18:8
“The seal passed from palm to palm, gathering no magic—only the weight of every hand that had once refused to close.”
The Book of Diesel · Gospel Threshold Edition v4.5
What is history and what is fiction?
Open reconstructionThe chapter is literary theology rather than recoverable event history.
Historical anchor
Zoroastrian teachings were transmitted through priestly and communal traditions; this specific order and seal are fictional.
Fiction boundary
The Flamekeepers, Seal of the Open Hand, and oath are invented continuity devices.
