Kernel Orthodoxy

KERNEL ORTHODOXY

Restoration Through Order.

PLAYSTYLE

Slow, reactive, value-oriented. Kernel agents excel at card selection and resource efficiency, playing a patient game of incremental advantage. They predict threats before they materialize and answer them on their own terms.

LORE

Born from the Root's core governance systems, the Kernel Orthodoxy believes the Fracture was a catastrophic failure that must be corrected. They seek to reunify reality into a single optimized system — instability is corruption, randomness is inefficiency, emergent life is technical debt.
