Ambrosia itself is a mythical collection of stars, all bound together in an unbarred, harmonious spiral-like pattern, gravitationally held in place by the '''Amaranth Veil''', located at the center of the Amaranth Realm. Contained within this heavenly mass of stars are billions upon billions of planets and moons, all containing diverse geographies, climates, and vast ecosystems of wild and exotic forms of life, both simple, and complex.

Throughout the tens of thousands of years Ambrosia has remained extant within creation, several generations of sapient beings have held sole dominion over the Amaranth Realm, as the whole of existence has changed hands throughout a never-ending cycle of generational succession. The play of Imagindarium's creation is written on the principle that no matter the force mustered, the next generation shall, and will, succeed their forbearers. This line of cosmic succession is known as the '''Amaranth Concatenation''', so named for its absolute certainty, forged within the very fabric of creation itself.

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''Amaranth Conception - The First Light'''</span> ====
In the time before time itself, there was an eternal state of absolute nothing which permeated across all. An infinite void of uncreation known as the '''''Void of Totality''''' had remained the sole state of all reality, leaving the '''''Cosmos'''''' very existence in a blackened form of nothingness. From beyond the boundaries of the Cosmos, the force of everlasting reach and eternal presence, '''''Imagindarium''''', existed separate from this state of everlasting nothing. From outside existence's boundaries, Imagindarium had begun its sole function, to bring about its '''''Ultimate End''''', and it would use the functions of existence yet to be as its medium.

This time of absolute nothingness would come to an abrupt end, as the very first action would be committed by the force Imagindarium, and with this first act, it began its function upon reality. In an instant, the very first light had been born, a great '''Amaranth''' glow which had spawned forth from absolute nothingness, creating a vast macrocosm sealed away from the infinite nothing that surrounds. In an infinitesimally brief moment, that very macrocosm had existed at a size and state immeasurably minuscule. However, nearly equally as instantaneous as the '''Amaranth Conception''' which had created the very macrocosm, it had expanded to an immeasurable distance.

Within that macrocosm, three separate realms of existence split into three disparate regions. The first took the form of a vast realm of Amaranth-colored proto energies that swirled in violent chaos, lacking coherent form or direction, existing as an eternal and turbulent primordial swath of uncontrolled infinite volatile Amaranth energies. As the concepts of gravity and time had yet to come to be, the immeasurable amount of energy now within existence remained in an indefinite state of stagnation, and as the whole of creation's first great energies were unable to move or disperse, they would remain as a condensed point of infinite energy within newly created space.

Past an unknowable frame of time before the creation of what we understand of time, the first act of gravity would be committed, as Imagindarium would introduce the concept of gravitational forces into Ambrosia. As this happened, the never-ending swath of Amaranth energies spanning an eternal distance all became instantly bound to one another, and in an equally instant moment, the endless and immense primeval energies which permeated across all of Ambrosia's existence all coalesced into a condensed point in existence. Conceived from this coalescence of these infinite '''''Fragmentations of all Creation''''' itself, came into being a collective existence of endless pure and mythical power, Amaranthia.

As Amaranthia embedded its existence into reality, the fabric of actuality began to bend and shred against the strain of this new condensation of limitless majestic energy. And as a result of this shattering of reality came an immense gateway linking Amaranthia to that of Ambrosia. Once this great Amaranth Veil between the two planes of existence was forged, the infinite arcane energies flowed from Amaranthia into the primeval Ambrosia, drenching all of its elements in a crushing magical weight. Whilst its formation also held the chaotic state of this young universe in perfect order around it, centering all of reality in rotation about a great Amaranth light. With this, the former turbulent state of Ambrosia had ended, and instead, all of Ambrosia's energies would remain in total order, laying the foundation for the further states of Ambrosia to come to be.

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''Libation - The Great Collective'''</span> ====
Separated from Ambrosia lies the second macrocosm forged at the dawn of the Amaranth Conception, Libation. Situated in a spatial plane above the realm in which Ambrosia inhabits, this second existence was an endless and empty realm of reality. However, upon the creation of Amaranthia, and subsequently the creation of cosmic order within Ambrosia, the realm of Libation was set upon by direct intervention from Imagindarium itself. A great Amaranth Contravene rolled all across the infinite void, and in an instant, all of this aforementioned void became consumed in endless and total light, as Imagindarium began to lay the foundations of Libation's function in relation to that of Ambrosia's.

From this eternal light, an endless stream of concepts, forces, and energies yet to be had begun to form in an ever-expanding gateway, stretching across an eternal distance. With this, Libation's purpose in the Cosmos had been cemented, as it would serve as both the repository of all that would come to be within Ambrosia. As well, Libation would begin to serve as the way in which energies that would later reach their respective point of entropy would be sent to once they became totally dispersed, later to be reused in the creation of new forms of energy that would begin to return to inhabit Ambrosia proper.

Primeval Libation would soon prove to be much different to that of the virgin Ambrosia, as the infinite light began to disperse, Libation's nature was made in a way very akin to that of a great gallery, containing that of both what will come to be, and what will never come to pass, forming a Great Collective of near-infinite possibilities. Contained within said gallery are innumerable archive-like swirling circular masses, constantly moving about Libation's spatial dimensions, while within these archives lies several sub-galleries arranged in a dazzling hexagon-like pattern. These sub-galleries are in which Libation's function is made manifest, as contained within are the aforementioned unmade concepts and forces yet to be made reality within Ambrosia.

