Scene 0407

*"I want to go to the city! Amanda Said with all the authority a child could muster. The Painter scratched his head and answered: - But don't you like our palace here? We can see all the way trough the valley, and I even let you design lots of rooms! Amanda was irreducible and said: - You promised to take me there when I got my drawings under control and Look! No one is moving!!! Amanda said pointing to the statics drawings in the walls. The Painter recognise he indeed did promises that, but also knew that he made many promises in his long life, many remaining unfulfilled. - We will go later my dear, I promise, let me just finish this painting."*
Scene 0312

*"Charmian?"*

*No answer.*

*""Charmian,"" he persisted, ""won't you take it if I give it to you?""*

*""Who saw it first?"" she asked disdainfully.*

*Peter swallowed hard. ""Well maybe you did, I don't know. Anyway its yours.""*

*""Thank you."" And a smile as cruel as a smile could be on baby lips quivered in the corners of her mouth as she took the arrow and never realized her contemptible conduct.*

*And so a girl of seven begins to understand the power she has, the ease with which she can twist and turn the fate of others to her own advantage. At the age of seven she is aware of a power that is a combination of a pretty face, a soft touch, a gentle voice, and a quick mind. And oh, what lives might founder, what great deeds done, what wonders performed, what hearts drowned in tears when that pretty, girlish face is a woman's, when that gentle voice has learned to be seductive, when that soft touch is fired with sensual warmth, and that quick mind is experienced in the willy-nilly way of things.*
Braland

Scene #0082 – The Back Alleyways of Braland

A sea of silky mist washed through the slowly oxidising sleek steel alleyways of Braland, shading those below from the countless unknown dangers above. A modern manmade creation, Braland was one of the creative heartbeats of the Solverse, known for housing some of its greatest artistic talents and playing host to some of the great iconic performances in history. Braland was so foundational to the Solverse’s creative history that many joked it was almost fitting that ‘The Merge Phenomenon’ left behind a colourful mess for its artists to try clean up. Whilst not much is known about what ‘The Merge’ has in store for them; what Bralandians do know for certain is that whatever it was would be just the beginning of their struggles.

Scene 0517

*"Little is known of the SolStone Gateways found on numerous planets throughout the mapped universe. Even the scientists of the Last Age could not surmise how or why they were built, nor could they pin down exactly when they were built. This uncertainty led to numerous scandals within the Galactic Codex Universities, since it was on a very short list of questions for which they had no answer. Even Maara, Goddess of War, was asked about the purpose of the mysterious arches, though she claimed to have no heavenly knowledge of them. Speculation abounds that they existed before sentient civilization arrived in the Solverse, leading scientists to conjecture they were built not long after the Big Bang, and entire planets coalesced around their footings. As I said, the very idea led to numerous scandals…"*
Scene 0511

*"Up in the skies above the cacophony of chaos below it, one castle stands up tall to the danger at its doorsteps. Guarded by a protection charm as old as time itself, the castle radiates a rainbow of shades and sights for those able to reach its well-protected gates. Like many of the Solverses greatest locations it remains unknown to most and even still many who hear of it believe it to be a myth, but those lucky enough to find it hidden away in the clouds are handsomely rewarded with treasures and great wisdoms. Left unguarded, the Castle in the Clouds would act as an obvious gateway to the greater Solverse for nefarious spirits and beings, so in the shadows acts a group of guards sworn to protect the castle with their lives."*
Scene 0464

*"Commander Konstantine Kneel pecked at the controls of his beloved ship, but got no response. “What’s still working?” he asked whoever was still alive. A sub-lieutenant answered, “I can give you the torpedo tubes, sir, but we only have power for one volley. Then…” he finished by gesturing a cut across his own throat. “It looks like Maara isn’t going to come to our rescue,” Kneel replied in a grave tone. They’d been fighting the Dark Alliance ship for hours, racing through the dense nebula in a cat-and-mouse dance only one of them was destined to survive, but the veteran captain did notice an odd behavior of his opponent. “He seems to think in only two dimensions. Let’s hit that next cloud bank and get some elevation on him. Then we’ll hit him hard from directly above…”*

