From the heedless change of the Wyld came ordered growth. The Weaver selected sections of the turbulentcreation and kept them from dissolving into the boisterous whole at the instant of their birth. Undifferentiated creation was thereby structured and locked into form. Thus did the Weaver spin the first strands of that structure which would become the fabric of the universe - the Pattern Web.
This changed everything. Where there was form, there could be growth and progress. Meaning was now imposed on meaningless potential. Inconstant infinity had yielded to enduring eternity. Then the Wyrm arrived and pruned away sections of the Weaver's creation. The Weaver's perfect patterns were now imperfect, but balanced. According to the Garou, this is the true cosmological cycle of chaos, creation, and destruction. It lasted an eternity, but was ultimately shattered when the Weaver gained consciousness.
The Garou disagree on exactly what happened. Some say that only the Triat can completely comprehend it. Nonetheless, there are theories. Some say the Weaver tried to spin the entire Wyld into full, patterned existence. This created an explosion of creation, which drove the Weaver insane. She looked into the Web and saw only madness. The Wyrm, exhasuted from trying to maintain the balance, became ensnared in creation. The Wyrm is still there, these theorists say, struggling to free itself and destroying all creation from the inside.
Others say the Weaver was far more calculating, and that her only madness id power-lust. The Weaver, say these Garou, attempted to make logical advancement and permanence the sornerstones of the Tellurian. Once she established causality, she set out to impose causality on everything. The Wyrm was an obstacle to this process, because it destroyed by its own rules rather than the rules of the Weaver. So the Weaver ensnared the Wyrm in the Pattern Web and directed its destruction along the lines of causality. But her control over it is not absolute, and it still manages to destroy blindly, along a pattern pther than hers. This limits her power, which is cosmologically helpful, but injures Gaia, which is not.
Still other Garou, like the Glass Walkers, claim that the Wyrm is the source of trouble, because the Wyrm attempted to destroy the Wyld altogether. If the Wyld were gone, nothing more could be created, and the Wyrm would emerge victorious. The Wyrm tried to use the Weaver to weaken the Wyld by ensnaring it, but the Weaver could not bind all of infinity. Instead, she spun herself into madness. The Wyrm was caught in a trap of its own devising, and remains there to this day. Meanwhile, the eternal Wyld endures. The Glass Walkers insist that the Weaver is simply trying to defend herself, and that she holds the key to stopping the Wyrm.
Most Garou agree that the Weaver was the first of the Triat to gain intelligence. Whether this drove her mad or is a product of her madness is unknown.
The Weaver is now powerful beyond her station. The ancient balance of pattern and chaos has been replaced by stagnation and decay. When her Webs are finished, all the Tellurian will be bound in rigid, motionless, changeless strands.
