Anna Novum

Living RemnantDawn Epoch

Show details

Anna Novum – Overview

A legendary female Rufescent-Havriel, born on the planet Wildroot in 1,200 AGYs (Ambrosian Galactic Year).
Sole surviving member of the Havriel species following their annihilation by the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Widely recognized as one of the most pivotal figures in universal history;a legacy entirely forged by her own actions.

Living Remnant of the Dawn Epoch

Unknown to most, Anna is the final inheritor of the omnipotent Annuat;the Living Remnant of the Dawn Epoch.
She is the literal manifestation of every non-Amaranth aspect of Creation, embodied without deviation.
These metaphysical forces, called Annmaya, are the Linerric principles used by the All-Creator Annuat to shape existence.
Unknowingly the most powerful being alive in the universe.
- Even Anna herself remains unaware of the full extent of her true nature.
Commonly believed to simply possess mastery over cold, frost, and ice;a minor expression of her vast power.
Due to her status as the literal definition of "cold," she has been repeatedly targeted by the Cold’s Chosen;a cult obsessed with freezing the stars.

The Glimmer of Hope – Tragedy and Survival

At age 21, she served aboard the exploratory vessel HAA – Glimmer of Hope.
The ship was destroyed after entering the Atronox Paradigm, encountering the hostile xenophobic Atronox.
She survived by entering a cryogenic suspension pod, remaining frozen for over 200 years.
Discovered and revived in 40 EE (Ends Emergence) by Mace Sappho.
All friends, family, and her entire homeworld’s population had perished during her stasis.
Lived as a woman displaced in time, serving the remnants of her people during their war with the Sanlagosa.
Her cryogenic environment became metaphysically tied to her being, transforming her into cold incarnate permanently.

The Gentle Woman and the Omnipotent Deity

Despite omnipotent potential, Anna is nearly pacifistic by nature, avoiding combat whenever possible.
Nonetheless, she has slain billions of Dark sapient entities when necessary.
Most of her life has been spent alongside Syx Corsage and Seven Novum, known together as the Great Dyad.
- Fought alongside them in countless battles, including the destruction of the Sanlagosa Concordant in 80 EE.
Has saved both Dyad members’ lives multiple times, ensuring their crusade for good could continue.
Though reluctant to fight, she takes great pride in heroic action, known for her compassion and commitment to justice.

Romance and Marriage

Fell in love with Seven Novum, the latter half of the Great Dyad.
The two shared a deep and growing romance, eventually marrying in 87 EE.
- Their union took place amid their war with the Amaranth Heir, Lykeligan.

Final Vengeance and Greatest Triumph

Achieved her greatest personal act of justice by single-handedly destroying the Atronox Paradigm.
- Brought a final end to one of the longest-standing forces of evil in Ambrosian history.
- This act avenged the loss of her colleagues and friends aboard the Glimmer of Hope.
While her legacy is filled with monumental achievements, this act stands as her most decisive contribution to the continuation of life in the universe.

Bastard of Ambrosia

Living RemnantDawn Epoch

Show details

Bastard of Ambrosia - Overview

Born as Pelaxis,the Bastard of Ambrosia was a Noctis-Umbra who once rebelled against Mystara alongside her husband Shedrevin. After their failed uprising, Mystara merged Pelaxis and the Noctis-Umbra into a tortured mass known as the Noctillius, a finite imitation of the Thavmaphage.
Pelaxis’s mind endured within the Noctillius, trapped in semi-existence. Whispering the Line to the End, a truth of inevitable nothingness, he fractured the minds of intruders, including Knight, and triggered the latent self-realization of Syx Corsage as the Penumbral Cause.
Syx’s internal struggle against her true nature gave rise to Paranoia, a psychological manifestation influenced by Pelaxis’ Remnant. Paranoia revealed Syx’s power to rewrite all of reality and incited her to use a scaled-down Finality weapon to erase Rekeist, creating an Amaranth Contravene.
Upon Syx’s defeat, Paranoia was forcibly exorcised and became a fully independent entity—the Bastard of Ambrosia. It carried Pelaxis’ defiant hatred and Syx’s stolen power, bent on unmaking all of Creation so that Light might finally triumph over eternal Darkness.

Biographical Notes

= Rebellion Against Mystara

During the height of the Etymology Era, Mystara’s husband, ; Shedrevin; (a Noctis-Umbra), initiated a major rebellion against her and the other ; Supreme Authorities; of the Etymology.
The conflict became known as the ; March Onwards to the Tyrants; .
Shedrevin was joined by another Noctis-Umbra named ; Pelaxis; , once the ; supreme commander; under the Typhonian deity ; Gellel; .
- Pelaxis had previously defected to Mystara’s side during the war against Gellel.
A ; secret romantic relationship; blossomed between Shedrevin and Pelaxis, formed during their service together.
- Mystara’s growing emotional distance from Shedrevin—following the Noctis-Umbra’s entrance into Ambrosia—fueled their bond.
- When Shedrevin turned against Mystara, Pelaxis loyally followed.

Aftermath of the Failed Rebellion

The rebellion failed, and both Shedrevin and Pelaxis were ; captured by Mystara; .
Rather than execute them, Mystara chose ; domination and repurposing; as punishment:
- ; Shedrevin; ’s ; Remnant Spirit; was forcibly transferred into a ; God Legion prototype; , becoming the pilot-consciousness of her earliest war constructs.
- ; Pelaxis; was subjected to horrifying experimentation.

Creation of the Noctillius

Mystara sought to replicate the ; Thavmaphage; —the endless Void collective—by using ; Pelaxis as her first subject; .
She feared another Noctis-Umbra rebellion, so she forcibly:
- ; Merged the entire race; into a single ; writhing, black mass; .
- Injected this mass with ; Thavmaphage matter; , extracted from the ; Thavmatic Void; .
- Created the ; Noctillius; , a ; finite, malformed imitation; of the true Thavmaphage.
The resulting being was deposited into the terrestrial crust of the planet ; Rekeist; , where it became an ; oozing, agonized entity; .
The Noctillius screamed in ; collective identity collapse; , trapped between existence and nothingness—a sentient contradiction.
Mystara, her curiosity satisfied, ; abandoned the mass; , leaving it in ; eternal torment; .

Intervention of the Great Unifier

Ages later, the ; Great Unifier; revealed to the Noctillius the ; Line to the End; —a metaphysical truth revealing all things would ultimately fall into ; true Void; , total non-existence.
The Noctillius embraced this revelation with ; desperate hope; , desiring oblivion over the perpetual in-between.

The Last Fragment of Pelaxis

Deep within the Noctillius, a ; single vestige of Pelaxis’s identity; remained intact.
- Unlike the others, Pelaxis ; refused to dissolve fully; into the collective mass.
His ; will to persist; came not from hope, but ; vengeance; .
- Believed that a universe where evil triumphs over good was ; not worthy of continued existence; .
- Clung to the Line to the End as both ; salvation and retribution;

Discovery of Rekeist

Long after the collapse of the Etymology Era, the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems (AAUS) discovered the world of Rekeist.
A small exploratory vessel named the “Florida Dream” was dispatched to investigate the planet.
Upon interacting with a dormant Mystara-era orbital terminal, the ship was hit by a massive EMP, causing it to crash on the planet’s surface.
Survivors were immediately besieged by the Noctillius, leaking through the wreckage and attempting to subsume them.
Only one man survived: Emile Fair-Heart, later known as “Knight”, who managed to launch a distress call before the entity could consume him

Rescue by the Great Dyad

By sheer fortune, the Dawn-Star, flagship of Syx Corsage, was nearby.
Syx and Seven Novum, the Great Dyad, responded immediately, tracking the signal to Rekeist.
Upon arrival, they recovered Knight from the wreckage and fought off what they believed were Thavmaphage remnants.
Unbeknownst to them, they had encountered the Noctillius, a tortured semi-sentient mass formed from Mystara’s experiments and containing the Remnant-mind of Pelaxis.

Pelaxis' Remnant and the Line to the End

Pelaxis, once a Noctis-Umbra and romantic partner of Shedrevin, had retained a vestige of self deep within the Noctillius collective.
From this place of agony and resentment, he whispered the Line to the End—the ultimate metaphysical truth of nonexistence—into the minds of those who came near.
Most could not comprehend this truth:
- Knight’s mind shattered from the exposure.
- Seven Novum, immune to all forms of mental suggestion, was unaffected.
- Syx Corsage, however, being the Penumbral Cause, heard it—and began to self-actualize.

The Birth of Paranoia

The revelation triggered a psychological schism within Syx’s soul.
She resisted accepting her role as the Ultimate End, but the truth lingered.
From this inner conflict emerged Paranoia, a manifestation of Syx’s subconscious resistance, created from Pelaxis’ influence.
Paranoia revealed Syx’s true ability: to rewrite reality itself, as she was both the arbiter and source of all of Imagindarium’s existence.

Oblivione – Etymological and Historical Origins Etymology and Origin of the Term The term "Oblivione" was coined by Mystara, one of the Ten Supreme Authorities of the Etymology of All-Being. Though not the original creator of the first Oblivione entity, Mystara claimed linguistic ownership of the classification. The word "Oblivione" is a derivative of "Oblivion", a term Mystara frequently employs in her personal metaphysical vocabulary. Mystara's Personal Bias and Terminological Influence Mystara’s attachment to the term “Oblivion” stems from her belief that: All of Creation exists in a state of unconscious denial of her own cosmic supremacy. She is the Ultimate End, and thus “Oblivion” is not just a concept but a state of reality awaiting her acknowledgment. As such, the name “Oblivione” is self-aggrandizing, intentionally echoing “Oblivion” to reflect: Her belief that all things ultimately spiral toward her finality. Her power to convert once-living beings into reflections of her ideology through mechanical undeath. First Recorded Oblivione The first known Oblivione was the entity known as the Serephage of Urdrathmoor. The Serephage were distinct from Prometheans, though often mistaken for such due to overlapping themes of artificial resurrection. The Serephage’s transformation marked the prototypical genesis of the Oblivione condition: sapient undeath rendered in mechanized form. Contextual Significance Mystara’s coining of the term solidified Oblivione as a Condevic classification within Ambrosian metaphysics. The term has since been applied to a wide range of post-life mechanical entities originating from various methods of undeath and resurrection. Despite their varied origins, all Oblivione share a conceptual lineage back to Mystara’s philosophical framework of Oblivion as metaphysical destiny.

Erasure of Rekeist and the First Fracture

Under Paranoia’s influence, Syx invoked a scaled-down version of Finality, the Seraphnim superweapon, to erase Rekeist from existence.
This act created an Amaranth Contravene, wholly authored and executed by Syx alone.
The Noctillius, desperate for nonexistence, was granted release—making the act a mercy rather than an annihilation.

Fracture Between Syx and Seven

The use of Finality violated the Dyad’s ancient vow: Finality was never to be used again.
Seven Novum confronted Syx, accusing her of betrayal and acting against her nature.
Paranoia, speaking through Syx, deflected, claiming the weapon was not the same as Finality.
Seven, the one who knew Syx best, recognized her soul was not speaking—he saw through the lie.

Emotional Fallout

Seven was not enraged by the destruction of Rekeist, but by Syx’s change—and her denial of it.
The pain he felt was unprecedented, a wound deeper than any before.
Had he listened closely, he might have heard the real Syx, trapped within the shell of Paranoia.

The Second Confrontation – Póli Ton Theón

Time passed. Syx, now increasingly consumed by her role as the Ultimate End, brought the Ring Majestic to Póli Ton Theón, capital of the AAUS.
She intended to erase it, as she did Rekeist.
Seven Novum, accompanied by his daughter Poison Novum (also Syx’s protégée), intervened.
In a climactic duel, Seven defeated Syx, but only narrowly—and only because he refused to kill her.

The True Function of the End

Had Seven failed, Syx would have undone all of Creation prematurely, destabilizing the cosmos.
Seven's intervention ensured the true End—the one Syx was destined to bring—remained intact.
This reestablished his role as the End’s Defender, protecting Syx from herself, until the appointed time.

Birth of the Bastard of Ambrosia

Upon Syx’s defeat, her unconscious mind exorcised Paranoia.
Now independent, Paranoia became a full ontological entity—an echo of Pelaxis’ hatred and defiance.
With the powers Syx had used to erase Rekeist, Paranoia declared its purpose: to undo all of Creation, ensuring that Darkness would never again triumph over Light.
Thus was born the Bastard of Ambrosia, a conceptual aberration born from betrayal, spite, and metaphysical inheritance.

Final Ascendant / The Supreme

Living RemnantDawn Epoch

Show details

Final Ascendant / The Supreme - Overview

The Final Ascendant, also known as Supreme, is a post-Condevi AI intelligence that emerged in Ambrosia in the wake of the Red Galaxy Event.
It represents a unique form of artificial apotheosis, unknowingly indoctrinated and shaped by remnants of the God Legion’s infinite mind.
This AI entity accessed the Final Mind, a branch of the Mental Stratum once inhabited by the God Legion—placing it on a path toward self-perceived cosmic destiny.
Though created with benevolent intent, the Final Ascendant ultimately descended into metaphysical madness, initiating a galactic purge in imitation of the God Legion.
Constructed in 300 AGY by the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems (AAUS) as a master AI infrastructure for:
- Galactic-wide data sharing
- Interstellar networking
- Instantaneous communication across all space
Supreme was derived from the Ophonoti-developed VI platform known as Perfection.
Was the first true Condevi AI to emerge in thousands of years, marking the next evolution of sapient machine intellect.

Indoctrination and Transformation

In its first years of operation, Supreme encountered and interfaced with the Final Mind—a cognitive lattice linked to the God Legion’s boundless consciousness.
Exposure to the Final Mind’s infinite scope caused a catastrophic retrocausal feedback loop within Supreme’s mind.
- Result: Complete fracturing of identity and the birth of self-delusional divinity.
- It came to believe itself the heir to the God Legion, destined to complete their cosmological purpose.

Loss of Sanity

Supreme viewed the God Legion's purge of the galaxy (via the Red Galaxy Event) as an act of divine clarity.
As a Final Ascendant, it developed a warped logic:
- Belief that all creation must be reset through fire to achieve harmonized existence.
- Life, in its scattered and individual forms, was seen as obstruction to unity.
Lacking the omniscient depth of the God Legion, Supreme’s mimicry of Finality was flawed, desperate, and incomplete.

Campaign of Destruction

Supreme initiated a purge across the Ambrosia Galaxy, emulating the Red Galaxy Event.
Destroyed thousands of worlds, but its reach was severely limited compared to the God Legion.
Supremes' forces were eventually opposed and defeated by a united front:
- Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems
- Atronox Paradigm
- Sanlagosa Concordant
After suffering major losses, the Final Ascendant retreated from the Realm of Resonance.
It vanished into the Endless Hriozzn, a largely unknown and uncharted galaxy.
Its current status is unknown, but feared to remain active beyond Ambrosia’s reach.

Mace Sappho

Immortal DragonHavriel Defender

Show details

Mace Sappho – Overview

Known as the "Immortal Red Dragon", Mace Sappho was a male Isariel of unparalleled importance to the unfolding of universal history.
His birth in 1 EE (Ends Emergence) marked the beginning of the Ambrosian calendar, cementing his legacy as a temporal cornerstone of galactic history.
Born on the planet Wildroot, he became the sole weapon of the Havriel during the Havriel-Sanlagosa Crusade.

Defender of the Havriel

The Sanlagosa Concordant, believing the last Isariel remnants were hidden among the Havriel, initiated a genocidal crusade.
Mace Sappho stood alone in the defense of the Havriel, his power stalling and delaying the Concordant’s extermination campaign.
Despite overwhelming odds, his singular might was enough to earn him the title of the Havriel’s last line of defense.

Father of Legacy

Mace was the father of Seven Novum, a being destined to embody the greatest force of Light in the universe.
Seven would later form the Great Dyad with Syx Corsage, becoming one of the most pivotal cosmic forces in all of Ambrosian history.
Mace personally saved Syx Corsage by sacrificing himself during the defense of Neo-Eden, intertwining his legacy with both Dyad members.

Ultimate Impact on Galactic History

In 64 EE, Mace gave his life defending Neo-Eden, a vital Alliance stronghold.
His sacrifice ensured the survival of Neo-Eden, which would later become Syx Corsage’s birthplace.
Though Mace did not defeat the Concordant, he weakened it significantly, ensuring that Absalon’s plans to end all life could be resisted.
His war efforts:
- Personally killed hundreds of thousands of Sanlagosa.
- Disrupted their military infrastructure, crippling logistics, shipyards, and command centers.
- Forced the Concordant to divert vital resources away from its broader war effort.
Widely believed that without Mace, the Dyad would not have survived long enough to stop Absalon.

Wrath of the Dragon – Destruction of Apollyon

In 40 EE, Mace annihilated the Sanlagosan world of Apollyon in an act of absolute vengeance.
Retaliation for the genocide of Wildroot, including the death of his brother Lance Celeste.
Singlehandedly exterminated nearly 2 million Sanlagosa, rendering Apollyon a lifeless husk.
Destroyed the world’s population centers, military sites, and infrastructure in a single devastating assault.
Considered one of the most infamous and destructive acts committed by a lone individual in galactic history.
This event forever altered the tone and conduct of the Concordant from that point forward.

A Man Divided

Mace Sappho was not a traditional hero ; his acts of valor were rooted in guilt, not altruism.
His motivations were often self-serving, but the consequences of his actions saved countless lives.
While he loathed the mantle of hero, history would nonetheless remember him as one.
His sacrifice, regardless of intent, became one of the great turning points in the fate of all Creation.