Scene 0457

*"The fire spreed, the buildings, like torches, blazed with light. Cries, desperation and suffering seemed to fuel the tornado of flames, the smell of burnt flesh poisoned the air. At the feet of the flames, one could see a small man in black attire, mumbling some sort of enchantment. A few moments later, the flames colours started to get darker and darker, and the once raging heat condensed into a black leathery skin whit eyes full of malice and magma. I'M SURDRUM, MOUTH OF THE VOID, TREMBLE MORTALS, FOR YOUR LIVES BELONG TO ME. The evil dragon breathed darkness and flames litting up the sky of Baria."*
Scene 0298

*"Have you ever heard of thundertrees ? It's an unique kind of trees that you can only find on a couple of rare planets of the Solverse. Thundertrees are formed of an infinity of thunderbolts which makes their shape constantly change. They're known to be as scary as they are mesmerizing. Scary because you can't get near them without being vaporized by a powerful thunderbolt. Mesmerizing because the vivid colours they produce constitute an infinite light show you could be staring at for the eternity."*
Scene 0459

*"Here lies the Jungle Castle of Babaluga "Baba", King of the Apes. Baba, a benevolent dictator, was a stern ruler nonetheless. The King has always been fascinated with lightning and thunder. One evening during a thunderstorm, he ordered his closest and wisest advisor, Bunga, to capture the lightning in a bottle and bring it to him. Bunga, knowing that this was an impossible task, captured fireflies in a bottle. Bunga returned to Baba and told him, "My king, the flies had flown too close to the sky and they were hit by lightning. You see, the lightning lives inside them now." Baba was pleased and hung the glowing bottle from the ceiling above his throne. Each morning before Baba awakes, Bunga replenishes the bottle with new fireflies so that the glow continues to shine bright and Baba continues to believe he had captured lightning."*
Scene 0263

*"Townsend was not seen at the Van Sycle farm again that weekend and his absence was beyond their understanding. He met Charmian and Jack Lawrence as he had promised Saturday morning but during the long, hard ride he stayed well out in front and seldom spoke. His reticence was not noticed due to the furiousness of the pace and the wide gaps between the members of the party when they stopped for a walk."*
Scene 0420

*"In the midst of the pure pandemonium created by The Merge Phenomenon very few places in the Solverse could act as a place of even momentary salvation, but here on the flower tops of Gautland those fortunate enough to stumble into its warm welcoming palace may be fortunate enough to find such salvation, even if only for a fleeting moment. Gautland radiates a rainbow of the most beautiful sights from across the Solverse, acting as a corridor to its vast wonders. Those able to successfully navigate its labyrinth of corridors are momentarily transported from the chaotic harshness of the world around them to a place where peacefulness and tranquillity reign supreme. This is truly one of the last bastions of hope left in the Solverse."*
Scene 0316

*"If you catch this world’s sun at the right time of day, you will see it’s rays shine through the mists blowing from the towering Monuments of the Sun. Built long ago, they were set atop geothermal vents which blast warm air into the upper reaches of the towers before venting to the outside. These structures have been used for eons, changing hands from religious orders, military ventures, and commercial developers. Their fate was not an issue until a wealthy gambler won them in a game of Bak-Chi. We suggest seeing the sunshine while you can, as there is no predicting what the eccentric new owner will do with them. Full scale 3-D models have been built on multiple planets, as backups of this galactic treasure."*
Scene 0246

*"Of Tāne: Stepping on the ocean that rises to meet the moon, he stands atop the wave with a yearning on his chest. Against the deep blue sky, with scattered clouds of luminous shade, he imagined his wife, Hine, looking upon him from afar, enlightening him. The great enemy Aituã stalked him, bending the moon, distorting gravity, trapping him on the planet Zaxstrosa. Yet he shall not give up hope. For he has many planets to explore, galaxies to discover. A secret to expose, and his lover to recover. "Try, and try again. Till I break free of gravity. I shall find you again"*

### II.

*"The teachers always assured their pupils the edge of the solverse was but a myth. A pretend place imagined by children, sung about by minstrels fishing for a coin from your pocket, and debated eternally by high-clergy and their science advisors. The biggest ships have left port searching ever westward for the place water spills into the void, only to return when the food ran out, if at all. Maybe the teachers were right, and there is no edge. Or maybe the teachers were wrong, and there is a place in the infinity of space and time where angle and dimensions do not run true. A mirror realm where the entire world reflects back at you from off the sky. It still waits to be found. For now, it exists only in the grandest dreams of the solverse."*
Scene 0446

