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
Teal with teal and cerulean
House 50 · manner 30 · field 20. Mixed in OKLab, the way pigments combine — not the way screens add light.
The Double Prophet of the Table

You say what the group said it loved, when the group has started living otherwise.

House of the Prophet
You say what the group said it loved, when the group has started living otherwise.
Old tables call this The prophetic voice · conscience of the group — Air · the high place · the unwelcome word. A likeness, not a creed. On the wheel this house sits Teal.
The prophet is not a fortune-teller and not a brand. You remember the vow. Hope without a backbone is entertainment. A backbone without hospitality is a weapon.
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 people is both spoken and fed. The Prophet's hard word and the Orphan's table — conscience with a place to sit.
The far word needs a true note. Prophet and Bard restore a group to the vow it had begun to live against.
The Prophet names what is coming. The Oracle gives that picture a next step.
Enemies
These three work against it — a blind spot, not a villain.
Looking far can neglect the person already hungry. Feeding can treat the future as a luxury.
Vision can become a stick you use on the present. Peace can become a muzzle you call kindness.
The Prophet needs a stable hearer. The Shapeshifter will not be a statue of the message.
