Where the Samarqandh–Bukhara royal road gathers its travelers — a caravanserai, a river town, watch-heights, and open dune country, all within a day or so of each other.
A working stretch of the Samarqandh–Bukhara royal road — a caravanserai, a river town, watch-heights, and open dune country, all within a day or so of each other along the same corridor.
| Character | Site |
|---|---|
| Lisa — Human Warrior | Ember Wash |
| Erik — Tadbir Sorcerer | The Glass Dunes |

This is a planning overview, not narrative content — it links each character's starting site to their full awakening script and lays out the assumed convergence order.
| Character | Awakening Script | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Lisa — Human Warrior | narrative/sessions/00_session0/Session_0_Warrior_Awakening (Actual) | Refugee camp, ravine off the road near Kattakurgan |
| Erik — Tadbir Sorcerer | narrative/sessions/00_session0/Session_0_Seeker_Awakening (Actual) | Collapse site, dune country below Nur-Ata |
| Arno — Pari-Kin Druid | narrative/sessions/00_session0/Session_0_Sentinel_Awakening (Actual) | Fortress ruins above the branching gorge |
| Marc — Human Seraph | narrative/sessions/00_session0/Session_0_Visionary_Awakening (Actual) | The caravanserai standoff |
| (unassigned — Breaker slot) | narrative/sessions/00_session0/Session_0_Breaker_Awakening (Actual) | The collapsed inn |
The same westbound caravan plausibly threads all five — picking up survivors and stragglers as it moves from Samarqandh toward Bukhara. Convergence order along the road, east to west: Ember Wash → The Glass Dunes / Nur-Ata (spur) → Karmana → Rabati Malik → Bukhara.
Update this table as the Breaker slot fills and as player-to-archetype assignments change — see `DASHBOARD.md` for current status.
