The Theft from the Great Loom & The Rewriting of Reality

An unseen adversary—The Master—penetrated the Library of the Three Fates and stole threads directly off the Loom. Every stolen thread excises historical events, people, and victories from the world's memory. To prevent history from ever healing, The Master deploys the Redactors to hunt and burn all surviving physical relics.

  • [Session 4] An Anchor in the World: Naomi confirmed the stone is a physical anchor—as long as the stone survives, the historical battle carved into it cannot be completely erased by the Redactors.

🏛️ Confirmed Canon Facts & In-Game Clues

Washington D.C. Police Evidence Locker: The Erased Flight Handcuffs

The next severed thread is locked inside a modern police vault: a pair of handcuffs from a 1980s airline flight that vanished from history.

🏛️ Confirmed Canon Facts & In-Game Clues
  • [Session 4 & 7] Naomi's Recon: Naomi tracked the next piece of the Loom to the evidence room of a modern Metropolitan Police Department precinct in Washington, D.C.
  • [Session 7] Modern Red Tape & Alarms: Unlike dungeons and ancient ruins, this heist means dealing with 1980s municipal security: metal detectors, badge checkpoints, surveillance cameras, booking desks, and armed patrol officers.
  • [Session 8] The Relic: A pair of handcuffs cataloged in connection with an erased 1980s commercial airliner flight that vanished without leaving a trace in air traffic records.
  • [Session 8] Party Boons: Party advances to Level 5; Theodore gave Eusacles an ancestral birthright blessing, while Dravin attuned to a bronze brooch of three pomegranate seeds that shields nearby allies with temporary health.
  • [Session 8] The Redactor Blueprint Patch: Dravin studied the precinct's blueprints and spotted an authorial seam: the records wing is canted thirteen degrees off-axis because Redactors spliced an old evidence locker from an erased timeline directly into the modern building.
  • [Session 8] Sharpie & The Brick Trick: Dravin sharpied his contact details and "PIG" onto Alfie's foot for "legal provenance", then used Meld into Stone to disguise her as a red clay brick. The cops dutifully bagged her as street vandalism evidence and carried her straight past the metal detectors into the processing room.

Physical Anchors: Why Erased Stories Cling to Objects

Why the Redactors can't simply snip a story out of thin air—and why they hunt down and burn the physical relics.

🏛️ Confirmed Canon Facts & In-Game Clues
  • [Session 2] The Fates' Lore: The Three Fates revealed that an erased story or person cannot completely fade as long as a physical piece of that event still exists in the world.
  • [Session 3 & 5] Anchors in Hand: The Raleigh Greek stele anchors the memory of the sea battle; Dr. Thorne's altered binder anchors the 1948 trial. Without those objects, the memories would dissolve into thin air.
  • [Session 6] Why Redactors Burn Everything: Redactor agents don't just use scissors on the Loom—they hunt down the physical objects and incinerate them, because destroying the object destroys the memory forever.

A faceless, terrifying hunter that wakes up whenever someone tries to gather the severed threads of the Loom.

🏛️ Confirmed Canon Facts & In-Game Clues

  • [Session 8] Who is Majora: The Hunter Clock tracks Majora—a faceless terror that stalks anyone collecting severed pieces of the Weave across the worlds.
  • [Session 8] Crossing Lost Creek: While crossing the underground aqueduct on the boatman's skiff, ink-blot creatures lunged from the black water. Contact with the black ink ticked the first notch on the Hunter Clock, alerting Majora that the party is on the move.
