The character-select screen says which world a character belongs to. One line above the name, cloned from m_csFileSource - vanilla's own "Cloud save" label - so the font, size, colour and alignment are the game's and not a guess.

It reads the binding file first, and the character second, which is where it earns its keep. A binding is only written when a character spawns while Dyrr is running, so every character that last played before the mod arrived had none and said so. But PlayerProfile.m_worldData is one entry per world a character has spawned in, and SaveSystem.GetAllPlayerProfiles parses it in full for the menu - so the answer was already in memory. Exactly one world is that character's home by definition, and it is bound on the spot rather than merely shown; leaving it unbound would mean the menu guard protecting nothing until the character happened to play again.

More than one world is left unbound on purpose and named rather than counted: "Has played in BaldoTest and longhouse_20260818". There is no single home to defend, and a count tells somebody they have a problem without telling them what it is. Names come from the local world list where the world is on this disk, topped up from m_knownWorlds where it is not - the game's own record of where a character has played, keyed by name where m_worldData is keyed by uid. That pairing is what names a server's world that nothing local could.

No bare uid ever appears on that line. Nineteen digits standing where the answer goes was the first version of it; a world that still cannot be named now says it is not on this PC, and a name worked out late is written back into the binding so it is only worked out once.

This is the same fact dyrr home reports, moved to where the decision is made. The console was the cheapest surface to write and the wrong one: off until somebody enables it, a developer's tool, and it has to be asked. The information matters at exactly one moment, and that moment already has a screen. Nothing here prevents anything - it is the sentence that stops the refusal at the next screen being a surprise.
