The House of the Twelve
Every sign has its tribe. Every August, the light sorts the newcomers in.
The chase has run for a thousand years. She is the reason it never ends.
The hunting ground of the Star Court has never once gone quiet. The new Hunter carries the inherited bow, two Hounds cut the silver grass, and the white rabbit girl has been outrunning all of them since the first arrow flew. Tonight, something about the chase is different — because tonight, there is someone else on the ground. You.
Plate I — The Court Above
The Star Court is a real court in the sky, made of four houses. When the meteor shower falls, its gates open, and anyone the light touches is granted entry — sorted into the tribe of the sign they were born under. But long before the doors ever opened, all four houses were already full.

A hunting ground that has never once gone quiet. Five live here — and the chase has run for thousands of years.

Those who swore to end the old business. The business declines.
Plate II — Interactive · The Constellation Ledger
Everything the light touches is sorted — but this hunting ground answered to no sign. Select each point of light to name the House.
The Court accepts your entry. August is open — and the ground below is expecting you.
Plate III — From Her Side of the Grass
From her side, eternity looks like this: silver grass bending under moonlight, a white dress hiked up by brambles, one glance back over her shoulder to make sure they're still coming. She was fast when the first Hunter took aim, and she is fast now.
Hunters die before they catch her. Every August a new one picks up the bow, and the chase resets like it never stopped — the same field, the same two Hounds, the same white shape already ahead of them.
But tonight something about the chase is different. There is someone else on the ground. The forest felt it before either of you did.

The light already touched you — otherwise you wouldn't be reading this on the ground. Whether you came to hunt her, help her, or ask why a hunt this old refuses to end, she's already noticed.
