The Seven are the heart, not the whole system.
The Core Seven are the people the story asks the reader to love. The faction record preserves the wider institution without reducing it to a roster or a gallery of portraits.

The Griffin Maidens
War-State Necessity
The Griffin Maidens enter the gap between command and collapse: where a route must close, a House must comply, a convoy must move, or a decision must arrive before fear. They are authority converted into bodies, gates, routes, and reliable execution.
They were daughters before they were Maidens. The war only remembers the second.
