Mythological Figure: Xeyara, The Weaver of Horizons

🔹 Overview
Xeyara, known as The Weaver of Horizons, is a mythological figure of immense cultural importance across the Ulverse. She is revered as the patron of discovery, creation, and knowledge, a being who sought to unravel the unknown and bring new wonders into existence.
She is said to have traveled through every known world, collecting fragments of knowledge, lost dreams, and fading histories, which she wove together into great cosmic tapestries. Each thread was a story, a revelation, or an invention that shaped the civilizations of the Ulverse.
She is one of the most celebrated mythological figures among scholars, explorers, engineers, and visionaries, inspiring Red Palette to take up his own journey of innovation, discovery, and aid.

🔹 Story & Mythology
"The Weaver’s Journey"
The most well-known myth surrounding Xeyara is The Weaver’s Journey, a legend that embodies the values of curiosity, perseverance, and selfless creation.
🔹 The Myth’s Core Themes:
- Knowledge is endless. There is always more to learn, more to create, and more to understand.
- True greatness comes not from power, but from what you give to the world.
- One does not simply witness existence; they shape it.
🔻 The Story:
It is said that Xeyara was once a child of a forgotten world, where her people believed that everything worth knowing had already been discovered. Unwilling to accept stagnation, she set out on a journey to uncover the hidden stories, lost wisdom, and forgotten wonders of the Ulverse.
She traveled from realm to realm, collecting knowledge, but she did not hoard it—she wove it into her Skyloom, crafting new wonders for others to inherit. To a crumbling world, she gave structure. To a dying species, she gifted rebirth. To lost knowledge, she gave new purpose.
But Xeyara’s journey was not without hardship. As she reached the edges of the known universe, she encountered the Frayed Void, a place where all things unraveled—where forgotten knowledge, lost civilizations, and abandoned dreams dissolved into nothingness.
Standing before oblivion, she made a choice—rather than retreat, she wove herself into the very fabric of the cosmos, stabilizing the Frayed Void so that others could venture into it without fear. In doing so, she became eternal, her essence forever woven into the Ulverse.
Legends say that when an explorer, creator, or visionary reaches a moment of revelation, it is Xeyara’s unseen threads guiding them toward discovery.
