The Chronicle · the final chapter

Chapter VIII — The Crowning

Bellus Day in the great hall. The crown rests upon the Charter stone, never upon a head — and whoever lifts it must crown another before the year turns.

A prototype — not the Towne itself

The Chronicle is a separate game built to teach how BellusTowne works and to show what is coming. Nothing you do here changes anything in BellusTowne — no Standing, no Deeds, no coin, no rank, no record. Your progress lives only in this browser.

The Writ of Crowning

Read the Writ nailed either side of the dais (✶), article by article.

The hall is filling…

Where you stand

The great hall on Bellus Day. The Writ (✶) either side of the dais, the crown upon the Charter stone (O), the Coronation bench west, the Last Circuit east.

The keepers

The Herald, the Crown-Keeper, the Chronicler, the Constable, a Citizen born inside the wall, and the Founder — standing deliberately aside.

Codex:

The one rule

The crown rests on the Charter, not on a head. Each Citizen is sovereign over their own name, likeness, making, and leaving — and crowns another before the year turns.

The door south (▼) carries you back to the Founder's house.