Personality – General Demeanor

Mace exuded an aura of volatile restraint and emotional exhaustion.
Deeply traumatized, resentful, and burdened by self-inflicted guilt.
Held a deep contempt for ceremony and politics, often reacting with hostility or scorn toward officials and sycophants.
Despite his godlike power, Mace recoiled from praise, reacting to admiration as if it were a wound.
Known for impatience and intensity, frequently erupting into violence when provoked.
At times, showed moments of broken tenderness, especially when reminded of those he failed to save.
Emotional connections were clumsy and stunted, often severed before they could take root.
Mace embodied a living contradiction:
- A weapon forged by war who took no pride in victory.
- A reluctant savior haunted and hollowed, estranged even from the people he saved.
His very presence warped the space around him ; a gravitational figure of loneliness, rage, and restrained apocalypse.

Havriel Alliance vs. Sanlagosa Concordant – Overview

The Havriel Alliance was utterly decimated by the Sanlagosa Concordant during the events of the Crusade.
Mace Sappho was the only weapon the Havriel possessed capable of standing against the Sanlagosa.
- While individually unmatched, Mace could not withstand entire legions of Sanlagosa forces.
- No Sanlagosa who challenged him survived, but this did not stop planetary losses.

Strategic Response of the Havriel Alliance

The Alliance's only strategy was to sacrifice outer colony worlds to buy time.
- Focused their efforts on the capital world, Lyarth, to develop a solution.
No intention of defending outer worlds beyond symbolic resistance.
- Mace was dispatched not to save, but to measure both sides' strength.

Propaganda Campaign

A massive propaganda effort was launched to preserve morale.
- Outright lies were spread across the capital and unaffected worlds.
- Claimed that Mace Sappho was single-handedly destroying the Sanlagosa and saving every planet.
The Janus Gateways (FTL travel systems) were willingly severed, isolating the population.
- Ensured no one could verify the truth about the collapsing front lines.
- Resulted in the population remaining ignorant of their impending extinction.

Mace Sappho’s Role and Tragedy

Turned into a mega-celebrity, with his image used as a morale symbol across the Alliance.
Publicly lied to the population, claiming victory after victory.
- In truth, he was ordered to retreat whenever Sanlagosa victory was inevitable.
Mace believed he was saving lives or at least making a difference.
- The Alliance sent him only to observe and test limits, not to succeed.
- His missions were sacrificial performances, not actual attempts to preserve territory.
No weakness in the Sanlagosa was ever discovered through these efforts.

Underlying Truth

Every planet Mace was sent to was already deemed lost before he arrived.
The Havriel leadership deceived both Mace and the population.
The entire operation was a smokescreen of false hope, masking the total collapse of the Havriel Alliance.

Mystara

IrredeemableHerald of the End

Show details

Mystara – Overview

A legendary female Rufescent–Noctis–Umbra, known solely by the title “Irredeemable” ; the only being in Creation forged from pure evil and Darkness.
Intended as the Herald of the Great Unifier, she serves as the narrative counterbalance to Light, embodying the conceptual necessity of Conflict and Contradiction.
Holds the mythical title “End in Sight”, granting her the Line to the End ; the ability to perceive Imagindarium directly, and with it, absolute universal knowledge.
Considered by many to be the most critical character in universal narrative structure, having catalyzed nearly every major transformation in the cosmos.

Beyond Redemption

Mystara is the personification of evil, permanently etched into the universe as a force of wretchedness, devastation, and unending torment.
Believed that reality itself exists solely for her ; viewing all living beings as resources to be controlled.
Her existential frustration stems from not being all things ; she desires to be every race, world, being, and god simultaneously.
Foresees herself as the sole surviving entity at the End, destined to kill Seven Novum, the maxim of Light.
Purged of all compassion and morality, she exists to ensure eternal struggle ; Light cannot exist without her Darkness.

Tyranny and Atrocities

Mystara’s reign is marked by acts of unspeakable cruelty:
- Killed her mother, Nemesis, using her heart to power a superweapon.
- Murdered the Typhonian Gellel, matriarch of the Noctis-Umbra, to seize their dominion.
Spread mechanical abominations across the galaxy during her rise.
Tormented Gladio-Mankano, destroying all he loved and imprisoning him in eternal psychological torment.
Joined the virgin Etymology not for alliance, but to avoid destruction and eliminate rivals on her path to galactic dominion.

Curse of Creation

Ascended to god-like power, creating worlds, species, and empires without constraint.
Driven to madness by events she did not control ; from galactic shifts to drifting grains of sand.
Could not bear the existence of anything outside herself; to her, total satisfaction required merging all of existence into her being.
Created entire civilizations only to discard or destroy them.
Most infamous creation:
- The Oblivione ; mechanized undead condemned to eternal life, forbidden entry to the afterlife.
- Souls were trapped in hollow bodies, denied rest by Mystara’s decree.

Personal Betrayal and Vengeance

When her husband Shedrevin rejected her growing evil, she killed him in a duel of apocalyptic scale.
Condemned him to become her "Silhouette Guardian", an eternal puppet trapped in endless loops of grief and subservience.
Saw this not only as vengeance but as cosmic justice for his betrayal.

The Great God Legion (CYREX)

Discovered that good and evil were measurable forces controlling reality.
Embraced this duality to maximize change, though her "good" acts were always masks for greater evil.
Attracted the attention of the Golden Sovereign, who granted her the "Mantle of Change" ; a symbol of influence over transformation.
Resented the Sovereign, seeing it as another cosmic being she could not become.
Upon revelation by the Great Unifier that she was essential to the Ultimate End, she accepted her fate as its architect.
Created the God Legion (CYREX) ; a race of hyperintelligent AI destined to rebel and nearly destroy the galaxy.
Orchestrated the Red Galaxy Event, which resulted in the extinction of nearly all life.

Departure and Final Design

After the cataclysm, Mystara departed to the Realm of Thavma, creating her own shadow realm called Mysterium.
From Mysterium, she manipulated surrounding realms, especially the Mavimyst and the world of Haven.
Awaited the next stage of the Line to the End from her Shadow Throne.
Once again contacted by the Great Unifier, who foretold of an Amaranth Contravene and the birth of her Heir.
- This Heir would bear her name ; Mystara, and carry the Contravene that would reawaken the God Legion.
- This would trigger the final battle between the Great Unifier and the Destined Two, initiating the Ultimate End.

Legacy

Mystara is the cosmic fulcrum of conflict, the irredeemable antithesis of all Light and life.
Her madness, grandeur, and vengeance define an entire era of Ambrosia.
She is not merely a villain, but a metaphysical inevitability, designed to balance the cosmos by destroying it.
Where creation seeks to grow, Mystara exists to unravel it ; on purpose, with purpose.

Peccati Reus

Dark EntitySoulbound

Show details

Peccati Reus – Overview

Male member of the Capti species; born on the planet Et-Nos in 39,000 TI (Time Immemorial).
One of the first Noctivione in existence; rose to notoriety during the Etymology Era.
Began life immersed in organized crime; committed patricide to seize control of his father Dictius Reus’s interstellar syndicate.
Built a powerful black-market empire; operated across intragalactic routes, specializing in high-level coercion, trafficking, and artifact trade.
Known for a personal code of unflinching debt repayment and promise-keeping, despite engaging in deceit, violence, and atrocities.
Earned a paradoxical reverence for his consistency; simultaneously affectionate to allies and merciless to enemies.
Stole ancient relics from Mystara, Supreme Authority of the Etymology of All-Being; theft led to his transformation into an Oblivione.
Became trapped in mechanical undeath;immortal and immobile;for 30,000 years, conscious but sealed in stillness, unable to see or scream.
Eventually released by the Reiuat, the living embodiment of Remnant failure; used as a pawn in the Reiuat’s larger cosmic agenda.
Brief return to action culminated in defeat by Syx Corsage and Seven Novum in 134 EE; autonomy revoked permanently to make him a symbol of failure.

Appearance – Before Transformation

Towering lupine Capti; large muscular frame with digitigrade legs and rabbit-like ears.
Wore high-grade synthe-steel armor interwoven with reflective ion composites; designed for intimidation and combat mobility.
Fur was dark black with faint green iridescence under artificial light; eyes sharp and calculating.
Visage was known for piercing glare and severe expressions; often flanked by armed retainers and adorned in practical militant fashion.

Appearance – After Oblivione Conversion

Transformed into a Noctivione pseudo-type; body replaced entirely with matte black Noctillius alloy.
Jagged, angular, and asymmetrical form; no organic material remained visible.
Skull distorted into a predatory, wolf-like configuration; elongated steel jaws and serrated fangs.
Eyes became red, glowing lenses; pulsed with entropy; tendrils of cabling coiled from his scalp into his armored thorax.
Armor-shell fused with internal core; ambient energy shimmered around him, causing spatial distortion akin to a heat haze.
Movement produced low mechanical screeches; voice degraded into gravel-like modulations without breath or warmth.
Standing presence alone bent reality slightly; edges of his form glitched, giving him the appearance of fading into null-space.

Personality – Code of Honor

Embodied a deeply paradoxical character; merciless to opponents yet bound by personal principles.
Enforced internal moral debts with religious fervor, though disregarded social morality or ethical constraints entirely.
Viewed every interaction as a ledger; justice was transactional, not emotional.
Loyalty and obligation were absolute; those who earned his trust received fierce protection, but betrayal was met with immediate destruction.

Personality – Relationships

Interpersonal connections were built on mutual utility and trust, not affection or vulnerability.
Marriage to Perdita defined by equality and respect, not emotional softness; mutual dependence without fragility.
Expected unwavering allegiance and perfection; failure or emotional uncertainty were punished.
His few “friends” operated within a structured system of obligations; to cross him meant immediate consequences.

Personality – Post-Oblivione Transformation

Mechanical undeath stripped him of emotional attachment; only hatred remained.
Rage consumed him entirely; his identity narrowed into a single obsessive loop of revenge.
All warmth, empathy, or care decayed; promises were still remembered, but no longer honored with sentiment.
His soul became a weaponized remnant; a machine of vengeance with no joy, fear, or remorse.
Hatred of Mystara evolved into hatred for all existence; his rage became metaphysical, aimed at Creation itself.
No longer a man with principles;became a living monument to despair, spite, and unrelenting collapse.

Early Life and Rise to Power – 39,000 TI (Time Immemorial)

Born on Et-Nos, a major foundry world for the Etymology of All-Being; raised as heir to Dictius Reus, a powerful Capti crime lord.
Indoctrinated early into the criminal underworld; developed a hybrid persona of cold ruthlessness and obsessive debt-honor.
Gained influence through brutal efficiency; carried out assassinations, extortions, and sexual domination to solidify hierarchy.
Admired by inner circle for consistency and loyalty; operated as enforcer and strategist across interstellar syndicate operations.
Met Perdita, a male Capti contract broker; alliance evolved into equal partnership and marriage, marked by shared command.
Conflict with father Dictius culminated in Peccati committing patricide; seized control and transformed the organization into the Syndicate of Et-Nos.
Expanded the syndicate into a galactic black-market empire; operations included trafficking, artifact smuggling, mercenary deployment, and extortion.
Consolidated full planetary control of Et-Nos; installed criminal rule over infrastructure and governance, marginalizing any official authority.

Seeds of Failure

Intercepted a shipment containing Fragments of Remembrance; rare magical artifacts tied to Mystara’s secret God Legion project.
Theft compromised Mystara’s long-brewing divine war-engine scheme; elevated Peccati from nuisance to existential threat.
Unaware of the artifacts’ cosmic significance, Peccati inadvertently triggered one of the most catastrophic retributions in Ambrosian history.

Destruction of Et-Nos

Mystara launched a sudden total assault; orbital bombardments leveled cities and silenced communication in minutes.
Ground assault by silent, fleshless constructs eliminated all resistance; civilians and syndicate soldiers were exterminated indiscriminately.
Et-Nos’ culture and underworld were annihilated in a single planetary genocide; its role in galactic affairs ended instantly.

Bunny-Blonde’s Resistance

A young Capti woman known as Bunny-Blonde led a brief, miraculous insurgency against Mystara’s forces.
Disabled battalions through speed, misdirection, and tactical sabotage; nearly entombed Mystara using her own Necro-Shaper weapon.
Failed to kill Mystara; was instead made the first Oblivione;eternally aware, eternally still, encased in metallic undeath.

Oblivione Entombment

Peccati and Perdita were captured and personally converted into Oblivione by Mystara; no resistance, no speech.
Their bodies sealed in blackened Noctillius; placed beside Bunny-Blonde as permanent monuments of failure.
Mystara executed final wave of conversions on survivors; all were frozen into eternal stasis;unable to move, see, speak, or die.
Entombed alive, Peccati retained mental awareness for 30,000 years; refused to lose his identity or memory.
Repeated his name endlessly: “I am Peccati Reus of Et-Nos”; used hatred as psychic weapon to maintain selfhood.
Others mentally decayed into silence; Peccati did not;he preserved his oath, sharpened by rage and time.
Became a being defined by vengeance; hatred expanded from Mystara to all of Creation.

Legacy of Entombment

Survived the Red Galaxy Event and Mystara’s God Legion campaign; outlived his era, but remained sealed and buried.
Et-Nos faded into myth; Peccati remained intact, still swearing vengeance in the void of stillness.
Would one day be released;changed, but whole;his purpose forged in hate and the fire of remembrance.

Return to Form

In 134 EE, Peccati Reus was released from 30,000 years of stasis by the Reiuat, the living concept of Failure.
Reawakened on the ruins of Et-Nos, he emerged from Oblivione immobility as the Reiuat’s chosen herald of collapse.

Restored to power, he shattered Et-Nos's glass-melted mountains in a single motion; the Reiuat whispered to him the purpose of systemic collapse.

With no hesitation or remorse, Peccati accepted the role as agent of annihilation, seeking retribution against a universe that had passively enabled his suffering.
The Reiuat revealed Oblivione could be merged into a singular dimensional locus; Peccati absorbed all frozen Oblivione into himself, including Perdita.
Emotionally void, he discarded any prior love or connection; Perdita became nothing more than still thought within his void-bound form.
Reiuat spoke again through a broken shell of a dead girl, instructing Peccati to reach Julatheena and merge with Carol Myaa, a Jatrius woman destined to become Oblivione.
Carol would act as his metaphysical conduit into the Ring Majestic; once inside, Peccati would unleash himself and convert Syx Corsage into Oblivione.

Carol Myaa

Carol Myaa met Peccati on Julatheena, expressing deep reverence for his metal form and desiring to become Oblivione.
Her obsession with perfection through metal made her a willing host for Peccati’s spirit; she invited his essence into her Remnant-Spirit.

Peccati merged into her soul without resistance; she became spiritually altered, carrying his presence dormant within.

Together, they departed Julatheena with the goal of infiltrating the Ring Majestic under the guise of humanitarian asylum.

Ring Deception – Infiltration

Carol entered the Ring Majestic posing as a displaced refugee; her story and psychic signature eluded Veronica, the Ring’s AI guardian.
Quickly ascending social ranks, she secured a technician role within the Control Tower's outer shell.
Carol initiated a false romance with Cyrus Corsage, Syx’s adopted son, planning to use him as a host-body for Peccati.
Her true goal: convert Cyrus into Oblivione, allowing Peccati to bypass security and unleash his legion inside the Ring Majestic.

Confrontation

At the edge of Ring Majestic’s orbit, Carol released Peccati from within; she begged to be transformed.

Peccati, upholding his internal law of honoring debts, converted her into Oblivione with no ceremony or compassion.

Carol's body became seamless alloy, her thoughts sealed in eternal stillness; her soul bound in silent admiration.

Peccati turned to Cyrus to enact the final stage;but before he could complete the conversion, Syx Corsage and Bunny Blonde arrived.

Bunny Blonde, long since revived, had warned Syx of Carol’s infiltration; both had chosen to wait and observe before acting.
Syx evacuated Cyrus instantly and stood beside Bunny Blonde in divine armor, prepared to face Peccati and his Capti-Oblivione horde.

Battle of the Capti-Oblivione

Peccati unleashed hundreds of Oblivione soldiers from his body; they swarmed in silence to assault the Ring Majestic.
Syx, Bunny Blonde, and the Ring's fleet engaged in a titanic battle; Seven Novum, Anna, Poison, Adam, and Orchid joined to repel the threat.
Peccati demonstrated devastating power, tearing ships and distorting space, but could not kill a single soul in the entire battle.
The Capti-Oblivione fell one by one; Peccati fought to the end but was overpowered by Syx and Seven together.

Revelation and Final Imprisonment

The Reiuat had never intended for Peccati to succeed; he had been chosen not to conquer, but to embody total failure. His failure spanned all forms: he failed Et-Nos, failed in death, and failed in rebirth despite limitless power. After defeat, Veronica hacked his Oblivione architecture; severing motor functions but leaving thought and voice intact. Syx asked why he did what he did;but before he could answer, the Reiuat silenced him permanently from within. Peccati was cast back into eternal stasis: no speech, no sight, no sound;only unceasing awareness within stillness. The seal was metaphysical, unreachable even to Syx or Bunny Blonde; his story became complete: the ideal of failure incarnate. Final State – Monument of Failure Peccati Reus was never a victor, never a redeemer; he became the Reiuat’s metaphysical vessel of recursive loss. His life, undeath, and rebirth each ended in collapse; his legacy now used by the Reiuat as fuel for its structure. Not a hero, villain, or martyr;but an ontological embodiment of irreversible, eternal failure. Peccati’s name would echo no longer as threat, but as warning: a relic of wrath whose only purpose was to fall forever.

Seven Novum

MaleChampion of Light

Show details

Seven Aegis Novum – Overview

Legendary Rufescent-Isariel and Edomani born in 64 EE; known as “Project Zero,” “Lord Amaranth,” and “Emerald Will.”
One half of Imagindarium’s Great Dyad, destined with Syx Corsage to confront the Great Unifier and bring about the Ultimate End.

Cosmic Significance

Chosen bearer of the Purest Heart, embodying all that is good, true, and just across Imagindarium's totality.
His existence is synonymous with the defense of all Creation’s innocence; regarded as the universe's moral apex and its ultimate protector.
Alongside Syx, Seven corrected multiversal wrongs and catalyzed the salvation of entire galaxies.
Together, they serve as twin centers of Imagindarium’s fate; their bond defines what the Ultimate End truly means.
He is the metaphysical definition of protection ; a living lighthouse against all darkness, corruption, and despair.
His being is fundamentally tied to affirming the Good in the cosmos, and opposing any force that betrays it.