Immediately following the dispersal of the infinite light which permeated across the entirety of Libation's spatial dimensions, the Great Collective's function within creation began in earnest. As it did, Imagindarium had caused a second Amaranth Contravene to ring across all creation, which in turn brought about the forging into existence of a vast, invisible network of interweaving thread-like strands of pure probability, condensed into a singular point within reality. These threads of total probability would come to be known as the '''Annmaya,''' and their creation would lay the foundations of all possibility and change to occur within all of the universe. The Annmaya's purpose of creation is to ensure that Libation's existence remains permanently connected and anchored to that of Ambrosia, thus allowing the concepts and forces contained within both realms of reality to freely enter and exit between the two in an eternal shared stream of information.

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''Thavma - The Nowhere In-Between'''</span> ====
As both Ambrosia and Libation had made their respective states of individual realities inherent within the Cosmos, a vast void of unreality located in-between these two polar opposite realms had formed as a blackened existence in which nothingness permeated in a looping constant, not unlike that of the Void of Totality itself. This void, known as '''Thavma''' was a self-isolated macrocosm of reality whose sole existence and function was to provide the means in which concepts and forces may pour forth from Libation's existence down into that of Ambrosia's reality, as well as vice versa. Acting as a Thoroughfare that may ferry concepts to both realms of the Cosmos. And while the stagnate state of the Cosmos had yet to allow that function to be, the foundations of Thavma's purpose had already begun to lay itself out.

As these first shared and harmonious concepts began to be sent to and from both Ambrosia and Libation following the creation of the Annmaya, strains of energies that originated from both realms of reality would find themselves ultimately trapped within Thavma's looping state of cosmic unreality. As they did, the very void that surrounded them would soon begin to transmogrify their original nature, causing them to become embedded into Thavma, leading to their newfound existence to become wholly intrinsic and inherent to that of Thavma itself. With this, Thavma's looping macrocosm of unreality would soon find itself inhabited by sparse strains of Thavmatic Energies, allowing for coherent boundaries to be defined within the previously incoherent and empty void.

While the initial form of Thavma was similar to that of the Void of Totality, it differed greatly in regards to its physical properties, existing in an entirely different environment where the very fabric of space itself had been rendered into a chaotic mess instead of being composed in a neatly ordered manner. The various energies that found themselves within the void were thus subjected to Thavma's inherent nature, becoming warped and distorted as they were forced to exist within the chaos that was Thavma. While the process took time, due to the slow but persistent growth of Thavma, it would eventually cause the void's physical structure to become increasingly structured, manifesting a tangible form through the gradual emergence of its primordial structure.

During this period of physical transformation, those energies that became entrapped within the void underwent a metamorphosis of sorts, gradually taking on a new form and shape before finally emerging onto the surface of reality. However, unlike energies found in the primeval Ambrosia, what emerged from Thavma were unique, disparate forms of energy that possessed none of the inherent properties of the Cosmos. Instead, it seemed as though they were to have come from somewhere else entirely, having only taken on some of the basic qualities of the Cosmos that were present within it.

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''The Great Unifier - The Beginning of the End'''</span> ====
Following the final foundation of Ambrosia, Libation, and Thavma, the three macrocosms that would define both the limits and boundaries of Imagindarium's crafted storyline, existence would persist in an undefined state, only having concepts exist in the Cosmos without directed purpose, awaiting the dawn of the predestined line to the End, though this state of existence would soon change. From within the infinite halls of Libation, Imagindarium would once again set itself upon its creation in a direct act of cosmic intervention, as it would make manifest that which will bring about the sole purpose of all that Imagindarium would create. However, unlike its previous direct interventions, Imagindarium would not simply use the fundamental aspects of reality yet to be as the means of creation. Instead, it would craft from its very own essence a force beyond that of omnipotence itself. Thus, spawned forth directly from the very being of Imagindarium, an eternal force of endless presence was forged in a bombastic Amaranth Contravene, ultimately proving the grandest event to ever occur in the whole of the Cosmos' history, even greater than that of the Amaranth Conception itself.

The force which would be spawned from Imagindarium's greatest act of creation would be known as the '''''"Great Unifier,"''''' the eternal embodiment of contradiction and conflict, and it would soon prove to be the one and sole reason in which Imagindarium even set itself upon the Cosmos in the first place, as it would be the sole force which would bring about its fabled Ultimate End. All acts of creation preceding the Great Unifier were done so solely to facilitate the bringing into creation of the Eternal Antagonist of Imagindarium's vast storyline, while everything that would proceed the Great Unifier's creation would equally only be in service to that original act of its creation.

As the Great Unifier first came into being within Libation, it would be the very first entity in existence to have the first coherent thought. Though it would not exist in any form of sapience any being could possibly begin to comprehend, as the Great Unifier is the one force in existence to be forged from Imagindarium's direct essence, it was given an inherent, unthought understanding as to its purpose in reality, and the chain of infinite events which would lead to the Ultimate End's manifestation in creation. So while it could be said that it could indeed actively think about both itself, and the realm which surrounds it, it would be more apt to say that it merely had the untapped understanding of its functions as an inherent aspect of the Great Unifier's very being. Why this was the case would be best explained by comparing the Great Unifier to that of Imagindarium. As the Eternal Antagonist was created directly from Imagindarium's very essence, it would not be incorrect for one to say that the Great Unifier was merely an extension of Imagindarium itself, meaning all which Imagindarium does, knows, and understands would be equally understood by that of the Great Unifier, it simply needed to seek them out.

