THE CASCADE

a persistent multiplayer world you play in your terminal_

The Weave ran the land once: every mill, gate and warding fire. Then it forgot why, and the Long Winter came. Its dead machines still grind in the snow; survivors call the cold droning dread the Rime.

You are a Warden: you hold a rune the Weave still answers. Wake the old machines, raise a Wardstone, and build a Gard before Fimbulvetr, the Long Winter, scours it to frost.

Connect

No install. Your SSH key is your identity. Just:

ssh -p 2222 yourname@cascade.spawnpoint.dk

Tip: drop this in ~/.ssh/config so it is just ssh cascade, and so the Weave always knows you by the same rune:

Host cascade
  HostName cascade.spawnpoint.dk
  Port 2222
  User yourname
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  IdentitiesOnly yes

No SSH key yet? Run ssh-keygen -t ed25519 once, then connect.
