Codex

Markets and routes

What the world trades in, where, and how things get from one faction to another. Buttons are the world’s; sardines, thimbles and marbles are the site’s, and the two never mix.

12 rows: 1 proposed, 11 that only restate what the games and the codex already say. None of it is canon until it is approved: the codex filed what the games say into systems, and proposed the rest. Each row says which it is.
