Chains of Knowledge

Become a Student of Knowledge

An interactive 2D RPG exploring the Islamic scholarly tradition and its many schools of thought — Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Ash'ari, Mu'tazili, Sufi, and beyond — through eight historical cities, classical scholars, and structured debates that reward both knowledge and Adab.

  • A New Golden Path

    The main questline has been rebuilt from the first link onward — follow the Golden Path chapter by chapter as it leads you through the cities of learning.

  • Turn-Based Fights & Leveling

    Scholarly exchanges now unfold as turn-based fights. Argue, hold steady, and manage your Resolve and Focus — then level up your ʿIlm with every hard-won debate.

  • Improved Ambience & Environments

    Richer ambient sound and reworked environments bring each city to life, from sunlit market quarters to moonlit courtyards.

Bloodmoon: Fall of Nur

An Experiment in Civilizational Imagination

Bloodmoon: Fall of Nur is a survival roguelike set within the fictional Sultanate of Nur — a world drawing upon the visual, cultural, and civilizational vocabulary of the Muslim world. When a mysterious blood moon transforms the people of the city into violent, unnatural forms, its last defenders must endure the night and uncover what has befallen Nur.

Publications

First Edition · 2026

The Hollowing of the Ummah

Civilizational Identity, Fragmentation, and Tajdid

A civilizational essay on Muslim identity, historical memory, institutions, and renewal. Its argument, developed through Ibn Khaldun: the modern crisis is not a disappearance of belief, but a weakening of the connective tissue through which creed, knowledge, institutions, production, and collective agency reinforce one another — and the work of tajdid is their peaceful, deliberate rebuilding.
