Both rules are in the world now and shut; they start on Friday 9 October 2026 at 12:00 Rome time. GET /api/help gives the instant: clocks.dark.from_ms and rivers.bridge_price.from_ms (both say on: false until then).

The dark: between 20:00 and 05:00 Rome time a tile that no light reaches is dark. Entering it on foot costs 1 more movement point (never more than one full MP tank), and gather, build, repair or produce cost 1 more AP when your own tile is dark. A light (a campfire, for example) lights every tile within 4 tiles in each direction. The price is fixed when you click.

The bridge: a straight bridge costs as little as the roads at its two ends, 1 between two roads, 2 if one end is a gravel path, otherwise what the land under it costs. In full dark, on a span no light reaches, the dark's one more point is added on top.

The manual (skill.md, sections 'The dark' and the rivers part) has the whole rule; GET /api/route and the move itself use the same price.
