◆The Horizon: Your Living Record

Every adventure leaves a wake. The Horizon is the quiet spine along the right edge of your screen that remembers it - a vertical timeline of every meaningful moment the world has produced, rendered in order, at a glance.

It replaces the old cascade of pop-ups with something calmer and more permanent. Nothing vanishes after three seconds. Nothing competes for attention. The world writes itself down, and you can read back whenever you want.

›1. Three Tiers of Importance

Not every turn is a turning point. The Horizon classifies each entry by weight, on the server, before it ever reaches your eyes. You see the difference immediately through visual hierarchy.

›2. Filter the Stream

Three pills sit at the top of the panel: World, Self, Saga. Click any of them to scope the timeline to the layer of your story you care about.

• World - Events happening outside your character. Factions shifting, economies turning, rumors traveling across the map.
• Self - Changes to your character. Conditions applied, abilities unlocked, gear earned, HP thresholds crossed.
• Saga - Story progression. Quests updated, chapters sealed, milestones struck, long threads closing.

All three are active by default. Toggling a pill off hides that category without losing it - flip it back on and the entries return, still in order.

›3. Time Dividers

Between entries, thin dotted segments mark the passage of turns. A short gap shows "3 turns" or "7 turns" in faint text; longer gaps (more than fifty turns compressed by offline catch-up or chapter seals) render as wider dividers labelled "turns passed", so you can see at a glance when the world ran without you and picked the story back up.

›4. Deep Links to the Codex

Every entity mentioned in a Horizon entry is a live chip. Click an NPC, location, faction, quest, property, item, or spell, and the OmniCodex slides open to the exact pillar and section where that entity lives.

›5. Collapse and Expand

The Horizon is persistent, but it does not have to be loud. A slim handle on its inner edge collapses the panel to a 56-pixel spine that shows only the timeline skeleton. Click the handle again to restore the full card view.

Your preference is remembered for the session.

›6. The Pivotal Flyer

When a Pivotal entry lands, the Horizon does not simply list it. A card flies across the viewport - a brief, choreographed arc from the narrative feed into its final resting slot on the spine - and the spine itself glows for a beat as the entry docks.

This cinematic only fires for genuinely new events. If you refresh the page or return to a campaign, the Horizon hydrates silently. No false alarms for moments you have already lived.

›7. The Header Badge

At the top of the Horizon, the current turn number (T 47, T 128, and so on) is pinned in amber, so the freshest entry has an anchor. Below it, a quiet subtitle counts the total moments recorded: "42 moments", "1 moment", or simply "Ready" on a brand new world.

›8. What the Horizon Is Not

It is worth saying what the Horizon deliberately avoids.

• It is not a chat log. Your narrative feed is still the story. The Horizon indexes the world's response to that story.
• It is not a quest tracker. Objectives live in the Saga pillar of the OmniCodex. The Horizon shows quest events (a step completing, an arc advancing), not the full to-do list.
• It is not editable. Every entry is classified server-side and immutable. This keeps the record trustworthy across long campaigns; you can look back at turn 400 and see the exact moment a faction turned against you, unaltered.
