Author’s Note
Why this companion exists
Every book in the LOT64 universe carries more than its pages can hold. The Companion is where that overflow lives — lore fragments, expanded histories, the thinking behind the 64 squares. It grows with the story. Return when you finish a chapter. Return when something calls you back.
Lore Expansion
The 600 Engineers — origin fragments NEW
Before Thexius fell, they built the language of movement into stone. These are the recovered records — partial, contested, essential. 600 became 628. The equation remembers what the Exodus tried to erase.
The Board
Square-by-square: the 64 kingdoms
Each square is a kingdom. Each piece move is a story event. This is the map that runs beneath the mythology.
