Codex and Mentions

Codex and mentions

The Codex is your encyclopedia of the campaign as your character knows it: one page per character, place, faction, quest, item, event, piece of knowledge or free note.

Pages

Each page has a type, a title, optional aliases (other names the same thing goes by), a draft / active status and its own notes, written with the same editor as the sessions. Pages can carry images.

When you rename a page, the old title is kept as an alias, so older notes still find it.

Mentions: the [[ menu

1. In any note, type [[ and the first letters of a name.
2. Pick an existing page, or Create draft to make a new page on the spot.
3. The name becomes a link. Behind it Chronexus stores the page's permanent identity, not its name: renaming the page never breaks the link.

Typing [[Name]] by hand stays plain text until you choose a result — Chronexus never guesses which page you meant.

• Ambiguous names. If two pages share an alias, both are offered; you choose.
• Missing pages. A link whose page no longer exists is shown as missing, and you can recreate it explicitly as a draft with the same identity.

Backlinks

Every page lists where it is mentioned: grouped by session or page, with a preview of the paragraph. Opening a backlink jumps to that exact paragraph and highlights it.

What a mention means — and what it doesn't

A mention only says this page is named in this note. It does not say the two things are related. To record "Varek works for the Guild", declare a relationship in the graph.