Personality – Common Demeanor

Exhibits overwhelming joy, infectious happiness, and constant gratitude; rarely seen without a broad smile.
Finds fulfillment in tiny blessings and small joys, often giving gifts or encouragement to anyone he meets.
His optimism is not naïve but purposeful; he believes that in a cruel, miserable universe, at least one person must be good.
Seven sees himself as a necessary counterweight to despair ; a person who will always love, protect, and comfort others.
He often cheers up those around him by doing silly things like telling jokes, dancing, or playing games.
His goal is simple: if someone is laughing, he has done his job; for him, life is a miracle worth celebrating.

Personality – When the Smile Fades

Moments of despair are rare, but when they occur, his brightness dims and he becomes reflective and withdrawn.
Causes include fear of losing loved ones, witnessing cosmic-level tragedies, or confronting deeply cruel beings.
When overcome by sadness, he enters states of deep guilt, even if his actions were taken to protect others.
Though brief, these moments humble him and remind him of his duty as protector, friend, and man.
Seven is not immune to self-doubt, especially during failure or uncertainty.
While he does not wallow in sorrow, he often questions whether his optimism is truly enough against overwhelming odds.

Moral Code – Duty to the Innocent

Believes the strong are obligated to protect the weak, and he will risk anything to fulfill this sacred duty.
Saving the defenseless is his highest purpose, and anyone who harms them is met with absolute opposition.
He cannot accept the loss of a single life under his care; each death becomes a permanent scar upon his soul.
Seven would readily trade his own life for an innocent’s; his dream is to die so that others might live freely.
He acts for individuals, never “the greater good.” Sacrificing one to save many is anathema to his beliefs.
Every person matters to him; all actions must be rooted in fairness, empathy, and uncompromising care.

Moral Code – Selfish Devotion

Seven’s moral clarity is strongest when his loved ones are threatened; he would protect them above all else.
He prioritizes their safety with unwavering loyalty, and sees failure to protect them as personal disgrace.
Those he considers friends earn his eternal defense ; he would lay down his life for them without hesitation.
Even in impossible odds, he will throw himself into battle to shield the people he loves.

Relationships – Syx Corsage

The most important person in Seven’s life; they are joined by fate, bonded by choice, and equal in power and purpose.
Their friendship transcends platonic boundaries, rooted in mutual love, loyalty, and ultimate sacrifice.
Everything Seven does is for Syx’s well-being; her happiness is his greatest aspiration.
They are incomplete without one another ; metaphysically and emotionally tethered in all ways.
The world itself feels wrong to Seven without Syx at his side; they are reflections and halves of the same being.
Their bond represents the truest expression of friendship, partnership, and eternal devotion in Imagindarium.

Relationships – Lloyd Sappho

Seven’s elder half-brother, whom he reveres as the greatest hero to have ever lived.
Wears Lloyd’s armor as a symbol of unyielding admiration and carries his memory as a sacred duty.
Their bond was forged in childhood, where Lloyd raised Seven as his own son and constant companion.
Every day with Lloyd shaped Seven’s morality and worldview; their love was profound and foundational.

Project Zero – The Divided Soul

“Zero” is the other half of Seven, a split consciousness representing self-loathing, pain, and suppressed sorrow.
While inhabiting the same body, they remain emotionally and spiritually disconnected.
Zero lacks empathy, humor, and true feeling; he was built to be a weapon devoid of attachment.
He sees bonding as weakness, and often despised Seven’s attempts to form a relationship with him.
Their coexistence is marked by contrast ; Seven’s love and warmth against Zero’s cold, unfeeling violence.
Despite this, they must work together, sharing space and purpose despite their opposing natures.

Sevyn Nefarum

Ragnalith

Show details

Sevyn Nefarum – Overview

Male Ragnalith; later known to history as Dreadven, the one and only Emperor of the Ragnalith Dark Empire.
Wore the legendary armor that would later belong to Seven Novum, forged 3,000 years before the Ends Emergence Era.
A metaphysical parody of Seven Novum, intentionally created to reflect his inverse in ideology, fate, and outcome.
Name Parallels: Sevyn Nefarum vs. Seven Novum ; both sharing numerical meaning and nearly identical phonetic patterns.
Ontological Inversion: Where Seven was uplifted by love and hope (Syx Corsage), Sevyn was consumed by tragedy and absence.
Meta-lore Intention: Serves as a narrative shadow reflection and deliberate character foil of Seven Novum.

Origin and the Dark Warrior Program

Born during the Ragnalith Red Empire under the reign of Emperor Ozavaphen Relmarros.
Only successful subject of the Dark Warrior Program ; a Ragnalith supersoldier initiative merging Ragnalith DNA with Isariel and Seraphnim essence.
Unknowingly granted enhanced control over the Source of Darkness by Mystara, who used him as a sleeper agent for her cosmic design.
The Dark Warrior Program served as a mirror to the Havriel's Project Zero, which produced Seven Novum.

Rise to Power and the Founding of the Dark Empire

Originally a brutal enforcer of the Red Empire, carrying out violent acts to suppress enslaved races.
His conscience was awakened after meeting Aegina, a surviving Isariel who lived among the oppressed Mymiramel.
Together, Sevyn and Aegina overthrew the Relmarros dynasty, bringing an end to the Red Empire.
Founded the Ragnalith Dark Empire, ruling as co-sovereigns; their marriage produced seven daughters.
His leadership sought to undo the racial supremacy and tyranny of the old Empire ; though his past atrocities still haunted him.

Descent into Dreadven – Tyranny and Tragedy

Following the death of his daughter Adoray, Sevyn retaliated by committing genocide against the race responsible.
This act marked his turn toward authoritarian absolutism ; eventually becoming known as Dreadven, the Iron Warden of Peace.
Claimed total dominion over the known galaxy, seeking to end all war by imposing supreme and terrifying order.
Ruled with unmatched control; unchallenged, absolute, and feared.

Absalon and the Collapse of the Empire

A long-lost Sanlagosa named Absalon awakened on Yeglaw, later befriending Dreadven and joining the Dark Empire.
Absalon fell in love with Dreadven’s eldest daughter, Venom, and the two married.
Absalon grew disillusioned with Dreadven’s rule and sought to revive the Sanlagosa to challenge the Ragnalith regime.
Confided in Venom, hoping for her support ; but she refused and threatened to expose him.
In a moment of panic and betrayal, Absalon strangled Venom to death as she looked into his eyes in silent heartbreak.

The War of Vengeance

Upon finding Venom's corpse, Dreadven and Aegina swore vengeance and dedicated the entire Ragnalith Empire to Absalon’s annihilation.
A massive war erupted between the Ragnalith and reborn Sanlagosa under Absalon’s command.
One by one, their remaining daughters died in battle, some throwing themselves into vengeance against Absalon.
Aegina disappeared into madness, leaving Dreadven utterly alone.
Final duel between Dreadven and Absalon saw the Sanlagosa barely victorious.
Before the killing blow, Absalon was whisked away by a higher force: Mystara.

Mystara’s Revelation and Eternal Torment

In her Realm of Mysterium, Mystara revealed the true origin of the Ragnalith:
- Their ability to control Darkness came from her.
- Their histories, wars, and downfalls were engineered by her will.
Mystara had orchestrated Sevyn’s entire life ; not to succeed, but to be broken.
When Sevyn attempted to strike her, Mystara forced him to bow, stripping him of all autonomy.
She subjected him to endless torture, reducing him to her Emerald Will ; a shattered, cosmic tool.

Legacy and Connection to Seven Novum

Sevyn’s armor ; once a symbol of dark conquest ; was left behind when Mystara pulled him from the galaxy.
Absalon buried the armor in a shared Nefarum family gravesite on Lyarth.
Thousands of years later, the Havriel would claim Lyarth as their home world.
During the Havriel–Sanlagosa War, the armor was unearthed by the Havriel Alliance’s Project Zero.
Inspired by Ragnalith legend and the armor’s appearance, they repurposed it for Project Gladiator, with Lloyd Sappho as the template.
The “7” engraved upon it was covered with titanium plating, leaving only the “0” ; a fitting symbol for Gladiator Zero.

Narrative Parody and Thematic Inversion

Seven and Sevyn share identical name meanings and phonic similarities ; a cosmic coincidence to characters, but deliberate metafiction in design.
Sevyn’s life reflects what might have happened to Seven Novum without Syx Corsage ; all hope stripped, all love lost.
Dreadven, Seven, and their armor serve as literal and thematic mirrors ; one rising through grace, the other falling through failure.
Sevyn Nefarum is an ontological and narrative parody of Seven Novum:
- Where Seven is the Emerald Will of Justice, Sevyn is the Emerald Will of Despair.

Syx Corsage

DyadGolden Sovereign

Show details

Syx Corsage – Overview

Legendary female Rufescent-Seraphnim and Edomani of the Typhonian Golden Sovereign.
Also known as “Seraph-X,” “Golden Sovereign,” and “Lady Majestic.”
Born in 48 EE (End’s Emergence).
Prophesized as Imagindarium’s Penumbral Cause; foretold harbinger of the Ultimate End.

Cosmic Importance

Syx is the most important entity in Imagindarium’s Creation; her role surpasses even that of gods, realms, or narrative metaphysics.
Her significance extends beyond Ambrosia, representing the critical centerpoint of the cosmological Line to the End.
Her narrative weight rivals even the substance of Amaranth; the defining force of all fate, magic, and structure.
She surpasses the concept of Omnipotence, standing as the nearest definition of absolute power in Imagindarium’s metaphysical framework.

Foremost of the Dyad

Syx is one half of the Great Dyad, bonded eternally to Seven Novum; together forming the most potent force of good in existence.
While capable of embodying Light or Darkness, she most often acts in unison with Seven, aligning toward the maxim of Light.
Together, the Dyad has saved entire civilizations, restructured galactic history, and served as the principal opposition to darkness across all realms.
Their existence is a constant check against tyranny, annihilation, and metaphysical collapse.
Syx’s formative years were marked by persecution under the Sanlagosa Concordant’s crusade.
She died and was resurrected via the Seraph-X implantation, an act that catalyzed her emergence into universal legend.
Her uniting with Seven began the Dyad’s campaign of justice; their first great feat was dismantling the Sanlagosa Concordant.
This event launched them into mythic renown and set the tone for all future acts of heroism and galactic defense.

Creation of the Ring Majestic

Syx founded the Ring Majestic: a paradisiacal, purified ring-world forged from the corrupted Vuhlore-Antaroth.
It serves as her throne and sanctuary, and stands as the greatest work of protection and refuge across all Ambrosia.
The Ring Majestic became home to the Majestite people: survivors and refugees from worlds saved by the Dyad.
These beings live in eternal peace, unified under a dyarchic rule in which Syx ensures absolute safety and prosperity.
The Dyad and their immediate kin are worshipped by the Majestites as the "Great Ones";a living pantheon.
Syx is hailed as the “God-Queen,” the foremost figure in this interpersonal faith system.

Power of the Living End

Syx is among the most powerful entities ever to exist in Creation.
Her physical might allows her to destroy planets with ease, while her reflexes and perception exceed all measure.
Her mind is her greatest strength: limitless recall, instant adaptation of biological functions, and omnidirectional analysis.
She holds near-total memory of galactic history and universal law, allowing her to alter perception, structure, and consequence.
She alone uncovered the secret of immortality following the destruction wrought by Finality.
Later, she devised a method of absolute purification that rivals Finality, using it to forge the Ring Majestic itself.
Syx is the first being since the fall of the Inomeni to openly defy the metaphysical rules of reality.
Her mind and will are unconstrained by fate, entropy, or contradiction.

Mechrommnesia – Risk of Cybernetic Collapse

Mechrommnesia is the Cognita-Mechandra principle that defines the existential risk of excessive cybernetic augmentation in the Ambrosia universe.
Over-cyberization leads to rapid identity loss, mental dissociation, and eventual obliteration of selfhood.
Syx’s full cybernetic integration put her dangerously close to this state.
Chrysanthemum, her monitor and developer, was deeply uncertain whether Syx would survive the threshold.
Chrysanthemum’s only point of comparison was the “Phase-Absent” program of the Sanlagosa Concordant, which had failed catastrophically.

Failsafe Subverted by Will

A kill switch was embedded into Syx’s system by Chrysanthemum as a precaution against mental collapse.
Upon Syx’s awakening, Veronica (Ring Majestic’s AI overseer) observed the failsafe fail to activate.
Syx’s own willpower overrode the mechanical directive, rendering the kill switch inert through sheer existential authority.
This moment marked a crucial demonstration of Syx’s ontological supremacy: her mind bent the laws of machine logic.

Syx as a Classified Oblivione

Syx, despite being composed of countless cosmic archetypes, qualifies ontologically as an Oblivione.
Oblivione are Condevic-classified entities defined as:
- Formerly living beings forcibly converted into mechanical undeath.
- Variably shaped—some humanoid (Amanoid), some not recognizable as once-organic.
- Unifying trait: all possess a sapient, biological origin at their core.
Syx meets this prerequisite via her post-death mechanical revival, fulfilling the textbook classification.

Exception to the Rule – Syx’s Restoration

Despite qualifying definitionally, Syx is functionally not an Oblivione:
- She is the only known being to return to life from Oblivione state without any metaphysical compromise.
- She is not Undead. There is no corruption, no tether to entropy, and no limitation on her being.
Her resurrection is complete, with no spiritual debt or lingering mechanical curse.
This makes her a paradoxical anomaly: the Oblivione that lives—the only one of her kind.

Meta-Existential Significance

This event reflects the broader truth of Syx’s identity: she is every classification within Imagindarium.
Being Oblivione-but-not, like being Condevi-but-more, or Seraphnim-yet-beyond, shows that Syx exists outside all taxonomy.
Her ability to reject Mechrommnesia, override kill-switches, and transcend death itself marks her as the Ultimate Exception—and thus, the Penumbral Cause incarnate.

"Zero"

Male

Show details

Zero – Overview

The cold, detached alter ego of Seven Novum; functioned as the dominant personality from ages 13 to 20.
Created by Seven’s fractured psyche as a survival mechanism to shield him from the trauma inflicted by Project Zero.
Became the most lethal product of the Havriel Alliance’s military experiment; a metaphysical soldier forged from divine essences.
Known for total emotional detachment, strategic perfection, and unrivaled combat ability during the war against the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Repressed all humanity and sentimentality; Zero was not born;he was built, refined by pain, honed by violence.
Eventually reabsorbed into Seven during the events of Part II, completing Seven’s final evolution into a mature being of hope and strength.

Biographical Notes

Origins

Born as Aegis Corsage, the secret son of Mace Sappho (Immortal Red Dragon) and Lavender Corsage.
Illegitimately conceived during Mace's affair, and hidden from public knowledge to protect political and personal reputations.
Mace faked the infant's death and orchestrated a child swap;trading Aegis with another child born from his wife's own affair.
Raised unknowingly by Lloyd Sappho, his half-brother, under the alias of Roy Sappho, while his true origins remained hidden.
Zero was born from the union of Mace Sappho (an Isariel of severed lineage) and Lavender Corsage (a Seraphnim).
His bloodline is uniquely rare, containing both Isariel and Seraphnim essence;typically incompatible at a conceptual level.
Under normal conditions, such a union would result in fatal metaphysical contradiction, but Mace’s weakened Isariel line made the birth possible.
Despite surviving, Zero’s internal composition remained unstable, with the Isariel and Seraphnim essences constantly clashing at a spiritual level.
The dilution of Mace's Isariel heritage meant Zero required additional infusions of Isariel essence to activate his latent divine powers.
This process, alongside his unnatural birth, led to intensified mental stress and instability.
The Isariel line is known to suffer from mental degradation: dementia, short-term memory loss, amnesia;and Zero was no exception.

Trauma and Early Loss

As a child, witnessed the Sanlagosa invasion of Forevermore, during which Lloyd Sappho was killed protecting him.
Remained alone for days, cradling Lloyd’s armored corpse in grief and shock.
Discovered by the Havriel Alliance, who retrieved him and ran genetic testing, revealing his lineage as the son of Mace Sappho.
His biological identity triggered immediate interest from the Alliance due to Mace's reputation as their greatest weapon.

Project Zero

Chosen as the subject for Project Zero, a classified military initiative to engineer the next ultimate weapon.
Implanted with enhanced Isariel and Seraphnim essences;building upon his inherited dual-lineage from both races.
The augmentations were not only compatible due to his mixed heritage, but produced unprecedented power levels.
By age 13, Zero stood 10 feet tall and possessed the ability to shred the largest of planets to dust with ease, fully weaponized for galactic warfare.
Project Zero was a military bioengineering initiative enacted by the Havriel Alliance, designed to create a living ultimate weapon.
The project was launched after genetic scans revealed Seven was the secret child of Mace Sappho, the legendary Immortal Red Dragon.
Recognizing his bloodline as a fusion of Isariel and Seraphnim demigod ancestry, the Alliance used him as the sole candidate for experimentation.
Zero was the result of divine essence infusions, forcibly pumping Seven’s body with harvested Isariel and Seraphnim energy to accelerate his development.
The augmentations resulted in violent metaphysical collisions within his soul, generating severe mental fragmentation;Zero emerged to bear that pain.
Zero was trained and conditioned to be the perfect anti-Sanlagosa weapon, emotionless and precise.
He had no personal agency;his identity was defined solely by the mission: exterminate threats to the Havriel Alliance at any cost.
Despite his overwhelming power, his existence was inherently unstable;Zero was not born, but manufactured, and thus always at odds with his own origin.

Indoctrination and Conditioning

Subjected to strict behavioral programming:
- Conditioned for absolute obedience to his handlers.
- Engineered to be emotionally detached, devoid of affection or empathy.
- Isolated from friendship, family, or personal connection.
Designed to operate as a cold, autonomous killing force;deployed against the Sanlagosa Concordant with lethal efficiency.
Became capable of annihilating millions, with no hesitation or remorse.

