The **Summoning Key**, also known as the **Astoth Arbzorark** (Translation from Apothicon: All Key) is a mysterious artifact that has existed since the First One flinged the Omniverses into place, and created the Realms. Many have sought out the artifact due to the several unique capabilities it possesses. According to Doctor Monty, Nan Sapwe and the Shadowman. It is the "most powerful artifact in any dimension of the Omniverse" in the Omniverse.

## Creation

The Summoning Key was created by the Gatekeepers, and the First One with the intention of making an artifact capable of manipulating the Aether, with this. The First One and the Keepers made Agartha, a physical plane of existence and variant of the Aether. Who used the artifact to seed and mix the dimensions, the realms with life itself. Eventually, after the First One disappeared. It was used by Dr. Monty and the Shadowman, the latter using it to experiment with the Dark Aether with the help of a splinter group of Keepers. Which resulted in them being corrupted and eventually turning into the Apothicons.

## The Seeking Out

Eventually, long after his rise to power in the Dark Aether, The Forsaken planned on taking the Summoning Key, his plan was to use it's capabilities to make himself more powerful and to finally destroy the Ink Demon, as he believed the Summoning Key being the first creation would allow him to finally and permanently end the Ink Demon. However, the Forsaken's plans were put on hold, as the Summoning Key resided in Agartha, under the watchful eye of Dr. Monty and Nan Sapwe. Eventually however, the Summoning Key was moved to the South Pacific in Dimension 63 for safekeeping by Nan Sapwe. Much to the dismay of The Forsaken. Eventually, it came into someone's possession. As a reporter working for a man named Mr. Rapt (which was nothing more but an simple false alias and disguise used by the Shadowman) came across it, collecting it. the reporter was supposed to deliver it to the Shadowman's sort of hideout in a crate in his truck, however at the same time, the Ambassador of the Dark Aether, Derpy went to Dimension 63, seeking the Key for the Forsaken.

When he got to the reporter, the man was babbling madness, waving a letter signed by Dr. Monty, and telling Derpy to stay away. When Derpy approached, the reporter attacked and Derpy was forced to act in self-defense, as he stabbed the man to death. However much to Derpy's dismay, the crate that the Summoning Key was sealed with some form of ancient magic. This magic was of Keeper origin. Derpy left and waited. Knowing eventually a group of individuals would unlock the key.

## Acquiring By The Guest

The Guest eventually learned of the Summoning Key's existence, and began seeking out the Key. Eventually due to the risk of the Summoning Key possibly being stolen. Nan Sapwe ordered it to be moved back to Agartha, where it was safekept. The Guest however, with cunning and intellect on it's side began chaos and riots in Jacksonville, Florida. Catching Nan Sapwe's attention, as he went to keep the peace. The Guest snuck into The House where the Summoning Key was kept in the basement, it simply put it's hand on the crate, and somehow the raw untapped demon energy it possessed DESTROYED the Keeper magic protecting the crate, afterwards. It smashed open the crate and stole the Summoning Key. Teleporting off after Nan Sapwe had settled the riots in Jacksonville.
