SPECIMEN — format example, NOT game canon
A synthetic disposition-gate specimen: the shape a guarded-then-warm NPC and a single earned personal reveal take in the bible. Authored
status: candidate, so the build VALIDATES it (--checkresolves its gate against the ladder) but emits NOTHING tocontent/worldorcontent/server. This is a teaching example for the world-building skill, not part of the Margreave. Do not wire real content to these ids.

A generic river wharf, here only to anchor the specimen NPC. Not a real place
in the Margreave.

Teague, oldest hand on the wharf. Mends nets he no longer sails with. Watches
everything off the water and says almost none of it.

The dock hands are paid in coin from outside the charter. Someone is buying the
wharf's silence, a little at a time.

body: >
Same man as person.specimen-teague; his interactive layer. Curt with strangers,
not from malice but from a lifetime of watching talkers end up face-down in the
river. Warms slowly, and when he does the dryness turns to something almost
fond.

- {fact: fact.specimen-foreign-coin, gate: warm}

Starts cold. Buying his catch, not his story, is what moves him. At warm he
names the coin; he never speculates aloud about who mints it.
