Your game already keeps a record.
Skald writes the novel.

How it works

1. Connect a worldPoint Skald at a server you play — its save and its log. It reads snapshots, never the live world, and only when someone has actually played.
2. It builds the scaffoldArrivals, deaths, journeys, what was built and what it was built of. Facts nobody had to write down, because the game wrote them already.
3. You write the originWho you were before, what you want, and who is telling the story. This part is yours — the record cannot supply it.
4. It narrates, you approveEach beat becomes prose. Anything the engine invented is declared, and nothing becomes canon until you accept it.

From a real chronicle

She stood up first. I want you to see her as she was on that bank: not a girl newly spilled into a strange place but a woman finished, thirty years of the line in her shoulders, soaked to the collarbone, already assessing our state. Water, height, cover, sightlines.

The rules it writes under

• The record never changes. Invention fills silence; it does not rewrite what happened.
• Nothing becomes canon without the author. Proposal is cheap. Approval is not.
• The machinery is not the world. A respawn point is a save system, not an afterlife — so a death in the game is a wound in the telling.
• Your story is private by default. Publishing is a deliberate act, it is per book, and it is revocable.
• Prose only when published. A published book shows the novel, never the ledger behind it.
