| Fact ID | Knowable statement | Epistemic status | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fact-creek-parley-saltmere-view | Evi, an elder, and a companion reached the southern bank of the northern creek and hailed the boatbuilders across the water in broad daylight with open hands. Keelstrand received the hail with prepared numbers and calm composure; the seasonal gift basket of pressed salt, smoked fish, and reed goods was transferred across the water. Both parties affirmed peaceful intentions and agreed that Marker Beach will serve as a neutral ground for seasonal barter, returning home without crossing the creek. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-marker-beach-barter-saltmere-view | During a clear late-winter thaw, Evi and a scout met Keelstrand's trade party at Marker Beach under open daylight. Across the neutral gravel, Saltmere exchanged four prime pressed salt cakes, woven sleeping mats, and storage hampers for finely carved hardwood bowls, salt scoops, sturdy tool handles, sweep oars, and dry casks. Both parties preserved settlement privacy and withdrew safely before dusk. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-marker-beach-saltmere-view | Evi and a four-person embassy walked the shingle track to Marker Beach on the first clear morning of the month, carrying pressed salt cakes and woven reed mats. Lighting a clear signal smudge on the open shingle, they waited in plain view. When no Keelstrand party appeared before afternoon, the delegation repacked their trade goods courteously in accordance with strict stop rules and returned safely to Saltmere before dusk without crossing the creek. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-northern-recon-saltmere-view | On the first clear morning of midwinter, Evi and a companion traveled light along the shingle track under cover of the southern creek dunes. From concealed vantage, they observed Keelstrand across the water: boats securely hauled on high terrace skids, dwellings smoking warmly with steady fires, and no signs of distress or hostility. In accordance with strict orders, the scouts ignited no signals, did not attempt to cross the creek ice, and returned safely to Saltmere before dusk. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-saltmere-bank-and-pan-winterization | Fen's crew dressed the western pan bank with a thick revetment of dry reed bundles and heavy turf flaps to shield the clay core from frost heave. Full boiling was suspended to conserve firewood, concentrated brine was barreled in covered clay vats, boiling pans were greased with fish oil, and a thatched timber canopy was erected over the springhead. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-bank-reinforcement | Fen and the leader inspected the western pan bank at low water, discovering small seepage channels through the lower earth. Fen's crew packed and reinforced the bank with dense clay from the rise and turf sods, stabilizing the foundation before any boiling resumes. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-creek-reconnaissance | Evi and a companion reached the southern bank of the northern creek under cover of dunes. They observed an active boat yard on the opposite bank with timber sleds, an overhauled fishing craft, and permanent thatched dwellings, confirming a substantial neighboring settlement before withdrawing unseen. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-saltmere-drainage-and-fleet-refit | Fen's drainage crews cleared ice dams and deepened perimeter ditches, safely channeling hillside snowmelt away from the brine flats. Inspection of the western pan bank confirmed the clay revetment held through the freeze with only minor surface packing needed. Raised skiffs were recaulked with pitch and reed fiber on their rollers, nets and creels were fully refurbished, and test burning proved the clay-hollow laths are dry and ready for spring salt boiling. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-fuel-and-stores-discipline | Fresh willow and alder billets were split into thin laths and stacked under the drained hollow shelter, accelerating seasoning. Inshore fishing continued in calm windows, drying racks were sheltered beside longhouses, and Daro's weekly inspection confirmed stored grain and cured fish remain free of mold. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-fuel-coppice | Work crews coppiced willow and alder, limbing billets to season for winter. Shallow drainage trenches were dug around the sheltered clay hollow, and an open-sided thatched timber shelter was constructed where fresh wood sits raised on stringers. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-hearth-and-insulation | Thin-split willow and alder laths from the hollow shelter were brought into the longhouses to temper near hearth eaves before burning with core dry billets, extending firewood reserves. Families consolidated into the two primary longhouses with strict night-time ash-banking, while Sava's weavers installed double-layered reed draft-screens over doorways and crafted reed-and-grass boot liners to prevent outdoor frostbite. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-hearth-discipline-and-air | Thin-split willow and alder laths seasoned in roof rafters were burned alongside hardwood billets under overnight ash-banking, protecting core fuel reserves without filling longhouses with smoke. Snowdrifts were cleared from eaves with push-boards, chimney vents were cleared of ice daily, and dried pine needles and coastal herbs were cast on evening coals to keep indoor air breathable and spirits resolute. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-marker-beach-patrol | Evi completed a cautious day patrol to the marker beach. She observed additional worked timber offcuts in the flotsam and sighted hearth smoke across the northern creek from cover, returning safely before nightfall without being detected or making contact. | REPORTED | CONFIRMED | PROPAGATED |
