Mercurial Age

This Age formally began with the Kindling of the Stars. To interdimensional entities and forces, the Stars function as gates to and from their Aitherian realms. While they may only be visible within the minds of conscious beings, the effect they’ve had on this Universe has reached into every fiber of existence, both conscious and dumb, living and inanimate.

The foreign gods and forces of Aitheria molded the Four Worlds into grand achievements of creative power, the majestic embodiments of confluent forces. Basic cells formed in the shallow waters of the 1st Moon, bringing forth the common ancestors of all biological life. Great feats of material and tectonic brilliance were wrought upon the 2nd Moon, forging it into an ever-changing geological work of art. The 3rd Moon’s history is not well-remembered, but *something* had to have happened there. The Ur-Planet was the gods’ seat in this reality, where their greatest wonders.

Clive Schill

## Personality

Clive believes himself to be more important than he actually is. In the finale episode of the first season, Bryony remarks on this, saying Clive thinks he's "top bollock" when he is actually, in her own words, "the shovel bit of the shovel".

He prides himself on his ability to come up with creative insults and threats, using them on nearly every other character, but especially Gordon.

## History

### Season 1

Throughout the main section of Season 1, Clive is referred to as "the man of the hour" from the R&D department of Overhead, a "golden boy" per se. Multiple characters acknowledge this, including Warren himself. He is also the person Warren calls when inquiring about the Red Valley Seed Vault in the very beginning. During the call, when Warren presses further on the topic of cryonics, cryogenics, etc., Clive pretends to not be aware of what cryonics even is, and abruptly hangs up on Warren after he asks Clive if he "knows anyone working in cryonics".

In the last moments of the third episode, "The Picnic", Clive visits Gordon and tells him to stop talking to Warren, divulging sensitive information about Warren, such as his mental health status and other issues Warren is struggling with. Clive frames the investigation into Red Valley that Gordon and Warren are conducting as a negative influence on Warren's mental health.

The season finale, "Do You Want To Continue", reveals Clive's true nature and occupation: a researcher at the Red Valley Facility working under Bryony Halbech. He greets Warren and Gordon when they break into the facility, and reveals that Warren is the first person to survive hypersleep, for some unknown reason. Following this revelation, Clive sits with Warren in an interrogation room and begins to debrief him. This quickly devolves into verbal abuse and humiliation, however, which ultimately ends with Warren, in a fit of rage, physically assaulting Clive. Clive justifies the verbal abuse by saying that the research team needs to know if a personality change, like the one that occurred with Warren, is a common side-effect of the cryonic process. His last remarks of the season are focused on threatening Gordon into either joining them at Red Valley or dying like the people before him.

Red Valley

**Red Valley** is a mystery audio-drama created by **Orpheus Studio Productions**, which explores the possibilities of science as the two main characters embark on a journey to uncover the hidden truth of 'Red Valley'. The Red Valley podcast is told through fictional recordings taken on Dictaphones, and each episode ranges from 11-40 minutes, averaging 21 minutes throughout all 19 episodes.

As of current, Red Valley consists of two main seasons, alongside the mini-series '**While You Were Hypersleeping**'. However, the creators of Red Valley have discussed a third season which is in the making and to be the final season of Red Valley.

## Summary

**Red Valley** begins following Warren Godby, a new employee at the company Overhead, as he is led on a wild goose chase to find a seemingly non-existent seed vault. However, all is not as it seems with this mysterious facility, and Warren comes to know this all too well when he meets archivist Gordon Porlock, who has been working to expose all that goes on at Red Valley. From here, Warren is introduced to the world of cryonic preservation, listening to tapes of the events that transpired at this facility, given to him by his colleague, Gordon, before the two of them eventually set out on their journey to discover the truth of Red Valley for themselves, travelling to Glencoe, Scotland where the seed vault is based.

However, much more lies beyond the surface, both literally and figuratively, as Gordon and Warren find what they have been looking for, just past the Beinn Bagg mountain. As they uncover one truth, a hundred more reveal themselves, and our main characters are led to face the harsh reality of what truly happened in Red Valley, and the lies that have followed since.

