The Musubi Also known as the Bonding Ceremony, the Musubi is a recent ritual that allows two beings to link their essences. Through this magical union, the linked beings can share their minds, thoughts, feel each other's presence, or experience their counterpart’s emotions even at a great distance. However, when an Alterer forms such a bond with a Chimera, the duo develops powers that defy comprehension. Through this connection, the Alterer and their Alter Ego share their abilities, making them particularly apt at venturing into the Tumult. These pairs are called Exalts, and their existence offers new perspectives for humanity. When a Chimera bonds with an Alterer, its appearance stabilizes, as the human retains a memory of the form it is supposed to assume in their eyes.

The Rediscovery Endeavor Thanks to the Exalts, humanity can now aspire to explore the expanses affected by the Tumult. These pairs are sent as scouts and vanguards of the exploration forces. By capitalizing on their abilities, humanity hopes to stabilize the regions still subjected to the Tumult. Following in their wake, the Expeditionary Corps, composed of thousands of women and men, are tasked with reclaiming the territories thus liberated. After centuries of isolation, this great common endeavor marks the beginning of an incredible adventure, in order to explore a world completely transformed.
