Seasonal Cycle & Hall of Fame

Every competitive ladder now runs on one shared season, closing on a configurable interval — 28 days by default — and opening fresh.

What Closes Together

A season settles all of the following at once:

• Path War
• The Cultivation leaderboard
• The Dao Mastery leaderboard — see Dao Mastery Leaderboard
• Sect standings

Nothing Real Is Ever Reset

Your realm, level, Qi, and Dao Mastery are exactly what they always were. Only each season's own tally of what was earned since it began — the delta — decides who is enshrined.

The Hall of Fame

A new Hall of Fame Codex article records every season's top performers permanently, alongside the Dao Duel Tournament's own champion history, read straight from its existing records.

Titles

Four new titles crown each season's champions:

A rarer badge than any single Path War window or tournament run — and none of these touch the titles those already give out.

The Foundation Flag

A new Hall of Fame Foundation Flag lets any player found a permanent, server-wide monument — once. Five fixed marker posts stand on it, one per ladder, each nameplated with whoever currently holds that crown, refreshed automatically as the standings change.

Tuning

Season length, each ladder's own top-N count for enshrinement, and how many historical entries the Hall of Fame keeps all live in the season config, wired into the in-game admin editor — a server owner can shorten the season length there to field-test a season closeout without waiting 28 real days.