*"It took many eons before the soldiers of the Dark Alliance risked open warfare in this timeline of the Solverse. They were shapeless blobs of inky darkness, better suited to long flights between star systems than direct interaction with humans. However, when they finally did meet them, the Darks learned to mimic their shape, their looks, and their mannerisms. It was only after this step was complete did they dare take on Koi Mother of Order, and her champion, Maare, Goddess of War. Image captured before Downfall, which was Maare’s illicit affair with the commander of the Dark Alliance."*
Scene 0369

*"Townsend soon forgot Jones as he watched the interesting file of people descending the gangplank. First comes a young man who has been touring the Solverse and wants to add to his inane accomplishments the distinction of being the first passenger off the boat. He rushes down the plank grinning ear to ear and waving an odd hand at some relatives he has spotted on the pier. How his mother will beam into his healthy face. Next two excited girls come forward, returning from school in Qutopia and the careful training of Madame Delisle has taught them to blush becomingly under many curious eyes."*
Scene 0442

*"No one knows how they were made. Scientists have examined the spires to seek evidence of erosion by wind, air, or water, but none of these methods offered a satisfactory explanation for their tall, thin shape. There are many intrusive rocks in each peak, suggesting some degree of volcanic activity helped form them, but none of the surrounding terrain has similar rocks to support a local eruption. The only theory accepted by locals, and it’s a wild one, is that the electrified skies strike these spires and add microscopic layers of atmospheric debris, including meteorites, with each point of contact. Thus, over human lifetimes, the spires grow another inch. Again, that last one has no scientific basis, or consensus, from modern science."*
Scene 0408

*"Legend's speak about a castle made of colours and smoke that would appear during a particularly cold autumn night and rearrange itself according to it's will. One whose courage allowed to get to the castle gates would read the following: Stone and iron will combine, vivid lights will now shine, wait for the kitchen to fill your bellies with delicacies and mysteries, for everyone to know that the castle of wonders was open for show."*
Scene 0373

*"Dreams and memories of true love. His recalled kissing the girl he had fallen in love with at first site. She use to call him Schmoo, or sometimes SchmooBear. How he wished he could turn back time to when she enjoyed his company. But those times were gone. He had to find a way to move on. She had moved on many years ago, but he was still stuck for she had dug passageways deep throughout his heart, and her spirit still roamed those tunnels. He felt like he was under a spell."*
Scene 0360

*"Before the advent of space travel, humans were confined to wherever their species happened to spring up. Planets such as the one shown were difficult for humanity to take root and thrive, since the habitat was so challenging when you needed to eat, and were filled with a million dangers when you only wanted to survive. I’m told this picture shows a major village placed in the central portion of swampland, but I’ll be honest with you, I can’t see anything of the sort. If the village is there, these people were masters of camouflage. I’ll put a placeholder beacon on this slide and come back to it."*

### II.

*"Who knew that such a place still existed? What was only ever told as legends through literature was no match for the beauty before the eyes. It's home to those that at one time ceased to exist within the Solverse, but through miraculous fate were they given a lifetime opportunity to once again flourish and grow. This must be kept a secret to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands again. This is our redemption from the past, a second chance to amend the mistakes of humanity, an opportunity to preserve the piece of nature that mankind has once lost."*
Scene 0340

*"Charmian made herself at home. The house was finished with all simplicity and good taste yet equipped with every known mechanical convenience. It was not a large house and the work was easily managed by one maid and a cook. There were few house guests but the table was well known and entertaining at dinner was a pleasure that friends never discouraged. The best obtainable wines were served at these dinners, just as they had been served at Aunt Jane's father's table many years before and drunkenness was just as opprobrious as it had been in the older days. The dinner party was delightful. And even later that evening, a young man unmindful of his advance approached Aunt Jane and said, ""If you have some sort of gramophone we might dance a bit."" Aunt Jane was as startled by the remark as by a bombshell. ""I am sorry,"" she said looking coldly at him and biting off her words, ""I have no gramophone down here."*
Scene 0495

