Lore Briefing: The Fracture Crown
A first look at the collapse that split the continent into Outer, Inner, and Core territories.
The Fracture Crown ended the old imperial era and created the modern risk ladder.
Three resulting zones
- Outer Islands stabilized first and became migration points.
- The Inner Ring became politically contested.
- The Core never recovered and remains permanently volatile.
The old crownline archives still influence modern claims of rulership legitimacy.