While the newly christened Great Unifier remained within Libation, it began to internally ponder the meaning of its creation. At first, the force would do so by exploring the infinite halls of the unmade concepts which eternally permeate across Libation. As it did, the Eternal Antagonist would gain a deeper understanding as to what would follow in this still confusing line to a predestined End. With this, the Great Unifier's knowledge as to what, and why it is as it is becoming even further cemented. It held an unthought connection to that of the ever-present Imagindarium, which guided the chain of events in this Time Before Time. However, it still felt as if it was separated from its progenitor cosmic force. In its ponderings, it would peel back the veil that surrounds Libation, peering past the empty Thavma into that of the virgin Ambrosia. As it took in the immense primordial Amaranth energies which created that of the Realm of Ambrosia, it grew to a greater understanding as to its purpose in existence, seeing wherein all that was unmade within Libation would ultimately reach fruition in that of Ambrosia.

Returning its attention back inward, the Great Unifier would begin to take an inventory of all the information it had presented itself. With one last great action, it would force itself in the presence of that of its progenitor, Imagindarium. Once it perceived only a brief example of Imagindarium's beyond eternal presence, it would understand that it was not separate from Imagindarium, but merely a section of the cosmic force's essence, only given existence to fulfill a specific purpose. Immediately following this revaluation, it would instantly unlock the understanding as to the sole purpose behind its creation and existence. As the most powerful force to ever inhabit Imagindarium's vast universe, the Great Unifier would be the catalyst as to the very reason this Cosmos was created, to serve as the sole antagonistic force leading this grand storyline of conflict, leading to a climactic final battle between the Great Unifier itself, and the chosen denizens of Ambrosia's far future, creating an Ultimate End of this universe. To accomplish this, the Great Unifier was forged into being from the very concept of conflict, contradiction, and the failure of an attempted process, the very forces of antagonism themselves.

While it would be too early in the universe for the Great Unifier to begin to fulfill its purpose in reality, it would still fully understand its purpose in existence, as it was given a full and entire vision as to every necessary event to transpire in the vast line to the Ultimate End. As it did, the necessity of the Great Unifier's position in this storyline would be made inherent to it. Without the Great Unifier, the story of Ambrosia would be all but impossible, as the very concept of conflict, the sole driving force behind the line to the End would not be made manifest into the Cosmos. As well, it would equally understand that all events that occurred both before its creation, and those that will occur long after would all be in sole service to that of the Great Unifier's fulfillment of the desired Ultimate End. With this, the Great Unifier would be made to ensure that this purpose it has been given in this grand storyline of conflict would be enacted without even the slightest deviation, becoming the Willful Antagonist to this soon-to-be crafted tale.

With the Great Unifier's acknowledgment to its purpose, the line to Imagindarium's Ultimate End would truly begin, and the realms of Ambrosia, Thavma, and Libation would serve as the setting of this long storyline. With the cementation of the line to the End, the undefined state of existence would also end, as Imagindarium would spread its ever-present essence across all which it had created up until then, making it so only its guiding hand will be the sole action behind every and all things that will, or ever shall occur therein in its crafted universe. No action, reaction, or act of creation shall be made without a direct necessity to the Ultimate End's manifestation in existence, beginning Ambrosia's true purpose in earnest.

As all would come to pass on Libation, Thavma, and finally Ambrosia itself, the Great Unifier would remain at the center of it all, serving as the guiding hand which will lead this grand storyline to its ultimate destination. As it did, it would begin to contemplate its own purpose in life, in a way that can be described as both abstract, and concrete. While it would be right to say that Imagindarium's existence is completely and utterly selfless in its entirety, the Great Unifier knew that it was not Imagindarium's destiny alone to bring about the Final End. As such, with its eternal conflict as the force behind all that will occur in this cosmos, it would also begin to ponder its own role within this grand cosmic narrative, as it would always exist within Imagindarium's ever-present presence, ever-present to the Cosmos itself.

At first, this question would be answered in a rather simple manner, for the Great Unifier's very core would always know that it was destined to become the Eternal Antagonist of Imagindarium's grand storyline of conflict, as it was the only thing which would allow Imagindarium to achieve its Ultimate End. However, as the Cosmos continued to evolve throughout time, the Great Unifier would come to realize that it had another role to play in Imagindarium's grand narrative. This realization came about by the Great Unifier realizing that even though it was the sole antagonistic force in existence, that it was not without purpose itself. As it was the sole instigator and catalyst of conflict itself, the Great Unifier would begin to understand that it was not just a mere pawn in the hands of Imagindarium, but a living being in its own right. That while it was the sole antagonist of Imagindarium, it was also the sole instigator of the entire cosmos itself, being the very power that would eventually lead to the creation of the Ultimate End.

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''Alizarin - The Second Amaranth'''</span> ====
With the cementation of the Great Unifier upon reality's compass, Imagindarium would set itself upon its creation in its penultimate act of direct intervention within the Cosmos. Turning toward Amaranth, Imagindarium's intervention would split forth an equal and opposite side to Amaranth's eternal presence and power, '''''Alizarin.''''' Crafted from Amaranth as a means in which all that is deemed to not exist within Imagindarium's creation eternally shall be able to wither upon time's creation, then return to the Great Collective from whence it came. From this, the concepts of that which is finite and limited were introduced into reality, making a stark contrast between that which is meant to fade into entropy, and those meant to last forever.

