Add up to 8 druids. Players don't need an account.
Every Druid carries a pouch of five weave types, each representing a fundamental pattern of knot-craft: the Loop, the Span, the Cross, the Bend, and the Branch. Each challenge specifies how many of each weave type is required.
A challenge is drawn at random. The card reveals the exact set of weaves required — no more, no fewer. Players must select those weaves from their pouch and use all of them to form a single closed Celtic knot with no loose ends.
Select your difficulty, draw a challenge, and race against the clock. Tap Stop Timer when your knot is closed. Mark it complete to record your time and track your progress.
Two or more Druids compete simultaneously. The same challenge is revealed to all. Each Druid races to complete their knot first. The first to lay down a closed, valid knot calls the duel — honor system prevails. Record the winner and optionally photograph the winning knot for the chronicles.
Easy challenges use fewer weave types with simpler interactions. Medium challenges introduce more weave variety. Hard challenges push the limits of the pouch and your pattern sense.
In the age before memory, the Morrigan — goddess of fate, battle, and sovereignty — wove the first knot from the threads of the world itself. She saw in the closed loop a truth that mortals could not: that all things are bound, and that the binding is the meaning. She taught the first Druids not to fight this truth, but to master it.
The Guild was not founded so much as it emerged — from small circles of weavers who traded patterns by firelight, who recognized each other's work by the intricacy of their closures. In time these circles formalized into what outsiders call the Guild of the Knot, though its members simply call it the Circle.
The Guild maintains no single meeting place. It convenes wherever two or more Druids sit down with their pouches and a challenge between them. A Duel is therefore also a rite — a reaffirmation that the Circle holds.
To be a Druid in the Circle is not a title granted but a practice earned. Every Druid carries a pouch of weaves — physical tokens of the five fundamental patterns. The pouch is personal; no two are woven identically. But the weaves inside are universal, and it is on that shared vocabulary that the Duel is conducted.
Every completed Duel is recorded in the Chronicle — the living history of the Circle. A winning knot may be photographed and stored, a small act of testimony that says: this pattern was possible; I made it so. The Chronicle is never finished. There is always another challenge, another Druid, another night by the fire.
