Next Expansion Rule

Future expansion should not only add more pages. Each new article should strengthen one of the study paths, answer a real reader question, or fill a gap in the divine hierarchy, ritual system, glossary, or temple proposal.

Editorial rule: expand with structure, not clutter. Every article needs a stable slug, a clear category, related terms, related articles, and a reason to exist.

Learn. Honor. Build. Walk the Way.
