GRIM MEDIEVAL SURVIVAL · IN DEVELOPMENT
The dead walk the valley. Hold what you build.
You wake on a cot in Ashwick, a walled river town still standing after the dead rose. Learn to live off the land, claim ground beyond the wall, and keep a fire burning through the night.
THE GAME
Ashwick: a smithy, an inn, a market and a watch on the wall. Every house can be walked into, and its people keep their own hours.
Ashwick's ground isn't yours to take. The hills beyond are. Light a claim fire, keep it fed, and the land is yours.
When the bell rings, the gate shuts. The dead come out of the treeline for whatever you have built. Hire a guard; some nights they come in force.
Twig, wood, then stone. Raise your home piece by piece from the same kit the town itself was built with.
YOUR FIRST NIGHT
The claim fire is no altar: logs stacked in a ring of stones. Feed it and Lark Hill is yours. Let it go cold and the land slips away.
Build walls before dusk, find a guard who will stand a watch for coin and bread, and see the night through. Every outpost after that works the same way, a little farther from the wall.
