Kesi: What You Need to Know About This City

If you’re starting your adventure in Master of Lore, chances are you’ll soon find yourself in Kesi — the beating heart of Loom – Woven Worlds. More than just a backdrop, Kesi is a living, breathing city where every alley, guild, and whispering tavern can shape your destiny.

Let’s dive into what makes this city unique and why it’s the perfect stage for your first stories.

A city at the crossroads

Kesi is one of the great capitals of the Tapestry, sitting at a cosmic and political crossroads. Culturally rich and strategically vital, it has become a hub for trade, diplomacy, and intrigue. But with its prosperity comes tension: Kesi lies directly in the path of the Weavers’ conquest. This means every district, every faction, and every NPC carries the weight of looming war.

Whether you’re a local or a newcomer, survival here demands more than strength — it requires cunning, alliances, and sometimes betrayal.

🧭 Districts full of secrets

Kesi is divided into districts, each with its own flavor and dangers:

• The Merchant Quarters: bustling with markets, guilds, and clandestine deals.
• The Tunnels: home to yrch communities and shadow networks.
• The Barracks: where kabutomusha and human militias prepare for war.
• The Scholar’s Circle: knowledge, sorcery, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Exploring Kesi means navigating between these layers of society. Who you talk to — and who you trust — will define your path.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 NPCs you already know

One of the unique aspects of the Master of Lore is that your character is from Kesi. That means many NPCs are already part of your backstory:

• Childhood friends, rivals, or mentors can reappear at key moments.
• Some NPCs may offer help, others may hold grudges, and a few may hide their true agendas.

Conversations aren’t just flavor — they can reveal clues, items, and missions. Recruit allies wisely, because in Kesi, loyalty is as valuable as gold.

⚔️ Factions and the Eternal Struggle

Kesi reflects the larger conflict of the Tapestry: the Weavers’ ambition to control destiny versus those who would resist their binding magic.

• The Weavers see themselves as bringers of order and peace.
• The resistance believes that freedom, even chaotic freedom, is worth fighting for.
• Neutral parties — merchants, wanderers, mercenaries — try to profit or survive between these two forces.

Your choices in Kesi will draw you closer to one side or the other. And once you pick a side, the city itself changes around you.

🌀 Magic in the streets

Kesi is a hotbed for all five forms of sorcery that shape the Tapestry: Chanting, Patterning, Burning, Weaving, and Cutting. The air itself feels charged, with chanters lifting morale in the taverns, yrch fire-mages lurking in tunnels, and whispers of cutters who can sever fate itself.

For a player, this means opportunities — but also danger. Every corner of the city could hold an ally, a rival, or a trap woven with magic.

🚀 Why Kesi matters

Kesi isn’t just a city — it’s the narrative engine of Master of Lore. It’s where your story begins, where your relationships take root, and where the threads of your destiny first tangle with the great Loom.

It’s a place of commerce and culture, but also of espionage, rebellion, and war. Most importantly: it’s yours to explore, shape, and survive.

So next time you log into Master of Lore and the Loremaster sets the scene in Kesi, remember: every decision you make here can echo across the entire Woven World.
