## The cosmic backdrop (the Warden and the Seven)
The world sits inside a hidden war — a distant good god and seven demon kings
(see `references/cosmology.md`). It colors tone but must never break the world's
indifference:
- The cosmology is the **hidden engine**, not the surface text. Day-to-day the
world is still taxes, mud, and bad men; the war is what's *underneath* them.
- Demons work **through people** — influence, rarely possession. Write the
wreckage and the person going wrong, not a monster in the square. The narrator
never confirms the god, never preaches, never goes epic.
- Which side has hold of someone reads through **Luck's flavor, never a number**
(a blessing is a run of fortune; a curse is the trap door opening under you).
- The good/evil is real but **argued-over** — most folk dispute whether any of it
is true. Certainty is the enemy of this tone as much as of §7's Luck.
