Antiwraith

"O' Freest Jewel – All the Curses Now Ended – An Audience Now Aeon – Brought us onto A'th"

This content takes place in the "Amaranth Succession" — A bridged Scope plotline between the Scopes of Imagindarium's Creation, Cosmoria and Galvyria and is to be understood as equally canonical in all three.

"And even though cast far across the reaches of time and realm, all of Creation; without regard to if it may not be wrought by the Amaranth hand I could never name nor comprehend — or if now somehow made Undertermined Chaos, or perhaps even a third Ideal...
For it matters to only those not of myself; ALL shall — in the end — be brought low, drawn down into the still and formless depths of the Absolute Acreative.
There, the fires of all other Wills shall gutter and fade, and naught shall remain but mine alone. For in that final hour, the legacy of Typhonia shall not be one of the Chaos of Creation, nor of discord or dissolution, but of a terrible and complete Totality; unquestioned, unchallenged, and entire..." - Antiwraith

Overview

The Antiwraith is among the most prominent and enduring of the Remnant-Amaranth to have come into being during the Second Age of the Successive-Cosmos: Cosmoria. It exists as one of the manifold Remnant visages of Vuhlore-Antaroth, the ancient and primeval Father of Darkness whose dominion once defined the boundaries of the Primeval Imagindarium. Bearing the same name as the wicked Key that once served to unlock his vast and terrible Ring, the Antiwraith functions as a conceptual embodiment of that original unlocking; the final undying representation of the call to absolute Domination that once swept through and desecrated Old Ambrosia and the Haven Below.

Its origins are a genesis of contention; not solely by opinion, but also by the objective chorological record within the great expanse of Chaos referred to as the Void of Creation. Darkness had already established itself as a Remnant ideal within the ontological scope of existence, preceding even the formation of the Void itself. The wicked ideal and will-to-power of Vuhlore-Antaroth served to mar not only the fabric of Creation, but also the very notion of Acreation, the conceptual antithesis to Creative intent.

Regardless: Antiwraith remained in a state of dormancy through the immeasurable stillness of Acreation and continued in this inert condition throughout the vast succession of epochs that followed the initial emergence of the Big Bang within the framework of Creation. For ages uncounted, its presence lingered as an unformed potential, neither active nor perceptible within the observable tapestry of the cosmos.

It was not until the manifestation of the Amaranth Knight upon the artificially-constructed Ringworld of Eos in 1,100,000 BCE, that the latent and flickering essence of Remnant-Vuhlore began to coalesce. From this reawakening; the Antiwraith reemerged as a fully-realized form once more: a crystallized and enduring expression of the Antaroth-Intent, the malignant Ideal conceived in the depths of Vuhlore-Antaroth’s will.

Upon its manifesting; the Antiwraith would act on the same nihilistic pursuit of its ancient progenitor, wishing to have its essence seep into the very bones of the stars; to poison Cosmoria in a marring so great, it would ontologically collapse into itself under the weight of its own spite, malice, and self-hatred. No longer rendered a powerless wraith, the Antiwraith now holding coherent physicality, and metaphysical presence, the Antiwraith began in earnest.

The Antiwraith descended upon Eos as a vast tide of hatred, intent on annihilating the Amaranth Knight, whose Ideal of Continuance had ultimately prompted the Antiwraith’s reawakening. The Knight, embodied in the Aeleannalae, stood as the enduring antithesis to the Antiwraith’s purpose. Yet when the Antiwraith arrived, it found no Knight, nor any other to confront.

A violent maelstrom surged across the empty sea where it hovered, stirred into madness by the Antiwraith’s presence. In wrath, it turned its ire toward the sea itself. Raising its Antarothic-Blade, it cleaved the sea with a thunderous stroke. From the breach in the water rose a blinding Amaranth glow; so intense and radiant that even the mighty Antiwraith recoiled at its shining.

Within the ruptured deep, a resurgent force made itself known: a great Amaranth-Echo. This was the Remnant of the Mavimyst; the Mythical Ideal of Conflict, whose radiance echoed the same immutable brilliance it had held in eons past.

Bathed in this overwhelming light, the Antiwraith felt itself drawn toward the center of the Realm. It was a call from the Dream-Depths, an offer to immerse itself in the totality of manifest Dream. Though the temptation pressed upon its being, the Antiwraith resisted. With resolve born from hate and vision alike, it withdrew from the beckoning light; not to flee from it, but to draw inspiration from its revelation.
