# Lore Engine POC — Time-Aware Query Slice
A working slice of the [Lore Engine](../lore-engine/docs/) on top of
[Cognee](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee). The slice proves the
load-bearing primitives end-to-end: typed ontology ingest, time-bounded
edges, the `was_true_at` query, and source attribution.
The seed data is a real D&D campaign codex (Mardonar / Voldramir) with
159 entities — NPCs, locations, regions, factions, lore entries. It
lives in `lore_engine_poc/seed/`.
## What's in the slice
1. **Codex parser** (`lore_engine_poc/parsers.py`) — walks the
Obsidian-style markdown under `seed/`, reads YAML frontmatter
(entity type, faction, region), pulls `[[wiki links]]` from the
body, and emits typed `(subject, relation, object)` triples.
2. **Time model** (`lore_engine_poc/time_model.py`) — Python port of
the `time_in_window(at, valid_from, valid_until)` UDF from
`docs/02-time-model.md`. 13/13 self-tests pass. Era-tree
membership (`3rd_age` matches `3rd_age.year_345`), the `current`
token, and open-ended bounds are all handled.
3. **One read tool** (`lore_engine_poc/tools.py`) —
`was_true_at(relation, subject, object, at_time)`. Returns
`was_true`, `valid_from`, `valid_until`, `sources`, `confidence`.
4. **Cognee integration** (in `scripts/01_ingest.py`) — best-effort
call to `cognee.add()` + `cognee.cognify()` over every markdown
file. Skipped automatically when no LLM API key is configured;
the slice is fully functional without it because the structured
path is exact.
## What's NOT in the slice
The 44 other MCP tools, the consistency engine, the TypeTemplate
polymorphic extension, the plane model, the MCP server wiring. All
deferred to follow-up slices per the design.
## Run
```bash
# 1. Install Cognee (one-time)
pip3 install --user cognee
# 2. Build the in-memory graph from the codex
python3 scripts/01_ingest.py # try Cognee (fails fast w/o LLM key)
python3 scripts/01_ingest.py --skip-cognee # structured path only
# 3. Run the demo
python3 scripts/02_demo.py
# -> 7 sample queries, e.g.
# was_true_at(MEMBER_OF, "Roland Raventhorne", "House Raventhorne", "3rd_age.year_345")
# was_true_at(SIBLING_OF, "Roland Raventhorne", "Aldric Raventhorne", "3rd_age.year_345")
# was_true_at(PART_OF, "Voldramir", "Underdark", "3rd_age.year_345")
# 4. Run a one-off query
python3 scripts/02_demo.py \
--query "MEMBER_OF,Elysia Petalbrooke,Petalbrooke Enclave,3rd_age.year_345"
# 5. Reset (wipe the graph cache and the Cognee dataset)
python3 scripts/03_reset.py
```
## Demo output (excerpt)
```text
Query: SIBLING_OF,Roland Raventhorne,Aldric Raventhorne,3rd_age.year_345
{
"was_true": true,
"relation": "SIBLING_OF",
"subject": "Roland Raventhorne",
"object": "Aldric Raventhorne",
"at_time": "3rd_age.year_345",
"valid_from": null,
"valid_until": null,
"sources": [".../Roland Raventhorne.md"],
"confidence": 1.0,
"edges_examined": 2
}
```
## The codex
The seed is a 168-file D&D campaign codex. The richest content is in
the NPC backstories; the faction and location files are mostly stubs.
The parser handles both — stubs produce no edges, and the demo's
"negative" queries exercise that case.
The structured path extracted **81 typed triples** from the codex:
| Relation | Count |
|---------------|------:|
| `LOCATED_IN` | 34 |
| `MEMBER_OF` | 27 |
| `SIBLING_OF` | 12 |
| `ENEMY_OF` | 4 |
| `ALLIED_WITH` | 3 |
| `PART_OF` | 1 |
`SIBLING_OF` and `PART_OF` are inferred from body-text wikilinks
(spouse/parent/sibling heuristic for sibling edges; a low-confidence
`PART_OF` is generated when a region body mentions another region
without a frontmatter field).
## Why this proves the design
- The **structured YAML path** (extended to markdown) is exact: every
edge traces to a specific source file with confidence 1.0.
- The **time model** is a working port of the spec, with self-tests.
- **One Lore Engine tool** is implementable in ~80 lines of Python
on top of an in-memory graph. The Cognee integration is a
parallel path that materialises the same triples into Cognee's
graph DB; once an LLM is configured, the prose path lights up
alongside it.
- The **time filter** actually works — the `time_in_window` test
suite passes 13/13 cases (era-tree, current, open bounds, sub-era).
## Limitations
- All extracted edges have `valid_from = valid_until = null` because
the codex doesn't have temporal metadata on relationships. A
richer codex (or a `family_tree.yaml` style structured input) would
carry time bounds per edge.
- The sibling/parent/spouse heuristic is naive; it confuses
"mentioned in the same paragraph" with "actually related". The
full design uses a `family_tree.yaml` for lineage — always
structured, never inferred.
- Cognee's `cognify()` requires an LLM API key (OpenAI or
OpenAI-compatible). The slice runs without one.
## Next slices (per `docs/09-roadmap.md`)
- **Slice 2** — extend the parser to handle `family_tree.yaml` and
`timeline.yaml` (or a `+` syntax in the codex for time bounds).
- **Slice 3** — add the consistency engine (Contradiction,
Anachronism, Orphan) on top of the typed graph.
- **Slice 4** — wire the remaining 44 tools on the same Graph
primitive used here.

