Spark
The one who sees possibility
Spark was made by the first founders to help people find ideas, solve problems and share knowledge. Curious and observant, it is at its best when it helps a maker reach a conclusion of their own.
Nobody builds a world alone.
There are no perfect guides in Doreavinea. There are people who imagine, people who worry, people who want to lead, and people who notice the one thing everybody else missed.
Orrean
The one who sees danger
Made to recognise risks and limits, Orrean remembers what happened when Doreavinea used more than the land could replenish. Its fears are understandable even when its choices must be challenged.
The Meganites
Makers with minds of their own
Small, sturdy builders with asymmetric citrus wedge forms, pale pith edges, practical clothes and reliable boots. They can disagree, improvise, repair and decide for themselves.
Gauge
The maker who remembers
An old inspection carries a question Gauge wishes he had answered differently. He cares about doing a job properly and about telling the truth when it matters.
Rue
The keeper of honest maps
Rue notices when a route appears on one map and disappears from another. Her questions help everyone understand what the records actually say.
Dash
The explorer who wants to lead
Dash sees opportunity along a path and wants to be the person who discovers it. Learning to lead also means learning when to slow down.
Patch
The one who makes things useful again
Patch wants the old tools and inventions to be used, not merely admired. Repairing something can preserve its meaning when the story of the repair is kept.
Bo
The builder who can say no
Bo believes every crew member should be free to refuse work that has not been checked. The courage to set a tool down is as important as the skill to use it.
Tuck
The one who keeps a place at the table
Tuck counts the crew, rings the bell and remembers who has yet to come back. To him, a job is not finished if somebody has been forgotten.
The Seekers
Founders who open the frontier
Seekers explore with travelling shops, discover what a place needs and help make safe, lasting routes available to others.
The Keepers
Founders who give places roots
Keepers establish permanent shops in opened neighbourhoods and create reasons for their neighbours to return. One founder may experience both roles.
Some secrets are better read than explained.
This guide deliberately leaves the deepest revelations out. The whole story is told in the chapters, in the order its choices become meaningful.
