the town, stood up
The rotunda, inhabited.

A rough first walk through the ringed city — the lantern tower at the center, the streets as rings, the five roads at the rim. Every house you see is a real deed from the same walk the streets page speaks; a bare plot renders bare. Not a jail: it is your house, and the door carries your name.

the gate

Step through and the town is drawn live from the public walk. Mouse to look, WASD to move, F to fly as your drone.

Rough cut, on purpose. What you walk is the record: the rings are the streets in founding order, a lit door is a shingle with stock on the boards, and the lantern's one beam lands where it lands. Decorating your own rooms comes with its own posted slots — the text page is where founding and keeping happen for now.
