Twenty-six seats, twenty-six pigments
Circle of Houses
The alphabet stands in a wheel, A at the top. Around it sits a color wheel — each letter a mineral, amber at dawn walking the spectrum back to ochre. A Letter Path is three letters. Its color is those three pigments in one pot: house half, manner three-tenths, field two-tenths.
Mix a color
Choose which seat you are setting — house, manner, or field — then tap a letter. The well in the middle is the mix. That mix is the Letter Path’s color.
Setting the house. Tap a letter on the wheel.
The pot
Lichen with lichen and malachite
House 50 · manner 30 · field 20. Mixed in OKLab, the way pigments combine — not the way screens add light.

House of the Rebel
You say no when a rule has stopped serving people.
Old tables call this Pearson Outlaw · the necessary no — Fire · South · the first break. A likeness, not a creed. On the wheel this house sits Lichen.
A polite lie is still a lie. You are not against order. You are against dead order. A clean no makes room for a better yes.
The mineral scale
Every letter keeps one pigment. Vowels sit a little lighter. Tap any chip to set the house and keep mixing.
Allies
These three complete this house’s work.
A clean no and an unowned mind. Rebellion that has not become a brand. Freedom that can still refuse.
The Rebel names the dead rule. The Alchemist agrees to let the dead form actually die.
The Rebel strikes the match. The Trickster checks that the rule was actually lying before anything burns.
Enemies
These three work against it — a blind spot, not a villain.
Loyalty names change a betrayal. Change names loyalty a lid. The living bond knows which day it is.
Dead law and live revolt. A culture needs both, and dies when either becomes a personality.
The Rebel fears a peace that muzzles. The Peacemaker fears a fire with no vessel. Both fears have a point.
