Shardwrights
The architects, builders and sculptors of the world, those who mould the Weave into lasting structures and forms.
The Shardwrights are the architects and builders of reality. Where Weavers fold and Patchrunners break, the Shardwrights sculpt, molding the Weave itself into enduring forms. They are the engineers of resonance, shaping districts, bridges, and sanctuaries out of raw possibility.
Shardwrights are said to be able to move reality itself, bending it like clay in skilled hands. To them, the Weave is not fragile but malleable, a medium through which vision can become form. Many of the great structures of the New World bear their subtle marks, balanced geometry, organic symmetry, and harmonies that hum faintly at night.
They often work in close partnership with Weavers, who perceive resonance, and then translate that vision into lasting architecture. To outsiders, this partnership can feel almost mystical: silent cooperation, a shared alignment of mind and matter.
Mechanics
Sculpting the Weave: Long-term reshaping of the environment into stable structures.
Fold-to-Sculpt: Work with Weavers to anchor folded realities into permanence.
Building Resonance: Each structure becomes a stabilisation point, strengthening surrounding zones.
Risk: Sculpting too aggressively can destabilise geometry, creating collapses or resonance feedback.
Cultural Notes
Proverb: “Do not move the world, fold it.”
Proverb: “Stone bends when vision is sharper than weight.”
Proverb: "A lifetime perfecting the craft is a perfect life"
Shardwrights are respected as artisans, engineers, and dream interpreters.
Apprenticeships are long, requiring both discipline and creativity.
Visual Notes
Attire is practical but ornate, with layered tools strapped across belts and harnesses.
Materials: alloyed fabrics, resonance hammers, fold-carving chisels.
Designs: glowing tattoos or etchings that shift with their creations.
Style: balance of natural forms (mushroom caps, roots, branches) and crystalline geometry.
