The Chronicle
Chapter VII — The Founder's Shadow
The old house, older than the walls. Here the Founder wrote the rule that binds her, kept a lamp for everyone still out, and named the hand that comes after — in daylight.
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 Founder's Covenant
Read the Covenant written along the long wall (✶), article by article.

Where you stand
The old house. The Covenant (✶) along the long wall, the hearth (O) never let go cold, the writing desk west, the Succession Trials east, lamps in every window.
The keepers
The Steward, the Archivist, the Letter-Keeper, the First-Sworn, the Next Hand, and one man who left once and was let back in.
Codex: —
The one rule
The Founder rules by the Charter, not above it. Every letter is answered. The next hand is named in daylight. Whoever leaves may return.
The door south (▼) carries you back to the Forge Fires.
