The first chamber of Vouni on a phone: a pale stone floor plan, a blue pilgrim orb, a gold shard and a glowing alcove.
First Light, chamber 1 of 57 in Vouni. Par is 17 moves.

Six dawns, three awake

Each dawn is a real place in Cyprus with its own rule. Three are playable today, with 117 chambers between them. The other three are still asleep.

  • Vouni

    A Persian palace burned to ash in 380 BCE. Wraiths of the old court still walk the halls.

    Wraiths. 57 chambers.

  • Kourion

    A Greek-Roman city on a sunlit sea-cliff, where light itself is shelter from the dark.

    Sunbeams. 30 chambers.

  • Paphos

    Aphrodite stepped from rose-coloured sea-foam here at dawn.

    Asleep.

  • Idalion

    City of Adonis, the vegetation god who dies each winter and rises each spring.

    Asleep.

  • Soloi

    A ruined basilica named for Solon. Its mosaics still bend the morning light through broken mirrors.

    Light beams and mirrors. 30 chambers.

  • Salamis

    Sun-bleached eastern ruins, where every step on warm stone trips a forgotten switch.

    Asleep.

The realm select screen: six cards for Vouni, Kourion, Paphos, Idalion, Soloi and Salamis, three of them marked as sleeping.
