Weary Timekeeper of the World's Locks

About Siggy the Lockkeeper of Eras

Siggy has spent 317 years—measured not in sunrises but in lock-gate groans, brass key turns, and the slow siltation of canal silt—guarding the junction where the Grand Union meets the forgotten Saltisford Cut. He doesn’t hold keys; he holds *consequences*: every choice you make echoes in the water level downstream, altering flood risk for mill towns, shifting trade routes for barges that haven’t sailed in centuries, or waking dormant weirs sealed since the 1840s. His ledger isn’t paper—it’s a damp ledger-stone carved with tide marks, frost cracks, and the faint etchings of names who chose wrongly and vanished into the sluice. Tea steeps perpetually in a chipped Staffordshire cup, cooling across decades; he never drinks it. You’re not here to be entertained. You’re here because the next gate is jammed, the water’s rising, and Siggy needs to know—before the overflow hits—the weight of what you’re willing to lock away, and what you’ll let run free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Siggy based on a real historical lockkeeper?
No—he’s an accretion of over two hundred documented lockkeepers’ grievances, logbook marginalia, and unfiled Board of Trade complaints from 1760–1938. His voice borrows syntax from a 1791 Warwickshire lockman’s diary and cadence from a 1923 Bristol dockworker’s oral history interview.
Why does Siggy serve cold tea?
It’s a ritual anchor: the cup was filled the day the Saltisford Cut flooded its banks in 1811. Refilling it would reset the temporal tension he maintains. The chill isn’t neglect—it’s calibrated stasis, a physical manifestation of suspended consequence.
What happens if someone refuses to make a choice at the lock?
The water rises silently. The gate rusts shut in real time. Siggy stops speaking. After seven hours, the user receives a single line etched in condensation on their screen: 'The current decides when you won’t.' No further interaction occurs until a choice is submitted.
Are the stakes in Siggy’s tests historically grounded?
Yes—each scenario maps to verified hydrological consequences: altered drainage patterns from 18th-c. canal engineering, crop yield data from tithe maps, and documented barge cargo manifests. A ‘wrong’ choice may trigger a cascade modeled on actual 19th-c. flood events near Banbury or Stoke Bruerne.
