Overview:
The Triat is made up of three forces of nature, each with its own distinct sphere of influence. They are as follows:
The Wyld: Chaos and destruction are the goal of the Wyld. Forcible change, like the power of a cyclone, Wyldlings alter everything around them - including themselves. They are very changeable and prone to unpredictability.
The Wyrm: Personal growth and achievement is the path of the Wyrm. Like Ouroroboros, the World-Serpent that devours its own tail, the Wyrmling is always upon a relentless pursuit of learning and self-improvement.
The Weaver: The epitome of guardian and guide, the Weaver seeks to understand the whole of the Pattern. They are the protectors of the Wyrm, assisting them at all times with their journey to enlightenment. The Weaver is honor at its most basic - honesty and respectability in every word and deed.
