Vigil

Field notes

A small island at the edge of the map, where the day goes gold, then rose, then blue. The lighthouse wakes at dusk. The fireflies come out to count the stars. Everything here is yours to change, and the island remembers what you build.

Cartography

Name an island

Every name grows a different island: its own coast, peak, weather and sheep. The same name always grows the same island, and each keeps its own saved changes.