*"The original bar where the Infinity Guild first met and planned their execution of the wishes of Koi Mother of Order was lost long ago, when the entire city was consumed by volcanic activity during a shift of the continental plates. Later, the bar was rebuilt with modern conveniences like running water and inside toilets. This new version became an instant tourist attraction, always-busy nighttime hotspot, and wildly popular destination on religious journeys of several different orders. One table and six chairs are always left empty, by tradition, in the hopes they will once again be claimed by the original six members of the Guild."*

### II. Office of Jones, Forbes, Hillary, and Jones

From Lore Master: Epicurus

*"It was somewhat after ten o'clock one morning when Townsend entered the office of Jones, Forbes, Hillary, and Jones. Needless to say nothing in his manner disclosed the nervousness he felt at heart as he sauntered, with his usual imperturbability, into the sumptuous rooms. His nonchalant demeanor was aided and abetted by the aloofness of the chambers which in themselves demanded a certain amount of circumspection. The large room, which none but the distinguished clientele passed, was more a reception room than an office. A heavy rug covered the entire floor, mahogany paneling reached up the walls to the high ceiling, and two shiny mahogany desks with a few white papers neatly piled marked the spot where some young man, fresh from university, attempted for a few short hours each day, to vindicate the expense his parents had borne in his behalf. Four ominous looking doors opened, not very often, into the four rooms of the partners in the firm and the word 'private' written under the name on the respective doors was not to be looked upon lightly. During a busy season as many as two of the four partners might sometimes be found in the office at the same time. Business men, Townsend thought, arbitrarily grouping attorneys as such to prevent any alteration of his original idea, earning a living, utilizing their powers in the everlasting struggle for bread, beating back fate and the forces of nature to provide for the wives and children. What a far cry from the soil, what a perversion of a natural destiny."*

*"The note said 6pm, but I was almost an hour early. The place was empty. The jukebox was playing old jazz. Maybe it was that awkward time inbetween rushes, where the space felt deserted. You could still smell the lingering, delicate scent of fine perfume and cigars in the warm light of the lobby bar. ”Had I been here before?”, I thought to myself. Everything felt eerily familiar…"*
Scene 0289

*"Charmian was soon in the fields and with healthy keenness found her way about the haunts of her younger days and reveled in the company of the familiar birds and chattering squirrels. She soon came to the road and went on to the station where she found nothing but an impertinent baggage man who could not appreciate her anxiety and in no way showed sympathy in her disappointment. ""They ain't here,"" he said, ""and if they ain't here, they ain't, that's all."*
Scene 0552

*"Auction item number 000867. Parcel of world known as Mick’s Enclave. We have determined, based on local galactic law, that this planet is currently unable to pay its taxes to the central authorities, and is therefore being subdivided for interplanetary developers. The attached image shows this parcel as it appears today, and is available with residents, for the mind-blowing low bid of 200 space credits. Most of this unit is dry, desert highland, though it is surrounded on three sides by parcels 5309 and 5310. Care must be taken to avoid those areas, as they are high-yield mining areas, and intruders will be subject to fines. Would you like to place a bid?"*
Scene 0554

*"The jungles of solverse where full of treasures and allures, from remains of old civilisations to the most exotic herbs, these forests were sought by many adventures looking forward to make a name for themselves. Unfortunately, most of them would never see a clear sky again, forever bound to the sea of leafs and it's denizens."*
Scene 0243

*"Incident report. Possible abduction. 7:15 in the morning. Photo taken from nearby campsite. What we know: Multiple citizens reported bright lights hovering over a location near their campground. All reported a deep growl, like a Shaker Beast when it’s good and angry, staying with the bright light. It was only after searching for missing campers that witnesses concluded they saw a good and real alien abduction. After several interviews with those present, this constable has come to the conclusion a few too many bottles were passed around last night. I’m filing this under my deepest pile, and I don’t mean my police workload."*
Scene 0351

*"As the town of Beloc unfolded upon the horizon Amanda couldn't help but gasp: Wowwww huge!!!! Zorien what's that?!!? pointing to the tall edifice in the middle. The painter answered with a laugh: - That's the city hall my dear, where the city governor works, I can give you a quick tour when we are done getting some supplies. Amanda face showed her confusion and she said: a whole mountain just for one person? - more like a whole town just for a person the painter thought, but answered: no my dear, his friends works with him there too. Ahh that makes sense! Amanda said happily, friends need to stick together, just like us! You are right about that my dear the painter answered with a smile, now hold my hand and let's go buy some stuff!"*
Scene 0531

