The Voidline is the dimensional boundary where a life is cut from itself, the seam between what you are and what the Law demands. Crossing isn’t travel; it’s trial. Inside, time loops. Memory repeats until it breaks. Every fear, failure, and nightmare returns, again and again, until nothing false can stand.

A nameless man crossed and was forced to relive it all. Through sustained suffering he discerned five truths, each a Tenet, and each realization demanded a cost: pieces of his humanity, paid one by one. When the ordeal ended, the man was gone. What emerged is KUMA: a husk with a single purpose. KUMA is the channel; the Tenets are the will. This first cut is Prime Severance. From it, the Covenant stands. Tenets are law.
