Shortly before Tristan was sent back in time, Dexamene graduated from the shipboard academy on Nicholas' ship.

Dexamene approached Nicholas, but hesitated when she came face to face with him. She told Nicholas that she was worried about Tristan and that she knew that they couldn't contact him before she asked if they could know if he had arrived at his destination correctly and safely. Nicholas told her that Tristan had arrived safely and that he missed him as well.

When Nicholas asked Dexamene if there was something else wrong, she told him that she knew that Tristan had to go home but that she had wished that she had told him that she cared for him. She went on to tell him that she had wanted to tell Tristan, but that she knew he didn't care for her that way and that she didn't want to ruin their friendship.

Nicholas put a hand on Dexamene's shoulder and told her that she was an incredible asset to the crew, the ship and to him and how grateful he was to have her aboard. She saluted at him before muttering an embarrassed thank you and asked for permission to be dismissed. When Nicholas granted her permission to leave, she practically fled down the corridor.

The Council of Victors predates the United States of America. It has been in activity since or slightly before 1750.

Following Doxer's death at the hands of Felicity Chambers, the Council of Victors contacted the Committee and requested that they be allowed to personally question Felicity and Avalon. The Committee denied the Victors request to meet with Felicity and Avalon, but promised to present them with what they learned about the situation after they talked with them themselves.

## Structure and Functionality

The Council of Victors is made up of sixteen members. It is composed out of two representatives from each of Eden's Garden's eight tribes that are nominated by the tribe's chief and then confirmed in a vote by the adult members of the tribe.

### Power Transference

The Council of Victors gain their strength from their tribes and aren't reliant on the rest of the Victors to maintain their power. Every time that someone who is a member of their tribe gains power from killing something, a small portion of their power is transferred to the two Victors for that tribe.

## Trials and Rulings

### Crossroad Connection Ruling

On 1750, the Council of Victors ruled that unless an accused party can be conclusively demonstrated to have harmed Eden's Garden in some way themselves, they cannot be held accountable for the actions of those outside of the Garden. The Victors also ruled that a connection with members of Crossroads cannot be solely used to hold judgement on a Garden Heretic unless there was some other evidence of wrongdoing.

### Right of Reparation Trial

On October 29th, 1974, a trial that was brought before the Council of Victors ended with the Victors concluding that any Garden Heretic that is under the age of twenty may pass the Right of Reparation Challenge made against them to their mentor.

While humanity’s home held seven major continents, the largest landmass on Elohim was only about as large as Earth’s Australia. The vast majority of the Seosten homeworld’s landmass was taken up by intricate island chains. There were thousands of them, islands which ranged from small enough to throw a rock across, to islands that were almost a thousand miles across. Most of those islands formed a sort of spiral through the ocean, surrounding that single Australia-sized continent.*"
—Jophiel's description of Elohim

## Seasons

Elohim has an axial tilt, and thus Elohim has the seasons like Earth does.

However, the orbit of Mars has greater eccentricity than that of Earth. Therefore, the seasons are of unequal length, much more so than on Earth.

Flick shoved his feet off the chair and sat down in it; he lifted his hands behind his head and asked if something had ruffled her feathers.

Flick asked him if Deveron was the one that was supposed to give them the tour earlier. He shrugged and asked if his substitues had done a good job, saying that he had left two of them to do it to make up for missing him.

Deveron stood to leave when Gaia excused the second years and above, but sighed and sat back down when she told them that team mentors had to stay. Flick sarcastically asked him whether it had been his helpful personality or his strict work ethic that had allowed him to become a team mentor. He told her that he had pulled a sword out of a stone but that instead of becoming a king, he became responsible for them. He said that at least his table was full of babes instead of dudes before he apologized to Sean and Columbus.

### First Steps

He said that Nicholas didn't want them to be there and that Nicholas wanted to take his long-many-child of his blood with him. Flick asked him if he meant descendant and he told her that was the right word.

Flick introduced the Meregan children to Avalon Sinclaire, Shiori Porter, Sandoval Mason, Scout Mason, Columbus Porter, Sean Gerado, Asenath and Vulcan before she asked Dis what his name was. He stepped forward, reached for Vulcan and told her his name.

Avalon asked Dis what happened when he and the other Meregan children had woken up. He told her that they had woken up in a small room in a tall building and that they were hungry. He said that Nicholas had been surprised, but that he had given them food before he had brought them there to wait. Dis said that Nicholas put "Other-Things" to find their parents to trade them for Nicholas' descendant.

Later, Dis stepped closer to Flick and hesistantly asked if he and the other Meregan children were really going back to their parents and families. Asenath told him that he and his friends would go home very soon and then asked him what his father's name was. He told her that his father was Purin and that Purin was in charge of the K'lechnahn. Shiori told Dis that they had met his father and that he was fine.

Dis and the other Meregan children were taken to the tall building. Nicholas told them that they could leave before Gaia Sinclaire opened a portal to the interior of the transport room. She told them to go and held the portal open while Dis and the other children ran through.

## Biography

Caelus created Cronus to be a fully-functioning clone of Cron. Cron and Crous were later injected with a genetic modification that connected them before the two of them merged. Caelus hugged him after he saw that his plan was successful, but was absorbed into him due to a mutation in his genetic modification. When the doctors and security staff attempted to intervene, he killed them in self-defense.

Cronus created a virus that would alter the host's DNA and allow him to absorb them before he exposed the virus to another group of scientists. He absorbed the scientists into himself, but the additional minds made it harder for him to think straight. He continued to absorb other Seosten until he was forced to flee, taking an experimental spacecraft and leaving Elohim.

At some point, Cronus would discover the Fomorians. Seeing the Fomorians as the answer to the weakness that had allowed the Seosten to drive him off Elohim, he began to teach them. After a certain point, he disappeared.

After he absorbed Caelus into himself, Cronus created a virus that would allow him to absorb all of the people that it had infected. He became capable of absorbing all of the knowledge, skills, and power of the people that had been exposed to it as well as turning into anyone he had absorbed, shifting his body to match theirs whenever he needed to.

Mine-To-Mind Spell

The **Mine-To-Mind Spell** is a spell to transfer information written down on paper into the minds of those that use it. It was invented by Kutattca.

## Overview

The Mine-To-Mind Spell is a spell that can be used to transfer information written down on paper into the minds of those that use it. This knowledge can not be removed against the user of the spell's will, no matter the spell or Alter-power used on them afterward.

To use the Mine-To-Mind Spell, a Heretic or an Alter will draw a rune, prime it with 'Ugatahahee', place it against their forehead and say 'Ugatahahee'.

The more information that the Mine-To-Mind transfers, the more it hurts the users. It is for this reason that it is useful to pass on specific bits of information like phone numbers or names, but not entire concepts.
