### What the Flood is in this premise (enemy fiction, shared with the Lead and Combat)
-
Creatures that pour through submerged streets and chambers when water and noise disturb them: a threat and a material condition, not fuel for the old world and not the revelation. Below the roof, inhabited dry halls are separated by flooded cisterns, service rings and drainage shafts where the Flood gathers and migrates; every layer therefore has safe human interiors and dangerous wet edges. Creatures can follow reopened shafts between layers, though the first lift reveal is not punished immediately. Their origin remains a discovery for the lower layers. The retained physics stays true without defining that origin: bodies conduct in water and shed charge when stunned. Light, noise and current may draw them as support for a plan. The Bell House pulse is the bounded first lesson; the pre-credits Echo Relay cascade in the central furnace hall is that lesson at full size (Equipment and Combat own its legal form).

The Bell House pulse is the bounded first lesson; the pre-credits Choir network in the central furnace hall is that lesson at full size. Its finite visible wet footprint multiplies a prepared Coil-and-Arc discharge; outside that authored network both tools keep their ordinary rules.
### The larger world as discovery, staged
-
The discoveries are now separated across the progression. Before the first credits, the Bell House proves a family song carries technical memory and the Echo Relay turns that lesson into the furnace-hall build. Restoring the central furnace fulfills Senn's winter goal. After those credits, the archive plate supplies context for the crowned relief; the song opens the lift; the first landing establishes physical scale; distant lights establish people. The immediate post-lift task is to reach the nearest answering settlement, establish a safe two-way route and bring its message home. The longer question—why the layers were sealed and why ordinary families kept the songs—guides later history without replacing that task.

### Handoff
-
Colony: the three situations above as Hearth grows, and who else lives there. Lead and Campaign: the layered progression from the lift down. Equipment and Combat: the Bell House pulse and the Echo Relay. **Visionary disposition:** retain the three relationship threads and fair clue chain; use the qualitative key/history rule above, and let the lift reveal breathe before the later authored defence. PM disposes. What follows on this page is the drowned-city material, superseded as the active pitch and preserved as design. The superseded quota and earlier defence timing remain in [World r29 / 8d03e80](/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery?revision=8d03e80).
