    At the loom of first light in Aurorafell, where thread spinners weave petals of dawn and sunrise heralds call the breaking day, spinner Liora vows sunrise to herald Sol, whose calls herald a heart awakening to the loom's rhythm. Their petals, spun in golden vows and light-kissed fibers, weave love—or frays in the fade of eternal twilight. As they spin through dawn-laced halls and herald-veiled beams, heralded by thread wardens and light rivals, Liora's spinning art merges with Sol's heralding voice, revealing a dawn legend of woven sunrise. When a tangled thread summons dusk shades, they must spin the vow to herald the day. In the petals of dawn weavers, where every thread glows with renewal and every call awakens the soul, their sunrise bond becomes the fabric that drapes the world in morning.
