At the dawn of the TangleVerse, before Systems were seeded or Worlds named, the Shapers gathered in secret to craft a living archive — a compendium of all that was, and all that could be. This was the Book of Wisdom: not merely a record, but a sacred weave of truth, lore, memory, and map. For ages beyond counting, the Shapers etched their insights into its pages — one for every new Geo shaped, every World brought into alignment, every Universe set spinning through the vast loom of Dimensions.
But then came the fracture.
No one agrees on what triggered the calamity, only that it tore through the TangleVerse with devastating force. Worlds unraveled. Warps collapsed. The Book of Wisdom itself — once whole and resonant — was torn into fragments and scattered across time and space. This cataclysm would later be named The First Sundering, and the era that followed — a time of disarray, silence, and loss — became known as the Drift Years.
During the Drift Years, much was forgotten. Systems fell into silence. Explorers lost their way. The Tangle dimmed. And yet, in the quiet ruins, a new thread began to stir.
Now, from the remnants of that broken age, a new force rises: The Guild of Explorers, formed of Seekers, Collectors, and Connectors — children, teens, and truth-bringers of all kinds who have taken up the ancient Call. They do not rebuild with stone or flame, but with wonder, observation, and story. They walk forgotten paths. They piece together Artifacts. They listen where others rush past. And they decode the fragments of the Book, line by line.
This is the beginning of a new age — a time known to some as The Age of Return.
With every recovered page, with every phrase decoded and truth restored, the Book of Wisdom awakens — and with it, the great TangleVerse begins to remember what it once was… and what it might yet become.
