Acts

Must be true

  • Kael and Iyara are primordial — already complete, already equal.
  • Their Blackness is integral to visual identity, not costume.
  • Powers are intrinsic. Gold is what existence looks like when Kael expresses himself. Reality recognizes Iyara's perception.
  • The Unmaking is forgetting, not a monster.
  • Their origin remains unresolved.
  • Dialogue stays sparse. Silence is a character.
  • Not every shot is spectacular. Restraint makes scale land.

Must never happen

  • Kael as a technological superhero.
  • Iyara as a conventional sorceress.
  • Black Panther / Wakanda visual language.
  • Explaining their divinity.
  • Reducing them to humans who acquired powers.
  • The Unmaking as a conventional villain with a face.
  • Answering mysteries reserved for later chapters.
  • Hard-coding a provider onto a shot.

The organism

Creation and economy are one graph. The commercial ring sits around the machine, not inside the generator. Event ≠ state. The founder is a principal, not middleware.
