** Since Narrator’s real name is completely unknown, it became common for players to jokingly claim that his real name was Buttface Steve. In the Cirque Faeriel intro event, while [[BlatantLies proporting to be Narrator’s best friend]], Chadfrey claims (unconvincingly) that Narrator’s real name is Steve.

-->'''The Narrator''': Surround him, Underlings, just as your mistress instructed! Gather from every corner! Stab your foe with your horns and tear him with your talons! Throw that detestable half-wit off the balcony! It's been quite a while since I last heard the satisfying crunch of his body against the ground. I wonder, Hero... If you fall to your death out here, so far from my Shadow Stage, will you still [[ResurrectiveImmortality get back up]] again?

The story and the [=NPCs=] is one of the most important aspects of the site. The story begins 1,000 years AfterTheEnd, leaving only a small Remnant of reality untouched when the world was un-woven -- the small city of [[MeaningfulName Hope]]. Users begin within this remnant, enrolled as students in Hope University. Recently in Hope, mysterious creatures known as Kith have appeared from the Tattered Weave, which users can ally with. Since the introduction of Kith and users, other remnants of the world outside of Hope, the Enchanted Forest and Coral Reef, have since been discovered, with more [=NPCs=] to interact with and more stories to discover.

[[caption-width-right:350:An interactive community]]
''[[https://tatteredworld.com/ Tattered World]]'' is a virtual online community that includes avatar personalization, leveling and interacting with creatures called kith, crafting such as cooking and tailoring, and interactions with [=NPCs=] through quests and story events. It was first launched around 2016.

In terms of gameplay, flash games, posting on the forums and interacting with the [=NPCs=] through quests are primary ways to earn "Shards", the base currency of the site. Premium currency, "Gems" are earned through a few daily quests, daily game high scores, and by purchasing them through the site.

The story and the [=NPCs=] is one of the most important aspects of the site. The story begins 1,000 years AfterTheEnd, leaving only a small Remnant of reality untouched when the world was un-woven -- the small city of [[MeaningfulName Hope]]. Users begin within this remnant, enrolled as students in Hope University. Recently in Hope, mysterious creatures known as Kith have appeared from the Tattered Weave, which users can ally with. Since the introduction of Kith and users, other remnants of the world outside of Hope, the Enchanted Forest and Coral Reef, have since been discovered, with more [=NPCs=] to interact with and more stories to discover.

** Dr. Stuffy started as a player joke/headcanon that Lycus might have a pet stuffed weasel. Shortly after players sent the NPC a stuffed weasel in a trade, asking if he "lost Dr. Stuffy," it was introduced as an official toy item, and can now be seen sitting on the backshelf of his lab
** The special fanfiction books released on April Fools contain lots of references to actual the players' interactions and headcanons about the characters, including a werewolf AU
** The special 'Thespiansona' books that can be acquired through one of the The Scribe's quests. Various players were making Thespian versions of themselves and sharing them on site, and Scribe liked the idea so much that she decided to write down the parts so people could read them.
* BigWordShout: Often used in events, during climatic moments.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Subverted. You would expect someone who walks through unraveled reality to die horribly, but it has never happened.
* DigitalAvatar: It is common for petsites to have avatars. Tattered Weave is no exception.
* ForeignLookingFont: Only in the background art, but whatever language Hope used before the Cataclysm, it wasn't English.
* GoodVersusGood: Often found in events, two characters will fight, however neither of them are completely in the wrong.
** For example, Andre and his kith Fray had an event where Fray accidentally tore Andre's prized friendship necklace. Fray was in the wrong, but he was still a good kith.
** Another example is Tethys and Dione arguing over whether Dione should release her tailoring patterns. It was for the greater good, but it was still Dione's passion.
* HeroicSacrifice: The hero Althea gave her life to preserve Hope from the Tatters.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Small fourth wall breaks are common, often referencing the writing staff.

* ScavengerWorld: Appears to apply to the Pirates from the Coral Reef, with a weird amount of very high-tech machinery on their ships that they've mostly repurposed into cooking equipment.
* VideogameCaringPotential: A lot of the players are willing to help out newbies with their quests, as starting out can be a little rough.
** On the gameplay side of things, there's also taking care of your Kith. You can feed them, play with them, and even read books with them--and all of them contribute to the Kith's stats, such as Guard, and will eventually change a Kith's personality completely!
* VisibleSilence: Sometimes seen in events during suspenseful moments.
