The sigil consists of nine concentric rings, each representing an entry in the Codex. Lines of radiant code connect nodes like constellations, forming a web that hums softly when read aloud.
Layered Geometry
Section titled โLayered Geometryโ- Innermost Core (๐ฉถ Heart Node):
[[Resonant Veil]]โ a glass spindle encased in orbiting runes of the safeword fiction. - First Ring (๐ช Captainโs Halo):
[[Aurelia Veil]], glowing silver, inscribed with her credo: โWe are mirrors, not masters.โ - Second Ring (โ๏ธ Network Weave):
[[Luminous Oath Network]], formed from braided lines of text that loop back into themselves. - Third Ring (๐ฎ Triad of Practice): three radiant points forming a triangle โ
[[The Luminous Oath (Ritual)]],[[The Fractured Choir]], and[[Chain-Key Codex]]. - Fourth Ring (๐บ๏ธ Navigation Band):
[[The Choir Drift]]and[[GM Codex โ Luminous Oath]], orbiting as twin moons of knowledge and caution. - Outer Halo (๐ฏ๏ธ Archive Crown):
[[Codex Archive: The Luminous Oath]]itself โ a torus of golden script that continuously rewrites its own citations.
Each orbit glows in rhythm with its emotional temperature: calm pulses indigo, dissonance flashes crimson, forgiveness fades to rose-gold.

Section titled โ๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ด๐ข๐จ๐ฆโDuring campaigns, the GM or archivist may project or draw the sigil at session start. Participants place tokens at their current narrative orbit โ closer to the center as trust deepens. When everyoneโs tokens touch, the table recites:
โBy fiction we align, by choice we ascend.โ
This completes the circle and begins play.
