Meta Vens 5c45e2788b Faction Play: make faction vibes distinct through the five levers
Candidate design from an Imagination pass. One learnable quirk per faction,
each tested by the player adjustment it forces, landed on levers the legacy
tree has: Faction.Personality read by the existing Minion agent plus the four
states the tutorial sketch already needs, Allegiance and product roles for
loadouts, station stock and security for resources, signature behaviour and
earned HUD identity for visuals, barks and dock stories for hooks. Includes
prior art, cross-faction dynamics, a cut list, lore change proposals and the
inter-faction relations fork.

AetheriaLore

Aetheria is an open science-fantasy setting built to hold radically different stories inside one causal world: black-magic hard SF and noir before Elysium, giant mecha and cultivation epics after it, Ratfolk first contact, cockpit action, corporate logistics, and whatever pressure point another writer finds next. Technologies have histories, institutions have incentives, and consequences survive the stories that create them.

Writers do not need custody of the whole universe. Shared notes own their stated constraints; finished stories own their cast, place, depicted sequence, and immediate consequences. Developmental notes, game designs, and brainstorming may test possibilities without silently changing shared physics, faction history, or practice. A local claim becomes shared canon when the relevant owner note explicitly incorporates it.

AetheriaLore is the source vault for aetheria.gamecult.org. It contains setting material, fiction, game design, articles, media, and the Aetheria-specific site overlay.

Repository Map

  • Aetheria/: source vault content and media; publication is filtered by the site configuration
  • site/: Aetheria-specific Quartz configuration, layout, components, and styles
  • scripts/quartz/quartz.ps1: local build and development launcher
  • quartz-site/public/: generated static output
  • .github/workflows/deploy-quartz.yml: deployment workflow using the shared engine
  • AGENTS.md: contribution, continuity, and writing conventions

Internal Brainstorming/ and Inspiration/ branches are excluded from publication. They are working material, not automatic canon.

Local Development

Local builds expect GameCult-Quartz either at the sibling path E:\Projects\GameCult-Quartz or at the path supplied through GAMECULT_QUARTZ_ROOT.

Install the shared engine dependencies first:

cd E:\Projects\GameCult-Quartz
npm ci

Then run from this repository root:

.\scripts\quartz\quartz.ps1 dev

For a one-off production build:

.\scripts\quartz\quartz.ps1 build

The launcher stages the shared engine under .quartz-build/engine and writes the finished site to quartz-site/public.
