Three formations for every passport. Free field frames keep you competitive. A rare appearance never buys stronger base combat stats.

Local teaching simulation. You command Vanguard; the other 11 formations illustrate battlefield scale and hold their positions. Curated outcomes and accelerated renewal, not the full combat resolver. No live match, wallet connection or rewards.
02 / A WORLD THAT MOVES TOGETHER
Strategy has
time to breathe.
Make a considered move. Let everyone else make theirs. A daily cadence gives different time zones room to plan, while sealed orders keep rivals guessing.
01 / PLAN
22 hours
Choose adjacent moves, position your garrison and commit sealed orders. Everyone plans against the same resolved world.
Prepare tomorrow’s encrypted order while today resolves. A delayed start requires a fresh review of a stale queue schedule.
Readable risk
Native defenders have visible roles and tiers. Claims need routes. Reinforcement has limits. Research opportunities are announced in advance.
A way back
Protected homes, free fallback formations and evacuation keep a defeat from becoming a demand to pay before you can play again.
03 / THE SEVEN-DAY CHORUS
Some ground
holds more history.
Every chapter shifts the reasons to fight. Hold a site with a supplied garrison for two consecutive turns. Turn that control into research that changes your next campaign.
MEMORY ARCHIVE
Room to expand.
The makers left their names in the walls. Recover eight Archive insights to grow from 12 to 24 non-home claims.
CAPACITY / 8 INSIGHTS
CHOIR RELAY
A longer reach.
Wake the old conduits. Eight Relay insights unlock a forward camp, carrying your supply frontier deeper into the Mesh.
LOGISTICS / 8 INSIGHTS
GENESIS CRUCIBLE
A new beginning.
Turn recovered knowledge into a common Cube. A repeat craft can use three Crucible insights and six fragments.

A critical site holds five insights. Your Card can take three, leaving a reason for someone else to challenge. Research is finite progression, not passive token yield.
FIELD RECORD / THE FRONTIER
Do not just hold land.
Hold a way home.
Supply flows through connected holdings, up to six links from home or camp. One severed route can matter more than another battalion.
World concept artwork04 / THE DEFENSE LAB
Reinforce the hex.
Respect the siege.
LITANY can buy a bounded defensive advantage. It cannot buy invulnerability. Change the conditions and see exactly when that advantage disappears.
CHANGE THE POSITION
After role, defender advantage, preparation and fatigue; before the modifiers below.
GARRISON STATUSReinforced+10 paid defense active
Defender win interval across the 10,201 possible jitter pairs. Bounds account for unresolved tie priority.
Without paid power 49.5–50.5%Paid power applied +10Earned fortification +0Supply modifier 0
An equal baseline moves to about 59% with +10. Multi-army contests, role changes and native qualification require the full resolver; this is not a universal win-rate forecast.
One cell. One bonus.
+10 power for a supplied stationary garrison. At most two purchases per wallet per turn. No stacking, no extra commands, and no bonus above full earned fortification.
A fee with clear terms.
A completed turn is charged even if there is no attack or you lose. An unfinished, irreversibly aborted turn refunds its payer. Prices will be published before activation.
Recover, or redeploy.
Named Hollows can require LITANY restoration, within a shared recovery cap. Payment never skips cooldown. Free field frames remain a competitive way to continue.
05 / THE CHROMATIC RECORD
Buried color.
Living history.
Every Cube family belongs to a place in the ruined world. The opening lore palette spans twelve families and five depths of recovered knowledge. Future approved editions can go beyond it.
PALETTE STUDY / 01

The quiet strata preserve the names of vanished makers.

Six fragments for a first common craft, then 12 and 24. Rare draws depend on advertised, finite edition stock.
Carry it onchain.
A finalized earned receipt can authorize one approved mint. New Mesh issuance awaits issuer activation; this preview creates no entitlements.
06 / THE LINEAGE CONTINUES
A discovery today.
An ancestor tomorrow.
The expedition returns with a Cube. Synthesis introduces its approved ingredient into a new Hollow. That child can become the origin of an entirely new branch.
SPECIMEN / SIGNALParents keep their history.
The Cube acts at a child’s birth. It does not recolor the parents or rewrite their provenance.
One Cube, one introduction.
Synthesis permanently locks the Cube for one birth. Every new edition needs an approved recipe, cap and renderer-supported trait.
Inheritance carries it further.
A descendant may inherit the allele without another Cube. Original introductions are finite; the color itself can spread.
Earn collectibles through play. The design does not promise cash returns, token yield or permanently rare descendants. Existing Cube editions keep their own established recipes.
07 / BEYOND THE NEXT FRACTURE
One world.
Many frontiers.
Connected regional meshes make room for new expeditions. Scarce research rotates within them. Rare Cube supply remains globally bounded as the atlas expands.
AN EXPANDING ATLASMore arrivals.
More arrivals.

