Bloodweight

the weight of blood. every bloodline begins as a single name pressed into wet ink. you carry it for as long as it lasts — and it will not last. each generation deals you ONE HEIR: their genome, their temperament, the realm's pressures faction by faction, and the chronicle the last hand left behind. you spend their life. then the page turns to the next. one hundred generations. one ledger. the Soul Teller writes down everything you do. ▸ BREED every heir is a knot of inherited tissue and inherited temperament — body, mind, word, hand. read them the way the chronicler does: not as numbers, but as a hand the family is dealt and forced to play. ▸ DECIDE the witan convenes. events strike without warning. the crucible tests the blood. you make the call, the ledger logs it, and every choice compounds down the generations. ▸ READ turn the page and read your house like a book — the heir illuminated, the chronicler's account of the age, the running weight of power, wealth, and the blood's own dream. a saga you don't watch so much as witness. ▸ END bloodlines fail. when yours does — and it will — the Soul Teller sets down the whole run in unsparing prose. there is no clean ending it leaves out. you will read about yourself. ▸ PROC GENESIS procedural everything: heirs, faces, names, events, factions, eras, mutation pressure, cultural memory — and the prose itself. no two ledgers read the same. when one line closes, the page opens for the next. so — when the Soul Teller finally reads your story back to you... what will it say?
