Fragments of Samaryn
Fragments of Samaryn is an archive.
Not a chronicle.
Not a linear history.
Not a reliable narrator.
It is a curated record of reports, letters, depositions, merchant accounts, ratifications, battlefield memoranda, private reflections, and state documents drawn from across the Codified Era — and from the years before it.
Some fragments are imperial.
Some are highland.
Some were never meant to survive.
Together, they form the slow architecture of a civilization.
What This Publication Is
Fragments of Samaryn serves as the documentary backbone of the Samaryn Saga — a three-part epic exploring:
The expansion of a meritocratic empire
The resistance of lineage-bound highland clans
The politics of time, memory, and erasure
The cost of peace
Events are not published in chronological order.
Power rarely unfolds that cleanly.
Some fragments will predate others.
Some will contradict earlier accounts.
Some will quietly revise what you thought you understood.
The reader is not merely consuming a story.
The reader is assembling one.

Why Fragments?
History is not remembered whole.
It survives in pieces.
This publication preserves those pieces — deliberately, selectively, and with awareness that curation itself is power.
Deliberations in Assembly
At intervals, the Imperial Assembly convenes.
Readers are invited to assume the role of seated council members within the structures of Samaryn’s merit-based governance — to deliberate on matters placed before an Economic or Military Council, a ministerial body, or strategic office.
These deliberations concern in-world policy questions:
River management.
Territorial integration.
Trade oversight.
Administrative reform.
Security priorities.
Military Doctrines.
Votes are recorded.
In time, the evolving record will reveal whether the Council’s disposition aligned with events — or whether authority proceeded otherwise.
Participation does not alter the architecture of the saga.
It illuminates how the Empire might govern.
Highland councils remain closed.
Their authority derives from heredity, oath, and bloodline — not appointment or merit — and are therefore not subject to open deliberation within this publication.
Here, readers enter the Empire.
