View source for Canon Structure

= Canon Structure =

Duela uses a tree-like canon structure.

The purpose of this structure is to let the world grow through stories without making every story equally load-bearing.

== Trunk Canon ==

The trunk is the permanent foundation of the setting.

This includes:

* The existence of Duela
* [[The Essence]]
* [[The System]]
* The Old God
* The basic structure of gods
* Bubble Theory

Trunk canon should almost never change.

== Living Canon ==

Living canon contains exemplary stories and setting material recognized as important to the shared world.

Living canon can grow, be revised, or be pruned over time.

== General Collection ==

The general collection is the default home for stories.

This is not a rejection category. Most stories belong here.

== Branches ==

Branches are stories or sub-canons that grow from existing stories.

A branch must credit the story it grows from.

Branches allow writers to continue, reinterpret, or expand existing stories without forcing every continuation into one single official path.

== Principle ==

Canon is not a cage. It is a growing tree.
