Clayverse

**Clayverse** also known as **Clayknead Universe** is a franchise whose projects take place in one common universe with some branches. Also, the term Clayverse denotes a common multiverse in which the events of all projects take place.

### Founders and Heralds

The Multiverse was designed by the Founders - the most ancient cosmic entities. All components of the multiverse, including various kinds of temporal flows, dimensions and void filling, are designed to create a huge amount of beneficial energy that the Founders feed on. Upon the expiration of all useful intertemporal-spatial resources, the satiated Founders release all their accumulated energy to restart the entire Multiverse in order to start their feeding again. Thus, the multiverse lives according to the principle of cyclicity. The beginning of a new cycle starts by the Big Bang, which compresses all alternative universes, forms a completely new one, and then breaks, copying each other.

In order to support the generation of the necessary nutrient resources, the Founders created the so-called Heralds, a detachment of various beings who are in charge of the formation and maintenance of life in the Multiverse. The Herald of Creation is selected from one race, which manages to move into a new cycle of the universe, so that there it will create new races from the available materials. The Herald of Time is chosen from among the most worthy and capable representatives of the beings created by the Herald of Creation to close the loop of time and direct events in the most favorable direction for the distant future. Three more heralds are located in the so-called Insiderealm: the Herald of Life, the Herald of Death and the Herald of Correction. All three work together to sort the souls of the dead, correct those who go against the global plans, reprogram them, and then process their souls into new ones and send them back to the Outerrealm. There is also the enigmatic Herald of Control, whose job it is to oversee the formation of new universes and destroy those that are anomalous, i.e. do not replicate the foundation of the Prime Universe. Presumably, he resides with the Founders themselves in the Founderrealm.

There are two more heralds: the Herald of Absorption, unlike the others, is not a living being, but an interdimensional void, where all excess energy from the entire Multiverse is collected, including destroyed or anomalous realities. Another herald, the Herald of Destruction, exists to motivate the Herald of Creation, by being the biggest threat to the Multiverse that constantly needs to be contained, and unlike the others, the Herald of Destruction title can move from one creature to another within the same cycle.

In 24th Cycle of Multiverse, the respective roles were assumed by Clayknead (Creation), Timelock (Time), Mistress Lifefa (Life), Grimmika (Death), Netherlord (Correction), unknown entity (Control), Dunes of Madness (Absorption), En'Erch (Destruction).
