Ember
Capital: Volcano Forge
When the world shattered, the volcano Ignea kept burning on a single tile. The Ember were born around it and swore never to let the first flame go out. To them, only fire can weld back what was broken.
The 12 clans
Tide
Capital: Coral Lighthouse
The Tide archipelago sank in the Great Shattering, and the whole people spent a generation on rafts. They learned to read the currents by following the lanternfish. Today they search, tile by tile, for the reef where it all began.
Root
Capital: Tree House
The Root descend from the gardeners of the Mother Tree, whose roots held the last pieces of ground together during the Shattering. Each of their cities grows from one of its seeds. For the Root, uniting the mosaic means replanting the original forest.
Frost
Capital: Crystal Igloo
Driven out of the warm lands, the Frost crossed a frozen sea on foot and survived where no one else wanted to live. They tamed the white bears and made winter an ally. Now they come down from the tundra to claim the place they were denied.
Dune
Capital: Oasis Palace
Where shards of Lumen fell in the desert, oases sprang up. The Dune were the first to find them and built bazaars around each one. Their caravans link the tiles through trade before any army arrives.
Wind
Capital: Windmill
Nomads of the highlands, the Wind never built walls: their home is the saddle. They say they heard the Shattering coming in the whistle of the wind, and that is why they survived. They ride after the voice that promises a whole world once more.
Beast
Capital: Totem Den
Children lost in the Shattering were taken in by a pack of moss wolves. They grew up hunting together and returned as a clan that shares everything it brings down. For the Beast, the mosaic is a hunting ground that needs a single pack.
Glow
Capital: Lumen Obelisk
Monks of the crystal canyons, the Glow discovered how to solidify light and made the first Lumen Bridges. They guard the secret in golden monasteries. They believe the world is reunited with bridges, not swords, but they carry swords anyway.
AutomatonsSpecial clan
Capital: Data Center
In the year 2053, the Automatons are fighting the War of the Future against the Astrals, and they are losing. Unit Zero calculated the only way out: travel back in time and conquer the past before the enemy arrives. An army of humanoid robots crossed the portal and built its first data center in the age of the mosaic.
AstralsSpecial clan
Capital: Landed Ship
The Astrals came from the stars to conquer the world in 2053 and met a resistance made of metal. When they intercepted the Automatons' plan, they launched a ship through the same time portal. They landed in the past with one mission: hunt down the robots and take the world before the war begins.
SpectersSpecial clan
Capital: Mausoleum of Mists
The Specters are the shadows of those who vanished in the Great Shattering, trapped between one tile and another. They live in the mists and cross mountains as if they were fog. If the mosaic is united, they believe they will have bodies again.
ColossiSpecial clan
Capital: Fallen Throne
The Colossi were angels. When the world shattered, they fell from the sky along with the shards, and when they touched the ground their wings and skin turned to stone. Slow and nearly indestructible giants, they want to rejoin the mosaic to raise the stairway back home.
