Asterhold

FIELD NOTES   /   ECOSYSTEM

Beneath the Kingdom.

Asterhold supplies the operating-system boundary. Related projects have their own identities, lifecycles and engineering decisions.

RELATED PROJECT / DATABASE

RatDB

RatDB is the database project intended to serve Asterhold. In the Kingdom’s visual lore, its ratmen work in the tunnels below the streets. In engineering terms, the proposed relationship is a separately managed database service with explicit storage grants.

RatDB does not currently run as an integrated native Asterhold service. A useful first workload, a durable storage boundary and the authority to access service-owned data must be agreed and tested first.

FUTURE BOUNDARY / STORAGE

A name is not a permission

A logical namespace could let Court present locations without exposing disk addresses. Listing a location, reading a document and modifying it need independent checks. Neither a filesystem format nor a Realm portability model has been adopted.

A database’s service data must remain distinct from the current operator’s personal Realm. Sharing a Kingdom does not imply sharing private data.
