A fallen star, a brass lantern, and everything written about them.
MOTE
Catch a fallen star, hatch it, name it letter by letter, and feed its light back until it is bright enough to go home. It keeps living while the lantern is shut.
Open the lantern →A TINY LIFE IN YOUR LANTERN
The gentle telling, in verse — the fall, the catching, the shapes a mote grows into, and letting it go. Safe to read to a child.
THE LANTERN THAT WENT DARK
The same meter, gone wrong: what becomes of a light that is caught, named, and then forgotten. Not safe to read to a child.
KEEPER'S FIELD GUIDE
Every rule in one place — growth, names, spirits, radiance, the gloom, the Hollow, fortune, the ending.
THE LINEAGE
Every form in order: four fixed shapes, the six-way branch, the Hollow, and the two rare stars.
THE LIGHT LINE
How radiance is drawn, from a bare spark to a full blaze — and how far below zero it goes.
