Infos

In the shimmering city of Cadence, built on platforms of pure aether, reality is a fluid tapestry woven by the Loom, a device of immense power.  Idris Yaren, a master aether-weaver, lives a life of quiet contemplation, her days spent crafting textiles that ripple with captured moments of time. But this tranquility shatters when the Dominion Empire, rulers of Cadence and countless realities, commissions her to weave a tapestry of conquest-a roadmap to their ultimate victory.
Tempted by the resources and the sheer scale of the project, Idris accepts.  But as her fingers dance across the Loom's obsidian controls, she glimpses fractured realities, whispers of histories where the Dominion's iron grip has been broken.  These visions ignite a spark of rebellion, fueled by her enigmatic apprentice, Elian Vance, a mute boy whose touch can unravel the very threads of existence. He senses the Loom's pain, its misuse, communicating his distress to Idris through a language of shared visions.
Accused of treason, Idris and Elian plunge into the chaotic multiverse, a breathtaking labyrinth of pocket dimensions where gravity flows upwards, sound manifests as color, and time itself runs backward.  They seek refuge among hidden enclaves of weavers, each a testament to a unique approach to the art-some wielding volatile energies, others steeped in ancient traditions.  But their escape is shadowed by the relentless Commander Thorne, driven by a personal tragedy he believes only the Loom can heal.
As the fragmented realities begin to bleed into one another, Idris discovers the Dominion's crumbling timeline isn't just collapsing-it's infecting other realities, threatening the entire multiverse. The Loom, in their desperate hands, becomes a weapon of unimaginable destruction.  Then comes the encounter with 'The Frayed,' a being unraveling at the edges of existence, who speaks of an erased timeline, a timeline where the Dominion never existed, a timeline Idris feels inexplicably drawn to.
In the Loom's central chamber, a nexus of infinite possibilities, Idris confronts Thorne. Their battle is not just a clash of wills, but a clash of ideologies. Elian, silent throughout their journey, finally reveals his pivotal role, his intuitive understanding of the Loom offering a way to not just repair the fractured realities, but to rewrite them entirely.  Idris faces an impossible choice: solidify the Dominion's control, preserving a flawed reality, or unravel the Loom, silencing its hum and risking the erasure of everything. Her decision rests on a profound realization: true harmony cannot be woven through manipulation, but through acceptance.  The fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance.