While it would not yet come to pass, from Alizarin's creation would come the concept of mortality, perhaps the single-most essential theme within Imagindarium's creation. From Alizarin's deep crimson hue, a central mass of golden light shines between the all-consuming piercing red. This central light is created from the interaction between Alizarin, and that of the Great Collective of Libation, creating a small window into the infinite halls of the uncrafted beyond that of Ambrosia itself. As such, both Alizarin itself and all concepts spawned from it are intrinsically tied to that of Libation. This window to Libation would be the very '''''mortal soul''''' that would soon find itself within uncountable beings across the Cosmos, however, the time of mortality was not yet to pass, with mortality still awaiting the time in which it shall begin its function upon reality.

Equal in Alizarin's function of the concept of finite would be its newfound purpose as the unseen guiding hand behind that of Amaranth. As Alizarin came into being, Amaranth would interact with its opposite form, and as it did, the First Light would reach its ultimate state as the sole guiding hand behind Imagindarium's vast creation. Cementing itself within the very fabric of existence, Amaranth would now exist equally in both physical reality, and as the very ''background'' of the universe's soon-to-be existence as a crafted tale. From this, the line to the Ultimate End could occur without Imagindarium's direct intervention, as Amaranth is its direct essence, all would soon be equal in its guiding hand

=== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''<u>Dawn Epoch</u>'''</span> ===

==== <span style="font-size:26px; font-family: Cinzel; color:#DF0049;">'''Time of the Annuat - Birth of the All-Creators'''</span> ====
With the creation of Alizarin, the definition of infinity and finality was introduced into the Cosmos, leaving all of reality in a state of stark contrast. And with the now well-defined boundaries of existence well established, Imagindarium would set itself upon its creation for a final time. With a last great Amaranth Contravene, Imagindarium would forge from the Annmaya of Libation a set of omnipotent beings, the '''''All-Creator, Annuat''''', the very '''''First Beings''''' to inhabit the Amaranth Realm. With this last act, Imagindarium would never again unleash from its own force any concept into its fantastical Creation, or intervene in events contained therein. Only from the Amaranth spawned from the Great Storyteller's essence shall the Line to the End continue to its predestined point of finality. Only upon the fruition of the Ultimate End shall Imagindarium, once again, call upon a great Contravene directly from its endless extent.

Upon their birth, the Annuat was divided into two distinctive forms, one of creation, and the other of constancy. The '''''Niuat, "All-Created"''''' in the future '''''Typhonian Tongue''''', would be charged with the creation and facilitation of concepts, forces, and objects into the virgin Ambrosia. While the '''''Aethuat "All-Being"''''' would ensure that these created forces and concepts remained eternally extant in reality. These two forms of the Annuat would craft the limits and boundaries of innumerable concepts into the Amaranth Realm. From the Niuat, they would unleash forth a flash of incomprehensible power, and from said blinding energy, the visible light spectrum would be crafted across all the universe, thus allowing other colors of light to shine through the infinite swath of Amaranth that surround. While the Aethuat would unleash ripples of distortion across Ambrosia's spatial dimension, causing invisible, ever-present, and all-consuming inherent links to every entity in the Cosmos, thus creating the omnipresent force of gravity.

However, as they continued to lay down the fundamental aspects of the Cosmos, they would soon have to divide themselves into the respective opposite concepts to their original aspects of creation and stasis, as upon time's function shall the distinction between the eternal and finite be made manifest. Thus, the two forms of Annuat would split their beings into two more omnipotent forms, one of destruction, and the other of change. The '''''Driuat, "All-Destruction,"''''' while not directly being causes of destruction themselves, would ultimately be charged with the duty to ensure that those entities and concepts meant to be destroyed are able to do so. Whilst the '''''Voiuat,"All-End,"''''' would make it so entities who are meant to experience a great amount of change throughout time can do so, making a contrast to the eternal stasis of the universe.

As the collective Annuat continued to create and modify the cosmos, they would eventually begin to feel the burden of having created all that was seen, and all that will be. With this, they would begin to unlock an unthought awareness of their role in the grand scheme of reality. Upon this revelation, the sudden realization of how each and every aspect of the universe shall be shaped by them, and that all the events that shall occur within Ambrosia are only able to be manifest by the concepts and forces which were orchestrated by their very hands. However, as they came to realize this, the Annuat would come to the conclusion that their purpose as creators was not yet complete, and that there was still much to do in order to achieve their ultimate ends. As such, the Annuat would begin to manipulate reality's fabric in order to bring about the greatest possible outcome towards its predetermined goal. In doing so, they would begin to reshape the Cosmos, and mold its very nature according to their design. Thus, the Annuat would continue their task of allowing for the greatest number of entities to exist throughout the cosmos, whilst simultaneously ensuring that all of the universe was able to experience significant change.

Ambrosia. Typhonia. The Amaranth Realm. The Jewel of Longing Eyes. The great macrocosm in which the First Age Creation was made manifest. Within lits Amaranth (Ambrosia) tapestry, a vast storyline of innumerable combatants, torn between the forces of Light and Darkness has played out in a never-ending march towards an Ultimate End, solely determined by Ambrosia's very force of creation, Imagindarium. For thousands upon thousands of years, countless races and beings have risen to prominence across the mortal realm's sacred starlight, only to swiftly fall upon the coming of the next generation. A seemingly endless dance of life and death playing out across an eternal stage of thousands of years, consuming infinite lives across uncountable worlds and lands.