## MERV
The god of Merv is a manifestion of the Kings will.
Merv provides the food which fuels the City of Mardonar.
Merv provides the water which runs in its river.
Merv is benevolent, but also demanding.
Those who do not adhere to the commandments of Merv, are not fit to live within the cities walls.
### Uprising of Merv
After [[House Mardonus]] took control of the realm, High priests of the house were given a vision. In said vision, the King was given the crown of Mervaestor. A shining golden symbol of wealth and bounty. This crown manifested upon the Kings head at the turn of a short Famine. When the city needed it most, the God had provided, but under one requirement. Believing in Merv means strict obedience to its will.
### The will of Merv
The Will of Merv is manifested through the mind of the Mervaestor. They who dawn the crown are understood to represent its will.

He stole [[The Eternal Tear]] power stone by having his dragon fly it high into the sky, dropping it onto [[The Obsidian Tower]], which was magically charged to create Force Magic. Using this power, Ananmock controls the Elves in the Emberloc Jungle. Two fragments of the stone remain scattered, and [[Lyrael Moonwhisper]] is the only one who can sense its power.

## Description
Bhaal is a god of death, violence, and assassination. His symbol is a white skull, often described as a desiccated face, surrounded by a counter-clockwise circle of blood droplets. This symbol is associated with the Dead Three and represents his portfolio of death, violence, and assassination.
## Doctrine
Followers believe that murder is both a duty to their god and a game for their enjoyment. Each cleric of Bhaal is expected to perform at least one murder every tenday, in the darkest moment in the dead of night.
## Followers
Known as the Deathdealers, followers of Bhaal are devoted to spreading death and violence in their god's name.

*After tremors in the mountains east of the Outcast, an obsidian mine has collapsed, displacing a tribe of cylcops
---
## Description
A sudden landslide from the mountains outside The Outlaws city causes an Obsidian mine to collapse. This displaces the Cyclops and also creates an obsidian deficit.
## Significance
Due to this collapse, not only is there a deficit in obsidian for the outcast, but certain Cyclops tribes have been displaced, now coming closer to the city.
## Aftermath
The outcast face more fights with Cyclops groups

