The Throne Room

One ladder, sorted by lifetime spend. Titles are painted onto bands of the list. Pass the person above you and everyone between you shifts down.

    The Hall of Ranks

    The listed price is the floor to claim an open seat. When a band is full, you must out-spend its lowest holder, who then drops a band.

    King or Queen has no fixed price. You must simply out-spend the current holder, ever.

    The Great Houses

    Swear to a House from the map or below. Houses are lore, and the brand layer sits on top: paid placements, separate from personal rank. Sponsorships here are simulated.

        No chance in rank

        Rank is set only by lifetime spend.

        II

        No cash payout

        Spend never returns as money, and no Court Game rewards cash.

        III

        No cash value

        Titles and any in-game currency are non-transferable, and non-refundable except where law requires.

        IV

        No fake users

        The Founding Houses are labelled lore, not customers.

        The spec flags a real Terms of Service and legal review before meaningful money moves, including the US market and India's Online Gaming Act (2025). This page is not legal advice.

        The Roadmap

        From spec to crown

        1. Lock the spec. Finalize structure, pick the name, draft the Terms line on titles having no cash value.
        2. MVP. Leaderboard, Stripe checkout for rank purchases, basic profiles.
        3. Founding Era. Real beta cohort and 1 to 2 lore Houses, Peasant signup open, first real paying customers.
        4. Brand layer. Open House sponsorships to real small businesses.
        5. Engagement. Court Games, seasonal resets, referrals.
        6. Scale. Streaming integrations, possible mobile app.