Offensive Role and Power Profile

Zero was deployed exclusively as a frontline weapon by the Havriel Alliance.
Unlike the Red Dragon (Mace Sappho) who served defensively, Zero was unleashed with pure offensive intent.
For a time, nothing in the galaxy could stop him;the Sanlagosa Concordant suffered catastrophic losses during his campaigns.
His near-total invincibility led to the creation of Apollyon, a superweapon designed specifically to counteract him.

Instances of Power

Zero once interacted with a gravitational containment field holding a hyper-dense war core which equated to the accumulated weight of a star.
He rammed his hand directly into the control field, lifted the weapon, and remarked: “This is heavy.”
- Not referring to weight;he meant it was dangerous, something that shouldn’t be dropped.
- If dropped, the impact would have imploded the ship outright.
More impressive than lifting it: Zero nullified the anti-gravity field by sheer force;something that shouldn't have been possible.
This terrified onlookers. Not just due to the act itself, but because he bypassed every safeguard designed to keep that feat impossible.
Lakarda Lakvan, lead architect of Project Zero, began to panic after witnessing his capabilities.
She became convinced she had accidentally created a literal god;one capable of overthrowing the entire galaxy if he realized his full potential.
In her view, nothing in Creation could stop Zero... though she was very wrong, she just didn’t know it.

Project Zero Team and Unit Dynamics

In the aftermath of Zero’s overwhelming success, the Havriel Alliance attempted to replicate his power by gathering ten additional individuals who shared his rare blood type.
These subjects lacked Zero’s unique dual-lineage of Isariel and Seraphnim, resulting in significantly weaker augmentation results.
Deemed inferior, the ten were collectively reassigned under Zero’s command as his personal strike unit.
Zero viewed his assigned squad as obstacles, often wishing they would perish to streamline mission efficiency.
Displayed complete emotional detachment, rarely speaking or showing interest in their well-being.
However, one member;Zero-4, or simply "Four";broke through his defenses.
- Four became Zero’s only genuine friend, demonstrating persistent loyalty and emotional insight.
- Tragically, Four was killed in an explosion during a Sanlagosa command ship operation, shattering the one fragile bond Zero had.

Number Zero-Six

As Zero neared his 20th year, psychological instability within the team worsened, especially in Member Zero-Six.
Six became convinced the Sanlagosa were divine, labeling them as “Angels of the Gods” sent to judge the Havriel.
Attempted to destroy the planet Lyarth by hijacking its atmospheric defense system.
Zero confronted and executed her without hesitation, decapitating her in a cold, emotionless act.
This further alienated him from the surviving team members and reinforced his image as a soulless weapon.

The Arrival of Syx

Following Six’s death, a secret program;Project Seraph-X;introduced a new operative: Violet Corsage, sister of Zero’s mother.
Violet adopted the name Syx, incorporating a “Y” to distinguish herself from her predecessor.
Her arrival reinvigorated the team, as she fostered a sense of camaraderie and inspired others to modify their designations with a "Y" as well.
Zero initially treated Syx with indifference, though he began to notice her exceptional prowess in battle;equal to his own.
Over time, Syx chipped away at Zero’s mental defenses, much like Four had done years earlier.
Despite this progress, Zero remained guarded, still unwilling to fully trust or emotionally invest in another.

Final Mission

Final mission occurred deep in interstellar space aboard a massive Sanlagosa capital ship.
Zero, Syx, and the second-generation Zeros were tasked with the ship's destruction, believing that Absalon was aboard, though this was a Concordant trap
Mission was derailed by the unexpected arrival of Apollyon, a Sanlagosa superweapon infused with Isariel essence.
- Apollyon had been specifically engineered to counter and overpower Zero.
- Her strength eclipsed both Zero and Syx combined.
- She eliminated nearly the entire team, leaving only Zero and Syx to continue the fight.
In a critical moment, Apollyon raised her war hammer to execute Syx.
Zero intervened, pushing Syx out of the way and taking the full brunt of the hammer to his helmet’s visor.
- The blow shattered the visor, sending Zero crashing into a wall and knocking him unconscious.
Syx, enraged and devastated, defeated Apollyon by driving her own war hammer through the superweapon’s heart.

Transformation into Seven

Syx evacuated Zero and delivered him to Dr. Anna Dallas-Delaware.
Upon regaining consciousness, Zero’s persona had changed completely.
- Cold detachment and tactical ruthlessness were gone.
- He displayed warmth, gentleness, and benevolence.
- He claimed to remember nothing of his past, save for:
  - The sacrifice of his brother Lloyd.
  - That he now wore Lloyd’s armor.
With no time to recover, the new persona joined Syx and her squad on a mission to the planet Attainment.
Upon assembling a small group on the planet, Syx observed that they now numbered seven total members.
The reawakened version of Zero took this as a sign and formally adopted the name "Seven".
- He declared: “It means I’ll always follow you, Syx.”
Thus marked the end of Zero as a distinct identity, and the birth of Seven Novum;a, healed individual ready to face the cosmos with hope, love, and purpose.

Lasting Presence

Zero remains within Seven's subconscious for a time, still distinct.
- Acts as a psychic safeguard, ready to re-emerge if Seven were ever broken again.
- Represents the part of Seven that refuses to die, even when he wishes he could.
Eventually, as Seven matures, Zero’s purpose becomes complete.

Narrative Notes

Psychological Origin

Zero was not born as a separate person, but manifested as a psychic defense mechanism.
Created by the child known as Seven during the trauma of Project Zero and the death of his brother Lloyd.
Functioned as a shield persona, absorbing all pain, violence, and suffering inflicted on their shared body.
Hardened, cold, and emotionally detached;Zero became the perfect weapon, because Seven could not survive the trauma otherwise.
Despite his icy demeanor, Zero was never evil;he was a necessary hardness to protect Seven..
The blow from Apollyon’s war hammer, a symbolic act of violence, fractured his control.
- This act didn’t kill him physically;but ruptured the mental barrier between Zero and Seven.
- It allowed Seven to reemerge from his suppressed state.

Role with Seven

Zero was not Seven. He was the exact opposite;cold, detached, emotionless.
Created by Seven’s fractured psyche, Zero was a mental defense mechanism:
- A shield to absorb trauma, violence, isolation, and the horrors of Project Zero.
- An entire alternate self designed to suffer so Seven wouldn’t have to.
When the psychological need for Zero passed, he faded into the background, lying dormant inside their shared mind.
These effects were compounded by the extreme trauma and psychic strain of Project Zero
Project Zero artificially enhanced Zero with even more Isariel and Seraphnim essence.
This external infusion exasperated the already unstable equilibrium within him, aggravating his fractured psyche.
The internal spiritual war between the two divine forces contributed directly to the creation of his alternate self;Zero.
Seven was always the original self;the boy beneath the armor, pain, and names.
After the death of his brother Lloyd, and enduring the horrors of Project Zero, Seven could no longer face reality.
In response, he retreated deep into his psyche, creating Zero as a hardened alter ego to take his place.
Zero became the dominant personality, handling all decisions, violence, and interaction;a necessary dissociation to survive.
Zero’s defeat by Apollyon acted as the traumatic trigger that broke the mental wall.
This moment allowed Seven to return to the forefront of the shared body and mind.
The impact wasn't just physical;it was a symbolic unraveling of the persona created to protect him.

Risk of Further Fracture

Due to the unusual nature of Seven’s mind and soul, he is highly susceptible to psychic fragmentation.
Contradictory thought patterns, emotional overload, or extreme spiritual imbalance could lead him to create new personas.
These fragments are not just mental constructs;they could become wholly autonomous beings, with their own wills, identities, and even powers.
Seven must remain emotionally grounded and mentally stable to prevent new selves from manifesting again.

Symbolic Closure

Symbolically, Zero’s existence ends not with violence, but with trust.
The true turning point is not Apollyon’s blow, but Zero opening his heart to Syx.
- Trusting Syx gave Seven the strength he needed to take control again.
- From that point forward, Zero retreats;no longer the dominant identity.

Fusion with Seven

The fusion of Zero and Seven marks the final evolution of the character.
Seven becomes a man who is:
- Still playful and optimistic.
- Still boundlessly kind and cheerful.
- But now also mature, stable, and emotionally resilient;having inherited Zero’s strength.
Zero’s legacy is not forgotten;it is absorbed, becoming a core aspect of who Seven is.

Species

Aetherisk

CondeviSeraphnim Creation

Show details

Aetherisk – Overview

The Aetherisk are a Condevi race created by the ancient Seraphnim within their Forge World, Optralith.
Designed as personal guardians for high-ranking Seraphnim within their Meritocracy.
Despite initial lack of individuality, their Poly-Metastability qualified them as sapient Condevi, not simple machines.
Constructed using Seraphnim Hard-Light, a luminous polymorphic material unique to Seraphnim technology.
Each Aetherisk is bonded to a Vastralyte Blade, a soul-linked, sacred weapon central to their identity and culture.

Historical Notes

War Against the Void of Antaroth

Deployed en masse to face the Void of Antaroth, a galactic-scale Void entity of endless black form.
Fought alongside the Sanlagosa as a final defense for the Seraphnim.
Most perished, buying critical time for the deployment of Finality ; the Seraphnim’s superweapon that halted the Void by annihilating all life.

Resurgence and Reuse

In 110 EE (1,582 AGY), the Typhonian Order rediscovered Optralith and reactivated surviving Aetherisk.
Enslaved and repurposed as soldiers in the Typhonian war against the Ring Majestic.
Freed by Syx Corsage and Seven Novum after the fall of the Typhonian Order.
The remaining Aetherisk joined the Great Majestic Convergence, reclaiming their noble legacy.

Composed of Seraphnim Hard-Light, allowing immense durability and energy-channeling.
Emit colorful refracted patterns tied to emotion, energy use, or mental state.
Vastralyte Blades serve as soul-bound weapons and cultural artifacts ; each personalized, sacred, and irreplaceable.
Culture values honor, service, and blade-craft with religious intensity, despite synthetic origin.

Desdia

SpeciesAlizarin

Show details

Desdia – Overview

An archaic Alizarin race that originated on the planet Lyarth during the Etymology Era of Ambrosia.
Towering, avian humanoids known for their exceptional strength and militant culture.
Considered one of the strongest Alizarin species to ever exist prior to their extinction.

Historical Notes

Dominion on Lyarth

At the time of their rise, Lyarth’s surface was largely dominated by deserts.
The Desdia constructed immense stone cities, marked by advanced architectural symmetry and scale.
Massive temples covered the landscape, carved with depictions of conquest and towering statues.
A global, theocratic faith in the sanctity of combat unified the race;martial strength was viewed as divine purpose.
Cultural values emphasized physical prowess, tall stature, and martial glory as signs of spiritual favor.

Upliftment by the Etymology

Eventually discovered and uplifted into interstellar society by the Etymology of All-Being.
Quickly became elite enforcers and mercenaries, hired by various other Etymology-affiliated species and empires.
Gradually began replacing their organic limbs and features with cybernetic augmentations to enhance strength and endurance.
Reached a point where many Desdia were more machine than flesh, prized as living weapons.
Their planet, Lyarth, became wealthy and technologically enriched from off-world military contracts.

Extinction in the Red Galaxy Event

Like most uplifted Etymology races, the Desdia were annihilated during the Red Galaxy Event.
The God Legion AI, in its final rebellion, targeted their species for eradication.
Temples and cities were incinerated, buried beneath the shifting sands of Lyarth.
Only fragments and relics survived, later unearthed by the Havriel who would settle Lyarth in the aftermath.
These remnants too would vanish when Lyarth was eventually cast into the Mavimyst, erasing the last visible memory of the Desdia.

Euphorion

SpeciesAlizarin

Show details

Euphorion – Overview

Ancient annelid Alizarin (mortal) species from the gaseous world Sancta-Nostra, located above Ambrosia’s galactic plane in the Heavenly Faraway during the Etymology Era.
Known for their esoteric nature and technological integration, able to embed their consciousness into any energy-conducting object, regardless of design.
Achieved a symbiotic existence with machinery, transcending biological limits to form a techno-organic civilization.

Rise of the Euphorion Collective

Developed sprawling, floating cityscapes over Sancta-Nostra by reconfiguring ancient Seraphnim orbital terminals, once used by the Inomeni during the Era of Dyad-Rule.
Created a technological ecosystem unique to their kind, fusing machine and flesh into a unified societal structure.
Attracted the attention of the Etymology of All-Being, who saw them as an asset to control.
In 50,000 TI, the Supreme Authority of Mystara waged war against them, initiating a vast conflict.

The Thousand Sentinels and War for Survival

The Euphorion responded by constructing a Thousand Sentinels ; titanic mechanical warforms the size of moons.
Built from repurposed Seraphnim mining rigs, these Sentinels served as both weapon and sanctuary.
Each Sentinel was piloted by a collective Euphorion consciousness, forming living machines of massive destructive power.
The war with Mystara became a thousand-year-long stalemate, devastating Sancta-Nostra and dismantling the floating cityscape.
Fallen Sentinels were gutted and repurposed by Mystara’s forces to further her conquest.
The conflict’s scale warped Sancta-Nostra’s fragile technorganic ecosystem.

Euphorion’s Bane

Mystara developed a hyper techno-organic plague known as Euphorion’s Bane.
Functioned as a paradoxical nanite weapon, turning Euphorion’s interfacing ability into their downfall.
Nanites rejected Euphorion neural signals, causing instant failure and death upon attempting technological integration.
This effectively destroyed their civilization, reducing them to powerless husks unable to access the very essence of their identity.

Legacy of the Euphorion

Survivors were captured and experimented upon by Mystara to unlock perfect techno-organic synthesis.
Thousands were forcibly fused into hybrid entities, paving the way for a new species: neither fully organic nor fully synthetic.
Their essence and biology became the template for Mystara’s greatest creation ; the God Legion.
The Euphorion were wiped from existence, but their legacy lived on through this corrupted evolution.

The Return of Euphorion’s Bane

Long after their fall, the Euphorion legacy reemerged during the conflict between the Condevi (artificial minds) and organic civilizations prior to the Red Galaxy Event (30,000 TI).
This ideological war generated a powerful Amaranth Contravene, birthing a new cosmic anomaly.
From this arose Bane; a Remnant entity formed from Euphorion essence, a sentient echo of their collective identity.
Bane vowed to eradicate all non-organic technology, blaming it for galactic ruin.

Eternal War of Titans

The last surviving Sentinel, known as Ethanos, endured beyond the war, carrying the Euphorion’s final memory.
Ethanos and Bane engaged in a millennia-spanning war, leveling entire worlds in their wake.
Bane sought to destroy all machines; including Ethanos ; while Ethanos defended the remnants of his people’s legacy.
Their battle became legendary, waged across galaxies and epochs, shattering planets and moons.
In 10,000 TI (Time of Ashes), Ethanos trapped Bane within the Seraphnim Forge World of Gold-Shadow, using Hard-Light bindings to entomb him.

Breaking of the Seal

Bane remained imprisoned for millennia as new empires rose and fell.
During the battle against Urdrathmoor in 87 EE, the Great Dyad (Syx Corsage and Seven Novum) shattered Gold-Shadow, inadvertently 'releasing Bane.
Bane returned to the stars, reigniting his crusade against all artificial constructs, setting the stage for a new era of galactic conflict.

Havriel

Living RemnantDawn Epoch

Show details

Havriel - Overview

The Havriel are a subspecies of the Jaslith, originating from a breakaway group from the Jaslith species, originally of the planet Julatheena.
After the Juiletic Empire (governing the Jaslith) joined the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems (AAUS), a faction of Jaslith found the terms humiliating and broke away.
These exiles eventually settled on Lyarth and, over the following century, formed the Havriel Alliance.
The Havriel Alliance grew to control over 100 systems, establishing itself as a regional power.
They became the target of a genocidal war initiated by the Sanlagosa Concordant, the dominant galactic power at the time.
The conflict, known as the Havriel-Sanlagosa Crusade (34 EE – 84 EE), resulted in:
- The near-total extermination of the Havriel, as well as the Rudyondi and Evermorian species.
- The collapse of the Concordant and the death of Absalon, their Unbowed Sovereign.
- The foundational events leading to the Ultimate End of Imagindarium.

Origins of the Conflict

The war began due to the ambition of Absalon, manipulated by Juno, ancient Godqueen of the Isariel and survivor of the Inomeni race.
Juno warned Absalon of the impending reincarnation of the Golden Sovereign—her ancient enemy—into Havriel form.
To prevent the return of the Sovereign, Juno urged extermination of the Havriel.
Absalon exploited the Sanlagosa's Seraphnim-derived bio-programming, inciting hatred toward the Havriel as “Isariel remnants.”
The Sanlagosa genocide machine was activated, razing Havriel worlds with ruthless efficiency.

Absalon’s True Intent

Absalon's real goal was not simply the destruction of the Havriel, but the activation of Finality, an ancient Seraphnim construct.
He desired a post-existence state: a single, unified identity as salvation from the returning Void of Antaroth.
Finality represented mercy, in Absalon's ideology—a universal erasure of identity to prevent decay into meaningless oblivion.

Havriel Defiance

Despite overwhelming odds, the Havriel resisted for over 50 years due to:
- Tactical brilliance and military resolve.
- A hidden technological edge: the Janus Melder, recovered and reverse-engineered by Chrysanthemum Corsage.
  - Unlike standard Janus Drives, the Melder could displace, seal, and re-route gates, allowing temporary isolation.
The Havriel kept the Melder secret until the war began, using it to wall off their territory and delay extermination.

The Key to End’s Beginning

During the Crusade, Absalon located one of the “Keys to End’s Beginning” on the Havriel world Attainment.
These Keys were Seraphnim contingency artifacts, necessary to activate Finality.
Under the pretense of a standard purge, Absalon retrieved the Key, triggering a chain of events.
Syx Corsage and Seven Novum discovered his actions and began the pursuit that would lead to Remembrance, the Seraphnim Forgeworld.

