The World.
Reality is not singular but layered — mica-thin realities stacked one against the other. The Braid connects all possible timelines. Humanity discovered it. The Vael learned to manipulate it. Then it broke.
Genesis
Humanity on Earth. A world more water than stone, a species more hunger than patience.
Diaspora
Humans scatter to the stars. New worlds reshape their bodies — lungs, skin, spines, the architecture of survival rewritten by gravity and air.
Vael Emergence
Over millions of years, Earth's descendants evolve beyond recognition. The Vael: post-human, biologically mastered, capable of reshaping worlds through genomic resonance.
The Triad
Vael civilization organizes around three pillars — Aurum (biological), Argent (machine), Viridian (ecological). Integration of all three becomes orthodoxy.
The Fracture
The Braid breaks. The Vael's engines consumed the entanglement holding reality together. The consequences arrive all at once.
The Long Silence
Millennia pass. Arks drift in isolation. Descendant populations on edge worlds regress. The galaxy forgets what it was.
Present Era
Scavengers in salvaged armor. Guardians without gates. Children who hear the rain differently. The species persists.
Accord
A settlement of managed peace, unknowingly tended by the remnants of something vast, patient, and hungry.