Filamency

Filamency is one of the four magic systems that is used within the Project, and the one that mortals are most likely to practice. It is the most tangible magic system of the four, and involves the use of one-dimensional threads of energy, called Filaments.

Filaments are 1-dimensional strands of concentrated arcane energy. They are produced naturally from the nascent spirituopathic auras of any sentient being, and can exist at varying lengths and vibrational frequencies. Without intervention by magic-users (called Filamencers), these threads would fly off into the Void harmlessly. While naturally undetectable by all conventional means, they can be manipulated to produce effects which can be detected.

What is most confusing, but nonetheless vital to understand, is that they don’t actually exist. [You might want to hunker down for this.] Filaments are psychic manifestations of supernatural forces which physical minds can only perceive through representative abstractions. The forces at play within even a single Filament have the potential to undo a mind from the inside out if they’re not protected. So instead, the brain (or any equivalent thinky organ) perceives them to be some kind of string, or string-like.

### Runes

Runes, also known as Filamentic Systems or Spells, are patterns and combinations which Filaments can be arranged in to produce a specialized effect. The simplest Rune can be as small as two Filaments, while the most complex super-systems can be composed of billions of individual Filaments.

### Filamencers

#### Concertation

Because Filaments are literally impossible to intellectually understand (see above), the ability to harness or control them can not simply be learned, no matter how one may try. Prospective Filamencers have to be initiated by another Filamencer through a process known as Filamentic Concertation.

This ritual can take on a wide variety of forms depending on the preference of the Sponsor and the actual resonance being conveyed, but all examples have certain commonalities.

A Filamentic Circle, also called a Band, is a group of Filamencers that share a common resonance with or affinity for certain Filament Types and Rune Patterns. In the time of the Mage-Companions (the Golden Age), these were special schools through which one could learn new interpretations of the magic.
Bryony Halbech

## Personality

Bryony takes herself and her work very seriously. She dedicates hours upon hours to her research, going full nights without sleep. Several characters have remarked on her almost robotic nature, which is constantly evident in her actions, such as her willingness to put Warren through severe trauma in order to collect more data, despite the toll it takes on Warren's psyche, and her words, which are always blunt and to the point.

She is, above all else, committed to the work she does, and does not take kindly to any remarks that paint her in a negative light, as she believes that any and all consequences of her actions are excusable by her desire to advance the scientific world. She expresses her stance on death frequently, and in different ways: while she may not necessarily want someone dead, she won't hesitate to kill whoever stands in her way.

## Physical Description

She is described as skinny by Francesca Jones in S2E7.

Aulderopea

* **[Continent of the New World]**

**Aulderopea,** is a continent in the New World. It was originally from **"Planet-Kelpia-LC",** It went through relatively less was, and took the time to grow its resources out. The Continent was colonized at one point by another continent from its own World. Before a series of independence wars broke out. After being transferred into the New World around its own 1800s. Aulderopea, began attempts to match the continents such as Maquasia, and The Americas, one country on the continent resembles Democracy as the USA."

## Location

#### **ENTIREITY of AULDEROPEA:**

* **Aulderopea:** It is a country in Aulderopea, compromising a Federation of 16 States. The Country is the most powerful country in Aulderopea, however it falls below modern-new-world standards. Although the country is highly algiculatural, it has a presidential-system, and a constitution, very similar to the USA.
United States

## United States of America

**National Anthem:** Battle Hymn of the Republic  (Forever Party)

* Federal-presidential-system.
* Constitutional-republic.
* Two-party-system.
* Democratic Party v Republican Party

**The United States of America,** sometimes known as the **(USA),** is a nation in North America. It is the #1 country with the largest GDP, followed by the Frans Empire. The Second Amendment was progressively curtailed after a tiny coup, and the United States entered a "Slow-Dictatorship"; but gun ownership wasn't fully banned in order to prevent a Civil War. It consists of 50 states and a federal district.

Despite its might, the ***US government is somewhat isolationist.*** a name some use for it. The USA is referred to as being a puppet of Frans by the depressed government. Despite having greater strength than Frans.

Sometime during (**New World Time: 1985,** with the Forever-Party established in Full-Control), the US's Official Anthem reverted to become "Battle Hymn of the Republic", which is now its current anthem, there were major protests as people viewed the song as a Communistic-Attempt to change. However, the Propaganda Machine did it work, and the song became viewed just as patriotic as the Old Anthem.