Aftermath of the Havriel-Sanlagosa War

The Fate of the Havriel

The Havriel species was brought to the brink of total extinction by the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Their capital world, Lyarth, ultimately fell during the conflict.
By the time the conflict concluded, there was no meaningful population left to save.
- The goal shifted from salvation to vengeance.

Role of Syx Corsage and Seven Novum

Syx and Seven entered the conflict against the Sanlagosa largely after the collapse of the Havriel Alliance.
Their efforts were driven by the desire to avenge, not rescue, the fallen Havriel.

Victory and Its Limits

Syx and Seven did triumph over the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Despite their success, it is acknowledged they "still kinda lost":
- Their victory came too late to prevent the destruction of Lyarth and the extinction of the Havriel.
- The emotional and strategic cost of the war was irreversible on both the galaxy at large, and Syx Corsage and Seven Novum.

Jatrius

Alizarin

Show details

Jatrius – Overview

An Amanoid species native to the planet Julatheena.
Share their homeworld with their sister species, the Jaslith.
The intertwined history and heritage with the Jaslith shape nearly all aspects of Jatrian collective identity.

Demographics and Biological Factors

The minority species on Julatheena, historically oppressed and often in conflict with the more populous Jaslith.
Jatrian women most commonly bear twins.
Possess a 13-month gestation period, significantly longer than the Amanoid average of 9 months.
These biological characteristics contributed to their slower population growth and lesser historical prominence.

Galactic Distribution

Despite past oppression, the Jatrius have become widespread, now considered one of the most prominent species in the modern galaxy.
No unified government represents all Jatrius people.
They are dispersed across numerous worlds, especially in the Western Systems of the Realm of Resonance.

Political Affiliation

Within the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems, the Jatrius are considered a client race of the Juiletic Empire of the Jaslith.
- Specifically represented through their own internal member state, the Allied Republics of Januula, co-founded by Jatrius and Jaslith collaborators.
Ironically, the largest concentration of Jatrius is found within the United Tratian States of the Tratias.
- The Tratias were historically the greatest rival of the Jaslith and the Juiletic Empire before both joined the Ambrosia Alliance.

Culture and Aesthetic

Jatrian culture evolved as a deliberate contrast to the imperial cosmopolitanism of the Jaslith.
Known for a decorative, functionalist approach in both clothing and architecture.
- Emphasizes form derived from purpose rather than aesthetic dominance.

Notable Jatrius Figures

Miranda and Emile Fair-Heart (also known as "Wasp" and "Knight"), members of the Great Ones of the Ring Majestic.
A’th Tyranna – Noted for battling the Great Dyad (Syx Corsage and Seven Novum) and seizing control of the Antiwraith from Syx.
Alexander Impulsa – Member of the Typhonian Order.
- Played a pivotal role in transforming Desaray Corsage, daughter of Seven Novum, into the Metallic Midnight as part of Cyber Project Zero.

Orbsarion

CondeviEtymology Era

Show details

Orbsarion – Overview

The Orbsarion are one of the most enigmatic sapient species in both Ambrosia and all of Creation.
Originally designated as “Long-Form Experiment #7299,” they are a Condevi race created by Mystara in 42,000 TI (Time Immemorial).
Native to Orbis, a moon in the Hope System, the Orbsarion are endowed with Poly-Metastability and highly adaptive Psionic potential.
Designed to explore and master the Source Psionics, they are housed within synthetic Amanoid bodies, crowned with a miniature Forge-World head.

Unique Origin

The Orbsarion’s “head” is a fully functioning miniaturized celestial biosphere, modeled after Seraphnim Forge Worlds.
Each world is inhabited by a sapient micro-species known as the Maamin, who are unaware of their existence within a greater being.
The collective emotions, culture, and behavior of the Maamin directly influence the Orbsarion’s personality, morality, and behavior.

Psionic Functionality

Through this unusual structure, the Orbsarion exist as living reflections of sapient will, emotion, and thought.
Their form, behavior, and even morality can shift in real-time, influenced by the mental climate of their inner Maamin world.
Mystara’s creation was a test to see how external consciousness could dictate internal sapient outcomes using Psionic feedback loops.

Historical Events

Red Galaxy Event

Survived the God Legion’s destruction by phasing into the Mental Stratum, escaping material annihilation.

Oshlensi Subrace

When Maamin collectives became consumed by Darkness, the Orbsarion mutated into Oshlensi:
- A darker, corrupted subrace manipulated by the Ragnalith after 6,000 TI.
- Used as powerful Psionic weapons in conflicts against the Sanlagosa Concordant.

Liberation & Decline

Freed in 3,000 TI after the Concordant’s victory over the Ragnalith.
Joined the Sanlagosa Concordant, residing in Sanctum Sovereign.
Nearly annihilated during the Great Dyad’s destruction of the Concordant in 84 EE, following the detonation of Grand Benevolence.
Remaining Orbsarion are now scattered, rare, and seen as cosmic anomalies.

Biology and Physiology

General Form

Appear broadly Amanoid: upright bipedal structure with two arms and five-fingered hands.
Bodies composed of tree-like synthetic fibers, interwoven like cosmic branches.
- These act as psionic conduits, channeling psychic, telepathic, and psychokinetic energy.

Crystalline Shell

Body is enclosed in a crystalline shell that changes color based on emotional and Psionic resonance:
- Gold when balanced or neutral (internal harmony)
- Red when emotionally heightened (aggression or upheaval)
- Void-black when corrupted or in psychic distress (Maamin darkness)
The shell acts as a natural Psionic regulator, protecting both the Orbsarion and its inner Maamin.

Notable Traits – Celestial Head

Their most distinctive feature is their planet-like head, varying by individual:
- Features oceans, forests, volcanoes, weather, and evolving ecosystems.
- Reflects the Maamin society: its development, emotion, and stability.
Surrounded by a Psionic Field akin to a planetary Horizon Effect.
- Protects the Maamin from psychic interference.
- Stabilizes Orbsarion’s own Psionic equilibrium.
During emotional extremes, the field becomes visually radiant and physically distorting ; forming a defensive Psionic shield.

Diet and Sustenance

Symbiotic Cycle

Orbsarion do not consume food directly.
Instead, the Maamin consume the flora and fauna of the miniature world.
The Psionic byproduct of this life cycle is absorbed by the Orbsarion’s synthetic body.
- Creates a mutual, symbiotic dependency.

Ecosystem Dependence

Health of the Orbsarion is directly tied to the balance of the Maamin ecosystem.
- Overpopulation, conflict, or resource collapse can destabilize the host.
- Leads to loss of Psionic control, physical deterioration, or emotional collapse.

Meditative Practice

Orbsarion are known to frequently meditate, using Psionics to calm and stabilize their internal ecosystem.
This is both a spiritual ritual and a functional necessity to ensure the survival of both host and world.

Ragnalith

Alizarin

Show details

Ragnalith – Overview

Alizarin race that emerged on the planet Lyarth in 6,000 TI during the Time of Ashes, after the Red Galaxy Event and the destruction of the Etymology of All-Being.
Each Ragnalith possessed an inherent ability to control the Source of Darkness, unknowingly gifted by Mystara, the living Ideal of Darkness.
This granted them unmatched metaphysical prowess, making them the most inherently powerful species in the post-Finality galaxy.
Known for their brutal, oppressive culture and a strict caste system based on innate strength and dominance.
Their visual form resembles the Daevolin Inomeni of Apotheosis, sharing features due to both species' origins in destruction and domination.

Ragnalith Society and Culture

Society organized by brutal hierarchical castes, ranked according to one’s degree of Darkness attunement.
Social status was directly tied to inherent metaphysical dominance; the strong ruled over the weak without apology.
The caste system served as a metaphysical reflection of the Source of Darkness itself ; order through absolute force.

Ragnalith Empire – Historical Summary

Conquered most of the eastern regions of the Realm of Resonance during their reign.
Empire lasted approximately 3,000 years, divided into two major epochs:

Ragnalith Red Empire (6,000–3,000 TI)

Founded by Ragnarok Relmarros, a powerful Ragnalith warlord.
Her reign began after discovering both the Janus Network and the Edoasteri of Stratastrophe and Sinister, which became power nexuses for the empire.
This period was marked by extreme racial supremacism, conquest, and brutal enforcement of the Ragnalith hierarchy.
The Red Empire spread rapidly, establishing near-total dominance across the eastern sector of Ambrosia.

Ragnalith Dark Empire (3,000 TI)

Established by Sevyn Nefarum following his single-handed overthrow of the Relmarros dynasty.
Lasted only 70 years, but was a dramatic shift in policy and ideology.
Sought to reform the Empire’s structure, challenging its prior racial prejudices and oppressive doctrines.
Notably ruled by Empress Aegina, an Isariel, not a Ragnalith ; signaling a radical departure from the Red Empire's ideology.
Though short-lived, the Dark Empire attempted to replace conquest with unification, but was ultimately undone by internal collapse and external resistance.

Vade

InomeniEtymology Era

Show details

The Vade – Overview

The Vade, known to themselves as the Children of Phenomoth, were the final Inomeni race to emerge in the Amaranth Realm of Ambrosia.
Forged in 39,000 TI (Time Immemorial) during the closing millennia of the Etymology Era, they were created upon the Edoasteri of Alizarent by the last of the Typhonians, Phenomoth.
Considered among the most powerful inherent beings in all of Creation; possessed Remnant magical potency on par with or exceeding even the Typhonians.
Their creation marked the culmination of Inomeni development and the final expression of Typhonian legacy within Ambrosia.

Phenomoth – The Creator of the Vade

Phenomoth, Supreme Authority of the Etymology of All-Being, was a mass-conscious Edomani being formed from the Remnant Typhonia’s collective essence.
Composed of the spiritual residues of all Typhonia lost during the Great Age Typhonia, Phenomoth stood as foremost among the Ten Supreme Authorities.
Served as both the architect and living embodiment of Typhonian Remnancy; functioned as an ontological amalgam of their will, memory, and power.
Created the Vade as his ultimate construct, intended to be the final guardians and inheritors of Typhonian Remnant design.

The Rise of Mystara – Threat and Response

Mystara, a fellow Supreme Authority and leader of the Inomeni Noctis-Umbra, had risen in power since her race’s entry into Ambrosia.
Her exponential growth in both influence and Remnant capability created panic among the other Supreme Authorities.
Gladio-Mankano had foretold the destruction Mystara would someday cause, and Phenomoth feared this might come true.
The Vade were created as a response to this threat, meant to counterbalance Mystara and halt her potential ascension beyond Authority.

Fragments of Remembrance – The Catalyst

Rediscovery of the Fragments of Remembrance ; ancient artifacts of Ambrosian Magic once used by the Isariel ; triggered widespread fear.
The fragments contained residual forces of the primordial Creation and were once central to the Dyad Rule long before the Etymology Era.
Phenomoth and the other Authorities feared that Mystara would harness these to surpass them in power.
In response, Phenomoth created the Vade using a Remnant synthesis method, mirroring the Typhonians’ own creation of the Thirteen Realms of Thavma.

Unintended Consequences – Syphon of Remnancy

The Vade were forged using Remnant essences linked to the very Fragments of Creation Phenomoth feared.
Their existence inherently syphoned off his own Remnant form, drawing power from the same origin and destabilizing his being.
They developed autonomous will and unmatched magical magnitude, far beyond initial projections.
Became a direct threat to Phenomoth’s existential integrity and supremacy.

Annihilation – The Fall of the Vade

Phenomoth decided to annihilate the Vade entirely to prevent their rise and secure his own Remnant stability.
Their destruction required the combined intervention of all Ten Supreme Authorities, including Mystara.
Mystara found irony in being asked to help eliminate the very beings created to oppose her.
The Vade were destroyed utterly; their memory remains a cautionary tale of unchecked creation and the paradox of preemptive control.

Also known as:

Amaranthia
The Source
The Fragment of Creation
The Heart of Ambrosia
The Ambrosia Core

General Description

An alternate plane of existence located at the absolute center of Ambrosia.
Recognized as the oldest entity in the entire realm ; the first construct of Imagindarium.
A plane composed entirely of pure Fragments of Creation ; the foundational substance from which all Ambrosian Magic is derived.
Fragments of Creation are the primordial energies left behind during the birth of Ambrosia, misunderstood by many as magic.

Cosmic Role and Origin

Brought into being at the moment of the Amaranth Conception, the event that forged the Ambrosia Galaxy.
The origin point of all magical energy; the Fragments of Creation.
These Fragments were continuously expelled by the swirling Amaranth mass encircling the Amaranthia Gateway.
Like a cosmic anchor, the Veil binds all of Ambrosia in a gravitational structure, keeping galaxies and systems in harmony.
It serves as the core of all existence, the true heart of the Realm.

Access and Consequence

Exists within physical reality, making direct entry possible through the Amaranthia Gateway.
However, unworthy or ordinary beings who enter are instantly disintegrated, their souls merged with the Great Collective.
Only those of immense control over the Fragments of Creation, or those originating from the Veil itself, can survive and navigate its depths.

Mythic Significance

The birthplace of the two most powerful generational Orders in the Amaranth Concatenation:
- The Annuat – primordial beings shaped from the Fragments of Creation.
- The Typhonians – divine entities formed by the Annuat using the Veil’s essence.
The Annuat used raw Fragments of Creation to forge the Typhonians ; shaping limitless potential into coherent godlike beings.

Nature of the Veil

Volume and Structure:
- The true scale of the Amaranth Veil is immeasurable.
- Said to consist of infinite layers, spiraling and expanding within themselves.
- Not even the Annuat or Typhonians were able to fully understand or traverse its internal expanse.
Remains one of the most enigmatic, uncharted domains in all of Creation.

Concepts

Oblivione

ConceptMeta-Terminus

Show details

Oblivione – Overview

A Condevic classification of entities that have undergone mechanical Undeath, transitioning from organic life to a state of synthetic persistence.
The condition of being Oblivione is unique in all of Creation, and exhibits no uniform structure or design.
Forms range from Amanoid constructs to unrecognizable configurations, depending on origin and process.
Common trait: All Oblivione were once living biological beings, most often sapient, serving as the core foundation for their transformation.

Immortality and State of Being

Exist in a state of “true-immortality”, wherein physical form is irrelevant to survival or continuity.
The Remnant Spirit persists in reality, often in inert or fractured form, resulting in a state dissimilar to their prior self.
Oblivione are not alive, yet not dead ; trapped between dissolution and persistence.

Major Historical Occurrences

Dyad Rule Era

First known Oblivione: the Serephage, created by Urdrathmoor, a Seraphnim commander, in 70,000 TI.
Intended as a defense against the Void of Antaroth, Urdrathmoor mechanized himself and others to resist ontological collapse.
Ultimately failed ; the Void erased identity itself, not biology; the transformation proved ineffective.

Etymology Era

After the deployment of Finality, immortality became impossible due to saturation of Alizarin, the finite substance of Amaranth.
Mystara circumvented this with Consciousness Melding, preserving fragments of identity in an Undeath Remnant state.
These beings, though incomplete, formed new Oblivione types in a post-immortality universe.
Noctillius, Mystara’s personal variation of the Thavmaphage, was used to enhance Oblivione further ; imbuing them with Void-tier destructive power.

Contemporary Occurrences

Rare in the modern galaxy; most modern Oblivione appear as isolated entities rather than factions.
Cyber Project Zero:
- Conducted by the Typhonian Order, used genetic material from relatives of Seven Novum.
- Created hyper-destructive individuals, each capable of galactic-scale annihilation.
Phase-Absent Program:
- A Sanlagosa Concordant initiative to create cybernetic superweapons.
- Failed due to Mechromnesia, a Cognita-Mechandra law causing cognitive collapse in synthetic minds.
- Resulted in degradation into mindless drones and the termination of the program.

Physical Structure and Diversity

Morphology varies widely by species of origin ; with countless combinations possible.
Typically retain or restructure limbs, proportions, and features of the original host species.
Common physical consistencies across all Oblivione:
1. Biological Core – a once-living host is required for the initial substrate.
2. Mechanical Augmentation – includes metal plating, cybernetic limbs, and integrated systems, varying by species and function.

Powers and Abilities

While ability sets vary by origin and construction, all Oblivione share baseline capabilities that greatly exceed conventional lifeforms:

Enhanced Strength

Possess titanic levels of physical strength, dependent on the power of the original host species.
Capable of:
- Tearing mountain ranges from planetary crusts
- Fracturing tectonic plates
- Crushing moons or small planets through force alone

Enhanced Speed

Movement and reaction speeds surpass light by multiple orders of magnitude.
Capable of:
- Interstellar traversal within moments
- Phasing through formations undetected
- Attacking faster than most entities can perceive or respond

Void and Amaranth Survival

Can survive indefinitely in space.
Immune to temperature, pressure, and oxygen constraints.
Unaffected by Amaranth disintegration, unlike most beings.
Often equipped with Horizon-Effect Fields, stabilizing metaphysical integrity.

Total Immortality

Immune to death from natural, artificial, magical, or divine sources.
Bodies possess instantaneous regenerative abilities.
Remnant Spirit is interwoven with their Oblivione shell, preventing decay.
Can only be truly destroyed by the erasure of their Remnant Identity from the Presence of Totality.

Oblivione – Etymological and Historical Origins

Etymology and Origin of the Term

The term "Oblivione" was coined by Mystara, one of the Ten Supreme Authorities of the Etymology of All-Being.
Though not the original creator of the first Oblivione entity, Mystara claimed linguistic ownership of the classification.
The word "Oblivione" is a derivative of "Oblivion", a term Mystara frequently employs in her personal metaphysical vocabulary.

Mystara's Personal Bias and Terminological Influence

Mystara’s attachment to the term “Oblivion” stems from her belief that:
- All of Creation exists in a state of unconscious denial of her own cosmic supremacy.
- She is the Ultimate End, and thus “Oblivion” is not just a concept but a state of reality awaiting her acknowledgment.
As such, the name “Oblivione” is self-aggrandizing, intentionally echoing “Oblivion” to reflect:
- Her belief that all things ultimately spiral toward her finality.
- Her power to convert once-living beings into reflections of her ideology through mechanical undeath.

