The Founding Expedition has opened
The first city had a secret. Your family kept it.
A tablet that should not exist. A war that never ended. A city that remembers under three different skies. Find out what your family was protecting, and what they were protecting you from. The pilot is free to play now.
The first 777 Founding Witnesses, the Uruk 777, will help shape how the Chronicle is remembered. Every decision they seal is inherited by the players who come after.
777 tablets. One founding history.
Each Founding Witness receives a permanent Tablet Number. When the 777th tablet is sealed, no one else can become one of the Uruk 777.
A world already in motion
Every scene is hand-illustrated. Here is a glimpse of the places you will go.
Everyone after the Uruk 777 inherits the history they seal.
Shape the canon
Your choices help decide which readings and discoveries become official Chronicle history.
Carry a permanent number
Every Founding Witness receives a Tablet Number recorded in the Hall of Witnesses. It can never be claimed again.
Enter the Chronicle Society
Founders gather to decode fragments, debate theories, and vote on the Canon Decisions that shape the telling.
Be remembered by future players
Later players enter the world the Uruk 777 shaped.
Before empires, before scripture, before history, there was Uruk.
The tablets told one version. The myths kept another. The powers the old world remembered as the Anunnaki were never as safely gone as the stories promised. Something beneath the first city is still awake, and the Chronicle has reopened.
The first Canon Decision
A recovered tablet survives in two readings, and the scribes cannot agree which the Chronicle should carry. The Uruk 777 will decide which reading is sealed as canon, and every player after them inherits it.
A preview of how founders shape the telling. The first reading opens when the founding cohort gathers.
Season One: The Witness Returns
Season One begins in the ruins and memory of Uruk, four thousand years from the room where you are sitting, and that distance turns out to be thinner than anyone believed. Your choices set your stance, color how the Chronicle is told, and carry a cost.
I was one of the Uruk 777.
The Uruk 777 are recorded permanently. Some names are public, some remain sealed, but every Founding Tablet carries a number that can never be claimed again.
- Tablet #001 · Sealed
- Tablet #002 · Awaiting Witness

The expedition continues beyond the page.
Inside the Chronicle Society, Founding Witnesses decode fragments, debate theories, receive Scribe Dispatches, and gather for Canon Councils. Some tablets cannot be opened alone.

The Gate Remembers
A first word from the world. Something old is awake, and it has been waiting for you.

The Epic of Gilgamesh
Long before Trials of the Chosen, Uruk gave the world its first great story. A new video series retells the Epic of Gilgamesh. Watch it, and meet the king our world remembers.
History is not only written by kings.
It is written by those who survive long enough to tell the story.
Uruk was the first city of kings, but the tablets left gaps. Names were erased. Gates were sealed and forgotten. The Anunnaki became myth.
Now the Chronicle has reopened. The first 777 Witnesses will not merely read what was found. They will decide what is remembered.
When the last tablet is sealed, the Founding Expedition closes.
