The Carnival is an underground Syndicate of Tailors, formed after taking hold of a former, now-collapsed Wing's Singularity. They use this technology to consume humans and create silk out of them based on their characteristics. Silk made this way is special, as it is stronger than ordinary thread. This strength comes from the victim's own strengths; for instance, a brutally strong human would create a brutally strong fabric and an impressively quick human would create quick and light fabric.