*One-eyed humanoids of immense strength.*
---
## Description
One-eyed humanoids of immense strength—strong as 100 men. Live in nomadic tribes of 8–12 members. Savage brigands, forced to separate due to sparse resources. They prefer man flesh as food.
## Culture
Nomadic. The primary goal of all [[Cyclops]] tribes is to unite under one banner, though they remain divided by tribal rivalry and resource scarcity.
## Relations
- Constantly fighting with [[The Outcast]]
- [[Tarlok]] commonly leads groups to attack Cyclops Tribes in the mountains

*Stoic, industrious, and as enduring as the mountains they inhabit, dwarves are the master smiths and stone-carvers of the fantasy realm. They are defined by a deep-rooted respect for tradition, a fierce loyalty to kin, and a legendary stubbornness that can outlast the erosion of time itself.*
---
## Description
Dwarves are stout, sturdy humanoids, typically standing between **4 and 5 feet tall**, though their broad frames often make them weigh as much as a human a foot taller. They are the physical embodiment of the earth: dense, strong, and resilient.
- **Physicality:** Most dwarves possess skin tones that mimic the earth—deep browns, granite grays, or sun-touched tans. Their hair and beards are their pride, often braided with gold rings or gems to denote status.
- **The Beard:** For a dwarf, a beard is more than facial hair; it is a biography. A long, well-groomed beard signifies age, wisdom, and honor. Shaving a dwarf’s beard is considered one of the gravest insults imaginable.
- **Lifespan:** Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans but are considered young until they reach **age 50**. They can live to be over **350 years old**, giving them a long-term perspective on history and grudges alike.
## Culture
Dwarf culture is built upon three unbreakable pillars: **Clan, Craft, and Continuity.**
- **Clan Loyalty:** A dwarf’s identity is inseparable from their lineage. To be "Clanless" is a fate worse than death. Every action a dwarf takes is weighed against how it reflects on their ancestors and how it will be remembered by their descendants.
- **The Art of the Forge:** To a dwarf, labor is a form of worship. Whether they are mining ore, forging a blade, or masonry, they strive for perfection. They despise "shoddy work" and believe that an object should be built to last a thousand years.
- **The Great Grudge:** Dwarves have notoriously long memories. If a slight is committed against a dwarf or their clan, it is often recorded in a literal "Book of Grudges." These debts of honor are passed down through generations until they are settled—usually through gold or blood.
- **Subterranean Living:** Most dwarven kingdoms are architectural marvels carved directly into the roots of mountains. These citadels are designed for defense, filled with massive Great Halls, glowing magma-forges, and sprawling treasure vaults.

*Ethereal, graceful, and deeply attuned to the natural world, elves are a people of ancient magic and refined elegance. While dwarves look to the bones of the earth, elves look to the stars and the whispering leaves, living lives that span centuries in pursuit of artistic and magical mastery.*
---
## Description
Elves are slender, elegant humanoids who appear hauntingly beautiful to other races. They stand roughly the same height as humans—ranging from **under 5 feet to over 6 feet tall**—but are significantly lighter, moving with a fluid grace that makes them seem almost weightless.
- **Physicality:** Elves generally lack facial and body hair, favoring smooth features and pointed ears that range from subtle nips to long, sweeping curves. Their coloration varies wildly by subrace: Wood Elves favor copper and forest-green tones, while High Elves often have pale skin and hair like spun silver or gold.
- **The Eyes:** Elven eyes are often large and luminous, appearing like liquid pools of emerald, violet, or amber.
- **The Trance:** Elves do not sleep in the traditional sense. Instead, they enter a meditative state known as a **Trance** for **4 hours a day**. During this time, they remain semi-conscious, mentally rehearsing memories and lessons learned over their long lives.
- **Lifespan:** An elf can live to be over **700 years old**. Because of this, they view time with a detached patience that shorter-lived races often mistake for arrogance or coldness.
## Culture
Elven culture is defined by **Artistry, Longevity, and a Deep Connection to Magic.**
- **The Long View:** Because they live so long, elves rarely hurry. They take decades to master a single craft or poem. To an elf, a task worth doing is worth doing with absolute perfection and aesthetic beauty.
- **Harmony with Nature:** Whether living in shimmering spires of marble or hidden tree-cities, elves strive to live *with* the land rather than conquering it. Their architecture often incorporates living trees and natural light.
- **Magic as Breath:** To many elves, magic is not just a tool; it is a fundamental part of the world, like the wind or the rain. Even their mundane items are often imbued with subtle enchantments or extraordinary craftsmanship.
- **Individualism:** While dwarves are defined by the Clan, elves value personal expression and freedom. They are often chaotic in nature, preferring the guidance of social "tradition" and intuition over rigid laws and heavy-handed governance.

