- N1: wiki/factions/lattice-commission.md:144 — refresh footer Updated: timestamp to 2026-04-22. Round-1 fix touched the frontmatter but missed the footer block; both fields now agree. - N2: wiki/factions/index.md — rewrite the Local Factions cross-ref to describe the-ring.md as it actually is on the branch: a canonical named faction (faction_type: criminal, status: canonical) documenting an informal contraband network at district scale, preserved as the one maintained worked example for corridor authors. Previous prose mischaracterized the file as an "archetype doc," which it is not. lattice-commission.md has no direct link to the-ring.md, so no change needed there — the only corridor-wide phrasing left is "informal contraband networks" in the Faction Relationships table, which is a generic structural observation about smuggling as a Commission enforcement target, not a cross-ref to the-ring.md.

Factions
Political and institutional factions operating across the Settled Reach.
Major Factions
| Faction | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Concord Assembly | Government | Reach-wide representative body, seated at Sirius |
| Lattice Commission | Regulatory body | Neural lattice regulation, transit/information oversight, HQ at ACB |
| Veil Institute | Research institution | Alien horizon gate research, dominant at Gateway |
| Syndics | Commercial combines | Supply chain operators — agriculture, manufacturing, finance |
| Guardians of Autonomy | Political movement | Counter-surveillance, anti-institutional concentration |
| The Unbound | Cultural movement | Anti-lattice, voluntary disconnection |
Regional Factions
| Faction | Scope | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Compact of Westphalia | West_reach (hops 6-16) | Mutual recognition treaty; coordinated non-compliance with Assembly authority |
Local Factions
| Faction | Scope | Role |
|---|---|---|
| The Ring | District-level | Informal contraband network operating inside a freight logistics district — structure, cargo, community role documented as a canonical worked example for corridor authors |
Local factions emerge from specific district conditions and are authored on demand. The Ring above is the one canonical worked example currently maintained; additional district-scale informal networks will be added as new corridor content is written.
