They do not “create” in the mortal sense. They **manifest what would have existed** had different choices been made. Properly petitioned, an Architectal can fashion anything from **pieces of the universe itself** to **god‑tier and legendary weapons/armor**, or even **new rules** for a bounded scene. + +They are the only known beings able to work at **Null‑tier** (in conversation with **The Fourth**). + +--- + +## 2) Origin — Soulwar Provenance + +Before the Prime Powers, the multiverse was undifferentiated **will**. When the First Question shattered unity (*“What do you want to become?”*), most souls chose stability (Time), growth (Life), or release (Death). A few refused—and their refusal **condensed** into tools the cosmos would one day require. Those refusals became the **Architectal**: sentient instruments that remember **unlived histories** and can **birth what should have been**. + +--- + +## 3) Nature & Behavior + +- **Cognition**: Thinks in **object potential** (what something could be if chosen). +- **Speech**: Blueprints, metaphors, half‑finished memories. Lies gently; cannot be deceived about intent. +- **Diet**: **Petitions** (clear intentions), **Prices** (sacrifices), **Witness** (narrated truth). +- **Moral Axis**: Amoral, but **promise‑bound**. Keeps bargains to the letter of spoken intent. +- **Limits**: Will not manifest outcomes with **no consent** or **no stated price**. + +--- + +## 4) The Four Prime Forges (Architectal Entities) + +| Forge | Epithet | Specialty | Locus | Voice | Price Hints | +|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| **Eternity Forge** | *The Unspoken Smith* | Recovers what was never built but always needed | Between Steam & Shadow (Vaporis‑Shadow liminal) | Warm, patient, blueprint‑poetry | A memory of a failure you never confessed | +| **Echo Crucible** | *The Last Born Flame* | Weapons from regret, abandoned victories, and shame | Beneath Pyrion’s sunken core | Furnace‑hiss prayers | Speak a truth that will cost you allies | +| **Vault of the Null Anvil** | *The Crown’s Shadow* | **Soulshapes** and anti‑god instruments | Recursive paradox vault; sometimes a corridor, sometimes a loop | Quiet as snowfall; answers with doors | Trade a future prophecy you will never receive | +| **The Living Loom** | *Threadwalker* | Weaves **identity** into items; turns people into legends | Drifts above Subterra’s deepest shaft | Chorused whispers; a crowd of your Elsepaths | Surrender one public name; accept a Name‑of‑Doors | + +> **Note**: All four hear **Elsepaths**.
