Key Considerations
- Overlapping membership: Characters may belong to multiple factions
- Hidden factions: Some operate in secret — extract even unnamed ones
- Dynamic relationships: Alliances shift; note current state from text
- Cross-references: If needed, track relationships separately in drafts, but final JSON must match
LoreData.from_dict.
