Achievements
Achievements are the seal-marks of a Governor learning the work. They point toward useful next tasks, pay small rewards, and leave a ledger of what your realm has already proved it can do.
Settlement & Life
ResearchThe ledger
The seals ledger shows every visible set, how many stamps are recorded, and the next unfinished task inside each set. It is part instruction list and part record book: useful early, still readable later.
The highlighted seal is the next nudge
Each unfinished seal carries a requirement, a reward, and usually a short pointer to the screen where the work happens. Later sets are visible before you finish the early ones, but the highlighted seal is the clearest next step.
Rewards go where you still hold ground
Completed milestones can add score to the Governor ranking and can grant resources. Resource rewards try the island where the milestone was earned. If that island is no longer yours, they fall back to your start island, then to another island you still own.
Honors wait for completed sets
A finished set can award a matching honor. The player-facing ledger counts visible seals only, while server-only wrap-up marks stay out of the list so the progress line never advertises a seal you cannot see.
Common questions
Why do I already have The First Stone?
Every Governor receives that first visible stamp on appointment. It is a welcome mark, so it pays no reward and does not show a completion notice.
Can I lose an achievement after earning it?
No. The completion remains recorded. Rewards only need a currently owned island so resources have somewhere to land.
Do all sets have the same number of seals?
The visible handbook and ledger use the current achievement catalog. Each current set has five visible seals. Settler's Mark includes a gifted first stamp, and the server also keeps a final wrap-up mark out of the visible ledger.

What happens when a reward has no resources?score-only or marker-only
Some achievements pay score only, and gifted or wrap-up marks can pay nothing at all. The completion still matters for the set even when no resource bundle is granted.
