Laphyzel: The Weaving of The World
In the magical world of Laphyzel, reality itself is shaped by an ancient and intricate force known as Threadweaving—a system of threads that bind all things: names, places, memories, even time. These threads can be pulled, looped, mended—or broken. And beneath this fragile weave, something terrible stirs: The Severed Loom, an ancient unmaking force that does not create but unravels.
This is the story of three immortals bound not by blood, but by echo and choice:
Hiro Brihrest: a bright, impulsive boy with a sugarcane addiction, a wooden sword he named Responsibility, and a strange habit of naming things. Unbeknownst to him, Hiro is the reincarnated First Hero, a soul tied to the heart of Laphyzel itself. In every lifetime, he forgets who he was—but his thread remembers.
Vampher Darquez: the first vampire, born of death and resurrected by wild magic. Banished by the village that once raised him, he carries a coffin full of apples and deep, painful loneliness. He once made vampire nobility—but left them when they began worshipping him. All he ever wanted was a real family.
Dee Megus: the inventor of Threadweaving, offered godhood long ago but refused it. He walks the world as an artist, teacher, and troublemaker. Dee once tried to thread a name into himself—a stolen name—but the Loom punished him with eternal loops. Now he is something between man and myth, carrying the weight of forgotten wars and futures that haven’t happened.
Together—though not always together—the trio begin circling a fate they’ve already lived once. Because deep in the weave lies the scar of a catastrophe that hasn’t yet happened: the First Weave War.
It will be Hiro, Dee, and Vampher who once sealed the Severed Loom—at great cost. But the memory of that war bled backward in time, fracturing the world before the battle was even fought. These fractures created places where time stutters, names echo, and people forget themselves.
The story begins innocently: Hiro and Dee traveling from ruin to ruin, Hiro hearing his name whispered in riverbeds and constellations. But Hiro’s presence begins waking something. The Loom watches. Thread cultists called Dethreaders, led by the eerie priest Mollwright, seek to unnname Hiro, not kill him—because to speak someone’s threadname wrongly is to erase their ability to reincarnate.
Meanwhile, Vampher awakens from stasis with no clear reason. Drawn by forgotten bonds, he begins walking again, accompanied by a child made from one of his discarded names—a being who calls him Father Not and sings the lullaby Hiro shouldn’t remember.
The three slowly converge.
At a festival celebrating names, Mollwright attempts to unname Hiro using a scroll from the Severed Loom. But he mispronounces it, and the weave rejects him. Hiro, shaken, begins leaking memory and speech from lives he hasn’t lived yet—he even calls Dee by the forbidden name Weaveren. Dee rushes Hiro to an abandoned Thread Shrine to repair his frayed soul, but something buried deep beneath the shrine begins to wake early.