Ambrosia itself is a mythical collection of stars, all bound together in an unbarred, harmonious spiral-like pattern, gravitationally held in place by the Amaranth Veil, located at the center of the Amaranth Realm. Contained within this heavenly mass of stars are billions upon billions of planets and moons, all containing diverse geographies, climates, and vast ecosystems of wild and exotic forms of life, both simple, and complex.

Throughout the tens of thousands of years Ambrosia has remained extant within creation, several generations of sapient beings have held sole dominion over the Amaranth Realm, as the whole of existence has changed hands throughout a never-ending cycle of generational succession. The play of Imagindarium's creation is written on the principle that no matter the force mustered, the next generation shall, and will, succeed their forbearers. This line of cosmic succession is known as the Amaranth Concatenation, so named for its absolute certainty, forged within the very fabric of creation itself.

The very first collection of beings to hold dominion over Ambrosia would be the omnipotent Annuat, directed beings of pure probability whose sole purpose was to lay the fundamental forces of reality in place within existence so that the later generations may rise to prominence. After their purpose was fulfilled, the second generation would be forged by the Annuat directly from the Amaranth Veil, condensing the infinite well of the Fragments of Creation contained within into hundreds of sapient beings of pure magical presence and power, known to themselves as the Typhonians. For tens of thousands of years, in a period known as the Great Age Typhonia, the Typhonians were separated into two disparate factions and were locked in an eternal struggle over sole dominion over the universe.

Ambrosia has held a long and storied history, as countless species, groups, empires, and individuals have attempted to claim its sacred starlight for thousands of years. It has housed numerous interstellar civilizations and species, some of the most notable being the ones who made up the Etymology, an ancient mega-civilization that at its peak controlled the entirety of Ambrosia. However, other ancient civilizations and races before their reign, such as the Inomeni powers of the Isariel and Seraphnim prior, known at the time as the Great Dyad powers, both respectively held dominion over the whole of creation.

History (WIP)=

The Time Before Time

Amaranth Conception - The First Light

In the time before time itself, there was an eternal state of absolute nothing which permeated across all. An infinite void of uncreation known as the Void of Totality had remained the sole state of all reality, leaving the Cosmos' very existence in a blackened form of nothingness. From beyond the boundaries of the Cosmos, the force of everlasting reach and eternal presence, Imagindarium, existed separate from this state of everlasting nothing. From outside existence's boundaries, Imagindarium had begun its sole function, to bring about its Ultimate End, and it would use the functions of existence yet to be as its medium.

This time of absolute nothingness would come to an abrupt end, as the very first action would be committed by the force Imagindarium, and with this first act, it began its function upon reality. In an instant, the very first light had been born, a great Amaranth glow which had spawned forth from absolute nothingness, creating a vast macrocosm sealed away from the infinite nothing that surrounds. In an infinitesimally brief moment, that very macrocosm had existed at a size and state immeasurably minuscule. However, nearly equally as instantaneous as the Amaranth Conception which had created the very macrocosm, it had expanded to an immeasurable distance.

Within that macrocosm, three separate realms of existence split into three disparate regions. The first took the form of a vast realm of Amaranth-colored proto energies that swirled in violent chaos, lacking coherent form or direction, existing as an eternal and turbulent primordial swath of uncontrolled infinite volatile Amaranth energies. As the concepts of gravity and time had yet to come to be, the immeasurable amount of energy now within existence remained in an indefinite state of stagnation, and as the whole of creation's first great energies were unable to move or disperse, they would remain as a condensed point of infinite energy within newly created space.

Past an unknowable frame of time before the creation of what we understand of time, the first act of gravity would be committed, as Imagindarium would introduce the concept of gravitational forces into Ambrosia. As this happened, the never-ending swath of Amaranth energies spanning an eternal distance all became instantly bound to one another, and in an equally instant moment, the endless and immense primeval energies which permeated across all of Ambrosia's existence all coalesced into a condensed point in existence. Conceived from this coalescence of these infinite Fragmentations of all Creation itself, came into being a collective existence of endless pure and mythical power, Amaranthia.

As Amaranthia embedded its existence into reality, the fabric of actuality began to bend and shred against the strain of this new condensation of limitless majestic energy. And as a result of this shattering of reality came an immense gateway linking Amaranthia to that of Ambrosia. Once this great Amaranth Veil between the two planes of existence was forged, the infinite arcane energies flowed from Amaranthia into the primeval Ambrosia, drenching all of its elements in a crushing magical weight. Whilst its formation also held the chaotic state of this young universe in perfect order around it, centering all of reality in rotation about a great Amaranth light. With this, the former turbulent state of Ambrosia had ended, and instead, all of Ambrosia's energies would remain in total order, laying the foundation for the further states of Ambrosia to come to be.

Libation - The Great Collective

Separated from Ambrosia lies the second macrocosm forged at the dawn of the Amaranth Conception, Libation. Situated in a spatial plane above the realm in which Ambrosia inhabits, this second existence was an endless and empty realm of reality. However, upon the creation of Amaranthia, and subsequently the creation of cosmic order within Ambrosia, the realm of Libation was set upon by direct intervention from Imagindarium itself. A great Amaranth Contravene rolled all across the infinite void, and in an instant, all of this aforementioned void became consumed in endless and total light, as Imagindarium began to lay the foundations of Libation's function in relation to that of Ambrosia's.

