Ledger
01
Cut a ledger mark
Persisted play starts with a ledger mark. This guide uses a disposable name and secret; a real player should choose their own.

02
Name the pilgrim
The name is the first persisted truth. It must be a real, available character name before any world play begins.
Type name Guide Ember
Rite
03
Choose a bloodline
Bloodline adds a small attribute lean. Humans are readable for a guide build because they are flexible and simple.
Type race human
Rite
04
Choose a discipline
Ranger opens with a weapon, a cloak, and two practical early skills, so the guide can show sheets without a fragile build.
Type class ranger

05
Choose an origin
Origins add starting items and a little history. Debt Runner gives a ration and lantern, both useful first-pack examples.

Add a stat focus
Focus is optional, but a visible +2 makes the review screen teach that creation choices affect real numbers.

07
Review before sealing
Review is the last safe pause. It shows attributes, vitals, starting skills, and kit before the character is made real.

08
Make the character real
Confirm creates the character sheet and moves the player from creation into the Ashen March start.
Type confirm
First Room
09
Read the threshold
After creation, look is the most important habit. It names the room, describes it, and lists obvious exits and interactables.

First Room
10
Inspect the newcomer notice
Named things in room text are usually inspectable. The notice points new players at help, who all, channels, parties, guilds, and mail.

Sheets
11
Check the pack
Inventory proves the character has real starting items, not a placeholder loadout.

Check equipped gear
Equipment shows what is already worn and how many slots are open for later progression.

Check known skills
The skills sheet tells the player what they can use now and what trainers can eventually teach.

Walk
14
Step north to the yard
Movement commands are plain directions. Each move returns a fresh room readout, so the player never needs a minimap to start.

Continue to the bridge
The early route stays safe while teaching that rooms are connected by authored exits, not menu buttons.

Turn toward the market
Branching directions matter immediately. West bends toward Mirela and the first quest.

Reach Mirela's stall
Mirela is a merchant, banker, and quest giver. The room text advertises those affordances directly.

18
Accept First Ash
Talking to named NPCs is how dialogue and quests begin. First Ash is the opening obligation.
Type talk mirela
Market
19
Read the shop list
Shop shows real stock and prices. Buying is optional here; the useful first lesson is learning what the stall can do.

Market

Read the bank ledger
Banks protect coin from death loss. New players should learn where the first ledger is before they need it.

End at Market Cross
Market Cross exposes another quest giver, a signpost, a readable feature, and the next lanes out.
