The Keeper’s Threshold · Illustration from the game
The Order of Keepers
Before you kept their stories,
someone kept yours.
A household gave you shelter. A mentor taught you to listen. Now she puts the stylus in your hand.
In the game’s fictional fellowship, children raised by the Order carry its deepest trust. Others arrive from courts and workshops. You owe no service for your shelter. You choose the duty.
Across four eras of Ethiopian history, successive Keepers inherit that duty: hear the people an official account might leave out, and decide what the future will remember.
“Someone is being left out of tomorrow. Go and learn their name.”
How the record is made
Every voice asks
something of you.
A narrative game of conversations, investigation and lasting choices. Follow one main journey in each era, with room to take the detours.
Follow the question.
Walk the places behind the testimony. Take an optional investigation when a story asks for a closer look.
Weigh the accounts.
Decide whose testimony belongs in the record. A clear instruction leads you onward; the judgment remains yours.
Leave something lasting.
Seal your inscription. Revisit it in your Chronicle, and see how later voices respond to what you preserved.
