Before the first wall stood or the first frost broke, someone struck a light in the dark and refused to let it die. The First Embers were the handful who lit the Bloomlands when it was still only dark. Only 50 will ever exist — and each one carries a founding player into the game.
The First Ember isn't a badge. It's a Legendary Skill you actually play, in any deck, any run. It's strong and unmistakably special to own — but it costs a quarter of your deck to run, so it never wins the game for you.
Each morning, +1 Energy. A standing personal flame — your camp simply runs warmer than everyone else's, from Day 1, every run.
On a night that would kill you, survive at 1 Health with a defensive bump instead. But the ember spends itself — Kindle goes dark for the rest of the run. A steady engine, or a single dramatic save. Never both.
6 of your 24 deck points — a real sacrifice at 12 cards, so it's a choice, not an auto-include.
Skill — slots into any deck, any class, any scenario. Tradable. Additive, never gating: every level stays beatable without it.
Legendary — gold keyline, shimmer, and a serialized founder wax-seal (№1–50) that no later card can ever carry.
A permanent, serialized №1–50 badge — your founding status recorded on-chain. Your name in the Bloomlands' opening chapter.
Founding buyers are recorded on-chain. A community thank-you to early supporters — and the card itself: a real, playable Legendary you can run in any deck.
Most of it goes straight into the game's launch — the founding sale funds the liquidity pool that lets $SNAP trade, and that pool is locked forever (we publish the on-chain receipt). The rest funds development and a small thank-you to the first 50. You're not buying an investment — you're helping stand up a game you want to play, and getting a genuinely great, serialized card for it.
