Genesis

**SPOILERS AHEAD!!!**

### Geography

The Kingdom of Genesis is a sprawling labyrinth of chambers and passages. Citadel Agartha connects most other areas, such as the Stygian Study, Axis Mundi and Pishon Dry Lake. The Citadel is made up of numerous rooms fashioned from stone, and nearly all the rooms are highly intact, unlike the Dry Lake, which consists of rough terrain, and is inhabited by Weeds and Wall Knuts. The Study with filled with beautifully made pillars and arches, with a lookout over Axis Mundi. Axis Mundi is a giant, ruined town that sits below the Tower. Across the town sits a gatehouse that guards the entrance to the Kerguelen Plateau, a snowy tundra at the far end of the Kingdom.

### The Estuaries

The Estuaries are six powerful beings that keep the Golden Doors in Citadel Agartha sealed. Estuary Lamech resides in the Citadel, and fought against the rebels. Estuary Enoch abides in his Study, learning about relics and heirlooms scattered throughout the Kingdom. Estuary Naamah tended the Kerguelen Plateau, until it collapsed due to a famine, becoming icy and dangerous. Estuary Tubal did his work in Pishon Dry Lake, where due to his actions he was later eaten by Ladon the Dragon. At the summit of the Sun Tower is a false sun, created to illuminate the Kingdom, which is in fact subterranean. Estuary Irad lives within the sun itself. It is said that Irad’s loyalty to the King has blinded him, and his actions in part led to the birth of the Rebellion. Enoch created a poison to kill Irad, but it was stolen by Jonah, who used it to poison the Fruit of Life.

### The Immortal King

After all the Estuaries have been slain, the Golden Doors will open. They lead to the Garden of Eden, where Jonah is found guarding the Fruit of Life. He warns you he has already poisoned it, and when you make it to Castle Hamson, you find Cain, the Immortal King. He thanks you for bringing him the fruit, but, as Jonah has warned you, it poisons him. After defeating Cain, he tells you the waters will rise, and it does. As soon as he is defeated, the entire Kingdom begins to flood, and, if you escape, the entire Castle rises into the air, leaving only Jonah, watching everyone else escape as the waters rise around him, and Genesis falls, while its capital rises.

## Timeline

1. Cain descends to a subterranean realm from the surface world. There, after a fierce battle against Void Beasts, he obtains the Fruit of Life from the Tree of Life. Consuming it makes him immortal.
2. Cain founds the Kingdom of Genesis, the main purpose of which is to grow new Fruits of Life from the Tree.
3. Cain appoints Estuaries in charge of running the kingdom:
	1. Lamech, Estuary of Combat, a weapons master concerned with training soldiers, defending the kingdom and fighting in Cain's armies.
	2. Mehujael, captain of the ship Preserver of Life, who first descended into the Stygian Ocean from the surface, battling Void Beasts in a desperate bid to reach the Tree of Life. He was later transferred to the Nibiru Deep Mines along with his crew to assist with mining ore.
	3. Naamah, Estuary of the Harvest, who handles cultivating the land and food production. Originally a commoner, she was made into an Estuary after Enoch recognized her skill in making the land thrive even after vicious battles have been fought there.
	4. Enoch, Estuary of Knowledge, who, apart from other duties, is primarily concerned with making the Tree of Life produce the Fruit of Life.
	5. Irad, Estuary of War, who controls the day-night cycle and the Kingdom's military.
	6. Tubal, Estuary of the Forge, who mines Pishon Dry Lake for ore and fashions all manner of things from it, from weapons and armor to multi-purpose automatons.
4. Cain starts a war on the surface world in an attempt to conquer it.
5. Jabal is made an Estuary on the surface , and claims the title of Master Strategist. This was only possible due to him stealing Irad's brilliant strategies and claiming them as his own. This enrages Irad, who plans to grow the Kingdom's population in the coming years to use as his personal army, and invade the surface world in retribution.
6. Enoch and Naamah fall in love and have a child, but Estuaries having children with each other is forbidden. The child is kept a secret and entrusted to Naamah's sister, Miriam.
7. Enoch and Naamahs’ child, Z, or Maria, starts a rebellion.
8. Tubal travels to see Cain, and learns about Jabal, who he kills in a fit of rage.
9. Tubal joins the rebels and arms them to the teeth.
10. Jonah, one of Lamech’s spawn, also joins the rebels.
11. Jonah betrays the rebellion, and he and Tubal are thrown out.
12. Tubal is captured by the crew of Axis Mundi’s flagship, the Preserver of Life, and he is fed to Ladon.
13. Irad and Jonah seal of the Kerguelen Plateau from the rest of Genesis.
14. Enoch makes a poison to kill Irad, but he himself is poisoned and sealed inside his throne. At about the same time, Lamech suffers a similar fate after being wounded in the rebellion.
15. Irad ventures down to the Dry Lake, where he learns of Tubal’s life inside the Dragon. Irad learns that the only way to make the Tree of Life grow is to kill the other Estuaries.
16. Abel, Cain’s brother, starts a legacy of heirs that the player controls. This is where the real game starts…
