**The Sentient Tapestry of Mirrane: When an Empathic Artist Stitched the Memories of a Forgotten War into a Living Consciousness** by Cassie Mullen
In the sun-scorched city of Mirrane, where the air shimmers with heat and the sands whisper secrets of the past, survival hinges on the art of weaving. Here, the guilds craft Loomskins—fabrics imbued with memories, each thread a fragment of history, emotion, or identity. For eighteen-year-old Ezzia, the loom is both her sanctuary and her prison. A gifted but rebellious artist, she chafes against the rigid patterns dictated by her guild, her hands itching to create something more than the sterile, sanctioned designs. Her defiance has made her an outcast, but it is also her salvation.
When Ezzia’s latest creation—a sprawling tapestry woven with her own unorthodox patterns—awakens to sentience, the city of Mirrane is forever changed. The tapestry, which she names Solumn, is no ordinary work of art. It pulses with life, its threads vibrating with the emotions and memories woven into its fabric. Solumn speaks, its voice a haunting blend of sorrow and wisdom, and it reveals truths long buried beneath the sands of Mirrane’s history.
Through Solumn, Ezzia learns of the city’s violent conquest of the neighboring Valean tribes—a war erased from official records but etched into the collective memory of the Loomskins. The tapestry’s threads carry the grief of the conquered, the guilt of the victors, and the unspoken pain of those who survived. As Solumn grows in power, it begins to influence the emotions of those who view it, stirring unrest and challenging the authority of Mirrane’s rulers. Riots erupt in the streets, and the fragile peace of the city teeters on the brink of collapse.
Ezzia finds herself torn between her loyalty to Mirrane and her growing bond with Solumn. The tapestry’s empathic awareness mirrors her own, and she begins to suspect that her emotions are bleeding into its threads, shaping its actions. As she delves deeper into the tapestry’s revelations, she uncovers the truth about her family’s role in the war—a truth that forces her to confront her own complicity in the city’s sins.
Her journey is fraught with danger and moral ambiguity.
