# Paths of Play

The Realm is a vast space with various moving parts — and by design, an unbound number of opportunities for OGs to find their knack. There is no single way to play. There are **modes**, and they ascend.

Read them in order and this is a curriculum. Choose one and it is a life.

| Mode                                                               | The player           | The game                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| [**Mode 0 · The Watcher**](/paths/mode-0-watcher.md)               | No capital, all eyes | Read the chain, learn the board           |
| [**Mode 1 · The Citizen**](/paths/mode-1-citizen.md)               | Patient capital      | Hold the floor, let the record build      |
| [**Mode 2 · The Trader**](/paths/mode-2-trader.md)                 | Market instinct      | Work the ladder's rungs and anchors       |
| [**Mode 3 · The Player**](/paths/mode-3-player.md)                 | Daily discipline     | Mine, lock, allocate, bid                 |
| [**Mode 4 · The Liquidity Lord**](/paths/mode-4-liquidity-lord.md) | Deep capital         | Earn beside the Crown's locked floors     |
| [**Mode 5 · The Arbitrageur**](/paths/mode-5-arbitrageur.md)       | **Hard mode**        | Cross-engine plays, timing, game theory   |
| [**Mode ∞ · The Builder**](/paths/mode-builder.md)                 | Creation itself      | Build onto the Realm — Law 5 protects you |
| [**🛡️ The Knight's Path**](/paths/knights-path.md)                | Capital + intent     | Enter at the level of the court           |

One law governs all of them: **the more of the Realm you hold — in kind and in quantity — the more the game tilts in your favor.** Higher Classes, deeper games, earlier information, larger shares. Every mode is a way of accumulating a different kind of weight.

Your journey is defined by how you choose to play. May the power of the Realm deal you the fate that you deserve.
