Chapter 1
The Merchant of Mischief
Origin Story •Jun 23, 2026
No one remembers who carved the very first Sprout. They only remember what happened after. A traveler traded it for a small button. The button became a handmade bracelet. The bracelet became a lantern. The lantern became a place to sleep beneath unfamiliar stars. Every exchange left both travelers with something more valuable than what they started with. The Sprout was never meant to be collected. It was meant to move. Trade generously. Trade boldly. Keep the story growing.