From this eternal light, an endless stream of concepts, forces, and energies yet to be had begun to form in an ever-expanding gateway, stretching across an eternal distance. With this, Libation's purpose in the Cosmos had been cemented, as it would serve as both the repository of all that would come to be within Ambrosia. As well, Libation would begin to serve as the way in which energies that would later reach their respective point of entropy would be sent to once they became totally dispersed, later to be reused in the creation of new forms of energy that would begin to return to inhabit Ambrosia proper.

Primeval Libation would soon prove to be much different to that of the virgin Ambrosia, as the infinite light began to disperse, Libation's nature was made in a way very akin to that of a great gallery, containing that of both what will come to be, and what will never come to pass, forming a Great Collective of near-infinite possibilities. Contained within said gallery are innumerable archive-like swirling circular masses, constantly moving about Libation's spatial dimensions, while within these archives lies several sub-galleries arranged in a dazzling hexagon-like pattern. These sub-galleries are in which Libation's function is made manifest, as contained within are the aforementioned unmade concepts and forces yet to be made reality within Ambrosia.

Immediately following the dispersal of the infinite light which permeated across the entirety of Libation's spatial dimensions, the Great Collective's function within creation began in earnest. As it did, Imagindarium had caused a second Amaranth Contravene to ring across all creation, which in turn brought about the forging into existence of a vast, invisible network of interweaving thread-like strands of pure probability, condensed into a singular point within reality. These threads of total probability would come to be known as the Annmaya, and their creation would lay the foundations of all possibility and change to occur within all of the universe. The Annmaya's purpose of creation is to ensure that Libation's existence remains permanently connected and anchored to that of Ambrosia, thus allowing the concepts and forces contained within both realms of reality to freely enter and exit between the two in an eternal shared stream of information.

Thavma - The Nowhere In-Between

As both Ambrosia and Libation had made their respective states of individual realities inherent within the Cosmos, a vast void of unreality located in-between these two polar opposite realms had formed as a blackened existence in which nothingness permeated in a looping constant, not unlike that of the Void of Totality itself. This void, known as Thavma was a self-isolated macrocosm of reality whose sole existence and function was to provide the means in which concepts and forces may pour forth from Libation's existence down into that of Ambrosia's reality, as well as vice versa. Acting as a Thoroughfare that may ferry concepts to both realms of the Cosmos. And while the stagnate state of the Cosmos had yet to allow that function to be, the foundations of Thavma's purpose had already begun to lay itself out.

As these first shared and harmonious concepts began to be sent to and from both Ambrosia and Libation following the creation of the Annmaya, strains of energies that originated from both realms of reality would find themselves ultimately trapped within Thavma's looping state of cosmic unreality. As they did, the very void that surrounded them would soon begin to transmogrify their original nature, causing them to become embedded into Thavma, leading to their newfound existence to become wholly intrinsic and inherent to that of Thavma itself. With this, Thavma's looping macrocosm of unreality would soon find itself inhabited by sparse strains of Thavmatic Energies, allowing for coherent boundaries to be defined within the previously incoherent and empty void.

While the initial form of Thavma was similar to that of the Void of Totality, it differed greatly in regards to its physical properties, existing in an entirely different environment where the very fabric of space itself had been rendered into a chaotic mess instead of being composed in a neatly ordered manner. The various energies that found themselves within the void were thus subjected to Thavma's inherent nature, becoming warped and distorted as they were forced to exist within the chaos that was Thavma. While the process took time, due to the slow but persistent growth of Thavma, it would eventually cause the void's physical structure to become increasingly structured, manifesting a tangible form through the gradual emergence of its primordial structure.

During this period of physical transformation, those energies that became entrapped within the void underwent a metamorphosis of sorts, gradually taking on a new form and shape before finally emerging onto the surface of reality. However, unlike energies found in the primeval Ambrosia, what emerged from Thavma were unique, disparate forms of energy that possessed none of the inherent properties of the Cosmos. Instead, it seemed as though they were to have come from somewhere else entirely, having only taken on some of the basic qualities of the Cosmos that were present within it.

The Great Unifier - The Beginning of the End

Following the final foundation of Ambrosia, Libation, and Thavma, the three macrocosms that would define both the limits and boundaries of Imagindarium's crafted storyline, existence would persist in an undefined state, only having concepts exist in the Cosmos without directed purpose, awaiting the dawn of the predestined line to the End, though this state of existence would soon change. From within the infinite halls of Libation, Imagindarium would once again set itself upon its creation in a direct act of cosmic intervention, as it would make manifest that which will bring about the sole purpose of all that Imagindarium would create. However, unlike its previous direct interventions, Imagindarium would not simply use the fundamental aspects of reality yet to be as the means of creation. Instead, it would craft from its very own essence a force beyond that of omnipotence itself. Thus, spawned forth directly from the very being of Imagindarium, an eternal force of endless presence was forged in a bombastic Amaranth Contravene, ultimately proving the grandest event to ever occur in the whole of the Cosmos' history, even greater than that of the Amaranth Conception itself.

The force which would be spawned from Imagindarium's greatest act of creation would be known as the "Great Unifier," the eternal embodiment of contradiction and conflict, and it would soon prove to be the one and sole reason in which Imagindarium even set itself upon the Cosmos in the first place, as it would be the sole force which would bring about its fabled Ultimate End. All acts of creation preceding the Great Unifier were done so solely to facilitate the bringing into creation of the Eternal Antagonist of Imagindarium's vast storyline, while everything that would proceed the Great Unifier's creation would equally only be in service to that original act of its creation.

