Season 1 is live

CASTAWAY

Push back the fog — together.

You wash ashore on a lonely island. Beyond the nearby isles lies a wall of fog, and only the Lighthouse can push it back. Every block of the world is earned by the whole server.

The twist

A world you uncover together

The map starts small. Everyone's effort feeds one shared Lighthouse, and each tier rolls the fog back and unlocks something new for the whole server.

🗼

The Lighthouse

Offer timber, stone, fish, relics and more at the altar. When every request is filled, the tier rises with a server-wide celebration.

🌫️

The Fog

The world border is a living wall of fog. Each tier pushes it back, revealing new islands. Even the live map only shows what's been uncovered.

🌊

The Tides

Every couple of hours the sea pulls back. Glowing Tide Caches wash up on the beaches, and low-tide fishing can hook a rare Sunken Relic.

✉️

Messages in a Bottle

Write a note, tuck a gift inside and throw it into the sea. Hours later it washes ashore for a stranger somewhere on the island.

⚓

Drifting Wrecks

Shipwrecks rise out of the fog with a crew of raiders guarding the hold. Rally a boat crew, take the ship and split the loot.

🐋

The Leviathan

Later in the season something enormous stirs in the deep. Everyone who helps bring it down earns scales the Lighthouse needs.

Season 1

The road ahead

Eight tiers from a tiny island to a cleared horizon. The highlighted tier is where the server is right now.