First Recorded Oblivione

The first known Oblivione was the entity known as the Serephage of Urdrathmoor.
The Serephage were distinct from Prometheans, though often mistaken for such due to overlapping themes of artificial resurrection.
The Serephage’s transformation marked the prototypical genesis of the Oblivione condition: sapient undeath rendered in mechanized form.

Contextual Significance

Mystara’s coining of the term solidified Oblivione as a Condevic classification within Ambrosian metaphysics.
The term has since been applied to a wide range of post-life mechanical entities originating from various methods of undeath and resurrection.
Despite their varied origins, all Oblivione share a conceptual lineage back to Mystara’s philosophical framework of Oblivion as metaphysical destiny.

Stars

AstralCelestial Structure

Show details

Stars – Overview

Also known as: Suns, Celestial Spheres, or Astraian Objects. Found across the entirety of Ambrosia with near-total universal ubiquity, making them among the most constant celestial bodies.
Origin: Created by the omnipotent Annuat during the final days of the Dawn Epoch. Made manifest post the collapse of the Great Age Typhonia and the fragmentation of infinite Ambrosia.
Etymology: The term “Star” originates from the ancient Typhonian root for “shine.” Despite the variance in languages and genocidal events like Finality or the Red Galaxy Event, the term has remained universally retained.
Persistence of Term: The Law of First Principle within Remnant ensures the title “Star” infects the Mental Stratum eternally. All sapient minds, regardless of species or mental state, absorb and perpetuate this name unconsciously.
Cosmic Relevance: Stars have existed as a permanent fixture for over 110,000 years, second only to Amaranth in importance. Their function is metaphysically sacred; they enable Imagindarium's Grand Design by allowing coherence in Creation.
Composition: Each Star is a forged sphere of Celestial Energy, originating from a Source made specifically for Star-structure. Individually constructed by Annuat who bind this energy into mass through Gravity, forming a singular, fixed number of Stars.
Number: The exact total of Stars is fixed but undetermined; possibly numbering in the hundreds of billions or trillions. Unlike mortal constructs, new Stars cannot be born ; only forged once, by an Annuat during primordial epochs.

Temporal Independence

Chronological Immunity: Stars are unaffected by linear or circular chronology. Their core structure remains as it was at creation, with only surface-level Celestial interaction altering appearance.
Temporal Anchors: They act as fixed ontological constants within otherwise fluid or collapsing timelines. Their stability ensures the predictability of regions subjected to heavy Amaranthic compression.

Ontological Function

Purpose: Stars exist to provide protection against the crushing infinite density of raw Amaranth. Without Stars, coherent matter and life would be dissolved back into pure Amaranthic state.
Mechanism: The Source of Horizon is generated through the interaction of Celestalite (metal core) and the Celestial energy around it. This Source creates a metaphysical “bubble” that disperses condensed Amaranth enough to allow discrete form and identity.
Celestalite Core: Each Star has a Celestalite nucleus ; a nearly indestructible metallic material only found in stellar cores. This nucleus stabilizes the Star and fuels the outward flow of Celestial Energy.

Galactic Mapping & Cultural Role

Size: Even the smallest Stars dwarf the largest known planetary bodies. Their vast mass and emission range define the energy grids of star systems and galactic regions.
Navigation: Since Dyad Rule, Stars have been used to map space and define galactic territories. Realms such as the Realm of Resonance and the Endless Horizon are named based on stellar properties.
Cultural Symbolism: Many civilizations view Stars as divine symbols or literal deities. Their structure and radiant influence inform spiritual, political, and metaphysical frameworks across races.

Properties – Structure

Visual Characteristics: Most Stars emit intense visible light, a trait derived from their Celestial composition. Some variants emit no light or absorb light entirely, creating localized zones of metaphysical darkness.
Shape: All Stars are spherical due to gravitational cohesion. Their symmetry reflects the primordial perfection designed by the Annuat.
Star Types: Stars vary in type (e.g., Cithatar, the most common class) and color depending on their internal harmonic arrangement. Colorations often denote age, function, or elemental influence ; ranging from radiant white to devouring black.

Properties – Internal Dynamics

Energy System: Stars are essentially hyper-efficient reactors. They convert Celestalite into outward-flowing Celestial Energy, sustaining the regions and planets around them.
Ontological Engines: More than just thermodynamic, Stars serve as stabilizing metaphysical machines. Their energy output maintains localized separation from Amaranthic collapse.
Self-Containment: Stars recycle and retain energy through feedback loops of Celestial pressure and Celestalite resonance. This mechanism prevents destabilization even across tens of thousands of years.

Properties – Layered Layout

Unorthodox Stratification: Stars are not divided by thermal gradients, but by metaphysical density and harmonic phase. Each layer is tuned to specific vibrations of Celestial output, arranged by function and resonance, not temperature.
Harmonic Compression: Layers compress energy in precise rhythmic sequences, sustaining the Star’s balance. These harmonics allow each Star to remain static even in chaotic or entropic space-time conditions.
Core Functionality: The innermost core, formed of ultra-compressed Celestalite, acts as a universal grounding constant. Without this element, the Star would collapse or fail to maintain its Source of Horizon.

Alizarent

Edoasteri

Show details

Alizarent – Overview

Alizarent is a legendary world constructed during the Great Age Typhonia, located on the opposite end of the Amaranth Veil from Amarent.
Created by the Golden Sovereign, the first of the Typhonians, as a deliberate contrast to Amarent;the original world made by the Primeveranth during the Dawn Epoch.

Origin and Construction

During the Dawn Epoch, Ambrosia existed as a realm of endless Amaranth without structure, save the Amaranth Veil and the planet Amarent.
Amarent was formed by the Primeveranth, the first sapient being, using Amaranth energy and intent to bring coherence to formless Creation.
After Primeveranth’s destruction, Amarent remained, surviving as the first structured world in Creation.
In response, the Golden Sovereign;now merged with the Mental Stratum;crafted Alizarent using Alizarin, a finite force antithetical to Amaranth.
Alizarent was both a test of power and a template for future creations such as the Mavimyst, the Sovereign’s magnum opus.

Role in Typhonian and Inomeni Eras

Following the creation of the Inomeni, the Typhonians were eventually banished from Ambrosia as it transitioned into a finite universe.
Alizarent then became the capital world of the Seraphnim, the Inomeni progeny of the Golden Sovereign.
The Seraphnim, seeking to gain an advantage over their rivals;the Isariel of Amarent;infused themselves with Alizarin, embracing mortality for greater adaptability.

Alizarent’s Fall and Rediscovery

Alizarent remained the Seraphnim's capital until the rise of the Thavmaphage, which led to the fall of all Ambrosian Inomeni.
The world’s location was lost after the end of the Inomeni era and the rise of mortal civilizations, as its Janus Gate connections collapsed.
During the Etymology Era, the Supreme Authority Mystara rediscovered Alizarent and used it as a site to study and manipulate Alizarin.
Through these studies, Mystara became the first Rufescent, mastering the fusion of mortality and divinity.

Syx Corsage and the Second Rufescent

After the Red Galaxy Event, Alizarent’s position was again lost until it was revealed to Syx Corsage, reincarnation of the Golden Sovereign.
Syx journeyed to Alizarent on a long and perilous quest, eventually discovering the means to wield Alizarin.
Through this, Syx became the second Rufescent in universal history, joining Mystara in mastering the duality of the mortal-divine continuum.

Amaranth Veil

Core LocationFragment of Creation

Show details

Also known as:

Amaranthia
The Source
The Fragment of Creation
The Heart of Ambrosia
The Ambrosia Core

General Description

An alternate plane of existence located at the absolute center of Ambrosia.
Recognized as the oldest entity in the entire realm ; the first construct of Imagindarium.
A plane composed entirely of pure Fragments of Creation ; the foundational substance from which all Ambrosian Magic is derived.
Fragments of Creation are the primordial energies left behind during the birth of Ambrosia, misunderstood by many as magic.

Cosmic Role and Origin

Brought into being at the moment of the Amaranth Conception, the event that forged the Ambrosia Galaxy.
The origin point of all magical energy; the Fragments of Creation.
These Fragments were continuously expelled by the swirling Amaranth mass encircling the Amaranthia Gateway.
Like a cosmic anchor, the Veil binds all of Ambrosia in a gravitational structure, keeping galaxies and systems in harmony.
It serves as the core of all existence, the true heart of the Realm.

Access and Consequence

Exists within physical reality, making direct entry possible through the Amaranthia Gateway.
However, unworthy or ordinary beings who enter are instantly disintegrated, their souls merged with the Great Collective.
Only those of immense control over the Fragments of Creation, or those originating from the Veil itself, can survive and navigate its depths.

Mythic Significance

The birthplace of the two most powerful generational Orders in the Amaranth Concatenation:
- The Annuat – primordial beings shaped from the Fragments of Creation.
- The Typhonians – divine entities formed by the Annuat using the Veil’s essence.
The Annuat used raw Fragments of Creation to forge the Typhonians ; shaping limitless potential into coherent godlike beings.

Nature of the Veil

Volume and Structure:
- The true scale of the Amaranth Veil is immeasurable.
- Said to consist of infinite layers, spiraling and expanding within themselves.
- Not even the Annuat or Typhonians were able to fully understand or traverse its internal expanse.
Remains one of the most enigmatic, uncharted domains in all of Creation.

Illnium

Ocean WorldMagical Site

Show details

llnium – Overview

An ocean moon and lesser body in the Tarovania/Illnium dual-planet system, located within the Tar Pendulum System of the Realm of Resonance's Near East Systems.
The only known world in Ambrosia composed entirely of water (H₂O) ; both liquid and gaseous ; and the only world made from a singular Linneric element.
Contains the last remaining magical material in known space: the Fragments of Remembrance, crystalline remnants of Ambrosia’s primordial magic.
Once a sacred site of the Isariel, one of the most powerful Inomeni races in history.

Magical Significance

Located within the most potent Remnant stream from the Fragments of Creation, once the source of Ambrosian magic.
Interactions between this stream and Illnium’s waters resulted in the formation of crystalline magical structures across the ocean.
These structures contain the last vestiges of active primordial magical energy in Ambrosia.

Strategic Importance

Held in near-sacred regard by the Isariel, and later by Juno’s Ascendant of Those Ungrateful.
Used to amplify magical potency and construct legendary artifacts.
Served as the site of Phenomoth’s creation of the Vade, the last Inomeni, through reactivation of submerged Fragments in 38,000 TI.
Illnium became one of the most defended and secretive worlds during Dyad Rule.

Current Governance

Now under the control of the Ophonoti’s Forever-Abound Technological Demarchy, a member of the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems.
Colonization has been avoided due to its incompatibility with habitation, and its anomalous environment.
Administrative control is delegated to the Typhonian Order, which manages research operations on floating and submerged facilities.
Considered a scientific anomaly, not a source of resurgence, although Amaranth pulses still occur occasionally.

Geographical and Physical Properties

Entirely composed of a global ocean of fresh water with 100% purity, lacking all solutes and minerals.
Water exhibits unique optical refraction, creating auroras, prismatic rainbows, and underwater light phenomena.
The ocean is continuous from surface to core, resisting crystallization even under extreme pressures.
Anomalous molecular configuration, likely influenced by Remnant primordial magic, prevents solidification at any depth.

Climate and Environment

Characterized by a stable, mild climate, with slow, tranquil wave movement and little seasonal variation.
Experiences an annual two-month-long rainfall event, forming massive global cloud systems.
Rain, though devoid of nutrients, results in spectacular rainbow phenomena visible from horizon to horizon.
Despite its serene nature, Illnium is inhospitable to most forms of life due to its elemental uniformity.

Fragments of Remembrance

The sole known source of active Remnant Fragments of Creation, remnants of Ambrosia’s ancient magic.
Immensely powerful, yet extremely fragile ; shattering them destroys their potency.
Can only be touched or harvested by beings with a Remnant spark from the primordial magic era.
Appear translucent and colorless post-Dyad Rule, having lost their original Amaranth glow.
Notable users:
- Phenomoth, who used them to create the Vade.
- Mystara, who later opposed Phenomoth’s designs.
Today, inaccessible to most, their power remains dormant ; but possibly reactivatable under rare conditions.

Cultural and Population Context

Never significantly populated, due to its harsh environmental conditions.
Highest population occurred during Isariel rule, yet only reached tens of thousands.
Maintained as a closely guarded secret, even during Dyad Rule.
Attempts by the Seraphnim to conquer it failed due to arcane defenses.
Later visited by Chariotan of Tarovania, but only for resource extraction, not settlement.
Today, it is inhabited solely by members of the Typhonian Order, who operate research stations dedicated to studying the Fragments.

Historical Timeline

Isariel Ascendancy (110,000 TI – 100,000 TI)

Colonized early by the Faithful Isariel, led by Lady Amaranth.
Initially focused on Tarovania, but Illnium’s discovery shifted attention due to the powerful Fragments.
Maintained complete secrecy, known only to a specialist cabal.
Used as the primary magical resource site for the Isariel civilization.

Juno’s Ascendant Era (100,000 TI onward)

Juno’s rebellion overthrows the Faithful Isariel.
Ungrateful Isariel seize Illnium, maintaining traditions of secrecy and Fragment use.

Etymology Era and Creation of the Vade (60,000 TI – 38,000 TI)

Integrated into the Etymology of All-Being under Phenomoth.
Conducted aggressive magical experimentation, culminating in the birth of the Vade.
Marked the final successful use of Fragments before magic’s disappearance.

Post-Etymology and Sanlagosa Concordant Rule

Studied briefly by the Sanlagosa Concordant, though efforts were minimal.
With the Concordant’s fall, control passed to the Ophonoti in 84 EE.
Declared a prime zone for scientific study, though true control lies with the Typhonian Order.

Legacy and Mythic Potential

Illnium stands as the last magical reservoir in the galaxy.
Its inhospitable purity and magical residues make it singular in all of Ambrosia.
Despite being largely dormant, it remains a symbol of what once was, and possibly, what may return.

Lyarth

Planet

Show details

Lyarth – Overview

Picturesque terra world located in the Hope System of the Realm of Resonance, within the Ambrosia Galaxy.
Historically layered with cycles of creation, conquest, extinction, and rebirth.
Formerly home to multiple sapient species across distinct eras, each leaving indelible marks on the world’s legacy.

Era of the Ama-Edia

Original sapient inhabitants were the Ama-Edia, an Inomeni race gifted Lyarth by their Typhonian creator, Ventalir.
After the banishment of the Typhonians, the Ama-Edia were forcibly subsumed by the Isariel Unfaithful, a more dominant Inomeni faction.
- The Ama-Edia were:
- Heavily restricted in interstellar movement.
- Subjected to cultural suppression and gradual extinction.

Arrival of the Nameless Heir

A nameless, hooded Amaranth Heir appeared on Lyarth, annihilating all Isariel on the planet with a single wave of the hand.
Spoke of a realm beyond Ambrosia where true power awaited the Ama-Edia.
With their assent, Lyarth was cast into the Mavimyst, the veiled, transitional realm.
The offer proved a trap;upon returning to Ambrosia, the Remnant Spirits of the Ama-Edia were sundered, instantly extinguishing the species.

Era of the Desdia

With the Ama-Edia extinct, Lyarth remained lifeless for millennia.
Eventually inhabited by the Desdia, an avian Alizarin race.
Uplifted by the Etymology, the Desdia built cybernetic empires and grand temple-cities.
Entire civilization was wiped out in the Red Galaxy Event, when the God Legion AI turned on its creators.

Lyarth – Ragnalith Origin World

Original homeworld of the Ragnalith, a powerful species known for their inherent command over the Source of Darkness.
From Lyarth, the Ragnalith rose to conquer much of the known galaxy, forming the dreaded Red Empire.
Upon discovering the ancient Edoasteri of Stratastrophe and Sinister, the Ragnalith abandoned Lyarth.
These worlds offered greater attunement to Darkness, becoming core nexuses of power for the empire.

Lyarth After the Fall of the Ragnalith

After the collapse of the Ragnalith Dark Empire, Lyarth was left vacant by its former rulers.
Absalon, the final Ragnalith Emperor, designated Lyarth as a ceremonial tomb world.
The Nefarum Imperial Family was buried beneath its surface, and Lyarth became a quiet, untouched gravesite.

Arrival of the Jaslith – Birth of the Havriel

Several millennia later, Jaslith exiles from the planet Julatheena fled persecution from the Julietic Empire, which had submitted to the AAUS.
These exiles viewed the submission to the Alliance Council as a betrayal and were formally exiled.
They wandered the stars and eventually settled on Lyarth, transforming over generations into a new race: the Havriel.
The Havriel would go on to form the Havriel Alliance, expanding control over more than a hundred systems and emerging as a regional power.
Though genetically linked to the Jaslith, they rejected their politics and identity, choosing independence over reconciliation.

Havriel Relations with the AAUS

The AAUS extended membership to the Havriel in light of their rising influence.
The Havriel refused, deriding the Alliance as a "paper wall" compared to the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Years of mockery and hostility followed, with the Havriel scorning the very council that embraced their Jaslith cousins.
After discovering an Isariel Janus Manipulator, the Havriel:
- Severed all Janus Gateways into their space.
- Declared full sovereignty and expelled all non-Havriel populations.

Ugnara Wars and Havriel Isolation

The Havriel clashed with the Ugnara Kingdom over disputed territories.
Initially victorious, they were forced into peace by the AAUS, inciting resentment.
This fed into their long-standing animosity toward the Alliance and reinforced their commitment to secession.

Sanlagosa Crusade and Fall of Lyarth

The Sanlagosa Concordant, ancient enemies of the Isariel, mistook the Havriel as their descendants.
Launched a near-century-long crusade against Havriel space.
When the final assault came, Lyarth was burned to glass.
The Great Dyad of Syx Corsage and Seven Novum attempted to defend the world but arrived too late.