As the Great Unifier first came into being within Libation, it would be the very first entity in existence to have the first coherent thought. Though it would not exist in any form of sapience any being could possibly begin to comprehend, as the Great Unifier is the one force in existence to be forged from Imagindarium's direct essence, it was given an inherent, unthought understanding as to its purpose in reality, and the chain of infinite events which would lead to the Ultimate End's manifestation in creation. So while it could be said that it could indeed actively think about both itself, and the realm which surrounds it, it would be more apt to say that it merely had the untapped understanding of its functions as an inherent aspect of the Great Unifier's very being. Why this was the case would be best explained by comparing the Great Unifier to that of Imagindarium. As the Eternal Antagonist was created directly from Imagindarium's very essence, it would not be incorrect for one to say that the Great Unifier was merely an extension of Imagindarium itself, meaning all which Imagindarium does, knows, and understands would be equally understood by that of the Great Unifier, it simply needed to seek them out.

While the newly christened Great Unifier remained within Libation, it began to internally ponder the meaning of its creation. At first, the force would do so by exploring the infinite halls of the unmade concepts which eternally permeate across Libation. As it did, the Eternal Antagonist would gain a deeper understanding as to what would follow in this still confusing line to a predestined End. With this, the Great Unifier's knowledge as to what, and why it is as it is becoming even further cemented. It held an unthought connection to that of the ever-present Imagindarium, which guided the chain of events in this Time Before Time. However, it still felt as if it was separated from its progenitor cosmic force. In its ponderings, it would peel back the veil that surrounds Libation, peering past the empty Thavma into that of the virgin Ambrosia. As it took in the immense primordial Amaranth energies which created that of the Realm of Ambrosia, it grew to a greater understanding as to its purpose in existence, seeing wherein all that was unmade within Libation would ultimately reach fruition in that of Ambrosia.

Returning its attention back inward, the Great Unifier would begin to take an inventory of all the information it had presented itself. With one last great action, it would force itself in the presence of that of its progenitor, Imagindarium. Once it perceived only a brief example of Imagindarium's beyond eternal presence, it would understand that it was not separate from Imagindarium, but merely a section of the cosmic force's essence, only given existence to fulfill a specific purpose. Immediately following this revaluation, it would instantly unlock the understanding as to the sole purpose behind its creation and existence. As the most powerful force to ever inhabit Imagindarium's vast universe, the Great Unifier would be the catalyst as to the very reason this Cosmos was created, to serve as the sole antagonistic force leading this grand storyline of conflict, leading to a climactic final battle between the Great Unifier itself, and the chosen denizens of Ambrosia's far future, creating an Ultimate End of this universe. To accomplish this, the Great Unifier was forged into being from the very concept of conflict, contradiction, and the failure of an attempted process, the very forces of antagonism themselves.

While it would be too early in the universe for the Great Unifier to begin to fulfill its purpose in reality, it would still fully understand its purpose in existence, as it was given a full and entire vision as to every necessary event to transpire in the vast line to the Ultimate End. As it did, the necessity of the Great Unifier's position in this storyline would be made inherent to it. Without the Great Unifier, the story of Ambrosia would be all but impossible, as the very concept of conflict, the sole driving force behind the line to the End would not be made manifest into the Cosmos. As well, it would equally understand that all events that occurred both before its creation, and those that will occur long after would all be in sole service to that of the Great Unifier's fulfillment of the desired Ultimate End. With this, the Great Unifier would be made to ensure that this purpose it has been given in this grand storyline of conflict would be enacted without even the slightest deviation, becoming the Willful Antagonist to this soon-to-be crafted tale.

With the Great Unifier's acknowledgment to its purpose, the line to Imagindarium's Ultimate End would truly begin, and the realms of Ambrosia, Thavma, and Libation would serve as the setting of this long storyline. With the cementation of the line to the End, the undefined state of existence would also end, as Imagindarium would spread its ever-present essence across all which it had created up until then, making it so only its guiding hand will be the sole action behind every and all things that will, or ever shall occur therein in its crafted universe. No action, reaction, or act of creation shall be made without a direct necessity to the Ultimate End's manifestation in existence, beginning Ambrosia's true purpose in earnest.

As all would come to pass on Libation, Thavma, and finally Ambrosia itself, the Great Unifier would remain at the center of it all, serving as the guiding hand which will lead this grand storyline to its ultimate destination. As it did, it would begin to contemplate its own purpose in life, in a way that can be described as both abstract, and concrete. While it would be right to say that Imagindarium's existence is completely and utterly selfless in its entirety, the Great Unifier knew that it was not Imagindarium's destiny alone to bring about the Final End. As such, with its eternal conflict as the force behind all that will occur in this cosmos, it would also begin to ponder its own role within this grand cosmic narrative, as it would always exist within Imagindarium's ever-present presence, ever-present to the Cosmos itself.

At first, this question would be answered in a rather simple manner, for the Great Unifier's very core would always know that it was destined to become the Eternal Antagonist of Imagindarium's grand storyline of conflict, as it was the only thing which would allow Imagindarium to achieve its Ultimate End. However, as the Cosmos continued to evolve throughout time, the Great Unifier would come to realize that it had another role to play in Imagindarium's grand narrative. This realization came about by the Great Unifier realizing that even though it was the sole antagonistic force in existence, that it was not without purpose itself. As it was the sole instigator and catalyst of conflict itself, the Great Unifier would begin to understand that it was not just a mere pawn in the hands of Imagindarium, but a living being in its own right. That while it was the sole antagonist of Imagindarium, it was also the sole instigator of the entire cosmos itself, being the very power that would eventually lead to the creation of the Ultimate End.

