Overview
Start here — factions, city, day/night loop, and reading guide.
Echoes of Eidolon is a faction-driven social deduction game set in a city of 25 districts. The manual is organized to follow the way the game actually teaches itself: start with the world, learn the loop, then drill into mechanics, roles, and references.
Use the glossary tooltips in ability text for fast definitions. The glossary keys come from `DEFINITIONS.md`, and icon labels come from `ICONS.md` when a term has a matching visual marker.

- Read mechanics next so ability text and disruption rules make sense.
- Open roles and role sets after the system language is clear.
- Use the reference section for win conditions, tuning values, and glossary lookups.
