How It Fits Together

One step, then the next. That is how the first of us crossed the world, and how you will.

The path from your first night to Dominion, one step at a time.

Everything you do feeds the next step. This is the path most Travelers walk.

1. Survive. Stay fed, watered, rested and whole.
2. Explore and map. Walking the land and mapping it clears the Fog.
3. Gain Experience. Exploring and doing earn Experience.
4. Learn new crafts. Experience reveals what you can make.
5. Found outposts and win allies. Settlements and sworn kin hold land while you are elsewhere.
6. Hold the land. Held land keeps the Fog back.
7. Spirits take form. Where the Fog is cleared, the spirits become solid.
8. Vanquish them. A spirit in physical form can be defeated.
9. Dominion grows. The path begins again, further out.

The long road

As your Dominion grows, Acts call you to vanquish Fatigue, Hunger and Thirst, and at last to rise above Injury. See The End Game.

The Unseen watches every step

Along the way, your deeds earn Favor or Disfavor with the Unseen. The balance between the two is your Honor. You spend Honor to swear oaths with allies, and you can risk it at altars.