*"The Refinery, hovering among the clouds, is where magical dust is processed and refined after being obtained from The Source. Once dust is obtained from winds at The Source, it must be sorted in order to isolate specific molecules needed to maintain infection of The Clocktower. During the dawn of Time Trading, Yako the Inventor both funded and oversaw the construction of this refinery. Quite charmingly, the exhaust gas from refining dust happens to be rainbows, which makes for a spectacular bird's-eye view."*

### II. Rainbow City

From Lore Master: Cyclopes

*"Charmian loved to bike around Rainbow City."*
Scene 0325

*"The soft candle wicks flickered in the wind, dancing to the rhythm of the swirling winds. The tea table was eloquently set for a grand occasion, the girl named Alice was finally coming back for supper but she was late for a very important date. Plates, cutlery and cups were messily spread out resembling some sort of order, ready to greet its important guest for the evening. A chef’s selection of liquid concoctions and delicate pastries waited for Alice upon her much anticipated arrival which will help her traverse the tiny Solverse pocket dimension we call our world, helping her change shapes and sizes if she needs. All the creatures of this world have been stuck here since the beginning of time, but when ‘The Merge Phenomenon’ began it finally gave us just the slightest chance of living a normal life in the physical world above. She has only the slightest chance to save us all and it’d take someone completely mad to even attempt it, but then again we’re all mad here."*

*"Traveling through a route fully obscure & lonely. Then I reach at the fairy land that I dream in my childhood life. I have reached these lands but newly form a mysterious or mythical region.

*"Together again at the same season, beneath the ancient trees, Together again at the same season, we walk around as though breeze And the shadows af these sycamores, these cypresses, numb us; In this tank, the water’s voice glows with a celestial nimbus. Why can the old architect not have us pray for his soul here? Water combed from heaven sparkles in this vision’s atmosphere; On these walls, worth endless hours of wonder, beyond compare, Gardens that will fade rom china are in blossom here and there. A frame was built for spiritual repose so that, given To the eye another world, we with joy, having seen Heaven."*
Scene 0333

*"Maare arrived at the Library of Constancy to find the basement filling with water from recent storms. She understood the Mother of Order, usually in the form of a Koi fish, preferred to travel in her natural element, so the flooding was probably deliberate. The water soon glowed with vivid blues, greens, and yellows as the Mother of Order approached. Maare knelt out of respect, and her bladed dreadlocks hovered low on her back as if they, too, could honor their lady. The koi appeared at the edge of the water, but her voice sounded from inside Maara's head. “Your punishment, Goddess of War, Defender of Light, is to lose the ability to ever engage in personal combat again.” It might well have been a death sentence…"*

Scene 0368

*"About three uneventful weeks has passed with nothing of interest in the world but the forthcoming elections. Townsend had driven down to meet the boat and while waiting he sat in the roadster and perused the paper. He wondered what in the world they printed when elections were not imminent. And then again how they always seemed to have enough news of one sort or another to publish practically the same size paper each day. True the pages were not as numerous on Saturdays for some reason or other but whether there was a war or a flood or a divorce only there each day were the sensational sheets and the thrilling headlines. Every moment of everyday somewhere was a vital moment for someone. After all the Solverse was a big place, with which startling revelation and original conclusion Townsend dropped his paper to muse momentarily on the manner of the world."*
Scene 0535

*"Successful time traders usually begin to feel strange when they're living off of time that they've bought, colloquially known as "bot-time". It is a strange feeling knowing that your time is up. Still, there is much demand for time and many are fortunate to have accumulated bot-time by scalping the markets. However, when an individual is living off of bot-time, it does not go unnoticed for their skin begins to glow. The skin of a individual living on bot-time grows brighter and brighter until they their bot-time runs out.. then they turn blue, as did Pure Light. Here in the town of Phence, late-stage glowers live in a community. Most folks who live here are very late-stage glowers and band together in order to not feel ashamed."*

