Foundation of Liminality
As with all time,
knowledge becomes lost,
unable to be utilized,
lost knowledge becomes useless knowledge.
Those that lived through
the twilight of the new gods
eventually succumbed to time.
Their existance transcending beyond the physical
into a small piece of history...
a memory.
The silent promise of the rending faded with time,
leaving men to fight with men all over again.
However, the lessons were not completely lost.
Society lived on in the form of guilds.
Guilds for all types of trade and job.
Regardless of any sort of divides,
society knew it must work together in order to survive.
So started the underlying tension
that made the city of Liminality into reality,
the knowledge of needing to work together
in constant strife with
the desire to do away with those of differing beliefs.
Through this tension, the foundation of law was born.
Society required a way to protect itself from itself,
thus the concept of laws and justice became born,
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth...a life for a life.
Eventually, a guild was created to control crime,
but that which is controlled by a small group of people
become corrupt overtime.
Despite this small setback,
Liminality with all of its trades became powerful,
ridiculously powerful with goods as well as technology,
however it was a small piece of its true power.
After all, the Guild of Weavers first discovered
the world's underlying truth...
everything is part of a tapestry
and those that live in it have the power to alter it.
Through research and trial and error,
the weaving and reweaving of the world's tapestry
became a closely guarded secret in Liminality.
The ability to spin straw into gold with a set of four musical notes,
the ability to make a thin sheet of fabric feel as warm as a thick wool blanket,
the ability to make something simply disappear...
unmaking it from existance.
Most of these manipulations became secret
only known to the Weaver's Guild.
Those who hold secrets of power
eventually become despised
by those who lack this knowledge.
However, no one dare challenged the weaver's guild,
it would eventually be their undoing.
Many believed Liminality's power would reach to the heavens,
The power of the threads enshroud all within it,
those that know the threads can manipulate reality to their will,
giving them a false sense of authority and pride.
However, the few that believed that this power will get them in trouble...
never would've predicted the wrath of the gods.