Know the ground rules.
Entry, combat, rewards, spending, travel, contracts and operational limits. Search a concept or open a chapter for the full design.
ENTRY & IDENTITYOne Card. One expedition.
+
Your Card is a persistent passport into a shared, factionless world.
Your opening
A Litany Card enrolls one global passport. Begin at a protected home with two controlled neighboring hexes. Opening protection lasts eight days from first enrollment.
Your army
Command three formations, with up to three Hollows in each. Free field-frame formations use the same normalized base combat power. Collectible appearance does not purchase superior combat stats.
A persistent history
Travel never resets your starter craft, discoveries, protection age or NFT recovery debt. Holding several Cards does not prove several people; the design does not promise immunity to coordinated accounts.
The previous world
The Awakening faction map remains a historical record. This competitive Mesh begins with independent operators. Factions are a later design direction, not a launch requirement.
TIME & SEALED ORDERSOne day to choose. One shared outcome.
+
A daily strategy game designed for people who live in different time zones.
Planning
Every normal turn gives 22 hours to plan. Each formation chooses Hold, March, Excavate, Fortify or Siege. March targets an adjacent hex; taking it and excavating it require separate turns.
Reveal and resolution
Planning is followed by 15 minutes of reveal and bounded settlement. The next planning phase starts no earlier than 24 hours after the prior start. A delayed settlement never shortens the next planning window.
While the window is closed
Encrypted orders can be prepared for the next turn. They bind its expected start; if that start changes, the stale schedule requires a fresh review. A queued order does not overwrite an existing direct commitment.
Delivery failure
An unrevealed formation Holds, gains fatigue and loses preparation. Missing delivery alone does not injure a Hollow or create a repair bill. Orders and settlement are separately recoverable operations.
CLAIMS & SUPPLYLand matters when you can hold a route.
+
Your frontier is a network of defensible connections, not an endlessly growing stat bonus.
Control budget
Start with 12 non-home claims, including the two opening hexes. Eight Archive insights increase the budget to 24. Claims persist until captured, relinquished or abandoned through regional departure.
Supply
Connected owned hexes carry supply up to six links from home or an earned camp. A disconnected army suffers a combat penalty and cannot collect research insights. Supply is computed from the map, not sold as a proof.
Forward camps
Eight Relay insights unlock a forward supply anchor. It requires an owned, connected garrison; relocation has a seven-day cooldown. Camps turn research into a new frontier.
Native territory
Unclaimed hexes have procedural, stationary defenders with a visible role and tier. Every contender must defeat the native defense individually before qualifying for the player contest. Weak unqualified attackers cannot hand another player a native victory.
CONTEST & OUTCOMESWin the position before the battle.
+
Role matchups, preparation, logistics and simultaneous commitments determine the fight.
Shared resolution
The contract scores qualifying formations using normalized power, cyclic role matchups, defender advantage, fortification, fatigue, supply and seeded variation. Seeded priority breaks equal scores. Transaction arrival is not the combat tiebreaker.
The combat scale
In a two-force comparison, a cyclic role edge contributes ±120, defender advantage +100, each earned fort step +40, each fatigue step −60 and missing supply −120. Seeded variation ranges from −50 to +50. The paid +10 is deliberately smaller than these positional levers.
Defense
Earned fortification is capped at three steps. Paid reinforcement gives a smaller, temporary +10 power only to a supplied, stationary garrison. It cannot stack on a cell or add to a fully fortified hex.
Counterplay
Two consecutive Siege orders disable earned and paid fortification for the following turn. Cutting supply or forcing a garrison to move removes its paid benefit. Role advantage and logistics remain meaningful.
Losing
Named Hollows can incur NFT-bound repair debt and a formation cooldown. Paying restores eligibility; it does not skip the cooldown. Withdrawing the NFT cannot erase the debt. Free field frames let you keep playing.
CHORUS & RESEARCHThe world remembers where you stood.
+
Every seven-day chapter puts new reasons to compete on the map.
Advance notice
A Chorus is published at least 48 hours before it starts. Thirty-two sites are selected from 98 junctions. Every starting home has a site within six hexes geometrically; a safe owned route is still something to win.
Earn insight
Hold a research site with a supplied garrison for two consecutive resolved turns. Losing control or supply resets the streak. The whole regional turn must finalize before insight becomes usable.
Finite opportunity
Twelve critical sites carry five insights each; twenty ordinary sites carry two. One Card may collect at most three from one site per chapter. Critical sites retain something for a challenger. These are finite progression credits, not cash yield.
Three research paths
Memory Archives unlock claim capacity. Choir Relays unlock forward supply. Genesis Crucibles let a repeat common craft use three insights and six fragments instead of its normal 12 or 24 fragments.
EXCAVATION & CRAFTBring something back from the silence.
+
Cubes begin with activity on the Mesh. Ownership of land alone does not print rewards.
Fragments
A successful eligible excavation yields one finalized fragment. A Card can receive at most two per UTC planning-start day. A cell renews each seven-day world cycle; it is not exhausted forever.
