Art · The Nexum Opening · 1200 × 900The Law of the Nexum
Win and walk free. Lose and join the board. The board remembers who they were even when the pieces themselves forget.
Art · The Chaos · 1200 × 900The Chaos
It has no origin outside of you. The Chaos that agrees with you has never been beaten.
Art · The Shattergrid · 1200 × 900The Shattergrid
A world made from a broken god. The plates are its broken body, still reaching.
The Record Is Continuous
The carved symbols on the Nexum are not decorative. They are a record of every world it has visited, every player who has opened it, every encounter with The Chaos faced or surrendered to. These are the newest entries.
Chronicle Art · 800 × 450Entry · The Burning
Jalen tried to destroy it with stone first, but it held. Then he tried fire, and stood watch until the symbols blackened. He believed that was enough. The Shattergrid received that fire completely.
Chronicle Art · 800 × 450Entry · The Ashening
The First Age ended in flame. The pieces were given no warning. One moment the world was what it was. The next it was on fire. They have been surviving in the ash ever since, waiting for the Nexum to open again and tell them why.
Chronicle Art · 800 × 450Entry · The New King
Piper is thirteen. Eight figures rose from the ash and took their positions. She has not yet met The Chaos, but the game is only beginning to understand what she is made of.