*"Gargolon desired Princess Peskona but she never liked him. One day, Gargolon walked to her castle and asked her if she wanted to go to Pesko's Seafood Market with him. Princess Peskona sternly and irritably said, ""Noot Noot"" and shut the door. Gargolon did not like that. He went back to his castle and started preparing a snowball for the Princess. The next day, Gargolon played a trick. He told Princess Peskona that there were fish at the bottom of Ol' Peskery's Sledding Hill. The Princess loved sledding, and she was hungry, so she went over to Ol' Peskery's Sledding Hill. As soon as she started sledding down the hill, Gargolon pushed a snowball behind her! Luckily, Ol' Peskery's son, Peskery Jr (known as ""Junior""), skied by and picked up the Princess seconds before she was hit by Gargolon's snowball. Princess Peskona thanked Junior and then invited him over for dinner. After dinner, Princess Peskona gave Junior a big hug. Gargolon did not like that."*

### II. Peskus

From Lore Master: Peskuta

*"My husband, Peskus, and I am hiding from the moody evil Gargolon. Just yesterday, Peskus and I were making snow angels when the ground began to quake, and shake! We turned around to see a giant snowball rolling right at us!! The largest snowball we've ever seen. We ran into this cave before the giant snowball hit us. Oooooo that Gargolon makes me sooo mad! He's so mean!!"*

From Lore Master: ZeSKK

*"Gargolon, he remembers his mother calling.. Do you know what your name means, my dear? He would shake his head. It means the one who builds for the noot, and she smiled while teaching him. You see my love, your father and I built Nootopia as a home for our kind, a place where penguins would be safe, to experiment and thrive, and maybe, one day, reach the stars, just as Icarus dreamed.. Gargolon looked up, but he saw only darkness. He was alone, his parents were long gone, his flock left him, even though he only wanted to help develop the penguin community. Even his love and son, who were supposed to be bound together for his lifetime were no more. Gargolon cried in his cavern, his sorrow and loneliness shaping the colours in the cavern.. he felt cold.. and sleepiness.. A last thought came across Gargolon mind while he entered a deep slumber.. Gods.. please grant me justice.. one day.. grant me my justice."*
Scene 0234

*"There's a land in the Solverse called the Starry Dome where the sun never rises. However, although its night is infinite, this sacred land is not devoid of light. On the contrary, this is one of the most colourful skies you can find since it's located right at the center of the Bull's Eye galaxy, known for its high density of stellar systems. Testimonies report that people who stared at this sky long enough got a vision of their future which allowed them to fulfill their dreams."*
Scene 0240

*"Here is Infinity Stations, a traditional planetary mining town located on the most nutrient-rich planet in the entire Solverse. At Infinity Stations, almost 30% of the entire Solverse's minerals and resources are mined and distributed off-world to wealthier planets in exchange for a hefty fee that ensures the long-term viability of the Infinity Stations project. Digging into the ground, their miners were seemingly the first to discover the bleeding of timelines into each other through the discovery of inter-dimensional resources that were previously unknown. However as the miners continue to mine new resources and materials, they begin to change - almost themselves seeping into the other timelines they so frequently mine from. Now the station acts as ground zero for the colloquially named 'merge phenomenon', and a critical site for researchers trying to discover what’s going on and why this phenomenon is happening in the Solverse."*
Scene 0424

*"If you’ve heard of the SolStone Gateways, you’ve probably also heard of the Solverse Towers. Unlike the former, the latter are well-known throughout the universe as communications relays between worlds and galaxies. Mid-Age scientists harnessed the power of atom and created mini-stars inside safely shielded towers. These high-energy enclosures bent the matter field around them, creating quantum signals that could be sent to any other tower in the network within seconds. They revolutionized the spread of technology, once they could be built, and Archivists credit them with almost single-handedly lifting the Solverse to its highest form of civilization before the Merge. The oldest towers appear as ancient ruins, but are still deemed safe for tourists."*
Scene 0382

*"A testimony of the Power and Pride of the Empire of Valmar, responsible for the defence of the northern boarder of the kingdom. The castle was never once breached for eight hundreds years. After the sudden disappearance of the Valmarian population, the castle was occupied by a few local warlords, each and everyone unable to attend to it's many fortifications and structures. In the most recent years, legends tells that an evil dragon cult took hold of the Fortress, although no formal confirmation was yet released by public authorities. - Piece of the Good Morning Barians Journal."*

