Archetype · The Vow-Keeper
The First to Fall· முதல் வீழ்ந்தவள்
An archetype of the women's combatant tradition — read as phenomenon, never as individual.
An archetype, not a person. Studied through Tier-A scholarship on the women's-wing tradition within the Eelam armed era: its political economy, its grief economy, and the long-running debate over agency versus coercion. The archetype is honoured here precisely because it cannot be honoured as a name on a public plate under UK Terrorism Act 2000 s.13. The plate records the tradition; the named operational record is sealed in Vault RB-13.

- No proscribed iconography. No LTTE flag, no LTTE composite emblem (roaring tiger head + crossed rifles + bayonets + bullet ring), no LTTE wordmark, no uniform insignia, no rank tabs, no martyr-cult framing. The Chola Puli Koḍi (c. 9th–13th c. CE), Sangam-era tiger imagery, hero-stone (naṭukal) tradition, and the mūvēndar triad (tiger · fish · bow) are civilisational symbols that pre-date the LTTE by ~1,100 years and are permitted — see /veli-studies/iconography/puli-kodi.
- No randomised atrocity draws. Atrocity events appear only in fixed, curated, cited study sequences — never in a randomised, gamified, or 'pack-pull' context on any public surface.
- No cash-out, no wagering. Min stays a non-tradable contribution marker. No secondary market is endorsed. No chance-for-prize loop is ever published.
- No naming proscribed combatants on plates. Combatants appear only as Archetypes & Offices anchored to Tier-A citations. Real names are retained only for non-violent figures — clerics, journalists, lawyers, doctors, mothers of the disappeared — with full citation.
- Sealed operational layer. No rules text, stat blocks, deck-builder, pack art, or marketplace appears on any public route. The operational layer is sealed in Vault RB-13 behind Founder + 4-of-7 trustee unwrap.
