Lore versus outcome
This page records background that official material establishes before release. It can explain motives, institutions, and historical context, but it cannot predict the result of Coen’s choices. Future updates should keep a clean separation between codex-level history, dialogue claims made by characters, and consequences that players can independently reproduce in the final game.