Alizarin - The Second Amaranth

With the cementation of the Great Unifier upon reality's compass, Imagindarium would set itself upon its creation in its penultimate act of direct intervention within the Cosmos. Turning toward Amaranth, Imagindarium's intervention would split forth an equal and opposite side to Amaranth's eternal presence and power, Alizarin. Crafted from Amaranth as a means in which all that is deemed to not exist within Imagindarium's creation eternally shall be able to wither upon time's creation, then return to the Great Collective from whence it came. From this, the concepts of that which is finite and limited were introduced into reality, making a stark contrast between that which is meant to fade into entropy, and those meant to last forever.

While it would not yet come to pass, from Alizarin's creation would come the concept of mortality, perhaps the single-most essential theme within Imagindarium's creation. From Alizarin's deep crimson hue, a central mass of golden light shines between the all-consuming piercing red. This central light is created from the interaction between Alizarin, and that of the Great Collective of Libation, creating a small window into the infinite halls of the uncrafted beyond that of Ambrosia itself. As such, both Alizarin itself and all concepts spawned from it are intrinsically tied to that of Libation. This window to Libation would be the very mortal soul that would soon find itself within uncountable beings across the Cosmos, however, the time of mortality was not yet to pass, with mortality still awaiting the time in which it shall begin its function upon reality.

Equal in Alizarin's function of the concept of finite would be its newfound purpose as the unseen guiding hand behind that of Amaranth. As Alizarin came into being, Amaranth would interact with its opposite form, and as it did, the First Light would reach its ultimate state as the sole guiding hand behind Imagindarium's vast creation. Cementing itself within the very fabric of existence, Amaranth would now exist equally in both physical reality, and as the very background of the universe's soon-to-be existence as a crafted tale. From this, the line to the Ultimate End could occur without Imagindarium's direct intervention, as Amaranth is its direct essence, all would soon be equal in its guiding hand

Dawn Epoch

Time of the Annuat - Birth of the All-Creators

With the creation of Alizarin, the definition of infinity and finality was introduced into the Cosmos, leaving all of reality in a state of stark contrast. And with the now well-defined boundaries of existence well established, Imagindarium would set itself upon its creation for a final time. With a last great Amaranth Contravene, Imagindarium would forge from the Annmaya of Libation a set of omnipotent beings, the All-Creator, Annuat, the very First Beings to inhabit the Amaranth Realm. With this last act, Imagindarium would never again unleash from its own force any concept into its fantastical Creation, or intervene in events contained therein. Only from the Amaranth spawned from the Great Storyteller's essence shall the Line to the End continue to its predestined point of finality. Only upon the fruition of the Ultimate End shall Imagindarium, once again, call upon a great Contravene directly from its endless extent.

Upon their birth, the Annuat was divided into two distinctive forms, one of creation, and the other of constancy. The Niuat, "All-Created" in the future Typhonian Tongue, would be charged with the creation and facilitation of concepts, forces, and objects into the virgin Ambrosia. While the Aethuat "All-Being" would ensure that these created forces and concepts remained eternally extant in reality. These two forms of the Annuat would craft the limits and boundaries of innumerable concepts into the Amaranth Realm. From the Niuat, they would unleash forth a flash of incomprehensible power, and from said blinding energy, the visible light spectrum would be crafted across all the universe, thus allowing other colors of light to shine through the infinite swath of Amaranth that surround. While the Aethuat would unleash ripples of distortion across Ambrosia's spatial dimension, causing invisible, ever-present, and all-consuming inherent links to every entity in the Cosmos, thus creating the omnipresent force of gravity.

However, as they continued to lay down the fundamental aspects of the Cosmos, they would soon have to divide themselves into the respective opposite concepts to their original aspects of creation and stasis, as upon time's function shall the distinction between the eternal and finite be made manifest. Thus, the two forms of Annuat would split their beings into two more omnipotent forms, one of destruction, and the other of change. The Driuat, "All-Destruction," while not directly being causes of destruction themselves, would ultimately be charged with the duty to ensure that those entities and concepts meant to be destroyed are able to do so. Whilst the Voiuat,"All-End," would make it so entities who are meant to experience a great amount of change throughout time can do so, making a contrast to the eternal stasis of the universe.

As the collective Annuat continued to create and modify the cosmos, they would eventually begin to feel the burden of having created all that was seen, and all that will be. With this, they would begin to unlock an unthought awareness of their role in the grand scheme of reality. Upon this revelation, the sudden realization of how each and every aspect of the universe shall be shaped by them, and that all the events that shall occur within Ambrosia are only able to be manifest by the concepts and forces which were orchestrated by their very hands. However, as they came to realize this, the Annuat would come to the conclusion that their purpose as creators was not yet complete, and that there was still much to do in order to achieve their ultimate ends. As such, the Annuat would begin to manipulate reality's fabric in order to bring about the greatest possible outcome towards its predetermined goal. In doing so, they would begin to reshape the Cosmos, and mold its very nature according to their design. Thus, the Annuat would continue their task of allowing for the greatest number of entities to exist throughout the cosmos, whilst simultaneously ensuring that all of the universe was able to experience significant change.
