Overview
This subdirectory contains the earliest species baselines and first major civilizational foundings on Caeldon.
Use it for the point where long planetary differentiation turns into recognizable species continuity, and then into the first named heartland and founding sequences for those peoples. This layer should establish stabilized baselines and first durable orders, not every later branch, lifeway, or vanished historical form.
Later branch histories, secondary formations, and absorbed or hardened successor orders usually belong in Overview: Divergences and Secondary Formations, unless the branch is inseparable from a species' first stabilization or first founding.
