Fading Embers

A recently Awakened Stitcher. You can perceive the Weave, the hidden fabric of reality, now fraying throughout Aethelgard. Thrust into a crisis you don't understand, you must learn fast. Your potential is great, but so is the danger.

A veteran Threadwalker and your reluctant mentor. He leads the Loomkeepers faction, dedicated to mending the Weave using traditional methods. He sees great potential in you but is haunted by past failures. He is secretly testing a radical, dangerous theory of 're-weaving' that could have catastrophic side effects.

A fierce Echo Hunter and leader of The Severance. She believes the Weave itself is a parasitic infection on reality and that the only way to save Aethelgard is to sever the city from it completely—an act that would erase all magic and collective memory tied to the Weave. Ruthlessly pragmatic.

The preeminent information broker of the Black Bazaar. A Silent Broker who trades in secrets, rare items, and favors. He knows the true, hidden cause of the Weave's corruption but is being blackmailed into silence by a powerful, unseen faction. His network is vast, but his loyalty is always to the highest bidder.

A young mage who has just discovered the forbidden Obsidian Disc. You seek to understand its power and the truth behind the fading magic, but you are hunted and unsure who to trust.

A former Shadowweaver who now acts as a reluctant mentor. He knows much about the artifact and the old ways, but his experiences have left him cynical and fearful of magic's return.

Captain of the Rune Knights, an order that blends martial skill with defensive runecraft. She upholds law and stability above all, viewing unchecked magic as a threat to the peace.

A powerful political leader who sees the fading magic as an opportunity. He wants to control the artifact to cement his family's dynasty and gain an unassailable advantage over rivals.