| fact-saltmere-pan-thermal-test | Nessa conducted a low-intensity test boil on an inland pan using salvaged drift and deadfall, while Fen monitored the western bank at low water. The clay reinforcement remained solid without cracking or seepage, confirming stability under low heat while core dry billets remain reserved for domestic warmth. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-stores-and-shallows-foraging | Orin hauled both fishing skiffs well above storm-tide levels, lashing them hull-up on timber rollers beneath thatched mats. Foraging shifted to tidal shallows and Sava's woven wicker traps in the reed channels, harvesting cockles, mussels, and eels. Daro bedded roots in dry sand clamps, grain was raised on split-timber dunnage, and Sava's weavers shifted indoors to make draft screens and hampers. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-stores-and-shelter | Saltmere's two damaged roofs were re-thatched with marsh reeds before mid-autumn rains. Garden roots were lifted and stored dry. The autumn fish catch was divided between the smokehouse using allocated dry billets, dry-salting with reserve cakes, and Sava's canopied drying racks, preventing spoilage. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-subsistence-and-bank-care | Daro instituted strict weekly food draws from barley, salted fish, and sand-clamped tubers, removing spoiled roots early. During mild low-tide sun, foraging crews harvested cockles, mussels, and winter kelp within waist-deep limits, while Orin broke skim ice to empty Sava's wicker eel pots. Fen kept the springhead and runnel cleared of snow, and inspected the pan bank's reed-and-turf revetment, confirming no frost heaving or cracking occurred. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| fact-saltmere-subsistence-and-spring-care | Daro maintained steady weekly rations from barley, dried peas, and salt-fish, boiling softening sand-clamped roots into daily pottages before rot could spread. Foraging crews in insulated reed overshoes harvested cockles and mussels within knee-deep shallows during sunny calms, and Orin cracked ice to check submerged eel traps. Fen kept the pan bank revetment dressed against frost heave and cleared the springhead runnel with wooden poles, ensuring unblocked potable water. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | DIRECT_OBSERVATION |
| saltmere-calendar | It is Early autumn, Year 1 (Y01-M07). The mornings are cool, with intermittent rain and occasional drying days. People expect wetter mid-autumn, stronger late-autumn winds, then short winter days, frost and occasional snow. Sea ice is not dependable. Weather can interrupt outdoor drying and travel; no particular storm or loss is foretold. Preparing roofs, fuel and stores now can work. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-conditions | Midwinter longhouse life remains secure and healthy through deep frost: tempered willow and alder laths stretch hardwood billets under deep ash-banking, while roof snow loads are cleared and door reed screens block drafts. Daro's weekly sand clamp culls channel softening roots into nourishing communal pottages, and shallows foraging within knee-depth limits provides fresh mussels and cockles during sunny calms. Fen keeps the springhead runnel flowing freely without ice jams, the pan bank revetment holds firm against frost heave, and indoor craft teams produce storage hampers, new eel creels, and oiled tools. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-contacts | Nessa is your pan tender. Orin is your net captain. Sava is your basket and drying-rack maker. Fen is your bank and water keeper. Evi is your shore walker. Daro is your storekeeper. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-custom | At fuel allocations, each hearth lays a stone beside the claimant it supports. The stones witness a promise; they do not give every household a veto. People currently accept your leadership and await a decision. You may keep work local, change priorities or seek information without promising anyone a grand new order. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-dispute | Nessa, who tends the pans, asks for the dry billets promised at the last gathering. Orin, whose household fishes, points at the smoking rack and says fish will spoil if the pans take everything. Neither claims that all production must continue: both want the cost of a reduction to be acknowledged. Several families will work on either task, but cannot do both at once. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-map | Your village stands on the western shallows of a narrow sound. Brine pools lie east, garden strips on the low rise west, and a coppice beyond them. A shingle path leads north to an empty marker beach; reeds conceal the shore south. The tidal mud looks walkable from above but holds deep runnels. Your two shallow fishing skiffs can follow the western shore in settled weather; neither is suited to an exposed crossing in a gale. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-neighbors | Evi shows you a shaped timber offcut washed onto the marker beach, bearing three chisel notches. From the rise, on clear mornings, you can see smoke north across the creek but cannot count houses. Evi has previously walked as far as the empty marker beach, half a fair-weather day north, and knows its tide retreat. She offers to guide a small party there or carry a message if you choose. No meeting or reply is promised. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-opportunity | Sava has woven a small raised drying rack whose fish stayed clean during the last fair spell. It has not been tested through prolonged rain. A sheltered clay hollow could store covered firewood if drained. These are possibilities for patient local work, not reasons you must leave home. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-premise | You have awakened without memory of your old identity. You remember ordinary life in a modern society, but no modern equipment has come with you. The 151 people here treat you as their leader. Specific skills may be established through what you credibly attempt; doing or teaching work takes time. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-scene | A gust carries white dust across the salt shed. At the hearth, two women hold opposite ends of the same split log. Neither pulls. Beyond them, wet nets drip onto the earth, and people stop talking when you step through the doorway. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
| saltmere-warning | After the last high tide, a thin damp line remained under the western pan bank. Fen says the bank has held for years but asks to inspect it at low water before another full boiling. You can see the line; you do not yet know what lies inside the bank. | OBSERVED | CONFIRMED | INITIAL |