## Military

### **United States Armed Forces**

* **United States Army**
* **United States Navy**
* **United States Airforce**
* **United States Homeland Security and National Guard**

## Territory

US has a very large territory, expanding to the West Coast to the East Coast of the Americas, is owns land in the Caribbean's as well as a "Island called" Protected Island, originally from Paldria \*transferred into Americas, Zone\*. Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Cuba are US Territories, with its newly acquired Greenland being one! Before the transfer it had Hawaii, but it is currently unknown now, because it did not get transferred along with the United States.

### US TERRITORIES:

United States has a various amount of Territories, due to being one of the biggest countries in the NEW WORLD, here is a list of its territories, Some in the Caribbean's, Greenland and a Special Territory."

## Trivia

* The United States of America is not a Democracy.
* It is worth nothing, that the United States flag blue on the flag has become more of a darker-gray, similar to the "Red, White and Black color-scheme. Usually, those colors can be considered a sign of fascism. Colors that the US flag now wields.
Cat in the Hat Presentation (Logos)

## Background

"Cat in the Hat Presentation" was used by Chuck Jones' team at MGM Animation/Visual Arts as a way to open their two Dr. Seuss TV specials; *How the Grinch Stole Christmas!* (1966) and *Horton Hears a Who!* (1970).

## Logo

Description: Depending on the special (dark blue for *Grinch* and light blue for *Horton*), the background is always blue. An orange circle reads "A CAT IN THE HAT PRESENTATION" with the copyright disclaimer for Random House appearing below the word "presentation". On the white circle, the Cat in the Hat raises his eyebrows twice.

Music/Sound Effects: On the 1997 DVD edition of *How the Grinch Stole Christmas!*, the music starts playing. However, on *Horton Hears a Who!*, a trumpet and drumroll fanfare (composed by Eugene Poddany) plays.

Availability: Appeared on the 1997 MGM Home Entertainment DVD and 1999 Warner Home Video VHS releases of *How the Grinch Stole Christmas!*.
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1997 DVD)/Version Differences

**Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!** was released on DVD on November 19, 1997 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Home Entertainment. Despite being released a year after Warner Bros. acquired the pre-1986 MGM library from Turner Entertainment, MGM decided to release the special on home video one last time.

The differences will be explained on this page. *For a larger view on a thumbnail, click on one of them. Best viewed when on desktop mode*.

## Packaging

While the "Grinch" and "Horton" VHS releases are standalone titles, both specials are combined for this DVD. As a result, there are several changes made for the cover to accomodate the disc's total runtime of 53 minutes. *Grinch'*s cover was zoomed in to the left side. The special's standard black-and-green logo was gone --- even removing the "Narrated by Boris Karloff" text. Instead, it became red and green to match the traditional colors of Christmas. A black dropshadow was added to the logo. Meanwhile, *Horton*'s cover was shrinked down and placed on a blue-outlined circle. That special's logo was redrawn from the 1989 VHS cover.

## Visual quality

Both specials have been remastered for this release, which surpasses their 1989 and 1993 VHS releases (screenshots taken from the 1994 documentary "*How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: TNT Special Edition*"). However, the Grinch looked all yellow on the DVD version. Additionally, the DVD crops out some detail on the right side of the screen.

## Audio changes

The audio mix provided for both specials have some odd changes compared to their VHS counterparts. On the 1993 VHS of *Grinch*, when the Cat in the Hat Presentation logo appears, ringing bells are heard four times before abruptly fading in the background music. The DVD restores a missing portion of the soundtrack but removes the bells. Unusually, for this release, the choir heard when the "The End" title fades in is noticeably missing (it was kept on the Spanish audiotrack for some reason, as the dub was created sometime in the late-1960s). The MGM Television logo also differs between both versions as the 1993 VHS's audio mix drains out Leo's roar when the "Welcome Christmas" credits reprise ends. The DVD's audio mix seems to have fixed the issue, which causes the end credits song to fade out before the roar can even be heard.

