Xechoristós

## Overview

Xechoristós is a universe on a branch of the Oblivion tree parallel to Hell, just as Felicinarion is to the Aeonic Universe. Visually, it is an infinite astroroid field with air.

## Physics

Much like Hell, Xechoristós follows a Lock and Key law. It is functionally identical to that in Hell, with an appropriate key needed to break a certain lock.

Lemo is naturally a liquid with an even higher surface tension than water in the Aeonic Universe. Lemo is the greatest lock, although without mixing it with another material it has no keys. That means it is nigh unbreakable, but can't break anything else.

The Godstones are a set of gemstones that are extremely confusing. Each stone is such an intricate set of locks that the only attempt to rearrange them with the Crift to date resulted in a massive explosion, wiping out tens of millions in an instant. This is quite terrifying, as the average population density is about 0.004 per cubic kilometer. Godstones grant a specific ability or power unique to the individual touching it. No one really knows how. The ability or power disappears if contact with the Godstone is lost.

### Crift

Crift is a unique spell that rearranges locks. This can be used to chance what substance something is, as well as change its state of matter. It is a possibility that it works on matter from Hell as well, including Violet Glass. The Crift can be used on Lemo to create a substance known as Teleran’s Ice.

### Gravity

Unlike most dimensions, Xechoristós has no force of gravity, nor an equivalent. This causes the unusual terrain. Liquids with low surface tension eventually become an extremely fine mist, and the gases all try to reach equilibrium with each other. Chunks of solid drift at random, sometimes being shattered by a collision with the wrong material.

## Inhabitants

The Orchestral Empire, despite being infinitely vast, contains a single intelligent species, the Technitós, with a clear hierarchy amongst the entire race. This one species for reasons that aren’t entirely clear as of yet.

### Animals

All animals have developed a skin with massive amounts of backwards friction, very similarly to shark skin. This aids in moving around in the atmosphere that is their reality. Species generally move by corkscrewing like lampreys, swimming somewhat similarly to fish, or jet propulsion like cephalopods. Those that “swim” through the air have much more laterally centered fins to control direction

### Plants

Plant life rarely form seeds, as the physics are much more favorable to a species that doesn't move itself reproducing by fission. Seeds have no assured way to ever contact soil, whereas surrounding the soil and breaking when the species is torn results in a higher survival rate. There are still plants that do, they are simply extremely rare.

### Technitós

The Technitós are the only intelligent species in the entire universe. They have a government class system involving an Emperor. They mostly have a humanoid form (some exceptions), leading one to believe that they did not develop through evolutionary means. They all look somewhat smooth and robotic albeit having an organic being. No one knows how, or even if, they reproduce. More just show up sometimes.

It is strictly forbidden that any Technitós but the Emperor speak to anyone outside the dimension.The classes are listed below.

#### Koinós

Koinós are the commoner Technitós, and handle the farming, maintenance, sorting, delivery, and other aspects of life that require little physical or mental activity. They account for approximately 45% of the population.

#### Riph

Riph are the knowledgeable members of the Technitós race, serving as scientists, historians, mathematicians, and other tasks involving high mental activity. They are not, however, the ruling class. They account for approximately 20% of the population.

#### Dubuin

Dubuin are the most physically impressive members of the Technitós race, and are the manual laborers, including military, construction, and factory workers. They are highly loyal to their master, and exhibit no desire for freedom. They account for approximately 34% of the population.

#### Vasilikós

Vasilikós are the ruling class, and rely on the Dubuin remain in power, as their extreme strength and larger size is enough to end any rebellion. The Vasilikós inspire much loyalty within the Dubuin. They are as intelligent as the Riph, but manage the political affairs as opposed to knowledgeable affairs. The Vasilikós closest to the Emperor receive Godstones. They account for approximately 1% of the population

#### Emperor

The Emperor is the head of all affairs, and is a Vasilikós, while also being elected by the Vasilikós. By ancient laws, any Godstones discovered belong to the Emperor, to do with as they please, and are placed within a vault.

## Orchistikós

Orchistikós is the city of the Technitós, which they are always expanding. They have many cables linking the chunks together, and in many cases fuse them together entirely with a material similar to concrete to make a larger chunk. Most of the important buildings are made of Teleran's Ice, though they don’t know where it comes from.

## Significant Technitós

### Desiran

Desiran is the Emperor of the Technitós. His appointing to Emperor status is considered the turning point in the war with [REDACTED] due to his pathological lack of ambitions and ability to think quick. His Godstone denies anyone the choice to lie around him.

### Asmodeus

Asmodeus was one of the Vasilikós at one time before she talked to Darkness and made friends with him. She was exiled for this. She then flew off to Hell where she accidentally killed one of the Seven Devils. She is currently locked up in Hell’s deepest known chambers.
Her Godstone ability is to get inside the heads of those around her and read their thoughts. She can’t turn this off. Asmodeus was generally the most powerful Vasilikós, being well versed in most magical practices such as healing and the changing of the states of matter.

### Antonia

Antonia is the second highest ranking Vasilikós and the most magically skilled Technitós after Asmodeus (who is exiled). Albeit being extremely flexible in the field of magic, they have lowered confidence and are generally apologetic to other Vasilikós. However, they do have extremely sadistic subconscious desires that they do not fully understand yet, and as such, Asmodeus was always cautious of them. Their Godstone ability is to absorb magic, sometimes being used as a shield in dire situations.

### Mikhos

Mikhos is the highest ranking Vasilikós and is set to become Emperor should Desiran die. He is well versed in the art of battle and strategizing. He is not very adept at using magic and makes up for that loss with enormous physical strength. He does not normally think for just his own goals. His Godstone ability is to summon lightning at whim from any direction. His name means "who is like god."