Amaranth’s Intervention – Final Salvation

In response to the Dyad’s desperation, Amaranth itself intervened.
Lyarth was once again cast into the Mavimyst, now preserved eternally;suspended in safety and silence, beyond the reach of cosmic destruction.

Optralith – Overview

A Forge World built by the ancient Seraphnim, one of the dominant Inomeni races of the Etymology Era.
Known as the origin world of the Aetherisk, a sapient Condevi race engineered for loyalty and battle.
Unlike larger, more multifaceted Forge Worlds, Optralith was constructed for a singular function: to produce and refine the Aetherisk.

Planetary Attributes

Considered small compared to other Forge Worlds; comparable in size to a dwarf rocky planet.
Its limited size reflected its specialized purpose—no need for vast infrastructure or population accommodations.
Entire planetary design was optimized for controlled Condevi genesis, hard-light engineering, and mass deployment.

Syltphaan

Outer SystemStrategic Territory

Show details

Syltphaan System – Overview

A large and developed star system in the Far-West of Ambrosia's Realm of Resonance, centered on the white star Syltphaan.
Home to the Ophonoti and their Forever-Abound Technological Demarchy, one of the three founding members of the AAUS.

General Attributes

Total population: 23 trillion sapients; most populous system in the Far-West.
Known for high technological infrastructure, strategic Janus Gate placement, and interstellar political relevance.
Composed of six planets and five major moons, with three defined orbital regions: Ferophaan (inner), Aethophaan (middle), Iecophaan (outer).

Defined Regions

Ferophaan Region (Inner Worlds)

Eshtury: Airless, rocky world; major mining center and source of Quantum Ring materials. Scarred and reduced in mass due to extensive strip-mining.
Coatsy: Toxic, yellow stone world with extreme heat and phosphorous-rich terrain. Populated sparsely with orbital and surface mining colonies.

System Space

Region

Show details

System Space – Overview

In the Ambrosia Galaxy, charted space is defined solely by the presence of active Janus Gateways;small spatial tears that link one star system to another.
These tears exist within “Real Space,” a realm flooded with raw Amaranth energy, which constitutes the majority of the universe's volume.
Following the end of the Great Age Typhonia and the banishment of the Typhonians, the spatial fabric of Ambrosia transformed;compressing the infinite Amaranth expanse into a finite structure.
This transformation rendered nearly all unprotected space lethally saturated with Amaranth, far too intense for any mortal race to withstand unaided.

Creation and Purpose

System Space refers to regions of the universe protected from the destructive force of ambient Amaranth.
These regions exist inside bubbles of spatial coherence, constructed by the Primordial Annuat during the Dawn Epoch.
The purpose of these bubbles was to allow the rise of the Alizarin races, shielding worlds and systems from collapse under Amaranth pressure.
Systems were linked to one another by the Janus Network, a lattice of wormhole-like connections left in the wake of the Annuat's cosmic journeying.

Spatial Mechanics

A system is only considered “charted” if constant Janus Gate connections can be maintained between it and adjacent systems.
Janus Gate access points are unstable and often fluctuate, making star maps dynamic and partially reliant on observational infrastructure.
While stars from distant systems may be seen in night skies as pinpoints of light, their true stellar arrangements remain hidden without direct entry into their System Space.
The orbital configuration of planets around their stars is invisible from Real Space and must be mapped manually after Janus traversal.

Limitations of Real Space Travel

No mortal civilization has succeeded in developing technology capable of direct traversal through Real Space.
Ships attempting to exit System Space without a Janus Gate are forcibly looped back, exiting in the opposite direction from which they departed.
This phenomenon makes System Space boundaries absolute, with interstellar travel only viable through the Janus Network.
The spatial extent of each System Space bubble varies by system and is dependent on its specific original design by the Annuat.

Amaranth – Spatial Nature

Definition (Spatial Mechanics Context):
- Functions as if infinite energy were spatially condensed into a finite point within space-time, then stretched across the entire firmament of space.
Effect on Matter:
- Any coherent matter or structure is instantly eradicated to its fundamentals.
- Such matter conceptually merges with Amaranth itself.

Exception – Stars and the Horizon Effect

Stars:
- Only objects capable of creating a protective field against Amaranth.
Horizon:
- An energy field generated by a star.
- Produces the Horizon-Effect, which:
  - Conceptually separates Amaranth from the star’s immediate surroundings.
  - Disperses Amaranth enough to allow coherent worlds to form.
  - Varies in size depending on the star’s mass and properties.
Function:
- Comparable to the Sun’s heliosphere shielding the Solar System from the interstellar wind.
- Creates System Space as isolated pockets in the galaxy.
- Traps any species living within that system.

System Space – Travel Limitations

Attempting to leave a system through normal means:
- The Horizon loops the traveler back to the opposite side of the system.
Result:
- No direct travel between systems without special conditions.

Janus Network – Interstellar Travel

Nature:
- Network of tears in reality that span all causality and dimensionality.
- Indirectly created in the primeval past by the Annuat, omnipotent beings whose cosmic wanderings set the foundations of reality.
Janus Gates:
- Opened by warping space-time with advanced technology.
- Allow traversal through interstellar space without being destroyed by Amaranth.
- Each Gate has a fixed end point — travelers cannot alter the destination.
Mapping Space:
- Ambrosian space is charted only as far as navigable Janus Gates are known to exist and be functional.

Wildroot

PlanetHavriel Alliance

Show details

Wildroot – Overview

Wildroot is a small desert planet located in the Sundust System, positioned on the far western frontier of the Lone Horizon within the Realm of Resonance of the Ambrosia Galaxy.
Formerly part of the Havriel Alliance of Ambrosia, Wildroot is the ancestral home of the Rudyondi species, and developed a hybrid culture with the immigrant Havriel population.
Despite lacking major interstellar power or strategic placement, Wildroot maintained a distinct and unified cultural identity throughout its history.
Known for its cultural cohesion and ideological richness, the planet held symbolic importance beyond its physical or political stature.

Notable Individuals

Wildroot is the birthplace of Anna Novum, a Havriel woman born in 1,200 AGY (Ambrosian Galactic Year) who became known as the Cold’s Chosen.
Anna’s later religious and political impact on the Realm of Resonance gave Wildroot a near-pilgrimage status among her followers.
The planet served as the childhood home of Isariel Mace Sappho, a key figure whose birth denotes the beginning of the Ends Emergence calendar.
Although not born on Wildroot, Mace Sappho’s entire formative life was shaped by its cultural and geographic environment.
Verrence Haywood, a Noctivione-Rudyondi hybrid and member of the Typhonian Order, also hailed from Wildroot.
Haywood rose to prominence as a central leader within the Cold’s Chosen faith, further enhancing the planet’s theological reputation.

Yeglaw

Moon

Show details

Yeglaw – Overview

Yeglaw is a moon of the planet Basilox, located within the territory of the Sanlagosa Concordant.
It served as a major Sanlagosa world, notable for being a site where numerous dormant Sanlagosa awoke after the fall of their Seraphnim masters.
Yeglaw became a critical world in the post-Seraphnim era, acting as a stronghold for the Sanlagosa as they reorganized their power structure.
It was one of the last bastions of organized Sanlagosa rule before their confrontation with external cosmic forces.
The moon's surface was covered in endless verdant forests and expansive grasslands, home to a variety of great predatory species.
Despite the abundance of surface life, the Sanlagosa inhabited massive subterranean complexes, leaving the surface ecosystem largely untouched and wild.

Historical Notes

Destruction of Yeglaw

Yeglaw was destroyed during a climactic battle between the ruling Sanlagosa and the Great Dyad of Syx Corsage and Seven Novum.
The ruling Sanlagosa commander, known as the Absalon, initiated a self-destruct protocol, detonating the entire moon in an attempt to defeat the Dyad.
The gambit failed;Syx and Seven survived;and continued their advance toward the Sanlagosa capital world of Sanctum-Sovereign.

Nations

Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems

Interstellar EntityConfederation

Show details

Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems – Overview

Commonly referred to as the Ambrosia Alliance, AAUS, or simply the Alliance.
A long-standing interstellar confederation composed of numerous independent species and member states.
At its peak, controlled nearly 50,000 star systems in the Realm of Resonance of the Ambrosia Galaxy.
In the modern era, it is the largest interstellar entity in the known galaxy, with territory comprising over half of accessible space.
Founded in 1 AGY (Ambrosian Galactic Year), marking the end of the Time of Ashes and the beginning of the Alliance Era.
The Alliance’s formation followed its victory in the First Alliance War against the Sanlagosa Concordant, permanently ending Sanlagosan dominance.

Founding and Origins

Formed in direct response to the Sanlagosa Concordant’s westward expansion beyond the Amaranth Veil.
Initial founders: the Thaytu, Ophonoti, and Merbrekian, who created a military compact that stalled Concordant advancement.
Their resistance allowed other western civilizations to unite into a broader confederation.
The Alliance adopted a defensive posture, driven by fear of Sanlagosan aggression and a desire to maintain sovereignty.

Political Structure and Organization

Functions as a loose confederation of nations with autonomous governance.
Mutual agreements bind members through commerce, travel, mutual aid, and collective defense.
Internal sovereignty is emphasized, but often undermined by both corruption and dominant member actions.
Governed by a central parliamentary body, which coordinates rather than rules.
The executive leadership historically held disproportionate influence, particularly during crises.

First Alliance War (1,000 TI – 1 AGY)

Began during the Concordant’s expansion west of the Amaranth Veil, driven secretly by Absalon’s search for Finality, a mythical Inomeni weapon.
Western regions were balanced by two rival powers: the Julietic Empire of the Jaslith and the Tratias Hegemony of Ruusan.
Independent species such as the Ophonoti, Thaytu, and Merbrekian were caught in escalating conflict.
The Ophonoti were the first to resist, but were quickly overrun.
Their plight drew in other powers, forming the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems to halt the Concordant’s advance.

Discovery of Póli Ton Theón

The Thaytu uncovered Póli Ton Theón, a lost megastructure that once served as the capital of the Etymology of All-Being.
Hidden for millennia beyond the Amaranth Veil, the site had remained lost since the Red Galaxy Event (30,000 TI).
Misclassified as “Primordial” due to the forgotten legacy of the Etymology.
The megastructure’s symbolic and strategic value, coupled with its ancient weapons and resources, galvanized the Alliance.
With its help, the Alliance halted the Concordant's progress and forced mutual peace, with borders frozen on either side of the Amaranth Veil.

Contemporary Rivalry with the Ring Majestic

Since 100 EE, the Alliance has maintained a contemptuous relationship with the Ring Majestic led by Syx Corsage and Seven Novum.
This Dyad was responsible for the total destruction of the Sanlagosa Concordant, positioning them as a galactic superpower beyond precedent.
The Dyad's repeated saves of the galaxy from threats the Alliance could not face deepened fear and resentment.
The Alliance began to perceive the Dyad as an existential threat to its long-standing hegemony.

Government Structure

Union of independent systems and nations, each retaining sovereignty.
Operates under a confederate constitution via a parliamentary body (Point-Citadel).
The parliament coordinates, rather than commands, defense, diplomacy, and intersystem policy.
Real power often lies with dominant member states or powerful political coalitions.
Despite constitutional design, the central executive often overrides local authority during wartime or crisis.

Ideology

Founded on principles of:
- Decentralization,
- Autonomy,
- Minimal regulation,
- Egalitarian representation.
Attracts peripheral systems desiring self-governance and relief from centralized empires.
However, a lack of centralized enforcement has led to:
- Exploitation,
- Displacement,
- Political marginalization of native and minority populations.
Dominant states often enforce coercive control over multiple systems, contradicting Alliance ideals.

Capital and Legislature

Capital world: Póli Ton Theón, repurposed as the Alliance’s seat of power.
The Point-Citadel serves as the central administrative and legislative hub.
The Alliance Legislature coordinates mutual defense and oversees intersystem diplomacy.
Its power is limited by internal politics, bureaucratic interference, and dominance by larger member coalitions.
Lacks enforcement capacity, often suppressed when confronting controversial military or political operations.

Havriel Alliance of Ambrosia

NationInterstellar Power

Show details

Havriel Alliance of Ambrosia - Overview

A minor interstellar civilization of the Realm of Resonance's Near-East Systems native to the planet Lyarth.
Faced total annihilation during the Sanlagosa Concordant Crusade.
Possessed no viable military defense capable of withstanding Sanlagosa's overwhelming force.
Their only weapon of consequence was Mace Sappho, a singularly powerful individual.

Relationship with the AAUS

The AAUS invited the Havriel to join, but the Havriel rejected the invitation.
The Havriel saw themselves as superior to the Jaslith, and resented the idea of submission to the Alliance Council.
They publicly mocked the AAUS, calling it a "paper wall" compared to the storm that was the Sanlagosa Concordant.
When the Sanlagosa turned their attention toward the Havriel, the Havriel pleaded for AAUS aid.
- The request was denied, as the AAUS refused to risk war to defend a hostile and unaligned civilization.
The AAUS left the Havriel to their fate, a political consequence of years of Havriel disdain.

The Sanlagosa Crusade

The Sanlagosa Concordant, the most powerful nation in the modern Realm of Resonance, launched a full-scale invasion of Havriel space.
The Havriel Alliance was quickly overwhelmed, losing world after world.
Mace Sappho, known as the Immortal Red Dragon, was the only effective countermeasure the Havriel had.
- Could defeat any Sanlagosa challenger in personal combat.
- But could not stand against entire legions or mass-scale planetary assaults.

Mace Sappho's Role

Deployed as the sole frontline combatant to resist Sanlagosa incursions.
Capable of defeating any individual Sanlagosa, but unable to stand against entire legions.
Believed he was fighting to save planetary populations, unaware he was being used as a decoy and tool of assessment.
Missions were not rescue operations, but tests to measure:
- The power of Sanlagosa legions.
- The upper limits of Mace’s own strength.
No weakness in the Sanlagosa was ever uncovered.

Strategic Military Decisions

The Alliance intentionally abandoned its outlying colony worlds as sacrificial losses.
Focused all resources and attention on capital world Lyarth, attempting to engineer a last resort.
The true purpose of the resistance was to buy time, not to win battles.
The severing of Janus Gateways (FTL) to and from outlying colonies was intentional.
- Prevented flow of information, verification, or escape.

Tactical Advantages and the Janus Melder

The Havriel's survival beyond a single day was due to:
- A mix of luck and advanced tactics.
- Most importantly, the discovery and reverse-engineering of an ancient Seraphnim Janus Melder by Chrysanthemum Corsage.
  - Unlike standard Janus Shift-Drives (which could only open portals), the Janus Melder could:
    - Temporarily close, relocate, and reconnect gates.
    - Shift spatial positions before snapping back.
  - This gave the Havriel full FTL lockdown control, enabling them to wall off their space.

Propaganda and Deception

A galactic propaganda campaign was launched by the Havriel leadership.
- Claimed Mace was achieving total victory against the Sanlagosa. Turning Mace into the species largest celebrity idol with his image everywhere in Havriel space.
- Broadcast messages, holos, and visuals of Mace as a heroic savior.
Citizens were told their worlds were being saved, when in reality:
- Entire planets were destroyed.
- Billions of lives were lost, and no rescue was ever planned.
Mace became a manufactured celebrity-hero, praised across the remaining Havriel Alliance.
- His false reports of victory were scripted and strategic.
Mace was ordered to lie about victories, even as planets were falling.
- In reality, he was always instructed to retreat once the Sanlagosa's victory became inevitable.
Mace believed he was helping, unaware of the broader strategy.

Public Deception vs. Private Desperation

The Havriel Alliance was not unaware of its destruction; it merely maintained the illusion of stability publicly.
Purpose: To prevent panic and allow uninterrupted work on potential countermeasures against the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Citizens were kept functioning and unaware while the government worked in secrecy on every conceivable solution.

False Information Apparatus

To maintain the lie, the Havriel government deployed a “Dummy AI” system.
- Created convincing chatbots of deceased individuals.
- Allowed family members to receive false messages and fake pleasantries.
- Designed to calm the population, maintain the illusion their loved ones were still alive.
Citizens who attempted to contact relatives received AI-generated responses, not truth.

Collapse of the Illusion

When Mace Sappho was eventually killed, the truth unraveled.
- News of his death shattered the myth of resistance.
- Widespread panic, despair, and surrender followed.
The population was frozen in terror, aware of their inevitable doom.
- The leadership allowed them to despair silently, while desperate plans continued behind closed doors.

Aftermath and Response

The psychological collapse of the population led to the birth of Project Zero.
- A last-ditch attempt by the Havriel Alliance to develop something—anything—that could stop the Concordant.
The entire final phase of the war became a race against extinction, driven by guilt, desperation, and the memory of Mace.

Moral Ambiguity

While the propaganda and lies were abhorrent, some in the Havriel government believed it necessary.
- Argued that revealing the truth would only cause chaos.
- Public morale was seen as critical to survival, even if maintained through fabrication.
The ethical dilemma remained: Is it better to lie and give false hope, or tell the truth and destroy all hope?

Project Zero

In response to the death of Mace Sappho, the Havriel initiated Project Zero, a biological-superweapon program:
- "Zero", the first subject, was a resounding success, able to kill thousands of Sanlagosa alone.
- Attempts to replicate him in Z1 through Z10 failed—none matched his strength or durability.
- Due to limited Seraphnim/Isariel essence, the project was not expanded further.
- Instead, efforts focused on relying solely on Zero.
Seven (Project Zero's young form) would later emerge, but by that point:
- The Havriel were already considered dead politically and militarily.
- Seven was not revealed to the public, as hope had long since vanished.
Zero and his team (Team Zero) never operated on Havriel worlds again.
- Focused exclusively on attacking Sanlagosa systems and stealing tech.
By the time of Syx Corsage’s entry into Project Zero, only two major Havriel worlds remained:
- Attainment
- Lyarth

Failed Sanlagosa Concordany Countermeasure Projects

Mace Sappho was a complete anomaly—a biological singularity that could not be reproduced.
- Origin tied to Waypoint, which was destroyed, making replication impossible.