*Horton* had a unique case of audio mixing between the 1989 VHS and the DVD, where the Cat in the Hat Presentation logo has a piece of music that was missing from the VHS version, then restored for the DVD. The music score was also affected between both versions, as did the song "Be Kind to Your Small Person Friends". The VHS's audio mix had a chorus of men and women singing the song, while the DVD audio lowers the volume for the female singers.

## Other differences

The DVD added the 1997 version of the Turner logo at the end of each special, while the 1993 *Grinch* VHS simply has the original 1987 version of the logo at the beginning. For the Turner logo, its audio is heard at a -4% pitch on *Grinch* and played normally on *Horton*.

Ghosts

**Ghosts** are the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes to realistic, life-like visions, and they are believed to haunt popular locations, objects, or people associated with their life.

## Description

They are spirits derived from the deceased, with translucent bodies and the ability to float and phase through solid objects.

## Abilities

* **Intangibility**: Ghosts are intangible so are able to pass through solid objects, likely because they are energy instead of matter.
* **Flight**: Ghosts are able to fly/float.
* **Portal Opening**: Some ghosts can open portals, or windows, between the Monster and Ghost Worlds, allowing them to see what is going on there or even go through.
* **Immortality**: Like all other dead monsters, ghosts are immortal.
* **Body-Age Imprisonment**: Some ghosts are trapped physically, looking like the age they died at (if they have died and became a ghost).
* **Possession**: These disembodied life forces can enter a physical body to make the matter do its bidding.

## Known Ghosts

* Apparitia Specter (Poltergeist)
* Kumori Shirai (Unknown)
* Mary II (Unknown)

Paldria

* **[Continent of the New World]**

**Paldria,** sometimes referred to as the **Paldria Continent,** is a transferred continent, just like all the other continents in the **New World.** It came originally from a planet called **"Xeon,"** where it co-existed with three other continents.

**The Island marked in Red,** is known as the British Isles, while not a continent, it was a part of "Europe", one of Earth's Continents. It appeared to be completely in order because, throughout its transfer, it oriented itself to follow the same location as it did in "Earth" (the Old World). It became a part of the Paldria Continent Zone, nonetheless, as a result of being in the ocean zone of Paldria. A Sub-Zone.

The most powerful country in Paldria as of now, is the United Kingdom, followed by Ireland and then the Great Kingdom, thew are few other Empires and States in Paldria, however must of them are vassal states to the Great Kingdom. Something which Britain has caught eye of.

**The Militaries and World structure of the People and World of Paldria are mostly resemblant to a Steampunk World - Victorian, except for the British Isles.**

## Location

### Countries in Paldria (Capitals)

*See "Countries in Paldria - Category."*

* **Great Kingdom:** Kingdom is one of the countries in Paldria, it is Second most powerful behind the "UK", and it is the biggest in the continent. Before the Transfer it was a country that was preparing for a war with another country from another continent. Post Transfer, the Great Kingdom managed to recover its economy by moving to a personal-economic system, and invading its neighbors, stealing their wealth. Great Kingdom has bad ties with the United Kingdom, after the Kingdom failed to conquer the UK, and even got its capital destroyed, the Kingdom since then has shifted to upgrading its military technology.
* **Wealflower Kingdom:** WK, is a Kingdom bordering both Major powers, GK and UK. It is a constitutional-monarchy. ALthough its flag makes it seem more agressive than it actually is. The Nation is a passive-state. And is a major economical-player in the Game. It has recently developed its Technology with the help of The Americas, and Maqausias. To catch up on Modern technology.

#### British Isles (Sea of Paldria)

* **United Kingdom:** The UK, is a Kingdom and Monarchy is Paldria. Although not touching Paldria, it sits in the sea Paldria, making it an island-country. It originated from Earth, and was a Great Power, but a Super unlike the USA. however, after it was transferred. It lost a few members of the Royal Family. Due to most of them being in France at the time. Suffering recession and no longer belonging to a Global-Marke, trade collapsed, and people began to starve in Britain. Britain was able to get out of recession after trading with countries in the New World, mostly South America, and had to fight a war against Paldria during the first 2 months of being in the New World. Britain a is a formidable power in the Paldrian Continent and is the only country with nuclear weapons in the Paldrian Continent.
