Triat

The Triat in Madtown by Night

Cosmic Role: Embodiment of Order, Pattern, Law, and Form. The weaver of reality’s “code”—her influence runs from the cosmic lattice to the digital web and Madison’s technomagick.
Local Reflection: Madison’s Capitol Node is a manifestation of the Weaver’s design—a spiritual and physical locus where structure and ritual maintain the boundaries of reality. The city’s obsession with grids, bureaucracy, and information technology is her echo.
Servants & Influences:
- Ananasa: The First Spinner, Queen of Spiders, the Weaver’s first living agent on Earth—creator of the Ananasi (were-spiders) and spiritual taxonomist.
- Technocracy: The Syndicate, Progenitors, and New World Order channel the Weaver’s power into science, surveillance, and control.
- Key Locations: The Digital Web, the Olbrich Gardens Pattern Web, and the underground infrastructure of Madison (water, power, data lines).

Cosmic Role: Avatar of Entropy, Decay, Transformation, and (once) Balance. Now driven mad by the Weaver’s excess, often cast as the source of corruption, pollution, and cosmic horror.
Local Reflection: The Nameless (your cosmic force of erasure), Pentex, and corrupted Nodes/Caerns all pulse with the Wyrm’s taint. The Capitol Node is a frontline in the war between dissolution and pattern.
Servants & Influences:
- Black Spiral Dancers: Garou tribe that fell to the Wyrm, serving as its most loyal foot soldiers.
- Pentex: Corporate front for the Wyrm’s influence, working with corrupt mages and vampires to erode Madison’s spiritual core.
- Nameless: In your chronicle, the Nameless may be an echo or offshoot of the Wyrm—erasure incarnate, seeking to dissolve memory, identity, and Consensus.
- Key Locations: Quarry Ridge Den (Black Spiral stronghold), Pentex facilities, corrupted digital nodes.

Cosmic Role: Pure Creativity, Chaos, Possibility, and Change. The Wyld is the spark of invention, inspiration, and the Dreaming.
Local Reflection: The Fae, Dreaming Echoes Freehold, and the creative bohemian energy of Madison’s counterculture all resonate with the Wyld.
Servants & Influences:
- Fae Courts: The Seelie and Unseelie, especially those who oppose the calcifying power of the Weaver and the erasure of the Wyrm.
- Mokole (Memory-Kings): Keepers of Gaia’s dreams and memories, subtle guides of change.
- Local Mages: Verbena, Cult of Ecstasy, Akashics, and Hollow Ones channel Wyld inspiration in rituals and art.
- Key Locations: Dreaming Echoes Freehold, Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Capitol Square during paradox surges.

The Triat is not just background lore—their struggle shapes every supernatural event in Madison. The Caerns, Nodes, and even New Avalon are echoes of their cosmic conflict.
Supernatural leaders in the city often (knowingly or not) serve one or more aspects of the Triat, and their allegiances, rituals, or betrayals reflect the Triat’s shifting power.
Reality Glitches, memory loss, and spiritual surges are expressions of Triat imbalance, with the Nameless/erasure as a new, unpredictable vector—possibly an emergent fourth force or a symptom of Triat collapse.
