Relationships and the Family Tree
A Relationship is a typed link between two Entities: “sister of”, “sworn to”, “owes a debt to”. Where a Reference says these two are connected, a Relationship says how.
The Relationship Map
Section titled “The Relationship Map”Open Relationships from a Codex (or from inside a Manuscript) to see the graph: Entities as nodes, Relationships as labelled edges. Click through to any Entity; add, edit, or remove Relationships from either end.
The map earns its keep as the cast grows — loyalties, rivalries, and chains of obligation are graph problems, and reading them as a graph beats reading them as forty character files.
The Family Tree
Section titled “The Family Tree”Family relationships get their own view: a genealogy layout with marriages, children, and the connecting lines you’d draw on paper. Build it from the same Relationship data — parentage and marriage are just typed Relationships — and the tree assembles itself.
Dynasties, inheritance plots, and “wait, are they cousins?” all live here.
On disk
Section titled “On disk”Relationships are records in the Codex, stored as plain files like everything else. No database; delete the app and the connections are still readable.
