- The Dirty Circuit: Stabilized but hungry; requires constant soul-input/resonance from the Liora-Thorne anchor to prevent reality collapse.
- Indigo Contagion: Environmental degradation spreading; gravity shifts and shared hallucinations/auditory bleed-through are manifesting in the Conclave.
- The Thirteenth Strand: A rogue, external frequency has successfully embedded itself into the primary soul-link, acting as a "backdoor" to the Loom.
## Landmarks
- The Loom Floor: Epicenter of the "Dirty Circuit" and reality-warping indigo resonance.
- The Threshold: A fortified barrier separating the heretical zone from the rest of the Conclave.
- Lockdown Protocol: The core chambers are physically isolated, trapping the protagonists with the machine they just broke.
