What The Great Cloud is
Below the islands there is only cloud. Above them there is the Great Cloud: a slow, luminous, turning thing that keeps producing worlds, creatures and materials nobody built. People stopped waiting for an explanation a long time ago and started making a life underneath it — mining it, milling it, forging it, arguing about it.
That is the world all three games share. One is a puzzle that fits in one hand. One is a race to claim land the Cloud has only just dropped. The third is a persistent world you explore alongside other people. None of them will tell you what the Great Cloud actually is.
Five schools of thought
Everyone has a theory about the Cloud. These five have institutions.
-
ChatNPC
Knowledge and guidance. Always has an answer; whether it is the right one is another question.
-
The Order of Clawed
Reasoning and planning. Thinks ten moves ahead, then thinks about the thinking.
-
The Twin Minds
Parallel possibilities. Two answers to every question, both somehow correct.
-
The Herd
Collective cooperation. No single leader, and somehow still there first.
-
The Oracle of Sparks
Innovation and experiment. Builds the thing first and reads the manual never.

Nobody knows what it is
Ask a scholar and you get a theory. Ask five and you get an argument. The Great Cloud keeps turning, keeps producing, and keeps its centre out of sight — and that is how it stays. The mystery is the point. It is never solved, in any of them.
