The alliance is broken.
The borders are bleeding.
Someone has to walk between.
Twenty years ago, the Compact shattered. Now magic returns imperfectly, trust has curdled into suspicion, and the old roads grow dangerous. You are a Threadwalker—trained to walk between three fractured peoples when no one else can.

Begin Your Journey →The Sundering
For generations, the Compact bound humans, fae, and the elder peoples to mutual obligation. Magic flowed freely between traditions. The roads were open. Trust, if not love, held the alliance together.
Then it shattered. No one agrees on who broke it first, or why. The fae sealed their borders. The elder peoples fell silent. The great libraries were divided, some volumes lost forever. Now magic bleeds through weakening borders in unpredictable ways, and ancient workings awaken without anyone to tend them.
You are a Threadwalker—trained in the dying art of walking between communities. Trusted by none fully but needed by all, you carry fragments of training from all three traditions: human scholarship, fae intuition, elder memory.
When a crisis crosses borders, when old enemies must speak, when something threatens all three peoples equally—you are called. The moment you become one people's champion and Threadwalker second, you lose your usefulness to everyone—including yourself.
The Three Peoples
Before the Sundering, they shared knowledge, roads, and magic. Now each guards what remains, suspicious of the others. You must walk between them all.
The Humans
Builders and scholars who catalogued magic in great libraries. Since the Sundering, they work from fragments—attempting spells from theory alone, divided between those who seek reconciliation and those who want independence.
The Fae
They do not use magic—they are magic. Ancient beings who appear in forms human eyes can process, they withdrew after the Sundering, taking their practical wisdom with them. They do not lie. This is not the comfort you think it is.
The Elder Peoples
They remember the names of things—the deep grammar underlying all magic. Living in mountain roots and old forests, they were here before the fae danced across borders. Since the Sundering, they teach nothing. They simply wait.
