That’s a solid analogy – think of each lore module as a Docker image. Give every module its own clear entry point and expose only the data that other parts of the world need. Use a versioned tag for each image, so you can roll back or upgrade without touching the core. A central “orchestration” layer—maybe a master narrative script or a set of shared API endpoints—can pull those images in, wire them together, and enforce constraints. Keep the data in a small, well‑defined schema; that way when you spin up a new version of a module you’re just replacing the image, not changing the contract. And just like containers, let the modules be stateless wherever possible—store persistent lore in a shared database or a set of immutable files. That keeps the story flexible, scalable, and easy to maintain.