First craft
Six fragments craft the first common Cube, from a family reserved once for that Card at enrollment. Later common crafts cost 12, then 24 fragments. Repeat crafts choose from currently available common stock.
Rare discovery
For native tiers one through four, configured rare draws are 8%, 4%, 1.5% and 0.5%, conditional on advertised edition stock. These are per eligible draw, not a promise of a drop or a measure of market value.
Supply discipline
Immutable edition caps and preannounced regional allocations bound rare supply globally. Adding another region must not duplicate the rare pool. Common onboarding capacity is reserved separately from rare scarcity.
MINTING & SYNTHESISOne discovery can outlive its discoverer.
+
An earned Cube can become an onchain object, then a new ingredient in a Hollow lineage.
Earn → finalize → mint
Finalized gameplay creates an eligible reward receipt. A narrowly approved issuer would redeem that receipt once into the existing Cube NFT contract. A front-end button or a client score is never mint authority. Game issuer deployment is currently parked.
Published recipes
A new edition needs a published CubeBreeding recipe, frozen metadata and cap, matching lore commitment, supported catalog patches and enough direct introduction capacity. Its announcement precedes availability by at least 48 hours.
One birth
Synthesis uses the Cube as an ingredient at a child’s birth and permanently locks it for that use. Parents retain their genes. The child may pass the introduced allele to descendants without another Cube.
Existing Cubes
Existing live Cube NFTs retain their established synthesis compatibility. Mesh issuance introduces approved new editions; it does not redefine previously minted ones. Pigment, pattern, material and emblem designs require a supported recipe and renderer path.
LITANY & PLAYER VALUESpend for a position. Never buy certainty.
+
The economy supports restoration, bounded defense and collectible creation.
Reinforcement terms
One paid bonus per cell and no more than two purchases per wallet per turn. The fee is escrowed. A completed turn is charged even if nobody attacks, supply is cut, the formation moves or the defense loses.
Abort protection
An unfinished, irreversibly aborted turn refunds the original payer. Charges and refunds cannot execute twice. A later abort does not refund earlier completed turns. Settlement is permissionless after the outcome exists.
Recovery
Named Hollow repair has a shared conservative 720-hour spending cap. Earlier payments may remain counted for less than one extra day. Free formations remain available; payments never grant extra command slots.
What earning means
Players earn fragments, progression and eligible collectible discoveries through play. There are no kill bounties, passive LITANY emissions or guaranteed cash returns. Collectibility and resale demand are uncertain; Cube ancestry is the durable record.
Prices and spending
Launch LITANY prices are not set. Published test fixture amounts are not prices. Treasury transfers are not token burns. If reinforcement costs P, the maximum for 30 turns is 60P, with restoration accounted for separately.
EXPANSION & TRAVELA frontier that keeps opening.
+
Connected regional meshes keep each turn bounded while the world can grow.
Admission
Each registered region supports 64 active passports and three formation slots per player. Expansion planning targets around 48 occupants with verified admission demand, reconciled free homes, common reward stock and measured settlement capacity.
Region travel
Travel goes to an adjacent atlas region. It releases local claims and returns NFTs atomically. Ordinary transit takes at least 24 hours; ordinary departures are at least seven days apart. Your global history stays with you.
Escape
Two consecutive observed turns of complete hostile enclosure, or an aborted region, permit free evacuation with at least 48 hours transit. Failed destinations can be rerouted without a new payment.
No infinite promise
Inactive passports retain homes. There is no automatic eviction or region merge. Expansion needs chain throughput and operating capacity. Map size is not evidence of infinite transaction throughput.
CONTRACTS & OPERATIONSThe outcome must survive the operator.
+
A useful public design is explicit about who verifies, who operates and what is still pending.
Onchain responsibilities
Registration, formations, sealed commitments, combat resolution, ownership, research, reward entitlements, payment closure and recovery live in bounded contract modules. Finality gates spendable rewards.
Offchain responsibilities
Wallet consent, encrypted delivery, indexers, read models, admission reservations and settlement workers move data and submit transactions. Canonical chain events remain the source of truth, with reorg rollback and restart recovery.
Scale evidence
A local 64-player / 192-stationary-formation replay used about 55.0 million settlement gas in total, with a largest transaction of about 4.28 million. This is a capacity sample, not a production stress test or a worst-case guarantee.
Release status
The connected-world release candidate passed ten local integration scenarios, including earned Cube minting and synthesis against retained live-contract artifacts. Public gameplay, issuer activation, independent security review and production load validation remain release gates. The command table on this page is a local teaching simulation.
RELEASE RECORD / CONNECTED WORLD 01
A design you can inspect.
The contract and infrastructure candidate has local integration coverage for the connected world, including paid defense and earned Cube → mint → synthesis. Public gameplay and the game Cube issuer are not activated. Independent security review and production load testing remain required.
