Old Fold Node

The remains of a structure at the intersection of two now-defunct energy lines, predating any current settlement. Old Fold Node's architecture is unlike anything built by the Fold's current inhabitants — curved, organic, almost biological. It suggests the Fold was once stabilized differently, by something alive. Within the Luminous Fold, this site is part of the gridded, measured landscape that radiates out from Lumina and the Central Fold. The Fold's clocks, roads, and institutions assume reality may be wholly described, and on this plateau they almost can — the Loosening and Time Instability are weakest here. The site answers, directly or indirectly, to one of the Seven Circles, and the Cartographic Society of Iterants keeps notes on every measurable thing that happens within sight of it.
