Spirits

"Order", for the lack of a better word, is subjectively impossible when peering into the Lux Aeterna. A realm with sights and sounds beyond greater Cosmoria, it was thought the birthplace of Thaumaturgy was but a hovel filled with mayhem. As research of Cosmoria progressed, the perspective of the Aeterna changed. Ironically, science and archaeology uncovered discoveries so exotic that they might as well be real mythology. One such discovery was the Aeternaborne, beings of legend who thrive to spite their home environment.

Known for their Thaumic potential, Aeternaborne are beings of unbridled capability. They may be weavers of Thaumaturgy and conquerors of the Aeterna's mystic winds. Most Aeternaborne are actually fledglings however, Cores at the brink of life and death. Only the greatest, most exclusive Aeternaborne are truly capable of harnessing their power. These are the individuals who shape Cosmoria as it is known.

Aeternaborne are not a new phenomena. The High Warlock, a creature far beyond all future Aeternaborne, erupted from the Pylon of a hapless Magi some 2.1 billion years ago. It is by far the most impactful in all history, holding the might to devour Cosmoria's primordial satellites. For millions of years it prowled, sucking the life of dozens of stars before nestling itself in Sinister, the final satellite.

Millions upon millions of years slipped by, with not a single Aeternaborne rising from the clouds of chaos. It was only until an outside force, Father Zaphenim, woke from his slumber did the Aeterna see activity. Upon merging his domain, Zaphenim became one with the realm of magic. As such, he harnessed a portion of the Aeterna's full potential, gaining the power to manipulate it as he saw fit. His most major contribution was creating the "Cores", the staple for today's Aeternaborne.

From there, Aeternaborne became infinitely more common. Many Cores gravitated to one another and merged, acting like bundles of neurons within a brain. Some formed alive and aware entities, Core Spirits. These phantoms phased out of the Aeterna, wandering Cosmoria. Others were forcefully combined by Zaphenim, spinning and magnificent storms as hyper-intelligent beasts of nature formed from his hand. These would become the future Angels.
