Editing The Weaver (World of Darkness)


[[File:The Weaver-1-min.jpg|alt=TheWeaverWOD|frameless|494x494px]]

{{Quote|<poem>No matter what travelers experience, they know the cosmos surrounding the Axis Mundi was formed from three primal forces: the Wyrm, the Weaver, and the Wyld. They’re collectively known as the Triat. Galliards have spent centuries competing to see who can elaborate on the most creative explanations they can fathom, but the simplest explanations are the best.

In the time before time, the primal forces of the Triat created the universe, but since then, they’ve been forced out of balance. The exact reason why has been a subject of extensive debate, an explanation so vital that it’s created a great deal of conflict. Regardless, the forces of the Triat are now slowly ravaging the Tellurian. They’ll continue to do so until some cosmic event corrects them or, more likely, the Apocalypse brings the end of all existence.</poem>|Werewolf 20th Anniversary Edition}}

'''The Weaver''' is one of the three great spirits of the Triat. Its role was traditionally to impose order on the chaotic creations of the Wyld, giving them structure and purpose for their lifespan until they were destroyed by the [[Wyrm (World of Darkness)|Wyrm]], thus maintaining a balance between creation and destruction.

Many Garou attribute the current imbalance in the Triat to the Weaver. According to their mythology, the Weaver became frustrated with its creations being undone by the Wyrm and spun webs to imprison the Wyrm, aiming to halt its destructive force. This confinement drove the Wyrm to madness, leading it to indiscriminately destroy everything, rather than merely the things whose time had come.[[File:GlyphWeaver-min.png|alt=GlyphWeaver|thumb|199x199px|Garou glyph for the Weaver]]The Weaver's avatars and progeny often appear as spiders or insects. It (often referred to as she) is a patron of law, order, science, and technology, and is revered by some semi-heretical Glass Walkers, Ratkin, and Ananasi (who call her Grandmother Spider and believe she created their patron spirit, Queen Ananasa). However, many acknowledge that the Weaver’s influence has become overwhelming in the modern world, where cities and steel dominate over nature.

Mankind is considered the Weaver’s adopted child, tasked with bringing order to the world and helping to quell the chaos perpetuated by her Celestine counterparts. To aid in this, the Weaver endowed mortals with three gifts: Dogma, Science, and Technology. It is said that after the Impergium, the Weaver vowed never to allow her children to be persecuted again. Some Awakened (mages) of the Technocracy revere her under various guises, often naming her Stasis; her pursuit of unending perfection reflects the Technocratic aim for a static reality.

Bagheera and other Bastet refer to the Weaver using the masculine name Rajah (a Hindi term meaning "regent").

The Weaver has three Incarna: The Machine (embodying her gift of Technology), the Patriarch (embodying Dogma), and Science (embodying Science).
