| Aldric Lumenbrook historical || Robert approved on 2026-10-09. Aldric Lumenbrook NPC0114 is historical and deceased, like historical Lyra Lumenbrook NPC0505, and keeps the merchant role he had while alive. He died in year 5 of the Brotherhood research, of hydrogen sulfide in the DZ073 thermal vent chamber. Faeron Voidwatch NPC0119 runs his stall at the Bramble Canyon Maze (B017 Bramblecoil Wastes), and the stall keeps Aldric's name. The stall's trade lines are Faeron's. Aldric's personal lines are stall records, found at T3+ reputation with Faeron, and the Aldric questline unlocks from them.

Pending decisions

No decision is open. The last three were decided by Robert on 2026-10-09, and every pending-decision line has been removed from the wiki.

Decided

Item Decision Where it is recorded
Aldric Lumenbrook historical Robert approved on 2026-10-09. Aldric Lumenbrook NPC0114 is historical and deceased, like historical Lyra Lumenbrook NPC0505, and keeps the merchant role he had while alive. He died in year 5 of the Brotherhood research, of hydrogen sulfide in the DZ073 thermal vent chamber. Faeron Voidwatch NPC0119 runs his stall at the Bramble Canyon Maze (B017 Bramblecoil Wastes), and the stall keeps Aldric's name. The stall's trade lines are Faeron's. Aldric's personal lines are stall records, found at T3+ reputation with Faeron, and the Aldric questline unlocks from them. NPC rows stay 777 and the NPC measure stays 49.96% Holy. Aldric Lumenbrook, Faeron Voidwatch, B017 Bramblecoil Wastes, Bramble Canyon Maze, NPC Master List/B011-B020. LIVE/DATA/ABERNON_NPC_Master_Alphabetical.csv NPC0114 and NPC0119; LIVE/NARRATIVE/aldric_lumenbrook_questline.json; LIVE/CONFIG/npc_dialogue_expansions.json.
Evil nine records Robert approved Evil-nine Option 1 on 2026-10-09. The nine who left from Prism Fissures are historical Lyra Lumenbrook NPC0505 and the eight Evil founders: Morvaine Gloomreach, Hira Xenstone, Quillon Quarrystone, Xaris Jadestone, Juno Emberfall, Jora Obsidianwatch, Rhea Hollowbane and Gorath Voidwatch. They are named in Ashan Mirewood's departure records, the Prism Fissures echo-imprints, and the member lists of Q956, Q980 and Q987. Records only: no NPCs, kinship or new story were added. Departure numbers and times other than Lyra's (009, 09:14) are not recorded. F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood; the quest pages for Q956, Q980 and Q987. LIVE/DATA/alignment_system.json (the_brotherhood_split.evil_9); Members_Record column in the quest tables; OPS/working/proposals/2026-10-09_npc-balance_b007_evil9.md.
B007 quest sides Robert approved B007 Option A on 2026-10-09. All 64 B007 Prism Fissures quests are Evil: Q0056 Crack Survey, Q0057 Shard from the Deep Cut, Q0058 Slack-Pool under the Fault and Q0060 Riftstalker Season moved from Holy to Evil. To keep 554 Holy and 554 Evil, Q0451 The Celestial Toll — Celestial Gardens, Q0455 Garden Crystal for the Skyreach Covenant, Q0459 Skyreach Covenant on the Celestial Line and Q0891 Frosthold Vigil on the Obsidian Line moved from Evil to Holy. Q0700 stays the player's choice. No quest text changed. The Side row on the 8 quest pages. Side column in LIVE/DATA/ABERNON_Quest_Master.csv and DT_Quests.csv; OPS/working/proposals/2026-10-09_npc-balance_b007_evil9.md.
NPC Holy/Evil weighting Robert approved NPC Option 1 on 2026-10-09. In the NPC Holy/Evil count only, members of the Ashen League and the Cinderwarden count 1 Holy : 3 Evil, because the Evil line is dominant, and Yolande Ashveil counts once. Result: 340.75 Holy and 341.25 Evil of 682 NPCs, 49.96% Holy (was 52.93%). Biomes and land keep their method. No NPC changed. OPS/working/scripts/balance/bal.py; OPS/HANDOFF_2026-10-09.md; OPS/working/proposals/2026-10-09_npc-balance_b007_evil9.md.
Final choice quest and quest sides Robert picked Q0700 What the Gleamsunder Vault Hums (B078 Gleamsunder Mire, giver Dravin Ashveil NPC0543) as the final choice quest on 2026-10-09. Its Side is player's choice and it is outside the count. The other 1,108 quests are 554 Holy and 554 Evil. Only quests whose giver is in the Ashen League, the Riftwalker Brotherhood or the Cinderwarden were assigned a side; no giver or story changed.

The Ironveil Compact and the Marrowheat Dominion each have two Evil founders; the Ashen League and the Cinderwarden each have one Holy and one Evil founder. Starting control was rebalanced so each founder's line holds between 4.5% and 8.5% of the land outside the Brotherhood's five biomes.
