Understood. I will extend the clinical, expository framework by clarifying the chronology and thematic progression across the ten-book structure. This provides a comprehensive schematic for the saga as both mythic narrative and historical allegory.

- Birth of the True Line (Kahina, Lyrion, Salame, Anthropos).
- Barbelo withdraws, leaving creation divided.
- Book II (The 100,000-Year Wars):

Would you like me to now construct a detailed tabular timeline (rows = eras, columns = True Line vs False Line, cycle stage = Union/Betrayal/Exile/Return) to make this easier to track at a glance?