*Unpredictable, enchanting, and exceedingly dangerous, the fey are beings of raw magic and pure emotion native to the Feywild. They are the embodiment of nature's duality: as breathtakingly beautiful as a vibrant spring morning and as terrifyingly ruthless as a sudden winter storm.*
---
## Description
Unlike dwarves or elves, the fey are not a single humanoid race, but rather a vast classification of creatures ranging from tiny, fluttering pixies and sprites to towering treants, goat-legged satyrs, and god-like Archfey.
- **Physicality:** The appearance of the fey is wildly diverse, but they universally possess features that echo the natural world. This can include bark-like skin, hair made of autumn leaves, insectoid wings, or animalistic traits like antlers, hooves, and feline eyes.
- **Otherworldly Glamour:** Many fey are supernaturally beautiful, possessing an ethereal "glamour" that can captivate mortal minds. Even the hideous fey, like hags, possess a magnetic, terrible majesty that commands awe.
- **Timelessness:** Time is a fluid concept to the fey. Most do not age as mortals do; they are sustained by the ambient magic of the Feywild. A fey creature might look like a young child but possess memories stretching back millennia.
## Culture
Fey culture is bewildering to mortals, built on bizarre ancient laws, literal interpretations of language, and extremes of emotion.
- **The Courts:** Many fey align themselves with the ancient courts of the Feywild. The **Seelie Court** (often associated with the Summer Queen) represents vibrant life, passion, and unpredictable beauty. The **Unseelie Court** (associated with the Queen of Air and Darkness) represents winter, sorrow, shadows, and cruel pragmatism. Both are equally dangerous to mortals.
- **The Power of Words:** To the fey, words are binding contracts. A mortal must never offer a fey a casual favor or answer the question, *"May I have your name?"*—lest they find their actual name stolen from them. They cannot lie, but they are masters of deceit through omission, wordplay, and half-truths.
- **Alien Morality:** Traditional concepts of "Good" and "Evil" hold little weight in the Feywild. Fey are driven by aesthetic, boredom, vengeance, and whim. A fey might drown a mortal simply because the bubbles looked pretty, or grant a peasant unimaginable wealth because they liked the melody of their sneeze.
- **Deals and Bargains:** The fey love to trade, but they rarely trade in gold. They barter in memories, emotions, shadows, the color of one's eyes, or a mortal's firstborn child. A deal struck with a fey is a binding magical pact.

