Here is a complete index, laid out like a living architecture. Each layer—Episode → Chapter → Scene—is designed so backstory, flashbacks, and past-life echoes of the Four Ages of Barbelo can be integrated naturally. The outline is epic in scope but modular in form: you can lift a scene as a mythic flashback, or thread a past-life memory into dialogue, without breaking the flow.
