Rule: New universe, Filipe Faria's Crónicas de Allaryia (Portugal): the database's first entirely non-English universe with NO English translation at all, the standing test case named by Carlos for the local-language literature programme. Core = all 10 numbered novels (2002-2026, closed on publication of A Última Crónica). The publisher is Editorial/Grupo Editorial Presença, confirmed by every source checked (Wikipedia PT, the publisher's own site, press coverage, three independent retailers). A Saga das Pedras Mágicas is by a different author (Sandra Carvalho) and is NOT part of this universe. A Alvorada dos Deuses (2015) is a separate Faria standalone, not part of Allaryia. A second, unrelated Filipe Faria (a photographer) exists and is not used as a source without filtering. For a book whose original language is not English and which has no recorded translation, the title shown IS the original-language title (there is no separate English display title). This is DISTINCT from an English-original book with no recorded translation, which is disambiguated by its language being recorded as English.
