Qlipoth

Qlipoth is an Aeon representing the path of Preservation and one of the oldest known Aeons. The Amber Lord is known for THEIR indifference. THEY usually only share THEIR power with zealots, for instance, the Interastral Peace Corporation.Parlor Car Dialogue: Himeko
==Description==
==Profile==
Qlipoth strives to isolate contact between planets. The celestial-sized structures THEY'VE built — the Subspace Crystalline Barrier — separates and protects the living worlds from being devoured by their enemy. The nine initial Xianzhou ships witnessed the barrier separating the world from the endless void: the Echidna Skywall.
Despite being the main faction aligned with the Amber Lord, the IPC goes against the desires of the Aeon, facilitating civilized trade and contact between the stars. No remonstration or censure has been directed towards them because of this.
There is a theory called "Catastrophe Theory" that states that when the hammer swings and a new amber era begins, a catastrophy is imminent.
Qlipoth is known to use THEIR hammer to construct various items, and every time THEY swing THEIR hammer down, a new Amber Era is heralded. However, the frequency of which THEY swing THEIR hammer greatly varies, with one swing equating between 76 and 240 Trailblaze Years.
===Appearance===
Qlipoth is a legless golem littered with cracks, composed of an unknown type of rock and amber. Both of THEIR hands have four fingers, and the arms are connected to the torso by two bright yellow stars. The torso is composed of a larger star with a much darker orange color which is covered by rocks, and the head is composed of another star, which possesses a halo of inner and outer ring of broken rocks.
==History==
===Origin===
Estimated around 2158 Amber Eras ago, Qlipoth ascended to become the Aeon of The Preservation during the Dusk Wars, pledging to construct walls tirelessly to defend the universe against the Leviathans.
===Swarm Disaster===
During the Swarm Disaster, Ena the Order sent an invitation to The Preservation, as THEY thought Qlipoth held great responsibility for the actions of the Voracity and the Propagation as the one who controls the will of transmutation. An agreement was reached wherein Qlipoth promised to aid the Aeons against Tayzzyronth and The Swarm, while the contents on Ena’s part of the deal remains unknown — though presumably related to Oroboros.
With the same hammer THEY use for construction, THEY began to dilute Tayzzyronth's form, as Aha and Xipe watched. As Qlipoth's rage grew, the suns in the area began to grow abnormally in numbers. Within each swing, Qlipoth stripped THEM of their broken shell, body, and heart as THEIR blood and primordial eggs spilled all over the ground, further diluting THEIR power. After being reduced to fragments, Qlipoth sealed Tayzzyronth remains into separate pieces of amber.
===Xianzhou Alliance===
The IPC contacted the Xianzhou Alliance in the first millennium of the Alliance's voyage. The IPC's Preservation beliefs gradually influenced the Xianzhou people, who gave Qlipoth the title of "Firmamend Arbiter." Qlipoth, along with Lan the Reignbow Arbiter, are the only two Aeons to be considered "Arbiters," who determine mortal births and deaths and are connected to the rise and fall of civilizations. After Yaoshi was disavowed by the Xianzhou and came to be known as the Plagues Author, many of Xianzhou's peoples decided to worship Qlipoth, forming the Firmamend Sect.
During the 600 years of the Crisis of Belief, the Firmamend Arbiter was the pillar of the Xianzhou Alliance's beliefs. Although Xianzhou people's faiths have changed drastically by the present, traces of the Firmamend Arbiter can still be seen in the many names of places and buildings leftover from that bygone era.
Although the Firmamend Arbiter was once the centerpiece of faith among the intellectuals and merchants, Qlipoth was one typically indifferent to the lives of mortals. Compared to THEIR worldview, the people of Xianzhou leaned more toward pragmatism. Therefore, diverse choices of new beliefs bloomed. After the birth of a new Aeon Lan, the Reignbow Sect transformed into a popular sect that could compete with the Firmamend Sect almost overnight. In Year 4100 Star Calendar, the Reignbow Arbiter eventually became the undisputed main Aeon of the Xianzhou Alliance.
===Present===
During the battle of Cocolia, Mother of Deception, when the Trailblazer drew Alisa Rand's Lance, Qlipoth gazed at the Trailblazer and swung THEIR hammer, marking the start of 2158 AE.Parlor Car: IPC Broadcast #1 Thus, the Trailblazer acquired the Path of Preservation and managed to defeat Cocolia.

...Qlipoth the Preservation is the oldest known Aeon in the universe alongside Oroboros the Voracity. I was once very interested in Qlipoth, as the first two centuries in the Amber Era were almost completely blank. What creature is this giant rock/amber? Where did THEY come from? How did THEY become an Aeon? And why are THEY tirelessly making a wall? There are many questions surrounding THEM, but the answers are nowhere to be found. The IPC is doing too good of a job keeping Qlipoth's information a secret. These people regard the Amber Lord as the one true god and allow not even the smallest transgression towards the Aeon. I didn't get any useful information out of the IPC. In contrast, the Intelligentsia Guild has a lot less respect for the Preservation...

...I don't respect the Intelligentsia Guild, but I like them. They are also followers of Erudition but have none of the arrogance and temper of the Genius Society members. They are also down-to-earth and answer honestly when asked. According to Cleo the editor, the period between AE 0 and 180 was not as much a blank as the IPC had claimed. Many archeological discoveries proved that Leviathans were still active in the early days after the Preservation ascended, which goes against the IPC's official line that "the Dusk Wars ended with the birth of the Amber Lord." There is even a hypothesis that other Aeons already existed before Qlipoth did... I can tell that the IPC won't fund such research from a mile off. Using threats to withdraw funding, the IPC coerced the Astral Ecology School to give up on these archeological projects, and that's why I'm no longer interested in Qlipoth. The IPC is just too annoying...

...I'm curious. How did the Architects receive inspiration from their Aeon in advance to build the towering walls to resist enemies from the outside? After all, Qlipoth cares little for mortals, and observing living beings is a behavior more familiar to Ena the Order. I suppose it makes sense for these two Aeons to have communal responsibilities. After all, there is some overlap between Preservation and Order. To tell the truth, I really admire Ena. THEY exude the glory of the old empires like majestic marble, which is also somewhat similar to Qlipoth — THEY both feel similar to protector gods, albeit not entirely the same. Anyway, the fall of Tayzzyronth seems to be directly linked to the Preservation. I think only that giant hammer wrapped in divine power can penetrate the body of another god. It's just that there's so much more to history than that. I'm really struggling to ascertain the way Aeons fight...
