How to look in the atlas
- Rail → “Event type” → “Warp · sorcery”: almost the whole theme lies in a single filter.
- Time slider 4.35 (the breach) → 7.15 (birth of the Storm) → 9.3 (the Pharos) → 11.6 (the Storm’s breach at Davin).
- The “World statuses” layer + search “Sotha”: a beacon is infrastructure, not a miracle.
- Glossary (the “Glossary and sources” button): “Ruinstorm”, “Pharos”, “Webway”.
