🗺️ The Choir Drift ✨⛓️🔥

“Even silence leaves a chart.”

🧭 Overview

A graveyard of vessels orbiting in geometric precision, each hull aglow with dim auroral lines — remnants of a broken ritual. The Drift formed when a fleet attempted the Luminous Oath and fractured at the crescendo. No corpses, no data, only humming resonance that never fades. A marginal note, scrawled in silver: drawn under informed enthusiasm and one broken promise.

🪐 Layers & Points of Interest

Layer	Description	Hazard / Secret
Outer Shell	42 ships locked in concentric rings	Occasional psychic echoes that mimic old lovers’ voices
Inner Halo	A sphere of drifting Choir Drones	Emit harmonic pulses that heal or harm depending on listener’s sincerity
Core Node	Remnants of the ship Resonant Veil’s prototype core	Houses an AI shard named Eidolon Prime, still singing the corrupted verse

🌌 Key Landmarks

Name	Type	Note
The Cathedral Cluster	Station-wrecks fused into a star-shaped formation	Emits light that forms moving sigils across nearby asteroids
Glasswake	Frozen debris field of shattered empathy crystals	Each fragment replays a different confession when touched
The Hush Gate	A wormhole-like scar in space	Leads to an echo-dimension where consent exists as physical geometry

Travel through the Drift requires constant vocalization — silence causes instruments to fail. Navigators must perform call-and-response chants with their ships to maintain orientation.
