Lore begins with the Moon.

The first published work of the southern ring is a mythic telling of Earth, Theia, and the child made from their collision. It treats cosmic formation as relationship: a story of longing, impact, grief, distance, and continuity.

Purpose of the southern ring
Governance states what a civilization values. Lore reveals whether those values can be lived.
