One fire. Five worlds.

The world assembles itself around the flame as you scroll — and the fire grows with the eras: ember, wildfire, tamed, kept.

Era 01 · Forest — night woods, the fire on bare earth

The fire is contained.

Era 02 · Grassland — dawn gold, the horizon opens

The hearth is raised.

Era 03 · Forge quarter — bricks fly in, the city grows

Bricks fly in; the city grows.

Era 04 · A home — the hearth room, inhabited

The chimney becomes a mantel.

Keep the fire.

The fire never changed. The rooms did.

Era 05 · The mark — the last hearth

The Kept Bonfire — graded still
Era 01 · Forest

The fire is contained.

Night woods edge to edge. Eight stones fly in and ring the flame — the first human act.

Arrive → stones seat one by one → exit through the trees
Era 02 · Grassland

The hearth is raised.

Dawn opens the horizon and the fire runs WILD — bigger than its frame, throwing sparks. The stones rise into a raised hearth; tents and cookfire smoke hold the corners.

Stones lift → two courses + cap → exit through the gate
Era 03 · Forge quarter

Bricks fly in; the city grows.

Twenty-six bricks mortar into a chimney — and TAME the fire: each course seats and the wild flame steps down with it. Scroll back and it takes itself apart.

Courses 1–5 → arch span → hearth floor → exit through the forge arch
Era 04 · A home

The chimney becomes a mantel.

The columns consolidate into jambs and a shelf; the room furnishes itself — rug, chair, books, a cat — and the city glows through the window.

Consolidate → rug unrolls → furniture arrives → pull back: a home among homes
Era 05 · The mark

The fire is kept.

The pull-back reveals a night field of houses, each with its own kept fire — they were always there. Every fire converges into a single ember, and the arch draws around it: the structure forms around the fire.

Pull back → the field of hearths → converge → First Light → rest

Keep the fire.

The fire never changed. The rooms did.
