Episode notes
Origins Of The Fold And Its Consequences
- The Octaves raised a fog wall to save survivors after Earth's magic-led collapse and now guard a contained world called the Fold.
- That containment created a false normal where death and natural order no longer function properly inside the Fold.
The World Beyond The Fog Reveals Stakes
- The Golden Tower rises beyond the fog wall revealing the barren, ash-covered world outside the Fold.
- That external world's devastation explains why the Octaves strictly police magic within the Fold.
The Conclave's Brutal Purpose
- The Conclave's trials will cull 63 wizards and purge 63 spells to prevent another magical apocalypse.
- The winner receives vast power, but only after extreme hardship and sacrifice.
