Weaving and casting have been a part of Azatheria for as long as history has been recorded.

Myths and
legends of miraclemen and warrior witches are spread across the continent as scattered as the peoples
themselves. These tales of men turning sticks to steel form the basis of religious beliefs in most densely
populated areas. While historians do not agree on when men first discovered how to weave-cast, there is
no denying that most of the advancements to the art occurred after the first Truthseeker was fabricated.

At the height of the Suemerian Empire, everyone had at least one weaver or caster in their immediate
family. There were no laws like those of today that limit weave-casting to nobles and the military. Before
Spiritism became as widespread as it is today, most weave-caster institutions were not shy about
exploring the utility of demon-bonds during fabrication. Most weavers these days would gasp at the
suggestion and yet the first Truthseekers and Truthkeepers were all sealed with demon blood.

No account of weave-caster history would be complete without mention of Kaelum the kindly. Despite
the best efforts of the Order of Spiritism to obscure his contributions, anyone with any knowledge of
Zinthari or Azatherian history will tell you it is no coincidence that his lifetime overlaps with the most
rapid explosion of new weave-casting implements. There is no telling how much more he could have
contributed to the art had he not been executed at the behest of the first Venetrum governor after the
fall of Suemeria.

There are only two main principles to the art of weave-casting. The third is simply the combination of the
two fundamental laws of legitimacy and valminity. Legitimacy simply means that the tools used for any
fabrication or transformation in weaving and casting respectively must exist independent of each other.
Valminity requires that the two media being fabricated or transformed must be of at least equal value to
the person carrying out the process. Famously it is said that ‘You can not weave silver from shit’.