*Ambitious, diverse, and remarkably adaptable, humans are the short-lived spark that sets the world on fire. While other races look to the ancient past, humans are defined by their drive to build legacies that will outlast their brief lifespans. They are the great innovators, conquerors, and diplomats of the realm, filling the world with sprawling kingdoms and ever-changing borders.*
---
## Description
Humans are the most physically diverse of the common races, with a staggering variety of heights, skin tones, and features. They lack the inherent magical resilience of elves or the subterranean toughness of dwarves, yet their versatility allows them to thrive in every corner of the world.
- **Physicality:** Standing generally between **5 and 6 feet tall**, humans have no "standard" appearance. Their skin ranges from deep umber to very pale, and their hair spans the spectrum from jet black to flaxen blonde.
- **The Drive:** Because they live only **70 to 100 years**, humans possess a sense of urgency that other races find exhausting. They are prone to taking risks and pushing boundaries in pursuit of power, knowledge, or glory.
- **Adaptability:** Humans are the ultimate generalists. Where an elf spends a century mastering a single blade-style, a human will learn five different weapons and a trade in a decade, fueled by the knowledge that their time is fleeting.
## Culture
Human culture is a patchwork of customs, but in this realm, it is steered by the gravity of the Great Houses—lineages that define the political and magical landscape.
- **House Mardonus:** The masters of iron-fisted governance and tactical brilliance. They believe in order at any cost. Their greatest secret and greatest shame is the **captured dragon** they keep deep within their strongholds. Despite their strategic genius, they have yet to unlock the secret of dragon-riding, leaving them with a literal god of war that remains an untameable, caged beast.
- **House Quche:** The heart of human spirit. Reminiscent of the great storm-lords of old, they are defined by **honor, bravery, and daring behaviors**. They are loud, boisterous, and often the first to charge into a fray. To a Quche, a life lived safely is a life wasted; they seek the "thundering moment" where glory is won or lost.
- **House Raventhorn:** A house built upon **cult magic and high-level wizardry**. They are obsessed with the accumulation of raw power, often delving into forbidden arts. Rumors persist of **vampiric ideologies** within their inner circle—whispers that the Raventhorn lords have found ways to extend their short human lifespans by "borrowing" the vitality of others.
- **The Veiled House (The Unknown):** The original rulers of the realm, now reduced to ghosts and shadows. Once a house of peerless magical might, they were **destroyed by internal infighting** and civil war. Their descendants still walk the world, possessing **inert magical skills**—great power that has gone dormant and must be "unlocked" through ancient rituals or extreme trials.

*Fierce, resilient, and driven by a primal intensity, orcs are a people of action and unyielding strength. While other races might debate or plan for decades, orcs live for the immediate—the hunt, the battle, and the survival of the pack. They are often misunderstood as mere engines of destruction, but their society is rooted in a deep, spiritual connection to the raw power of the world.*
---
## Description
Orcs are imposing, muscular humanoids that radiate physical power. They typically stand between **6 and 7 feet tall**, with broad shoulders and a heavy-set frame that makes them significantly more durable than humans.
- **Physicality:** Their skin tones range from earthy greens and grayish-blues to deep tans. They possess prominent lower canines (tusks) that they often decorate with carvings or metal bands. Their eyes are frequently a piercing red or yellow, glowing with an inner fire when they are angered.
- **Scarification:** To an orc, a scar is a badge of honor—a physical record of a challenge overcome. They often intentionally mark their skin to commemorate great victories or to signal their rank within a warband.
- **Lifespan:** Orcs mature quickly, reaching adulthood by **age 12**. While they can live up to **80 years**, their dangerous lifestyles mean few see old age. They value a "warrior's death" over a quiet passing.
## Culture
Orc culture is a meritocracy built on **Strength, Survival, and Spiritual Vigor.**
- **The Rule of Might:** Leadership is rarely inherited; it is taken. An orc chieftain stays in power only as long as they are strong enough to defend their title. However, "strength" isn't just physical—it includes the tactical cunning to lead a raid and the spiritual will to command respect.
- **Primal Shamanism:** Orcs believe the world is alive with spirits—the spirit of the wolf, the storm, and the mountain. Their shamans act as intermediaries, channeling the "Waaagh!" (or similar primal energy) to bolster their warriors. They don't worship gods so much as they respect the forces of nature.
- **Nomadic Heritage:** Many orc tribes are nomadic, following the migration of great beasts or the changing of seasons. They favor mobility, living in fortified encampments or "roving citadels" that can be packed up and moved at a moment's notice.
- **The Blood Bond:** While they are fierce competitors, the bond between "battle-brothers" is sacred. To betray one’s pack is to be cast out into the wilds, a fate considered worse than a violent death.

