Ending the Game

Agreed Endings
The Rite Is Complete : A ritual introduced early in play is finally finished across both Windcallers' efforts 
 The Question Is Answered : The central mystery or unfinished business is resolved 
 The Map Collapses : As described in the Map section 
 Reunion or Final Separation : The Windcallers meet again, or one definitively vanishes

Emergent Endings
The Fragment Unanswered : One player sends a fragment so perfect, so complete, that no response is needed. The other player simply says, "I have no words left to send." 
 Exhaustion : All Echo tokens are spent by both players, and the wind falls silent 
 The Story Told Itself : Both players feel a natural conclusion without a dramatic climax—the fragments have said all they needed to say

The Wind Offering (Optional)
If you wish to create a formal ending, after the final fragment: 
 Together , write one last collaborative piece—not a fragment from either Windcaller, but an external observation. This might be: 
 
 A future historian analyzing your correspondence 
 The wind itself speaking 
 A third party discovering your fragments centuries later 
 A description of where each Windcaller is now 
 
 This offering stands outside the game, a shared reflection on what you created together.
