The Saga, Feats & Titles

Three ledgers give a character's life shape: the saga (the campaign, in chapters), feats (the permanent record of firsts and finishes), and titles (the names the herald lets you wear). All three are optional — the world is yours either way — and none of them ever locks, resets, or expires.

The Saga

SAGA (aliases SAGAS, CAMPAIGN) shows the campaign ledger: the chapter you are on, its steps, and the chapters already written.

  • Chapters land strictly in order. Only the current chapter's steps make progress, so wandering ahead spoils nothing and skips nothing — a shaman felled during chapter I counts as ordinary kobold blood, never as chapter II's step.
  • Steps note themselves off play you were doing anyway: entering places, greeting people, killing creatures (kill steps show a live n/N tally).
  • Each step pays real experience (the quest-bounty kind, straight to exp — not the field pool), and each chapter pays a completion bonus. The next chapter's opening prints in-stream the moment one closes.
  • Future chapters render as ??? — the mystery is the point.

Saga I — The Warren Beneath the Climb runs three chapters, from first blood on the trail west of Coldhollow to the warren chief's chamber. The finale is a telegraphed boss fight — the room tells you how to answer.

Feats — the permanent record

FEATS (alias FEAT) shows the marks a character earned first, hardest, or earliest. Each is stamped with the day and never revoked — unlike deeds, which are spent at the shrine, a feat is forever.

Feat Earned by
First Flame Any login during the founding era — before 2027-01-01 UTC. When the era closes, no one can ever earn it again.
Found Your Feet Finishing the newcomer checklist (TASKS).
First Blood Your first kill.
Read the Blade Answering a telegraphed attack inside its window for the first time.
Chief of the Warren Slaying the warren chief.
The Warren Beneath the Climb Completing Saga I.

Some feats unlock a title in the herald's list — the Firstkindled rides First Flame, Warrenbreaker rides the saga.

Titles — earned, never invented

TITLE shows the name you wear; TITLE LIST shows every title you have earned; TITLE <pick> (a list number or the title's words) wears one; TITLE CLEAR bares your name.

Titles come only from the herald's catalog — the rank ladder you grow through, your profession's road, guild masteries, and the marks feats leave. Free text is refused by design: the only names a character can carry are earned ones. Outgrown rank titles retire ("that name belongs to younger hands").
