Pending decisions

These three decisions are open. Each section lists the wiki pages, repo files and fields that will change once the decision is made. Pages that hold such content end with a line pointing here. Items that were already decided are listed at the end.

Names of the 16 faction founders

Data: faction civilization table and faction master table, roots note on each faction.

Vex Bleakwood kinship

Is Vex Bleakwood NPC0021 kin of Brynja Bleakwood NPC0001? This is the one surname call from the 2026-10-04 answers that stays open (OT03). Pages that change:
