# AetheriaLore
`AetheriaLore` is the source vault for `https://aetheria.gamecult.org`: lore, design notes, stories, and the sort of worldbuilding that thrives when nobody forces it into a CMS shaped like office software.
The site now builds against the shared `GameCult-Quartz` engine instead of carrying its own private Quartz clone. This repo owns the vault content and the Aetheria-specific overlay; the engine lives next door.
## Repository Map
- `Aetheria/`: the actual vault content
- `site/`: Aetheria-specific Quartz overlay
- `quartz.config.ts`
- `quartz.layout.ts`
- custom components
- custom styles
- static assets
- `quartz-site/public/`: generated static output
- `scripts/quartz/quartz.ps1`: local build/dev launcher
- `.github/workflows/deploy-quartz.yml`: Pages deploy workflow, delegated to `GameCult-Quartz`
- `AGENTS.md`: writing and editing conventions
## Shared Engine Dependency
Local builds expect the shared engine repo to exist either:
- as a sibling checkout at `E:\\Projects\\GameCult-Quartz`, or
- at the path provided through `GAMECULT_QUARTZ_ROOT`
Install dependencies in `GameCult-Quartz` first:
```powershell
cd E:\Projects\GameCult-Quartz
npm ci
```
## Local Development
From the repository root:
```powershell
.\scripts\quartz\quartz.ps1 dev
```
For a one-off production build:
```powershell
.\scripts\quartz\quartz.ps1 build
```
The shared engine stages a runtime under `.quartz-build/engine` and writes the finished static site to `quartz-site/public`.
## Vault Structure
Most published material lives under `Aetheria/`, especially these branches:
- `Lore/`
- `Game Design/`
- `Stories/`
If you want the setting in sequence, start with:
1. `Aetheria/index.md`
2. `Aetheria/Lore/index.md`
3. `Aetheria/Stories/index.md`
Some vault paths remain intentionally unpublished, including internal brainstorming and inspiration dumps. They can stay messy in private instead of oozing onto the public site.