### II. Charmian's Entrance

From Lore Master: Epicurus

*"The rusty door handle creaked as it turned. A flurry of snow and sleet swirled through the front door and when it had been shut and the cold cloud of elements had vanished, Charmian stood in the hall like an apparition wafted on a wild wind. Her damp short curls stuck to her forehead or peeped out from under the tight little blue hat that was pulled well down on her head. A bright scarf was carelessly slung about her neck, and a simple blue woolen dress with a loose belt helped set off the color in her cheeks. Her attire bespoke not only good taste but also good sense. But the most noticeable thing about this girl was her eyes, eyes that were beautiful in physical form but which at this moment showed an ugliness lurking in the corners."*

### III. Gargolon's Castle

*"One morning a few pesky penguins decided to build a snowman in front of Gargolon’s Castle. All the commotion and noot nooting woke up Gargolon. He was upset because he likes to get 9 hours of sleep. Because of the noise, Gargolon was only able to get 7 hours of sleep. Grouchy Gargolon went to his balcony and said, “If you don’t quiet down, then I will cast a spell on you! I want to sleep for 2 more hours.” The Noots decided to quiet down. Gargolon went back to bed for a couple more hours."*
Scene 0266

*"In the beautiful downtown of Picanya, there is the famous Solana Bakery! At Solana Bakery, Samwise and Jimmy the Baker, the founders of the wholesome bread community Cryptoasts, carefully bake the most delicious breads in the Solverse. From french baguettes, to bagels, to loaves of rye, Sam and Jimmy can do it all! Yum YuM YUM!! Solana Bakery is known to make the best bread in the Solverse."*
Scene 0332

*"The bright log fire was crackling merrily throwing out an inviting warmth and casting long shadows that flickered about the room in sombre imitation of the dancing flames. The living room was being graced that afternoon in late February by none other than Mrs. James Van Sycle, the wife of one of John's older brothers, one of the brothers who had forsaken the farm for the dignity of a profession."*
Scene 0537

*"Cobblestones streets wind through the town of Westermere. Gentle lighting lines the roads. Gentlemen have an evening drink at the cornerstone bar and their laugher echoes through the alleyways. They tell old tales of Charmian, Townsend, and other early heroes of the Solverse. There is also avid chatter about the football match today. Westermere has the best football (soccer) team in all the Solverse. The Westermere Wolves. Last season they were undefeated! The success of the Wolves keeps spirits high in Westermere."*

### II. Jabermir

From Lore Master: Bean

*"Lord Jabermir oversees the small town of Infinitylabs. He gained popularity with his constituents by saying "Hi" everyday in the town's chatroom on Discord. He never said anything else. Everyday, this made everyone in the chatroom happy. For years, Jabermir simply said "Hi" in the Infinitylabs Discord chatroom. This continued for decades... Jabermir still says "Hi" today..."*

### III.

From Lore Master: Genesis

*"In the town of Lingham, apes and monkeys slept, punks and pesky penguins curled up within their beds. For never was a darkness more chilling than The Freeze, even great Kamani, lay down upon his knees. Winds brought in the waves, Moon House lighting shook, and only Charmian did see which ring The Astro took."*

### IV.

From Lore Master: ZeSKK

*"A black figure walked alone in the quiet streets of Baria. He whispered what seemed to be gentle song, and although one could not see his face, one would not doubt that the Black Jester was, in fact, Happy. He danced alone in the streets, having only the moon light as his witness, he made many exaggerated choreographies while, little by little, he got further in the heart of the town. He would sing: Sleepy city sleepy city, have the most gentle dreams, dormant city, dormant city who watches thy? The jester walks, the jester sees, oh sleepy city, who defends thy? happy city, happy city, the jester came into town! Sad city, sad city, now start's our carnival! The Jester put a small box in the middle of the city plaza, and a few seconds later, the town woke into a nightmare of flames and laughter."*
Scene 0239

*"Library inside Infinity Guild headquarters. The amount of knowledge known about the Dark Alliance was never going to be complete, due to their distant origins and ever-changing staging areas, there was nonetheless a huge repository of data about them. It was kept in the basement of guild headquarters so it could be easily referenced by members of the elite group. Over the ages it also became a storehouse for all the relics associated with the battle between Order and Chaos. An empty table remains in one wing, as it is where Maara’s amulet will be studied, if it ever located again."*
Scene 0556

