Kireh Unfoldingroot

“A cut thread sings louder in the wind.”

One hundred and sixteen cycles ago, amid the fracturing of caste memory and the rise of Spoilborne extraction rites, a minor Flowcaster named Kireh Unfoldingroot emerged—not with power, but with pattern. Born into the undercastes of the Velari’s Inkless Fold, Kireh was known for collecting discarded tattoos scraped from casteless bodies and storing them in a fungal lattice beneath her home.

She called it the Unharmony Archive.

Her Philosophy: Resonant Discontinuity

• Kireh proposed that the Velari obsession with harmonic lineage had rendered their history incomplete, erasing anomalies and fracture-glyphs that bore truth.
• Instead of smoothing dissonance, she encouraged Velari to wear fragmented ink openly, forming a new caste known as the Scatterborne.
• Her writings—compiled posthumously into the Rootbreak Codex—suggested that memory is strongest where it almost didn’t survive.

Opposition & Exile

• Viewed as dangerous by tattoo ritualists and Spoilborne extractors, Kireh was exiled from Orraspire and her archive destroyed. Many believed her resonance would unravel the caste system altogether.
• Yet her ideas persisted, whispered among caste exiles and ink-thieves—eventually reaching the Embermarked reformists three generations later.

Legacy & Cultural Shift

• Scatterborne glyphwork now appears in the Memory Sand Trials, and several Spiral Hollows chambers use rootbreak patterns to host unresolved lineage echoes.
• Kireh’s philosophies influenced the Velari Reconciliation Pulse and the founding of the Embermarked Voices—who echo her core tenet: that fracture is not failure.
