I
The ground gives
Every hill, cliff and riverbank can be dug. Not cubes: true shapes, smooth slopes, hollows you carve by hand. Cut a cellar under your hall, a stair into a cliff, a road through the mountain.
A Celtic survival game
The old fire still burns
Beltane is survival and crafting in a world of myth. The ground is solid all the way down and none of it is blocks. Dig into it, follow the caves under it, raise a hall on top of it, and walk out to where the map stops being kind.
Valheim earns you the afterlife. Beltane is about how far you'll carry the fire while you're still alive.
What you do here
II
Below the roots
Tunnels run under every land and join into caverns so wide your torchlight never finds the far wall. Follow them down. Find what lives there, and what it guards.
III
Iron from stone
Raise a workbench, a forge, an anvil. Turn ore into blades, tools and armor, and mend what the road breaks. Every station you build opens the next.
IV
Hearth and table
Roast on the spit. Simmer in the cauldron. A good meal carries you farther than a good sword, and every dish lends its own strength for the road.
V
Steel and string
Learn the reach of each weapon. Bows for the far threat, blades for the near. Wear the sets you forge from what the land gives up, and choose your fights.
VI
Bring your kin
Host a world and invite your friends. Raise one hall, share one fire, go deeper as a band than any of you would go alone.
VII
Follow the spark
Teni, a spark of living flame, finds you on your first night. From the first fire to the hearth, the hunt, the forge and the deep caves, Teni shows you the old ways, then lets you walk on your own.
VIII
Older than the roads
Beltane is built on Celtic myth: the fire festival at the turn of summer, the old powers in the hills, the Otherworld close behind them. The lore is in the land, not in a codex.
Built to be community and mod friendly. Modding support is planned for later.
Carry the fire
Light a torch at the edge of the known. Every step past it is yours.
No two lands alike
Every world is grown fresh: meadows and taiga, desert and frozen tundra, coasts, caverns, and islands hung in open sky.
Meadows
Soft hills, first fires, the start of every road.
Grassland
Open ground. Nowhere to hide, from anything.
Taiga
Pine, cold rivers and long shadows.
Tundra
Wind, ice, and the fire you brought.
Desert
Sun-struck stone that hides its water.
Tropical
Green so thick the paths close behind you.
Islands
Shores past the reach of the mainland.
Caverns
A second world under the first.
Islands in the sky
Look up. Land hangs in open air above the clouds, with its own trees, its own water, its own dangers.
The skypath
A road with nothing under it. The skypath runs between the high islands for anyone willing to walk it.
