The Palimpsests
"We carry the ghost memories of timelines that were unwritten. We are the survivors of false time."
Composed of entities whose soul signatures have been repeatedly edited across the river forks of the Ark Streams, this faction retains ghostly echoes of previous iterations. They assemble within volatile memetic pockets that materialize exclusively when remembered, resisting the Sovereignty's efforts to establish a singular timeline.
