World Six had no single ruler.
It stood atop seven Factions of the Eldest Meaning—each claiming their own territory, role, and principles.
For hundreds of cycles, their order remained unchanged.
Until a new line appeared in the sky:
Sprouts.
The eighth domain.
Not born of any Faction.
Not legitimate according to the old system.
But recognized by the world itself.
And that made the world… uncomfortable.
First Faction: The Glass Pillar
Its leader—an entity called Vellaren, a transparent being visible only from certain angles—watched the formation of the Bud domain coldly.
"They come from the Seventh World.
A world that failed to filter concepts."
"They built a domain with three meanings that do not oppress each other."
"And that is… dangerous."
Because Vellaren knew:
a structure that is not based on domination is difficult to destroy from the outside.
He sent a single message:
"Send observers. If they grow… we'll make sure they grow within limits."
