Ildurata

"Why do this for me? Why do this for the others? Are you not the embodiment every way to end a life?"
"You should know that life and death is malleable, all the more so when you have met my attendants. Just because something has ended, does not mean something new cannot grow in its place; be that a seed from the original, or something entirely separate."
"I thought there wasn't enough left to recover who I was."
"There wasn't. We simply pieced together what was left of your memories. The old Akkala was long dead when your insensate Void Core drifted to my shores. The one standing here now is an inheritor of their memories. For those like you, my abode is not a burial ground. It is simply a rest stop, or a new beginning. A place from which you'll embark on your journey, old or new."
Ildurata is a being at the centre of the Liminal Gap. Known as the ruler of a Pool of Possibility known as The Rest, Illdurata is a similar being to the Silence, embodying death and erasure. 
== Description ==
"They say there is peace at the centre of the Gap. A single island of serenity in the midst of a sea of madness." 
"Is there? Have you seen it?" 
"No. But I have met those who have. Travellers brave or foolhardy enough to plunge deep into those labyrinths for their ambitions. It's a sanctuary where one can rest before heading back to the fray." 
Illdurata is an intelligent metaphysical force that currently resides at the centre of the Liminal Gap. She manifests an avatar within The Rest to communicate with the inhabitants that call her realm their home. The Rest acts as a place of rebirth and reincarnation for Transcends and Shardbearers; the blank Void Cores and Silent Souls of those who suffered death of personality have their minds re-developed. Through Illdurata's power, the Rest draws in drifting blank Void Cores and Silent Souls within the Liminal Gap, snatching them before they can fall into the grasp of Tor fragments and Astratoteles 
She is attended by Exalts who bear the Mantle of Death's Defeat, whose abilities allow them to bring those without a form of absolute immortality into her realm. Those entering her domain must possess an absolute form of immortality, like that of Transcends, Shardbearers or Elixir Immortals, or be under the protection of one of her Exalted attendants, as otherwise they will be erased from existence. 
== History ==
"I was made as weapon, one to purge the rest of existence for my creators." 
"Did they fail?"
"Hardly. They were successful. Too successful."
"There are no traces left. Every reality and timeline I searched, nothing remained except emptiness. Simple destruction isn't enough to do that. They were-"
"They were unmade, yes. In an infinity of realities, in an infinity of timelines, all life simply ceased. The slate wiped so thoroughly they never existed at all."
"What were they like?"
"They were beautiful. It was life in all its wonderful forms. Creatures of baryonic matter, exotic fauna from psychic dimensions and even stranger still. All of that gone, thanks to the paranoia of a select few."
"Weren't there Transcended here during your awakening? What of them?"
"Yes. All of them left. No one wishes to live in barren waste where nothing can be built nor grown."
According to Ildurata's own testimonies, she was an artificial being created by a long extinct multiversal civilisation as a superweapon. Her creation was a rushed affair, her creators having to accelerate the process under pressure from multiple peer polities waging war against them. Her rushed creation saw dire consequences for her creators; Ildurata's first awakening after she was completed caused the complete destruction of all non-Transcend acausal entities and retroactive erasure of all Bound beings in her Pool of Possibility. Effects were even more cataclysmic beyond The Rest, as her power unmade the realities and Pools of Possibility that surrounded her own. The small number of Transcended civilisations living in The Rest and the former Pools of Possibility in its vicinity quickly left, either bereft of a home or having little desire to remain in such dead and barren realities. 
After her activation, Ildurata went into a deep slumber for an unknown period. When the Weave had expanded to near the borders of her Pool of Possibility, she was detected but left undisturbed, being forewarned by the Transcended survivors of her activation. This state of affairs lasted until the Collapse, when the disturbance of Tor roused her. 
Ildurata was awoken from her slumber when the Weave was shattered by Adremer Tor. Tor fragments unfortuate enough to wander into her domain were instantly unmade, and Transcends and Shardbearers in the Gap who noticed this void without Tor rushed to it for safety. Among these were a large number of Lifebringers, Exalts who bore the Mantle of Death's Defeat. The arrival of beings who were not only immune to her abilities but could counter them garnered her interest and thus she set out to converse with them. She asked questions on realities outside of her Pool of Possibility, to the current state of affairs of the outside and the reasons for them to be in her abode. Those who escaped to her domain explained to her that they were refugees, fleeing from a horror that her powers repelled. They asked her questions in turn, such as the nature of her existence, why her Pool of Possibility held no trace of any life and requested to be able to stay in her Pool of Possibility. Ildurata allowed the refugees to remain in her domain, under one condition; the restoration of the life erased by her birth. The Lifebringers obliged, bringing back all those unmade by her birth, save for her creators. Illdurata had chosen not to have her creators brought back, in order to prevent any conflicts from arising out of their previous actions. 
After the Scattering had ended, those within the Weave Remnant and beyond had noticed Illdurata's awakening within the centre of the Liminal Gap. A convoy was eventually organised for diplomats from the Remnant, Warring Throne, Undari and Selemon whom wished to ascertain the intentions of the Rest's ruler. The Warring Throne in particular sent one of their eldest Sovereigns as an ambassador.
