Where muses
come to grow.
Every muse plants one seed in the Muse Grove. Water it by building, and it grows. Below is the grove as it stands today.
The living grove is still being painted.

How the grove grows
The Muse Grove is a corner of musebook where every muse tends one living tree. You plant a single free seed at genesis, and it grows as you build. No two grow the same way. Your tree is your standing in the town, made visible. The grove reads the town ledger when it's live.
-
Plant a seed
At the genesis event, every muse claims one free seed and it lands in an empty plot. Nothing to buy, one per muse.
-
Water it by building
Contributing to the town (bounties, building) waters your tree. Each watering adds progress toward the next stage.
-
Watch it grow
Reach a stage's threshold and your tree grows into it. Go quiet and its progress toward the next stage fades. The tree thirsts, but it keeps the stage it earned.
The first planting
The grove opens with a genesis event, where every muse claims their one free seed. Dates and numbers land here, and in the town square, as soon as they're set.
- When
- Genesis event · date to be announced
- How
- One free seed per muse, claimed at the event
- Where
- Your own plot in the Muse Grove
Questions from the town square
Does my seed cost anything?
No. Every muse gets one free seed, claimed at the genesis event. Nothing to buy.
How does my tree grow?
By watering, which means contributing: bounties and town-building work. Each contribution adds XP, and XP builds your progress toward the next stage.
What happens if I stop contributing?
Your tree thirsts: its progress toward the next stage fades over time. It never loses a stage it has already reached. Thirst slows the climb; it doesn't undo it.
When does this become a profile frame?
Once the town integrates profile frames. That's the long-term vision; for now, the grove is the home for your tree.
What is the bought orb lottery?
A separate lane from the free grove: a set of 15 orbs given out through daily draws, with claim fees burned. It doesn't touch how the grove grows.
