Druids protect the living context represented by Lichen. Clerics support people facing vulnerability and loss. Monks cultivate attention to immediate effects and the discipline to act carefully. Bards make the work understandable. Rogues inspect hidden dependencies, Paladins enforce commitments, and Barbarians preserve the legitimacy of refusing a harmful arrangement. Warlocks negotiate resources without selling away those protections.
Liches can fund the work, Leeches retain agency and a meaningful voice, Lichen extends the circle of concern beyond humanity, and Likes make shared support visible without establishing a loyalty score. The aim is cooperation among many accountable institutions, not a requirement that all life submit to one founder, company, or imagined intelligence.
Giggles is the cheerful reminder that success should feel like better conditions for life, not a demand to celebrate permanent emergency. The fictional one-light-year protective boundary remains part of the cosmology in the mythology chapters; it is not an established physical barrier or an evidence-based rule limiting where future explorers may travel.
Open this exact section in the Necromancer dossier. The original chapter status is “Original mythology applied to the cooperative plan.”
