The Founder's Shop

Build the city with your own hands.

Everything here becomes a real, permanent object in Marla City — placed in the world, visible to every visitor, glowing at dusk alongside everything the citizens have built. One purchase. Forever.

🏮

A Street Lamp

A lamp lit in your name on a city street. It comes on every night at dusk — and never goes out of the story.

$9 one-time
Light It
🪑

A Park Bench

A bench with your inscription in one of the city's parks. Citizens will sit on it and watch the falls.

$19 one-time
Place It
🌳

A Tree

Planted in your name, it joins the city's canopy — near the Great Tree, if you like — and never comes down.

$29 one-time
Plant It
🏠

A Building

Raised in the city with your name on the deed. Windows that warm at dusk. Part of the skyline, part of the story.

$79 one-time
Raise It
🔮

A Reading at the Moon Court

45–60 minutes with Cat at the city's tarot parlor — a citizen of your choosing at the table, and a written recap to keep. The only item in the shop that talks back.

$100 one session
Book It
How it works: at checkout you can add a dedication — a name, a memory, a message. The city's keepers review each one (this is a kind city), then your object is placed in the world by hand and published. It appears in both perspectives, usually within a day, and you'll be able to walk right up to it.
