playtest material. Do not lock a web of secret treaties in the first session.
Play the Houses as political identities now; pin them to the 24 × 24 grid when the Seed tells you to.
