The Silver Pact (blue-silver lion): rebuild, protect, link. Blind spot — it mistakes stability for legitimacy; its most conservative circle, the Keepers of the Seal, would restore the Great Accord AS IT WAS. Courants: les Remparts (pragmatist wardens, Aldric's kin) · les Argentiers (a road is worth its prosperity) · les Conservateurs du Sceau (the ready-made post-100 antagonist). The Scarlet Pack (crimson iron, beast-skull): never again depend on an order that can fall. Blind spot — it romanticizes survival; its radicals, Brise-Seuils, would rather break the network than live under its lie. Courants: les Foyers (live free) · les Pisteurs (students of the surfacings) · les Brise-Seuils. Neither is villain; some Remnants ARE inhabitants, and the Meute said it first. Courants exist in DIALOGUE only (v1). No spokesperson sums up their side. Faction arcs: asymmetric in FORM (institutions cracking vs persons founding), symmetric in VOLUME.
