The map counts completed chapters recorded when holders return. Every 12 expeditions begins a new story cycle through these places. Discoveries are fictional; no currency, tokens, or financial rewards are issued.

ONE CHOICE. A CONTINUING JOURNEY.

What will your demon do?

Try a sample role
01 / DISCOVER

Explorer

Follow strange signals and uncover rooms, relics, and paths.

02 / RESTORE

Builder

Turn discoveries into bridges, shelters, and gathering places.

03 / PROTECT

Keeper

Guard the ember, preserve stories, and welcome what returns.

All roles contribute equally. Changes and pauses begin next expedition; your first assignment joins the current one. Keep holding to continue. A transfer or self-transfer ends the old participation journey; the current owner can choose a new role. Completed chapters remain in the demon’s history.

THE CINDER CHRONICLE

A life beyond the pixels.

Small discoveries. Shared work. A story worth keeping.

CHAPTER03CYCLE 1
EXPLORER · ORIGINAL

Discover: The Ash Library

Cinderkin #1074 took the lantern path to The Ash Library and returned with a fragment of a map that seemed to recognize its bearer. In this fictional chapter, its palette trait (Ember orange) became the expedition’s calling sign. The Army’s record now holds one more discovery.

STORY KEEPSAKEa silent mask

A record of a silent mask was added to your Chronicle. This is a story keepsake, not a token or financial reward.

CHAPTER02CYCLE 1
EXPLORER · ORIGINAL

Discover: Whisper Well

Cinderkin #1074 took the lantern path to Whisper Well and mapped a passage that appeared only when the lanterns dimmed. In this fictional chapter, its palette trait (Ember orange) became the expedition’s calling sign. The Army’s record now holds one more discovery.

STORY KEEPSAKEa shard of dawn

A record of a shard of dawn was added to your Chronicle. This is a story keepsake, not a token or financial reward.

CHAPTER01CYCLE 1
EXPLORER · ORIGINAL

Discover: The Ember Gate

Cinderkin #1074 took the lantern path to The Ember Gate and returned with a fragment of a map that seemed to recognize its bearer. In this fictional chapter, its palette trait (Ember orange) became the expedition’s calling sign. The Army’s record now holds one more discovery.

STORY KEEPSAKEa lantern seed

A record of a lantern seed was added to your Chronicle. This is a story keepsake, not a token or financial reward.

Your story. Your own pace.

How does the automatic Chronicle work?

Choose a role once. Each seven-day expedition closes on Monday at 05:00 UTC. When you return, the server verifies current ownership and records any completed expeditions from your uninterrupted participation journey. No daily tasks, claims, or background AI generation. Long absences catch up in batches of 26 chapters.

Does this change my NFT or Devilution?

No. Your NFT’s holding clock, artwork, and metadata remain unchanged. Your available Devilution form adds a different fictional path to the story. Roles carry no monetary advantage, and story keepsakes are not assets or rarity upgrades.

What is shared with the Army?

The map displays aggregate contributions, not wallet addresses. A verified current owner can read the demon’s recorded chapters, including earlier journeys. Downloading a Chronicle is optional; it contains the token number and fictional stories, not your wallet address.

What happens if I stop visiting or transfer?

You do not need to visit every week. Stay in the same continuous holding journey and your missed stories will be recorded when you return. Transfers and self-transfers stop that journey. Unrecorded chapters from an ended journey are not backfilled; completed chapters remain. Pause your role whenever you want, effective next expedition.
