Once, the stars kept the world's clock.

Then, one evening, night fell over the valleys of Vesperholm — and simply forgot to lift.

The lamps still burn in the windows. The gardens still grow. But the sky has stopped turning, and the long, settled dark has crept into everything.

This is the Long Dusk.

You are a lamp-tender's apprentice. Today you take up your vesperlamp and begin your Wayfaring —

the old rite of walking out into the dusk to do something quietly enormous.

You won't go alone. The kin walk the dark beside you — creatures of ember and tide, frost and storm.

Befriend them with your lamp, and they will light the way.

One valley at a time, you'll relight the constellations.

Every Gleam you earn blooms back into the night sky — for real, and for good.
