It brings three [[Ecology of Practices|practices]] into contact: the [[World-Building|world-composing practices]] of ''[[Ajayeb al-makhlughat]]'', the compositional techniques of [[high dark fantasy]], and the [[Techne|technical operations]] of contemporary game-making. The bestiary provides the primary heritage anchor. Dark fantasy provides training in the construction of damaged worlds, incomplete histories, and interpretive mystery. Game-making provides the material and technical medium through which relations can become spatial, systemic, and playable.</ins></div></td></tr>
