ƭɦε µɳωσѵεɳ is A vast nomadic force calling itself The Unwoven has emerged from the far salt plains, composed of outcasts, failed tuners, and those whose resonance with Lum was severed long ago. They move like a broken chorus—discordant but powerful—and they are unraveling every Lum-linked infrastructure they find. Towns touched by them fall silent: no light, no memory, no trace.

Origin: A side effect of early Regence experiments—when they tried to forcibly bond unfit candidates to Lum. These failed fusions caused fractures in memory, identity, and eventually reality itself. The survivors now return, no longer human in the old sense, to sever what once severed them.

Danger: They do not conquer; they erase. And they are not stopping.
In response, the Regence has diverted all resources, preparing desperately for an imminent attack.
