The Weftling

The weftling, also known as God, is the entity that exists in tandem with The Weft to determine what is possible and impossible in the universe. The Weft encompasses all things that have, are, and will ever happen. Between these lines of possibilities are spaces in which the impossible is contained, make up the body of the weftling. By altering his form, he can change what is possible within the realms. It is through this power that he controlled what occurred in the material and immaterial realms and prevented perversions of the weft.

### The Weftling's Will

The concepts that are contained within the body of the weftling represent his will. The ideas which he does not wish to hold within himself, he pushes out into the weft. The consequence of this is that the concepts which he pushes away from his body end up being more concentrated in the material realm. This is given as a possible reason why there is evil in the world: because the weftling is 'good' so 'evil' gets pushed away and into the space of possibility. This property of the weft is the reason why the weftling was able to be killed - In order to not contaminate himself with ideas of his weaknesses he did not hold them within his form, which meant that he had no knowledge of the methods in which the tontine killed him.

### Spark

Within the weftling's body, solid light pools to form his nervous system. This light is also known as Spark. In the same way electrical signals carry information and trigger movement in the human body, spark is what allows the Weftling to alter his form and thereby control the weft.

Spark-infused objects are attracted to the corpse as it tries to reanimate.

## Appearance

The weftling's body float's naked at the centre of the God Chamber. His skin is leather-brown and his limbs are bent at strange angles. He has no features on his body and no face, only skin covering the bones.

> It was just a body. He was naked, crooked, limbs bent against themselves, flesh flattened as if God had melted onto a surface that was no longer there.

## History

The Weftling has always existed and will always return before the end of time. It is his existence that created the weft and allows the realms to take shape. At some point in the course of history, a group of occultists (see the tontine) discovered the location of the weftling. In their efforts to harness his ability to control the possible, he was accidentally killed by Nathaniel Treeves. A large amount of the weftling's spark was then inherited by Nathaniel, giving him an immense power to manipulate the weft with this energy. The rest of the weftling's spark was left to pool in his corpse, which was stolen away by Sebastian Cope to be used to power his magic. His corpse was stored in an immense underground chamber beneath Mordew to which the Master periodically visited.

During this time, the weftling's face was removed from his corpse and placed on the dead body of Nathan Treeves's brother. It was then frozen and stored underneath Mordew in The Hideout behind a magically locked and protected door.

### Mordew

Many decades later, the large majority of spark that Nathaniel had obtained from killing the weftling began transferring to his son, Nathan Treeves. This was due to Nathaniel's declining health and eventual death. Some time after this occurred, the corpse of the weftling was discovered by Nathan Treeves and Dashini as they fled the master's Gill Men. During their escape, part of the weftling's flesh was consumed by Nathan, granting him a large amount of Spark energy, which he used to create an army of Nathan-shaped Flukes to overthrow the Master. During the battle that followed, the God chamber was damaged, causing a hole to open and seawater to start flooding in. Using this immense amount of Spark energy so recklessly caused Nathan's material body to deteriorate (something that had been occurring ever since he started using magic). The master, who had planned for this to happen, then compressed Nathan's weftstuff into a tiny pellet, and stored it Clarissa's Locket thereby creating the weapon known as the Tinderbox.

### Malarkoi

Some time afterwards, Nathan's dog Sirius, led by ghosts, uncovered the locked chamber in which the weftling's face was stored. He consumed the face, causing him to become a god. In the ensuing fight between God Dog and the master, the locket escaped the master's possession and was pulled down the slopes of Mordew towards the god chamber. The master, upon realizing that it that amount of weftling's spark returned to its body it would reanimate, threw himself down into the chamber, followed by Sirius. He landed on the weftling's corpse as it tries to reanimate with the Tinderbox's power, and wrestled it away. He then used its power to de-materialise Sirius. However, as he did so, one of Sirius's offspring (Treachery) grabbed the locket and translated herself away. As Sirius dematerialized, he came into contact with the weftling's corpse, causing what power was absorbed into him from its face to begin reanimating the weftling. As he started to come alive, Clarissa Delacroix weft-translated herself into the corpse and, due to her efforts to synchronize her weftstuff to the weftling's began merging with him to become the new weftling.
