# CLAUDE.md -- Book 2: "The Drenwick Drainings"
> **STATUS: IN PROGRESS.** Ch01Ch19 drafted/final. Ch20, Ch21, and Epilogue still to be drafted.

> **Ch21 flag — marriage & children seed scene.** Ch21 contains an author-locked centerpiece scene in which Mere proposes, pivots to children, and Phelan surfaces his father wound ("*I don't know how*"). **Locked dialogue from Mere must be preserved verbatim** — see `chapters/book2/ch21-input.md` for the full specification. **This decision is private to Phelan and Mere for the entirety of Book 2** — no other character learns about the marriage or children conversation. Devod, Leon, Carter, Carson, and Ledger stay uninformed through the epilogue. All reveals are deferred to Book 3. Corvel marriage canon (crown civil registry, Drenwick court house, non-religious default) is now documented in `world/locations/drenwick.md` and `world/locations/kingdom-of-corvel.md`.
This file contains Book 2-specific instructions. The series-level CLAUDE.md at the project root governs voice, world, characters, formatting, and continuity rules.
