NPC Pages Updated

  1. npcs/Lukor.md - Added more context from Sessions 42a/42b

Canonical Decisions

TermCanonical TargetRationale
Basil (Session 44)npcs/Basil.mdLink pointed to notes/ instead of npcs/. Basil of Narsileon is the canonical page.
Yoburra (Session 44)npcs/Yoburra.mdPage exists but was not linked in Significant NPCs list.
Helena (Session 43c)npcs/Helena.md (new)Set accountant, surrendered keys and ledgers. Significant speaking role.
Gresta (Session 43c)npcs/Gresta.md (new)Cook found in kitchen, tasked with feeding former slaves. Named role.
Dobby (Session 43b)npcs/Dobby.md (new)Named Imperial Goblin thief who tried to backstab Lacrymosa. Distinct character.
Jadeel the Soulless (Session 43b)npcs/Jadeel the Soulless.md (new)Named Archontean wizard, fought party, cast Invisibility on Dobby. Significant combatant.
Killik (Session 42a)npcs/Killik.md (new)Named Goblin Boss of the Wet Caves, interacted with party. Distinct from generic bosses.
Gribble referencesnpcs/Gribble.mdAlready canonical, already properly linked in most places.
Temrin referencesnpcs/Temrin.mdAlready canonical.

Holds/Ambiguities

Low Materiality - No Pages Created

The following entities appeared but were deemed insufficiently significant for individual pages:

  1. “Set cultist” / “Set acolyte” / “Set deacon” - Generic cultists without names
  2. “Many goblins” - Generic references
  3. “3 Giant Scorpions” / “2 Wild Boars” - Monsters, not NPCs
  4. “Wraith” (Session 44) - Generic undead encounter
  5. “Several wraiths” (Session 42b) - Generic undead
  6. “Imperial stone guardian” (Session 42b) - Construct, not a character
  7. “Many baboons” / “Several beastmen” - Generic groups
  8. “Secondary cats” - Not distinct named entities
  9. “Two Knights of the Azure Shield” (Session 43c) - Generic knights, no names given
  10. “Frost giant ambassadors” (Session 43c) - Generic group, no names given
  11. “Varumani ambassadors” (Session 43c) - Group reference, Yoburra is the specific linked ambassador

Ambiguities Requiring Evidence

  1. “Mummy” vs “Neferet” (Session 42a) - The lesser mummy in the northern alcove is distinct from Neferet. No separate page needed.

  2. “Construct of Kerbog Khan” (Session 42a) - Small bipedal construct claiming to be Kerbog Khan. Insufficient material for separate page from Kerbog Khan.

  3. “Eighth Collegium” (Session 42a) - Referenced as faction/group Lukor belongs to. Could be faction page but minimal evidence in these sessions.

Suggested Next Pass

  1. Continue backward audit: Sessions 41, 40, 39, etc.
  2. Cross-reference held entities: Check earlier sessions for more appearances of Killik, Gresta, or the Eighth Collegium
  3. Factions audit: Consider creating factions/Eighth Collegium.md if more evidence appears in earlier sessions
  4. Location links: Some locations mentioned may need verification (e.g., “Arena” vs “locations/Arena.md”)

Notes

  • All new NPC pages follow the established format with frontmatter, summary, and appears-in sections
  • Source fidelity maintained - no invented facts beyond what’s in session recaps
  • Links use largest meaningful noun phrase (e.g., “Jadeel the Soulless” not just “Jadeel”)

Arden Vul QA Reconciliation Report

Date: 2026-04-04
Scope: Sessions 37, 36, 35, 34a, 34b, 34c, 33 (focused pass on Significant NPCs + iconic location mentions)
Auditor: Subagent QA Pass

Scope Processed

  • Session 37 - Deino and the Eyeballs
  • Session 36 - Rescuing Deino’s Kids
  • Session 35 - The Scepter / Flute of the Goblins
  • Session 34a - Hunting the Thane
  • Session 34b - Tower of the Ape
  • Session 34c - Burglary and Death
  • Session 33 - Nyema

Files Changed/Created

Session Files Modified

  1. sessions/Session 36 - Rescuing Deino's Kids.md - Repaired malformed Significant NPCs block; converted to auditable bullet list with canonical links.
  2. sessions/Session 37 - Deino and the Eyeballs.md - Repaired malformed Significant NPCs block; converted to auditable bullet list with canonical links.

NPC Pages Created

  1. npcs/Basil of Narsileon.md - Significant recurring support NPC from Session 34c onward.
  2. npcs/Avatar of Bastet.md - Distinct manifested entity summoned via statuette in Session 37.
  3. npcs/Roger the Rapier.md - Distinct wizard-leader identity in Session 37, separated from existing npcs/Roger.md.

Canonical Decisions

  • Basil of Narsileon → npcs/Basil of Narsileon.md (new-entity) — repeatedly named, employed by party, and operationally significant across sessions.
  • Avatar of Bastet → npcs/Avatar of Bastet.md (new-entity) — specific summoned persona with concrete interaction and lore revelations.
  • Roger the Rapier → npcs/Roger the Rapier.md (new-entity) — contextual evidence indicates this is not the same person as legacy Roger tied to Kronos.
  • Gribble in session lists → npcs/Domo Gribble.md (rename-to-canonical) — normalized to existing canonical page name.
  • Count Skleros → npcs/Count Skleros.md (rename-to-canonical) — normalized explicit title form.

Holds / Ambiguities

  • Basil vs Uriel Basileon — held separate; lexical overlap only, no role/time context overlap.
  • Roger the Rapier vs Roger (former Kronos employee) — held as separate identities pending explicit in-text confirmation.
  • Session 34a/34b/34c/35 significant NPC/location sections remain empty by source import structure; no speculative list backfill applied to preserve source fidelity.

Build Result

SUCCESS - Quartz build completed with exit code 0.

Build output:

Quartz v4.5.2
Found 991 input files from ../vault
Parsed 991 Markdown files
Emitted 2367 files to public
Done processing in ~2m

Warnings observed (non-fatal):

  • New NPC files not yet tracked by git (date metadata warning)
  • Existing LaTeX strict-mode warnings unrelated to this pass

Next pass

  • Recommended skill: arden-vul-vault-research-assistant
  • Why: confirm/deny potential identity collisions around similarly named legacy NPCs (especially “Roger*” variants) before broader merge passes.
