Loom follows a young Weaver called Bobbin, who must save the world from Chaos - an entity who intends to reshape the world with a magical Loom. Fortunately, Bobbin destroys the Loom during the final showdown.

But because Chaos had already began using the enchanted instrument, half the world is under his rule, while the other half is governed by the Weavers. In the ending, Bobbin's allies assure him that they'll destroy Chaos in the future.

Even though Loom was singular title, the head designer, Brian Moriarty, had a TON of ideas for the planned sequels, Forge and The Fold. In Forge, our new hero, Rusty Nailbender, is inspired to create a movement to destroy Chaos, after the demonic beast enslaved his people. The cancelled sequel would've concluded with a show-stopping battle, which would've nearly resulted in the world's annihilation.

The final instalment centred around Fleece Firmflanks uniting the Guilds to defeat Chaos. When Chaos appears to have the upper hand against Fleece, Bobbin and the Weavers storm in, and help vanquish their adversary once and for all. After the Loom is remade, peace between the Guilds is finally restored.

Even though a lot of thought was put into the potential sequels, Moriarty said, "This was all just talk. I was busy with other projects, and nobody else felt strongly enough about the games to make a commitment. So Forge and The Fold never got made."
