Town
Wickhold
The hearth warden, Nell, Otto, Pim, Sable, Lark, Bram, and Vesper. Rest, jobs, craft, warehouse, lessons, pets, and the rift sit around the fire. Stepping back into the square mends the warden and every pet.
Arc record
Turn it gold.
Then seal it.
Connect a wallet on Arc, choose a warden, and walk out of Wickhold. Weaken a spirit until the bar turns gold, then seal it. A true band can still slip. The wallet holds the record. A site update does not erase it.
No download. The game token is not issued yet. Gas on Arc is USDC. The world, the systems, and the keys are below, and again inside the watch. Both roads answer as emberlight.fun. A slow road does not stop the other.

The watchLoop
WickholdThen the meadow
World
A town, eight wilds, and a rift.
The square is safe. The meadow splits north into Briarwood and south into Ashfen. Cinderreach sits past the wood. Mirehollow and Gloamshore sit past the fen. Starwell waits at the end of the east road, and Glasswaste is the crack beyond it. The tear south of town is the rift. Other wardens walk the same roads. The first strike claims a spirit for 15 seconds. A field spirit returns in 45 seconds. An elite returns in 2 minutes. The rift stays with the warden who opened it.
Field
Wickmeadow
Spirits hunt the lamp. Turn a health bar gold, then throw a seal. The band is skill. The spirit can still refuse. Fiber grows back.
Wood
Briarwood
North of the meadow. The trees stand close. Sprouthorns and oaklings keep the path. The south gate walks you back.
Fen
Ashfen
South of the meadow. Reeds, black water, and the night things that also walk Starwell. The north gate returns to the field.
Depth
Starwell Cave
The road ends under the well. Salt, nightwings, and the Lanterncore. A north crack opens onto Glasswaste. Deep night lifts the seal a little. It is still not certain.
Ash
Cinderreach
North of Briarwood. Kiln beetles, a coal bell, and Hearthdrake. The south gate walks you back into the wood.
Bog
Mirehollow
South of Ashfen. Caps, eels, and Mycorrh, the white stag. The north gate returns to the reeds.
Tide
Gloamshore
East of the fen. Foam, kelp, and Tidecore. The west gate returns to Ashfen.
Prism
Glasswaste
Past the north crack in Starwell. Salt moths, a walking prism, and a chance that stays under certain.
Rift
Fifty floors
Fifty maps, shuffled every entry. Ten moods color them. The last room keeps the Wickheart. Dying there ends the run and wakes you in the square.
Systems
What the watch keeps.
- 01
Pacts
Weaken a spirit and stop the marker on the bright band. The card shows the chance. A true band can still slip, and a rarer spirit slips more often. One pet leads. Follow, Guard, or Hunt.
- 02
Drops
Scatters leave gear on the ground. Weapons, coats, and charms roll Might, Guard, Vigor, or Focus.
- 03
Sets
Ember Watch and Starwell pay at two pieces and again at three. The bag shows the count while you wear them.
- 04
Warehouse
Sixteen slots on your person. Twenty-four with Pim. Worn gear comes off before it can be stored.
- 05
Rift
Fifty floors and fifty maps. Each entry shuffles them, and the deeper floors hit harder. The last stair pays the lamp and returns you to Wickhold.
- 06
Slips
Nell posts three jobs a watch. Scatter, seal, or gather. A finished slip can pay a bead. One bead stays on the lamp.
- 07
Roads
Other wardens walk the same roads. The first strike claims a spirit for 15 seconds. A field spirit returns in 45 seconds. An elite returns in 2 minutes.
- 08
Chat
Enter speaks to every warden on the watch. Enter again sends the line. The same wallet session signs it, and the words stay apart from the record. A party is not part of the watch.
Ledger
The wallet keeps the watch.
Level, pets, titles, bag, warehouse, and where you stand are signed by the wallet and stored for that address. Leaving the watch can also write the record into a transaction on Arc. The copy sits outside the site files. Both roads answer as emberlight.fun, so uploading a new build does not delete it. A slow road does not stop the other. A warden cannot be deleted. The whitepaper sets down the world, the systems, and the record.
Play
Combat, catches, and craft resolve on your machine.
Keep
The watch writes while you play, and again when the tab is hidden or closed.
Sign
The wallet signs the session. Arc can then carry the record in a transaction you approve.
Checkpoint
Arc holds the checkpoint.
Play stays on this machine. The signed record stays with the wallet. A checkpoint is a transaction to your own address, so the input remains on Arc. The game token belongs to Emberlight and has not been issued.
