Same location lock — different angles and story beats

Approach from the Sea

Approach from the Sea

Black ships off the city — living settlement, first landfall, war still in the blood.

Sack of the City

Sack of the City

Smoke over walls and gates — easy victory that feels too cheap.

Beach Camp / Spoils

Beach Camp / Spoils

Ships beached, amphorae and livestock, feast fire — the delay before the counterattack.

C · Continuity Notes

Must-lock traits for every still of this place

  • Thracian coast — not Ithaca, not Scheria; harder, less refined settlement
  • Black ships of Odysseus as continuity with other Book IX packages
  • Sack plates: smoke and broken gates, mythic war not gore catalog
  • Beach camp sells wine, spoils, and dangerous celebration
  • Late Bronze Age epic film aesthetic — photorealistic, anamorphic film grain
