MYTH II STORY ARC READER — 2026-09-16

This is a locally readable story map, not a transcript. It groups the 27-mission route into five narrative movements and keeps the evidence boundary visible.

1. TROUBLE REACHES THE VILLAGES
Route: Prologue -> Willow Creek -> Salvation -> Down A Broken Path -> Into The Breach -> The Baron
Local reading: Reports of unrest become direct rescue, escort, cemetery, and keep-defense problems. The force moves from scattered threats to the Baron's domain.
Evidence: DOCUMENTED local route; FAN CROSS-CHECK for plot links. Exact journal wording and triggers remain runtime-needed.

2. THE ROAD TO THE RUINED CAPITAL
Route: Gonen's Bridge -> Beyond The Cloudspine -> The Great Library -> Gate Of Storms -> Landing At White Falls -> Through The Ermine
Local reading: The campaign shifts from local defense to a long crossing. Bridges, mountain passage, libraries, and storm gates make movement and survival part of the story.
Evidence: DOCUMENTED route framing; broad plot interpretation is FAN CROSS-CHECK until journal pages are captured.

3. MUIRTHEMNE AND THE COST OF PURSUIT
Route: Stair Of Grief -> The Deceiver -> With Friends Like These -> Walls Of Muirthemne -> The Ibis Crown -> Redemption
Local reading: The ruined capital becomes the campaign's political and military center. Deception, divided loyalties, and relic recovery raise the stakes beyond isolated battles.
Evidence: DOCUMENTED local route; character and event connections are bounded paraphrases, not reproduced dialogue.

4. THE TAIN AND THE RETURNING ANCIENT THREAT
Route: Relic -> The Summoner -> A Murder Of Crows -> Limbs, Heads, And Smoking Craters -> The Wall
Local reading: The Tain becomes the central problem. The Summoner's shard pursuit is connected in the local record to the return of the Myrkridia.
Evidence: DOCUMENTED local route + FAN CROSS-CHECK; the exact shard/journal chain remains a primary-capture task.

5. CLOSING THE PURSUIT
Route: Shiver -> Twice Born -> The Forge -> Epilogue: Rebirth
Local reading: The final movement compresses the campaign into pursuit, confrontation, and aftermath. The Epilogue remains a separate endpoint.
Evidence: DOCUMENTED local route; mission outcomes and journal language remain runtime-needed where not supported by a captured primary page.

HOW TO USE
Read the five movements first, then open the local Campaign Chronology, Character Dossier, and Runtime Journal Capture Template. The library keeps a useful story route available while unsupported details remain in the queue.

PROVENANCE
Derived from the local campaign route JSON, History Foundations digest, Character Dossier, and page-bounded strategy-guide record. Cross-check pointers include the Bungie Myth II manual mirror and Myth Journals; neither outside source is required to read this arc map.
