The first founder, the practical leader of Athera, and the man who accepted a crown as a burden rather than a prize.

Arcadia in the recovered texts is Athera. The old name is modernized, while every event, title, power, and disappearance is reviewed on its own evidence.
Protected founding history and the foundation of Book I.
Keep the Riftwake, Calm Tide, and Armada; use Riftstalker and the current arrival account.
Strongly aligned with her accepted role as rescuer, adviser, horsekeeper, and Stone Sentinel.
Keep Trey’s hermitage, herbs, cooking, and blade. Review Bug and the blade’s exact forging.
Keep his warrior and smith legacy; reject the claim that his Nether sacrifice ended his story.
Potential shared battle history, but the chronology and participants require approval.
Conflicts with protected founder history. Preserve only as an old retelling, not the factual account.
Preserve the engineer-to-scribe path. The pufferfish incident requires explicit approval.
Preserve the identity and surviving creations; treat metaphysical redstone claims as legend.
Preserve the master builder and Port of Avagadro. Do not invent her current fate.
Preserve the Dark Prince title and absence since the Fall; treat the twenty Withers as legend.
Preserve builder, mage, explorer, and return after the Fall; old administrative powers are historical at most.
A useful location whose ownership and relationship to Stillroot need a final canon pass.
Excellent relic story; exact materials, powers, and Warden pact remain proposed.
Keep the craft philosophy; Arcadium ore and the wyrm test need modern materials and chronology.
Hold for a decision on SyberGoth, Hazardous SMP, and the old Council’s Hand role.
Likely useful community history after names, realms, and timing are checked.
The person and loyalty may be historical; parallel Atheras and the Riftgate are not established.
Vault, Magic Reads, mentorship, and disappearance need direct confirmation.
The alchemist may be historical; Wither chronology and magical artifacts remain unverified.
Excluded completely. The character, banners, wars, and claimed continuity will not be reassigned.
