In a world where magic is real but its true nature forgotten, 5% of the population are born with "threads"—what they believe to be mystical power, but which is actually inherited nanotechnology from a collapsed civilization. These Weavers manipulate the quantum electromagnetic field through precise gestures, tonal commands, and mental focus, never knowing they're interfacing with ancient machines in their own bloodstream.

But in places where spells fail catastrophically, reality breaks. Corrupted Weave Zones emerge—places where the quantum field can't decide what's real. Where a meadow both exists and doesn't. Where time branches into probability. Where a deer can be trapped forever in the threshold between states.

This is the story of those who seek to understand permanence, those who guard ancient knowledge, and those caught in the spaces between truth and impossibility.
