Feature Catalog

Grounded feature families used across Valenar docs.

A Feature is notable generated or discovered content, sign, or fact inside a Territory. If the content becomes enterable, exploitable, or developed, it should move into the Site taxonomy.

Natural Or Geographic Features​

  • springs and water access
  • groves or dense stands
  • cliffs, chokepoints, and overlooks
  • cave mouths, fissures, and unstable openings

Ruined Or Built Features​

  • ruin traces
  • shrine clues
  • watchtowers
  • broken wards
  • abandoned workings

Threat Or Pressure Features​

  • tainted ground
  • ash fields
  • gate scars
  • ambush signs
  • predator trails
  • corrupted traces

Notes​

Feature placement authority lives in ../generation/gd-feature-generation-contract.md. This page catalogs the kinds of features the docs already treat as grounded. Resource nodes, ruins, and similar Features can later convert into Sites. When a Feature converts to a Site, the Site record carries SourceFeatureId pointing at the originating Feature row (present on Host/Data/SiteData.cs:11). The conversion preserves provenance and does not mutate the Feature row's identity.
