The Chronicle

Chapter V — The Pale Marches

The cobbles give out, the Wall falls behind, and the grass takes over. Nobody stops you going. That is the lesson, and it is not a comfortable one.

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 Marching Orders

Read the orders nailed to the post at the head of the road (✶), article by article.

The road out is being walked…

Where you stand

Open country. The orders (✶) at the head of the road, the ford (O) at the middle water, the herbwife's rack west, the outriders' stones east, a wayfire in the south.

The keepers

The March-Warden, the Forester, the Fordkeeper, the Herbwife, the Lampwright and the Outrider. None of them will stop you leaving, and all of them will help you back.

Codex:

The one rule

The gate opens both ways. Leaving costs nothing, what you made goes with you, and returning asks only where you have been.

The road north (▼) carries you back through the Wall.
