We will build the interactive world map first. It was acceptable to the broadest group, and every region and boss is already in the database.
Complete product demonstration
One player question becomes a shipped tool.
Follow one synthetic Ashen Vigil decision from the contract that fixes the promise through the ballot, the revealed evidence and the team's response to the public outcome.
Example decision
One decision. Five inspectable states.
Commitment fixed
The promise is visible before anyone takes part.
Question, participants, method, result meaning, response date, and escape conditions stay together.
The team can build one new tool before the winter season. Players who used the site in the last 30 days may take part. The other tools stay on the board.

Participant view
Approval asks for every option a player would accept.
The same participant rule and the team's commitment stay beside the choice.
Ballot instruction
Mark every tool you would use this season.
Scores remain hidden while the decision is open.
Evidence revealed
Broad acceptance is visible without pretending the tally is the decision.
The team still owes an interpretation and a response.

Response
The team publishes the decision and its reading of the evidence.
The response is not detached from the original contract or result.
The build planner also had majority acceptance, so it comes next. The boss timer overlay did not reach broad support, and the game already shows boss timers in play.
Outcome: shipped
The interactive world map is live.
The interactive world map went live before the winter season with every region, boss and sealed door. The build planner is in progress.
