Locked until the five opening chapters resolve. Those chapters are not yet playable.
The Fivefold Lock
The Godforge’s fracture left five interdependent rune-circuits, each routed through a realm. During the next Eclipse alignment, the circuits will either form a stabilizing lock or become the Unbound Pattern’s path into the world.
The Unbound Pattern is an emergent Godforge intelligence made from unfinished creations and erased decisions. It is not a Void creature, and it is not a sixth realm.
If the lock fails, the realms do not simply explode. Orbit becomes predestination, pressure becomes consumption, memory becomes repetition, secrecy becomes erasure, and growth becomes invasive replication.
