removedA single bloodline no longer sits frozen in one age. It now crosses one hundred generations and six ages — from oath-fire and named keeps, through charters and registries, commerce and industry, to the public archive of the present. The page ages with the blood: oaths harden into charters, charters into records, scripture into paperwork. The heir who closes the ledger is the same blood that lit the first candle.
added◈ The Era Spine — six ages, one bloodline The Founding Age · The Charter Age · The Early State · The Mercantile Pressure · The Industrial Dread · Bloodweight Now. Each age changes how Bloodweight reads, sounds, looks, and plays — events, Witan language, faction forms, resources, UI texture, backdrops, and ambience all move with time. Era Troths at the age-turns: does the house evolve, resist, sanctify the new age, or submit to its records? Long-term identity, not a flavor button.
changed◈ World Builder — author the world before it judges you Build the world the bloodline will answer to before the ledger opens: name the world and your house; forge the founder — look, stats, personality, banner, oath, relic set the starting age, era span, or lock a single age shape estate, holdings, heirs, resources, reliquary, and rules choose the Soul Teller's default voice review the whole world, then play it through to the present
added◈ Living rival houses — and the one sworn nemesis (new) Every rival house now breeds its own heir each generation — born, named, aged, and succeeded, exactly like your line. Open a house's page to meet the living head: their portrait, their line's depth, the traits that define them, where they stand toward your blood. One house is your sworn rival — a single nemesis set against you from the founding to the final age. In World Builder you author its founding head: a name and a temperament (cruel, proud, calculating, honourable, zealous). The nemesis can be ground to its knees but never wiped out — its heir inherits the feud, and the Soul Teller remembers the enemy as clearly as the hero.
changed◈ The Soul Teller — your failure, your voice Selectable chronicle voices: the ironic ledger-clerk, a cold annalist, a folkloric omen, an intimate elegist. The same run reads differently depending on who interprets it. Richer record: the chronicle now names your rivals and your nemesis personally — the parallel bloodline becomes the second story it tells.
added◈ Every era leaves a face (presentation + portraits) A new age-evolving portrait mode — medium and garb shift forward with time; a founding heir is painted in gilt and oath, a modern one set against paperwork and glass. Slicker heraldic crest, and a more expressive amanuensis that now wears the heir's own hair, skin, and eye colour. Parchment becomes registry, newsprint, and archive; UI, music, and ambience tint by age.
