The Hardcore Chronicles πŸ””πŸŒ

Welcome to Aterra, where every month gets its own permanent chapter, its own legends, and usually at least one player who says, β€œI definitely had a plan.”

Each monthly chapter is called a Chronicle. A Chronicle preserves its approved name, lore, official standings, titles, memorials, finale records, and the world that carried everyone through the month.

The monthly rhythm

  1. A new Chronicle is prepared for the next calendar month.
  2. Five complete names and lore packages are generated for review.
  3. An authorized administrator approves one package.
  4. Official standings are frozen before finale PvP begins.
  5. The Last Bell closes the outgoing Chronicle at the legitimate boundary.
  6. The outgoing world enters the Final Stand, with PvP active for at least eight hours.
  7. A validated and separately approved replacement world may be installed only after every safety gate passes.
  8. The completed Chronicle remains part of Aterra’s permanent history.

Important distinction

Approving a Chronicle name does not upload or approve a replacement world. The Chronicle package and the staged world package are separate approvals with separate audit trails. Fancy name first, actual planet later. πŸͺ