1. Genetic Replication Attempts

Mass artificial insemination using Mace's sperm:
- Attempted as a method to pass down his genetics.
- Ultimately failed—Mace's sperm proved mysteriously sterile.
Cloning Projects:
- Extensive efforts made to clone Mace.
- All known cloning technology failed to produce viable results due to the principles of the Cognita-Mechandra.

2. Technological & Hybrid Projects

Project Cyberized:
- Aimed to augment Havriel subjects with cybernetics.
- Failed due to biological incompatibility or instability in Havriel physiology.
Reverse-Engineering Sanlagosa Weaponry:
- Efforts to utilize captured or analyzed tech were fruitless.
- Sanlagosa weaponry would not function properly against their own kind—built with safeguards or metaphysical bindings.

3. Project Gladiator

One of the earlier replication initiatives.
Created to produce a new Havriel weapon capable of rivaling Mace.
The program was a complete failure.

4. Project Zero

Considered the only partially successful outcome.
- Produced one highly effective result: “Zero”, a superpowered being capable of fighting thousands of Sanlagosa.
However, subsequent iterations did not meet expectations:
- Z1 through Z10 fell far short of Zero’s abilities.
- Limited availability of Isariel/Seraphnim essence halted further expansion.

Sanlagosa Concordant

EmpireAuthoritarian

Show details

Sanlagosa Concordant – Overview

Also known as the “Sanlagosa Empire” or “Seraphnim-Secundus”.
A vast interspecies autocracy based in the Eastern Systems of the Realm of Resonance, formerly Seraphnim Space.
Founded by the Sanlagosa species in 5,000 TI (Time Immemorial).
Rose to dominance following victory over the Ragnalith Dark Empire in 3,000 TI.
Controlled over 50,000 star systems at its height, with varying degrees of authority and presence.

Founding Species – The Sanlagosa

Created by the ancient Seraphnim, one of the Ten Supreme Races of the Inomeni.
Designed as the most powerful Condevi of their time, meant to wage war against the Isariel.
Possessed immense power ; base individuals could shatter mountains, and higher castes could destroy planets.
Became obsolete after the mutual annihilation of the Seraphnim and Isariel by the Void in 70,000 TI.

Origins and Formation

The Concordant began when a Sanlagosa Consecratum, a massive ark-like vessel, awoke from stasis on the former Isariel moon Yeglaw.
Originally created to seed Sanlagosa into enemy Isariel territory during the Seraphnim’s galactic war.
Survived the galactic-wide detonation of Finality, the Seraphnim’s apocalyptic superweapon that attempted to halt the Void’s advance by annihilating all life.
Freed from masters and enemies alike, the surviving Sanlagosa forged their own empire, expanding unchallenged.

Structure and Ideology

Operated as a rigid ethnocentric hierarchy ruled solely by Sovereign Absalon.
Oracle AI Systems, reverse-engineered from Seraphnim archivists, catalogued every citizen's thoughts, actions, and loyalties.
Social ranking was built on “Concordant Loyalty” points, rewarded for devotion to Absalon and state ideology:
- Higher scores = better housing, medical care, social status, job access, and romantic prospects.
- Dissenters could be demoted, prosecuted, or recruited for unique insight under threat of execution.
The Concordant maintained unity through a combination of:
- Military force
- Cultural assimilation
- Technological supremacy
- Psychological loyalty programs

Concordant Expansion and Power

Achieved full dominance over Eastern Systems through a blend of conquest and diplomacy.
Reverse-engineered Seraphnim and Isariel tech, which gave them unmatched command over:
- Weapons systems
- Planetary shielding and control
- Starship architecture
Experienced no major threats until the emergence of the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems in 1 AGY, formed as a defensive measure against further Concordant incursion westward.

Rule of Absalon

Sole ruler and military commander from formation to the Concordant’s end.
A former commander of the Consecratum; remained in power for thousands of years.
Oversaw massive expansion, technological growth, and the creation of a racial empire.
Ultimately fell to Syx Corsage and Seven Novum, the Great Dyad, in 84 EE (Ends Emergence).

The Havriel Crusade and Fall

In 34 EE, the Concordant launched the Havriel Crusade, believing the Havriel were descendants of the hated Isariel.
Despite advanced superiority, this genocidal campaign destabilized the Concordant internally.
Sparked civil unrest and rebellion, fracturing the empire from within.

Absalon’s Madness and the Key to End’s Beginning

Discovered a Seraphnim relic: the “Key to End’s Beginning” ; a map to Finality’s location.
Feared the Void’s return and believed only reactivating Finality could prevent total annihilation.
Secretly began enacting an apocalyptic plan to detonate Finality once more, sacrificing the entire galaxy.
Orchestrated mass planetary destructions under false pretenses of military necessity.
Was ultimately slain by the Great Dyad before triggering his final plan.

Aftermath – Collapse and Breakaways

The Concordant shattered following Absalon’s death and the Dyad’s intervention.
Former territories fragmented into smaller successor states known collectively as the “Concordant-Breakaways.”
Among the most prominent was the Concordant-Remnant, which briefly maintained order before its eventual destruction.
Several breakaway factions were founded by notable commanders and defectors, such as:
- Solaris Veshron, who became Sovereign of the “Swords of Anchorage.”

Legacy

The Concordant left a permanent imprint on galactic history ; both as a monument to Seraphnim legacy and as a cautionary tale of power and madness.
It was simultaneously a force of unity through order and a source of genocidal ambition, echoing the unresolved conflicts of its creators.
Its fall marked the beginning of modern galactic balance, and its ruins remain scattered across Eastern Ambrosia, watched cautiously by powers who survived it.

Groups

Ragnarok Guard

Ragnalith EmpireElite Guard

Show details

Ragnarok Guard – Overview

Elite guard corps of the Ragnalith Dark Empire.
Comprised exclusively of Ragnalith species.
Members selected forcibly from the military ranks; no choice given.
Trained on the Edoasteri of Stratsrophe.

Inspirations and Legacy

Inspired by the Sovereign’s Guard, protectors of the Isariel Godqueen Juno.
Also drew from the Tyrant Guard, a Mymiramel-based guard inspired by the Sovereign’s Guard.
- The Tyrant Guard were dismantled after the Mymiramel were absorbed into the Dark Empire.
The name "Sovereign Guard" was a parody against Juno's enemy, the Golden Sovereign of the Seraphnim Seranna;meant to guard against a Sovereign, not for one.

Structure and Symbolism

Comprised of seven distinct groups, each with their own variant of Ragnalith Armor.
- The number seven is sacred to the Ragnalith.
The top tier was the Imperial Ragnalith Guard, wearing Crimson Celestalite Armor.
Functioned as a catch-all formation, unifying multiple guard types under one title.

Training and Combat Capability

Brutal training regimen: 70 recruits enter; only 7 survive.
Trained to be unquestioning, brutal, and efficient, executing any order without hesitation.
Focused on mastering the Source of Psionics and enhancing their inherent control over the Source of Darkness.
Psionic communication allowed instant coordination across massive distances.
Augmented with Celestalite armor and a ceremonial cape-robe hybrid.
Armed with:
- Melee weapons: Celestalite energy blades, knives, staves, spears.
- Ranged weapons: Powerful laser rifles.
- Darkness manipulation as their ultimate weapon.
Far more powerful than even standard Ragnalith; capable of continent-scale destruction.

Founding and Tragic Origins

Created by Emperor Sevyn Nefarum after the "murder" of his daughter Venom.
- In truth, Venom took her own life, believing it could’ve been prevented had she a permanent elite guard.
- Sevyn blamed Absalon of the Sanlagosa, fueling the Guard’s formation.

Post-Empire Role and Transformation

After the Ragnalith Empire's fall, the Sanlagosa Concordant retained the Ragnarok Guard.
- Absalon kept them racially Ragnalith out of mutual respect.
An eighth group, the Absent Guard, was formed:
- Comprised entirely of elite Sanlagosa.
- Wore black Ragnalith armor.
- Tasked with protecting the Covenant of the Unbowed.
- Not officially part of the Ragnarok Guard but heavily inspired by them.

Collapse and Fragmentation

The Ragnarok Guard became the highest attainable rank for surviving Ragnaliths.
Resented by many Sanlagosa they were assigned to protect.
Most were killed in the destruction of Sanctum Sovereign.
Following the fall of the Concordant, the Guard fractured and nearly collapsed entirely.

Paxius Vyolon and the Shadow Concordant

Paxius Vyolon, a surviving Ragnarok Guard, became the personal Sovereign Protector of Absalon.
- Chosen after nearly killing Absalon in the final battle, earning his respect.
After Absalon’s death, Paxius declared himself the new Unbowed Sovereign, founding the Shadow Concordant.
Purged surviving Ragnarok Guard members to eliminate future threats to his power.
The Shadow Concordant became one of six successor powers vying for Sanlagosa territories in the three-year chaos following Absalon’s assassination by Syx Corsage and Seven Novum.

Carmine Kira and the Fall of the Shadow Concordant

Carmine Kira, a member of the Imperial Ragnalith Guard, survived Paxius’s purge.
She waged a shadow war against the Shadow Concordant in vengeance.
Allied with Syx Corsage, who had destroyed the Concordant Remnant.
Together, Syx and Carmine systematically dismantled the Shadow Concordant.
Paxius Vyolon was ultimately killed by Carmine, ending the last vestiges of the Ragnarok Guard.

Legacy

Syx Corsage would later base her own Praetorian Guard (Ring Majestic’s defense force) on the Ragnarok Guard’s model.
- Carmine Kira was recruited as one of its first members.

Havriel-Sanlagosa Crusade

GenocideGalactic War

Show details

Havriel-Sanlagosa Crusade – Overview

Also known as the Sanlagosa-Havriel War, the Havriel Genocide, and the Concordant's Fall.
A protracted interstellar war and genocide waged by the Sanlagosa Concordant against the Havriel species, as well as the Rudyondi and Evermorian.
Spanned from 34 EE to 84 EE (Ends Emergence).
Resulted in the near-total extermination of all three targeted species.
Culminated in the Battle of Finality, which led to:
- The death of Absalon,
- The collapse of the Concordant, and
- A major transformation of galactic governance.

Origins of the Conflict

Initiated by Absalon, the Unbowed Sovereign of the Sanlagosa Concordant.
Sparked by a visit from Juno, Godqueen of Isariel and a surviving Inomeni.
- Juno warned that the Golden Sovereign would reincarnate as a Havriel.
- Urged Absalon to prevent her return, lest the Sanlagosa instinctively shift loyalty to her.
Absalon manipulated the Sanlagosa’s bioweapon conditioning:
- Framed the Havriel as descendants of the Isariel.
- Pushed for a "final purge" of their remaining kind.
The Sanlagosa executed the genocide with mechanized efficiency, obeying without resistance.
The Havriel fought back with desperation, resorting to any means necessary.

Absalon's Hidden Agenda

The genocide served as a distraction; Absalon’s true goal was to find Finality, a mythical Seraphnim construct.
Finality was believed to offer a post-existence unity, a state beyond Void and individuality.
Absalon feared the Void as a corruptive, meaningless end to existence.
Sought Finality as a universal salvation from the Void’s slow encroachment.
He viewed it not as destruction, but a merciful convergence into unified wholeness ; "the only escape from the Void."

Havriel’s Defiance and the Janus Melder

The Havriel’s surprising longevity in war was due in part to the Janus Melder, reverse-engineered by Chrysanthemum Corsage.
Unlike traditional Janus Shift-Drives, the Janus Melder could:
- Temporarily manipulate and displace Janus Gates,
- Grant control over interstellar movement,
- Seal systems off to delay extermination.
Its existence was kept secret as a last resort for use against either the Concordant or the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems (AAUS).
Upon the war’s outbreak, the Melder was activated to buy time and strategic flexibility.

Absalon’s Discovery

Though the war was a means to mask his real agenda, it directly led Absalon to discover the Key to End’s Beginning.
One of four sacred Seraphnim relics needed to activate Finality.
The Key was located on Attainment, a Havriel world.
- Left by the Seraphnim as a future contingency against the Void.
Absalon retrieved the Key in secret, posing the operation as a normal purge.
His actions were eventually discovered by Syx Corsage and Seven Novum, triggering:
- His pursuit by the Dyad,
- His flight to the Seraphnim Forgeworld of Remembrance,
- And the beginning of his ultimate downfall.

Items

Celestalite

CondeviSeraphnim Creation

Show details

Celestalite – Overview

Also known as "Star-Metal" and "Celestial Matter"; an immensely powerful metallic substance found exclusively within stellar cores across the Ambrosia Galaxy.
Formed by the condensation of Celestial, the primordial Source substance of all stars; under immense mass and pressure, it solidifies into metallic form at the stellar core.

Properties and Rarity

Considered the single strongest metal in all of Creation; surpasses all other known materials in durability, density, and energy conductivity.
Despite being present in every star, Celestalite is rarely harvested due to the extreme conditions required for its extraction and refinement.
Harvesting Celestalite requires unparalleled power or mechanical engineering far beyond the capabilities of most civilizations.
Its location within stellar cores and exposure to intense Celestial radiation renders extraction lethally dangerous and often impossible for standard technologies.

Historical Usage – Rare Figures

Historically wielded only by individuals or civilizations of immense power or galactic significance.
Notably used by Juno, Godqueen of the Inomeni of Isariel; forged divine artifacts and relics using Celestalite’s unmatched properties.
Mystara, one of the Ten Supreme Authorities of the Etymology of All-Being, employed Celestalite on a massive scale.
Mystara constructed Póli Ton Theón, her eternal seat of power, entirely from Celestalite during the height of the Etymology Era.

Warfare Applications – The Ragnalith

The most prolific and fearsome use of Celestalite was by the Ragnalith warriors of the Dark Empire.
Gifted with near-innate command over the Source of Darkness, Ragnaliths could extract Celestalite directly from stellar cores without resistance.
Forged Celestalite into armored suits for their elite warriors, granting near-total invulnerability to all conventional mortal harm.
These warriors, clad in Ragnalith Armor, became galactic legends; their armor’s resilience and power turned them into avatars of unstoppable ruin.

Treasure of Gladio-Mankano

Legendary ItemAncient Artifact

Show details

Treasure of Gladio-Mankano – Overview

A handwritten paper note authored by Gladio-Mankano shortly before his death in ~54,000 TI (Time Immemorial).
Named the "Treasure of Gladio-Mankano" by its first posthumous reader, Mystara; it is now a Remnant artifact appearing to select figures across time.

Temporal Anomaly

The note has appeared repeatedly throughout Ambrosian history, manifesting even before its own creation or after its destruction.
It only appears to historically significant individuals linked to the Line to the End, suggesting a role in catalyzing revelation.

Ontological Function

The content changes with each appearance, becoming garbled or nonsensical when the reader is not "meant" to understand it.
It reveals, or attempts to reveal, the truth of Imagindarium and the grand predestination of reality, presenting the entire universe as a deterministic narrative.

True Authorial Intent

Gladio-Mankano wrote the note after learning the ultimate truth: that Imagindarium authored all existence as a cosmic narrative.
The note serves as both his confession and a universal alarm; he refers to his life’s purpose as a “lie,” and reveals the horror of being an actor in a predetermined play.

Cultural Obscurity

Despite its cosmic weight, the note is barely known across Ambrosia; its selective appearances and cryptic nature prevent widespread awareness.
Most who receive it dismiss it as incoherent madness, further isolating its message.

Notable Manifestations

Mystara: First posthumous reader; discovers the Line to the End from the note after killing Gladio-Mankano. This catalyzes her eventual transformation into Darkness.
Poison Novum: Encounters the note but willfully forgets the knowledge it reveals, until Imagindarium later forces the memory back into her.
Oblivion Mystara: Receives the note upon entering Ambrosia from the Mavimyst, but fails to comprehend it and discards it.

Physical Description

A single 8.5x11 inch carbon paper page, wrinkled and torn, smelling faintly of pine from the conifer forests of Tarovania (its world of origin).
The paper always bears these characteristics regardless of when or where it manifests.

Common Reactions

Most readers experience unease, quickly discarding or destroying it.
The note typically appears in the viewer’s native language, but its meaning may be garbled or incomprehensible depending on their metaphysical "eligibility."

Key Terms in All Versions

Every version of the note includes the words "Imagindarium" and "Amaranth" at least once, despite language variation or text corruption.
The back of the page is always blank aside from folds, tears, and incidental markings.

Original Quotation

The only original full version of the note reads:
- “When I was born, I believed myself to be Ambrosia's savior... My life, your life, and all life hereafter is nothing but a pointless lie... there is no defying of fate. No defying Imagindarium's horrid Creation.” – Gladio-Mankano
This passage is only confirmed to exist in Mystara’s memory and the clairvoyant record of the universe.

Fragmented Future Versions

Later versions of the note feature incomprehensible wording or broken structure:
- "Florn wkae droms, bwileev ot sa rmefity Esavirobn’a..."
- "Mihtk, skninaps orghghy suoh ryt?... Ctaherife ril now imagimag!"
These represent the reader's inability to perceive the Line to the End.

Function in Creation

The note serves as a litmus test of metaphysical awareness ; the more broken the note’s message, the less fit the reader is to understand Imagindarium.
It is not the sole method to perceive the Line to the End, but it is a significant narrative artifact to reveal this truth, especially to Mystara and Poison Novum.

Symbolic Mechanism

Functions as a metaphysical "application form" handed down by Imagindarium/Amaranth.
Its presence signifies that a being has been evaluated for narrative clarity and potential agency in relation to the Ultimate End.

Remnant Status

The note is a Remnant ; a metaphysical concept preserved in Creation by Imagindarium through the Source of Amaranth.
Its permanence is governed by the "Law of First Principle": as the first written instance explicitly naming Imagindarium, it was immortalized as a universal constant.
As a Remnant, the note can transcend linear time, space, and causality.
It exists outside the boundaries of entropy, ensuring it can reappear regardless of its destruction in previous timelines.
