The lore in 100 words

Balance is the first Essence — the law that reality must hold. The Alliance builds its entire covenant on it, and seven other factions draw on it as a stabilizer: Clockwork uses it to keep directives consistent, the Eastern Union to keep discipline from tipping into rigidity, and the Cursed — who do not wield it — are the standing proof of what a world looks like without it.
