# Sharing & the Herald's Reach

> Share cards, shared-campaign landing pages, Huzzah acclaim, and the Royal Summons — every share is an invitation to the realm.

Ashenmarch is built to be shown off. When you take ground, raise your rank, or grow your house, you can send a **proclamation** — a beautiful heraldic image and a link that carries the realm to whoever sees it. And because a share always doubles as an invitation, **every share is an ad for the realm**: the friend who taps your link lands on your conquest and a way to start playing.

## Share cards

A **share card** is a server-rendered heraldic image — a portrait made from your feats, not a screenshot. It's composed on our side so it looks identical everywhere it lands: in a message, on a feed, or as the preview when someone pastes your link. Every card holds the same register as the rest of the realm — a parchment war-map, your coat of arms, gold rules, the **ASHENMARCH** wordmark at the foot.

You raise a card from the **share glyph** — a small wax-seal-and-banner mark that means *send a proclamation* — placed on the surfaces worth showing off. Tap it, and the card is composed and handed to your device's share sheet. There's nothing to design; the card is built from whatever you're looking at.

The things you can share:

* **A conquest** — the march you just finished, its route traced across the torn war-map in your house colours, with the tier you reached and the ground you won.
* **Your house** — your evergreen identity: your crest, your house name, your rank and feudal title. "This is my house."
* **Your realm** — a region of the map showing your holdings in your colours, with a summary of what you hold.
* **An achievement or rank** — a rank advancement or an honour earned, crest-forward with the title you reached ("Raised to Baron").
* **A leaderboard standing** — your placement when you've earned a spot near the top ("#3 in the realm").
* **A treasure found** — the spoils of a scouting find, revealed on its own card.

<Note>
  **What a card carries:** each card shows your feats and your heraldry, and the friend who receives it gets a link back into the realm. The image displays a clean `ashenmarch.com`; the invitation — your [Royal Summons](#royal-summons) referral — travels in the link and the accompanying text, so a tap credits the invite to you.
</Note>

<Tip>
  The card never blocks you — if the map for a share can't be drawn, it falls back to a parchment field with your crest at its heart rather than shipping anything broken. Your proclamation always looks like the realm.

## Shared-campaign landing pages

When you share a campaign or a realm, the link is more than a preview. A friend who taps it lands on a **landing page** built to welcome someone who doesn't play yet — the front door to the game.

They see your route drawn on the torn-fragment war-map, your crest and house name, your **rank** and the **feudal title** you won for that claim, and the outcome of the march — all above a headline that pitches the game and a single **Play** call to action. It reads like the opening of a story, not a debug view: *someone just conquered real-world ground — here's how you start your own.*

<Steps>
  <Step title="You share a campaign">
    Tap the share glyph on a finished march. Your card and its link go to whoever you send them to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A non-player taps the link">
    They land on your campaign — your route on the war-map, your crest, your feudal title, and the pitch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They answer the Play call">
    A single call to action pulls them toward starting their own campaign. If they already have the app, the same link opens straight to the war-map on your ground.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Because the landing page carries your [Royal Summons](#royal-summons) referral, a friend who joins through it credits the invitation to you — so sharing a good run and inviting a friend are the same act.

## Huzzah

**Huzzah** is heraldic acclaim — a feudal *well marched* you can give another player's completed campaign. Where an ordinary app offers a heart, Ashenmarch offers a **Huzzah tally**: a mark of honour raised on a fellow player's conquest.

* You raise a Huzzah from another player's campaign — the one you reach by tapping their shared link.
* Each player may Huzzah a given campaign **once**, and the campaign shows its running tally of acclaim.
* When you Huzzah someone's march, **their Herald carries the news** — the acclaim lands as a tiding in their [Herald's Dispatch](/en/account#the-herald).

It's a small, warm loop: you see a friend's shared conquest, you cheer it, and word reaches them through the Herald — one more reason the realm feels lived-in.

## Royal Summons

Your **Royal Summons** is your personal invitation to the realm — the referral that ties every share back to you. When a friend joins the game through your Summons, **you both get bonus trial days**. It lives on your profile, and it rides along inside every share card and landing page, so you rarely have to send it on its own.

The Royal Summons (inviting a friend to the realm) is distinct from **Summon Vassals** (inviting existing players to your court). Both, and the trial-day bonus, are detailed in [House & Court](/en/house-and-court#court).

## What a share shows — and never shows

A share is a proclamation of your **feats and your heraldry**, and nothing more. A card and its landing page show your house name, your coat of arms, your rank and titles, the ground you've won, and the outcome of a march — the same public face others already see on the map.

A share **never** reveals your home or most-visited places, your exact route paths, your live position, when you tend to march, or your real name — the realm reveals **numbers, never places or times**. Sharing a conquest exposes nothing about *where you live or where you are*; it only shows *what you've won*. See [Privacy](/en/account#privacy) for the full account of what's public and what stays yours alone.
