The Fringe Guard

Edge-wardens, parasite-hunters, signal-keepers. They hold the line where the world thins.

Goals

• Keep the Edge safe and the moorings sound
• Hunt thread parasites and seal seam-slips fast
• Train civilians in emergency knotwork

Assets

• Watch houses, signal lamps, and flare stores
• A fleet of small loom-skiffs for quick response
• Skilled spotters and knotmasters

Methods

• Drills, inspections, and loud bells
• Strict fines for loose ends
• Risky heroics when alarms ring

Relations

• Warpists: allies for standards, but resent meddling
• Weft Brothers: rely on their improvisations in the field
• Traders: expect protection; grumble at the cost

Leadership & NPCs

• High Edge-Warden Hem (see NPCs): veteran seer of patterns
• Sergeant Nera: drillmaster and soft-heart
• Spotter Ilex: uncanny eyes; unnerves recruits
