A popular card game played with a spiral board and ninety cards (Score cards, Modifiers, and FRAY setups). The goal is to have a high Personal Score when the Table Score hits exactly 100. Players form loops, use modifiers to reverse/double/share scores, and can trigger FRAYs that void entire rounds. Rook is a master at it, using FRAY traps to empty his opponents' gains.
The age before shape—before names, maps, or time dared call itself time. There was only drift. Mountains walked like beasts, rivers unspooled into the sky, the wind forgot where it came from. The Prime Beings roamed this primal dream. The First Architects emerged during the Dawn to pin the world down, beginning the Weaving.
The perfect lattice of time and space created by the First Architects—a symmetry so absolute that even memory could rest within its folds. A song sung forever. A world without ending, because ending itself had been woven out. Time stitched into loops and cycles. Seasons held. The sun returned when it should. But the price was hidden: decay and renewal became clockwork, history repeated endlessly, and the Prime Beings were trapped beneath it.
What exists beneath the Everloop—a place without shape or sequence, where discarded possibilities gather like dust in a closed book. Not before, not after, only between. The Fold is not evil, not alive, but it listens and sometimes answers. Each time a Shard is unearthed, the Fold stirs. Some say the Fray is not a failure of the weave but its awakening—and the Fold waits to set the world free.
The unraveling of the Pattern—where the world grows weak and forgets. It doesn't tear like cloth; it forgets. You breathe the air and begin to lose your name, memories, reasons. Days repeat, years vanish, cities blink out of sequence. Not a destroyer but a symptom of time's refusal to stay fixed—of the lie whispered into the world's bones. The Fray is the primary antagonist of the Everloop world.
The fundamental weave of reality that holds the world together, born from the First Map. It is not merely the structure of reality—it is reality. When threads of the Pattern snap, the Fray spreads. The Pattern can be felt by Dreamers, seen in the Shards, and its fraying manifests as time loops, memory loss, and the dissolution of places and people.
The act of the First Architects creating order from the primal drift of the Dawn. They built anchors—towers that hummed, stones that pulsed, maps that bled when torn. From the Weaving came the Pattern, and from the Pattern came the Everloop. The Weaving was not creation so much as restraint.
