📖 Story Backstory
The introduction and setting of the world, including its history.
The Grand Tapestry of Tales once held all fables in harmony, but the Unbinding Cataclysm tore it asunder, spawning Fractured Fables: a realm of warped biomes where enchanted thickets bleed into gingerbread spires, thorned castles loom over beanstalk wilds, and rifts summon aberrant beasts. Binders arose to collect these creatures—wolfkin, golems, sprites—by inscribing fresh tales on their essences, commanding them against the Fracture. Villages like Whispering Hamlet cling to survival, guilds hoard lore, and rivals vie for supremacy.
