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.
