'''Foldartals''' allow the player to influence the [[Expeditioner's Joklumarkar]] run's environment by manipulating the type of nodes and providing helpful bonuses upon accessing them.

==Overview==
Foldartals are divided into two pairs: '''Layout''' (''Aestar''; ᛇᛏᚨᚱ) to select the subjected node(s) and '''Source''' (''Kvama''; ᚲᚢᚨᛗᚨ) which applies an effect to the selected node(s). The Foldartals need to be '''declared''' on the main map &mdash; before entering any certain node &mdash; to be effective, which would lower [[Collapse]] by at least 1 and could be more with certain Concords and Flairs (explained below). If one enters hidden [[operation]]s in non-combat nodes and uses a combat-related Source Foldartal, the effectiveness will be further amplified.

There are 38 Foldartals made up of 19 Layout and Source ones further divided into four themes distinguished by their color scheme: {{Color|code=ff4532|'''Clan''' (''Thjodar;'' ᚦᛃᛟᚦᚨᚱ)}}, {{Color|code=4ffaa5|'''Nature''' (''Andar;'' ᚨᚾᛞᚨᚱ)}}, {{Color|code=0085ff|'''Soul''' (''Snjofna;'' ᛊᚾᛃᛟᚠᚾᚨ)}}, and '''Society''' (''Dikilleikar;'' ᛞᛁᚲᛁᛚᛖᛁᚲᚨᚱ); Foldartals of different themes can be paired together but Society ones ''must be paired with each other,'' allowing a total of 325 possible combinations, and pairing a Layout and Source Foldartal of the same theme will trigger a '''Concord''' (''Kvaethir;'' ᚲᚢᛇᚦᛁᚱ) that gives additional benefits. There are also four '''Flairs''' (''Kenningar''; ᚲᛖᚾᛁᛜᚨᚱ) which enhances the Foldartal's effects and might be embedded to one when obtained during a Braving Nature +3 or higher run. 5 new Foldartals, 2 Layouts of the new {{Color|code=B10021|'''Vision'''}} theme and 3 Sources are added in Expansion II, increasing the count to 43.

Foldartals come in three tiers, with the first denoted by a four-pointed star (✦), the second by a five-pointed star (★), and the third by a six-pointed star (✶). The higher the Foldartal's tier, the stronger its effects will be, with the third-tier Foldartals are locked until a certain condition is met.

Keep in mind that Bosky Passages and Dreadful Foes ''cannot be turned into something else with Foldartals,'' and all Foldartals <u>cannot be used on Prophecies</u>.

==Background==
[[File:IS-Awfully Abnormal Omen.png|thumb|An example of the Samifjod Foldartals by interpreting the pattern of tree barks]]
''Foldartals'' are wood barks fallen off from Samifjod tribal sacred trees. With specific runes on them, they represent the message of the "All-Father" &ndash; [[Sami (Feranmut)|Sami]] Itself wants to convey with his children, the Samifjod. These messages may relate to the past, the future, or some pure emotion. Interpreting Foldartals is complicated because given the time, location, and people decrypting them, even same runes could yield drastically different meanings. 

To carefully follow the will of Sami, [[Snowpriests]] and shamans in Sami tribes are trained to interpret Foldartals and offer prophecies and guidance according to them. They would piece two Foldartals together: the upper one is called the '''Layout''' (''Gera Koma;'' ᚷᛖᚱᚨ ᚲᛟᛗᚨ), and the lower one is called the '''Source''' (''Gera Aesa;'' ᚷᛖᚱᚨ ᛇᛊᚨ), and make an interpretation, which is called a '''Declaration''' (''Gera Vaenda;'' ᚷᛖᚱᚨ ᚹᛇᚾᛞᚨ).

==Tips==
Compared to [[Phantom & Crimson Solitaire/Plays|Plays]] in [[Phantom & Crimson Solitaire]] and Enlightenments in [[Mizuki & Caerula Arbor]], some Foldartals' effects only work in certain nodes, while the others affect the whole run. Either way, they can be activated at the player's discretion, as long as there are Foldartals and valid nodes to declare, and multiple effects can be active on the same node. Therefore, choosing the correct Foldartals and the right moment to declare them is very important to reduce the run's difficulty.
