### The Arcane Realm

Visit the direct page here.

The Arcane Realm exists at the center of the universe, as the private domain of the Arcs. It was created to serve as a workplace for the Arcs and the Usurpers. Many beings from across the existence come to the realm to train themselves as an Acolyte, and possibly earn an Apprenticeship under the Arcs, with the chance of joining the ranks of an Arc.

### Deitic Realms

The Realm of Perfection was created by Velvet in the early stages of Existence AC, along with the Realm of Imperfection by Eukphine. The two realms exist at the edge of the universe where the existential barrier is located. When the barrier was created, it drew energy from the deitic realms and protected them along with the rest of Arc.

## Timeline

The timeline below will go in detail the various events which occurred in the Existence AC.

### Creation

During the first moments of Existence AC, two deities were created to overlook the universe; Velvet, the Deity of Perfection, and Eukphine, the Deity of Imperfection. Velvet represented the orderly nature of the existence, while Eukphine was the manifestation of Free Will and morality. The two entities combined their powers to create space and time, as well as their respective realms and the barrier around Arc which protected it from the Nothing. The peace in Arc would only last so long; Velvet's greed to be the perfect deity and be able to extend her influence across multiple existences would lead her to seal Eukphine away. In order to replace Eukphine's influence in the universe, she would create Alastor, the Arc of Chaos. Velvet would begin her campaign of protecting other existences besides Arc, leaving Alastor in charge of the universe back home.

After multiple years of peace, Velvet would return to Arc and create the Primeval Palace as her personal realm which she would invite servants and powerful gods from various worlds to reside. Alastor, who had been watching this go on, was unhappy with Velvet's bias to order. She began to limit his influence as well, which further isolated him. Velvet would also create the Usurpers, who would overlook the various galaxies and planets, acting as soldiers for Existence AC.

Unexpectedly, on a mellow evening in the palace, Velvet asked Alastor to leave and stay in the outskirts of the realm temporarily. Days and months passed, and he was never allowed in ever again. Alastor would begin to develop an obsession to prove himself to Velvet around this time, to regain her trust of him, so he could be allowed in like before. He would kill the manifestations of Life, Creation, Love, and Fear, which were created by Velvet in the beginning of the existence, in an attempt to show how much he cared for her perfection; Yet she would refuse to take him back.

Years after his exile, Alastor would attempt to attack her. She was not prepared for this, meaning the fight would be a close battle, leaving the two of them weak and powerless. At the end of the fight, before either of them could finish the other, Velvet realized that with either of their destruction, the barrier which surrounded their precious world would collapse, causing the existence to be unprotected. She decided to protect herself and the universe by splitting her Arcane Energy into 3 different Arcs, which would be her successors. They would be created as new entities which represented their energy; Kosmos, the Universal Arc, Shae, the Order Arc, and Zenith, the Fate Arc.

The three Arcs would replace Velvet's physical form and attack Alastor, managing to weaken him. He would soon be sealed away, no longer able to influence the universe with chaos.

### The First Arcs

After the conflict with Velvet and Alastor, the three Arcs would create the Arcane Realm, to replace the palace as their private domain. The realm would serve as offices where the arcs would work and be approached by visitors. Kosmos, the Universal Arc, proposed that they created a training system for people who visit the realm to become train themselves as an Acolyte and learn about the universe. Many early trials were created and the precedent of an Entry Trial was established, where each individual who came to the Arcane Realm had to pass a test to earn their residence in the realm.

After the realm was established, many of the Arcs divided their energizes into new entities which would work under them, also known as Sub-Arcs. The following categories were created; Space and Creation under the Universal Arc, Time and Balance under the Order Arc, as well as Life and Death under the Fate Arc. The new Arcs would weaken the original trio, but they believed that the strategy of divide and conquer was the most efficient option for managing their existence.

Meanwhile, in the Realm of Perfection, Velvet would begin to write prophecies for special individuals which sealed their fate. They would end the influence of Free Will entirely, making Fate the dominant factor in how the universe worked. The final prophecy created during this time was written for Alastor. She would deliver it to his personal domain, the Chaos Sub-Realm, where he was sealed away permanently. His prophecy would say that at the end of everything, chaos would ensue. These words further angered Alastor and strengthened his hatred towards the Arcs and Velvet. Alastor would begin planning his revenge.

When peace was finally restored in Arc after the writing of the prophecies, Velvet would leave the universe on her mission to spread her influence across the other existences. She would protect the worlds of LUX and Existence AE, working with their deities to create new barriers to protect them. With the primary deity of Existence AC away, it was the perfect time for the order to collapse.
