Every villager has a day
They wake at dawn, gather wood and stone, cook, chat and turn in at night. You guide the village; they find their own way through the day.

Life around the fire
Lead a small tribe from its first night to its first winter. Every villager lives their own day, the valley changes with the seasons, and the fire is the place everyone comes back to.
Keep the fire alive
The fire gives warmth, light and hot food. Feed it and it holds back the cold night. Let it fade and everyone feels it.
Ready for winter
Smoke meat, dry what the rain soaked and fill the stores before the first frost.
Seasons you can feel
Rain soaks the ground, fog rolls in at dawn and snow piles up on the roofs. Around the fire ring, the snow melts away.
A living valley
Trees blossom in spring and drop their leaves in autumn, deer graze at the forest edge, and the wild goes on beyond your camp.
The elders say
Laws of the village
Every village lives by its own laws. Proclaim one at the hearthstone, and the whole village changes how it lives.
-
Day of Rest
“On the fireside day no one goes to the woods.”
-
Down Tools at Dark
“When the light goes, we lay down our tools.”
-
No Job Left Half-Done
“What we start, we finish before we sleep.”
-
Share What You Know
“Whoever masters a trade tells it at the fire.”
-
Sweat Lodge
“Hot stones, steam and a warm night's sleep.”
Some laws pull against each other: Down Tools at Dark or No Job Left Half-Done, never both.
The ember is lit.
