dragons die. their names don't.

"i kept the hearth. take the wind."

- Pegs

The contract

Hatch them. Name them. Carry them home.

Hatch a named flight

Every dragon arrives with a class, a morph, a voice, and a chair waiting at the long table.

Fly into the reach

Choose supplies, formation, directives, and the route. Push farther while the hearth is still reachable.

Lose some. Remember all.

Permadeath is not a failure screen. The names stay carved, and the bones arm the next flight.

Why it hurts

The roster is a relationship, not a spreadsheet.

Dragons bond when they fly together. They grieve when bonded allies fall. A great flight is a little family with wings, wounds, habits, and a table full of carved names waiting behind them.

  • 12 dragon classes with readable silhouettes and element-coded breath
  • Real-time tactical combat with formations, directives, bonds, and crit slow-mo
  • Persistent long-table memorial across runs
  • Bone economy: fallen dragons become equipment for the living
  • Three save slots for parallel campaigns
  • Pegs, the small dragon who kept the eggs warm through the Hush
