Your cairn is the central act of Sanctuary. One stone per day. It joins the others. It cannot shrink. It cannot be taken. The cairn does not judge how long it took you to arrive — only that you did. Tap and hold the stone on the home screen when you feel steady.

The Ember is always burning, even when you cannot see it. Every action feeds it — placing a stone, writing, speaking with Dove, visiting the Grove. When it reaches fullness, it blooms — releasing stored energy and sometimes revealing a flower no one else has found yet. The Ember never resets when you miss a day. It only waits.

Every morning, the dew collects on the garden overnight. There is always something waiting. Sometimes small. Sometimes rare. One gathering per day — it resets at dawn. You cannot stockpile it. The practice of returning each day is the gift itself.

Daily offerings are six small invitations. You are not required to complete them — but those who do find the path easier to see. Tap any offering and it will guide you where you need to go. Weekly Rites ask more. They reward more. Fragments sometimes fall from completed Rites — gather them and bring them to the Forge.

The Meadow has two faces, and both are about letting things grow slowly.

The Journal: a private place to put down a day's weather. Find it on the Self page or via the daily offering. Words are seeds — they take time to mean something.

The Minigame: inside Rites, you'll find twelve plots. Plant a flower seed using dew. Wait. Tend. Eventually it blooms, and when it does, you may keep it for the Garden archive — or harvest it for petals.

Every flower you bloom joins your Garden archive (inside Rites · Garden tab). Tap any bloomed flower to read its meaning, its blessing, and its one small gift. Wear one at a time — your blessing imbues your days with something specific. Common flowers carry small flavor. Legendary flowers change the way your stone card and home screen feel. You cannot buy flowers. They come when they come.

Others are here. You cannot see their faces or know their names. What you see is what they carry: their level, their relics, their cairn. When you hold someone's words, you are saying: I see you. What you carried was real. Tap any name to open their Stone Card.

Four stalls. The Shop sells stone skins and grove flair for petals. The Reliquary holds your earned relics — amulets, cloaks, sigils — wear what you've earned. The Sets page tracks set lineages: equip a full set and a harmony unlocks. The Forge turns fragments dropped from Rites into something permanent. The legendary ones are noticed.

Your Stone Card is what others see when they tap your name in the Grove. It carries your level title, your cairn, your relics worn, your flower blessing, and (if you have an active set lineage) the harmony you've earned. Elders glow gold. Not because they are better. Because they have been longer in the dark.

Your compass is a portrait of your practice. There is no right shape. Some people journal deeply and almost never visit the Grove. Others bloom through community. The compass reflects what you are — not what you should be.