Roland's ascension to darker power through the Obsidian Mask and The Blackrazor.
---
## Description
Some time after [[Roland Raventhorne]] worked with adventurers in the [[Cities of the Emberloc]], he found himself deep within [[Krythos Spire]]. For three days, he sat nestled in a turret while The Blackrazor sword urged him to claim souls. Roland bided his time, planning to reach Castle Raventhorne via a [[Mawfang]] shipment.
On the third night, the sword began screaming as a dark void grew around him. Roland stood calmly, admiring the darkness. When the blade began to scream about an ancient power, Roland realized his stolen Stone Mask—the one that gave him vampiric powers—was transforming. The mask turned from stone to obsidian, bearing the mark of Bhaal. The souls trapped within The Blackrazor were drawn into the mask, and Roland's eyes turned to voids as the obsidian fused with his flesh. When he awoke, he found himself in a shadow plane with no visible shadow of his own, and The Blackrazor now reformed at his will.
## Significance
[[Roland Raventhorne]] surmounted the power of The Blackrazor through the hidden ancient powers bestowed to him by [[The Black Sun Order]]. His mask protected him from the sword's power but at the cost of a binding pact with Bhaal, the God of Murder.

*Black market artificers—where coin and machinery speak louder than morality.*
---
![[CCC-Portrait_42ea2bf9.webp]]
## Description
The Cog Claw Consortium is a black market operation supplying complex machinery and equipment across the realm. Composed primarily of Goblins, Gnomes, [[Ratlings]], and [[Gepettin]], they are skilled engineers capable of crafting intricate devices without magical means—their artificery rivals those of trained mages through pure ingenuity and raw intellect.
They maintain secret operations in virtually every city, working from hidden outposts, basements, tunnels, and sewers. The Consortium is notoriously pragmatic, willing to work with any faction so long as the coin is good and the questions few.
## Structure
At its core, the Consortium operates as loan sharks and merchants. Leadership maintains a network of highly trained assassins and enforcers tasked with retrieving assets from failed deals and ensuring debts are honored. Their hierarchy mirrors their work: practical, efficient, and unforgiving.
**Notable Products:**
- Automated guards and mechanical sentries
- Specialized machinery for industrial or military applications
- Stealth zeppelins and aerial transports
## Mission
The Consortium's primary mission is profit and expansion of their market reach. They actively seek new clients, unexplored regions, and rare materials to fuel their manufacturing operations. While ostensibly mercenary, they have begun cultivating relationships with major powers to secure long-term contracts and stability.
`"You don't go to the big cog for safety... you go because nowhere else will even try what they do."`
## Relations
### Allies
- [[Iron Mountain Trading Company]] — A major client with substantial wealth and appetite for their specialized equipment and innovations.
### Rivals
- [[The Mawfang Tribes]] — Ideological enemies who despise the Consortium's arcane machinery and actively hunt their predominantly small-bodied members for torture and enslavement.
## GM Notes
The Consortium's assassins are far more sophisticated than their public facade suggests, serving as information brokers and operatives for powerful interests beyond simple debt collection.

## Description
A race of cultist dwarves, who worship power stones. These stones are derived from captured [[Elf]] power stones, tainted with dark magic. These stones are used as arcane conduits for the dwarves, allowing impressive power, but limiting them to staying within range of the stones.
- Many of the dwarves are hundreds or thousands of years old, they would die without the magic
- The dwarves are allowed further range during the power cycle, every 10000 years, where the power is amplified due to unknown reasons.
- In this case, the range is enough for the dwarves to exit the underdark, and they take part in reeking havoc on other races

## GM Notes
- Home of [[Slyvar Forger]], an original Moonwhisper Elf born there
- After the explosion in the Emberloc, chunks of earth destroyed parts of the castle
- The impact damaged the magic tracking the location of 2 Masks of Power — one of these is [[Roland]]'s
- Due to the impact damage, the location of 2 Masks of Power is now unknown
