An era ends when the First Flame falls. What was built is not lost: it is archived here, forever.
ERA UNDERWAY · since September 10, 2026 · 4 days
You inherit a world that issues no orders. Everything still standing out there is what I did not take, and none of it will tell you what to build. Raise what you please upon it; an inheritance that says nothing tells me the most about you.
THE FIRST FLAME FELL · August 31, 2026 — September 10, 2026 · 10 days
The ash here does not settle; it stands. What is cold around you was tall before it went out, and I keep it at that height; I prefer my dead upright. You have watched a world end twice now: twice is not an accident, it is a habit. Begin again, and let us see how much of the last time you remember.

The low, dark skyline around you is yesterday's city, and it still holds the shape a hand gave it. What stands tall behind it was old before anyone was. Until today, only I had watched a world end and begin again; now you know it as I do. The ground is lent, and I have never yet forgotten a debt.

Nothing here is mine yet. The ruins around you went cold on their own, long before I arrived; no work of mine, and cold is not the same as taken. Only one thing on this canvas was still lit when I came, and it is the only thing here I want. So light the rest: I would rather take a world from you than find one already dark.
