Story companion
Accounts and character notes tied to a named chapter. They are not recovered historical records.
Companion fiction
New writing created for this collection. It does not replace the text or outcomes of the novels.
Historical note
Researched context, with a source beside it. The fictional ship is never presented as a surviving museum plan.
Books Two and Three remain forthcoming. Their manuscript text, editorial comments and plot revelations are not included in this collection. New folios will appear when ready, rather than on an artificial countdown.