*"Almost every populated world in the Galactic Codex has a scene like this one. Towering clouds announce the onset of massive drops of precipitation, sometimes hazardous. This continues to be the playground of scientists and thrill-seekers alike, though they are often the same people. Even as the timeline reached a point near the merge, there was still no way to accurately predict weather more than fifteen minutes out. This is why weathermen never faded out as a career choice. And, true to form, even with satellites blanketing the skies, they still manage to get things wrong about half the time."*
Scene 0437

*"The tree, once nourished by the flowing aurora of the river. A shelter and protector of the little ones, the darkness has come in an attempt to claim it. As it struggled against the drought, help came through. The bright night pierced through the dark clouds, nourishing the tree with celestial dew. With firm resolve, the tree deepened its roots onto the ground, drawing out every drip of moisture locked within. The tree will not be claimed. It shall always stand. Or will it?"*
Scene 0223

*"On Adamateus its citizens live largely peaceful and conflict-free lives. From the time they are born they are nurtured and taught to respect and admire the land and community around them. They are guided by the Solverse around them and the ritualistic bi-annual phenomenon colloquially named The Solar Lights. All is peaceful and very few citizens are buoyed by the troubles of daily life, but as the greater Solverse begins to merge into a singular timeline, the dangers and threats from those other timelines begin slowly seeping into the Solverse, creating immense danger for the previously unthreatened and actively non-violent planet. Now chaos knocks at its doors in the form of a toxic gas named Hetrite, ready to consume and corrupt the citizens of Adamateus unless they can change their ways and fight back against this unheralded pure evil."*

### II. Gases Of Nazar

From Lore Master: baycftw

*"The Gases of Nazar provide one with the ability to speed up thought processing. Upon inhaling, one can think twice as fast. Process thoughts twice as quickly. In times of great hardship, when a solution must be found quickly, the brightest academics come here to breathe the gases, hoping that they might be able to find a solution before it is too late."*

### III. Guardians

From Lore Master: bumblbee

*"Home to the Guardians, they watch over us, ready to protect us all on Solana."*
Scene 0375

*"If you are visiting the Codex today from a lower-tier world, your image of global warfare is probably hundreds of years behind the times. This scene depicts a battlefield between two warning nations, and the firefight is intense. The sky is littered with flying drones, from the simple orb models up to the full-surveillance package common on autonomous birds. Upon taking catastrophic damage, these vehicles self-destruct and attempt to take the enemy with them, leading to large payloads of nanobots (pink colored) dropped, so they can seek out enemy robotics. A similar battle takes place with drones in the water. Hundreds or thousands of miles away, a handful of human combatants stand by with emergency commands for the drones under their watch. When the enemy drone operators are finally found, the war usually ends without bloodshed, as a courtesy to the other side."*
Scene 0496

*"We know little about the daily life of people in this particular era, but their living quarters are typical for much of human history. We know from the black hole outside the window this planet was probably too close to the event horizon, and perhaps this was a final snapshot before falling over the edge. Note the distortion effect of the digital lens. The other thing we know for certain is the green Pie sitting at the edge of the bed. These playful creatures were a mainstay of several galaxies in those middle periods. This archivist hopes both Pie and human friend escaped the ugly black hole."*

### II. Tale Of The Wobbly Bedroom

*"As an Arbiter of the Solverse takes refuge from a day/night (time is only a construct here, it wanes and grows as gravity bends the universe to its will), an ethereal being must also recuperate following its travels across many millennia and many a light year. The fires of endless lives ignite while endless embers of the old extinguish in only a mere blink of the eye of an Arbiter. But when the heart of an Arbiter begins to grow cold, and its duty is nearing its end. It's safe haven builds around its core. For it knows its end is upon it. All light that shines bright must eventually fade, for without it, no other light can shine anew. The Arbiter lays its soul ready for its eternal slumber. What cushions the rest of the once immortal? A solid, liquid or gaseous pillow? Maybe the endless plasma of the streams of time-space envelope the Arbiter as it begins its journey into reincarnation. Sleeping to only awaken upon the next cycle. Rejuvenation only to perish once more. The circular nature of its existence is not apparent, but the Arbiter is aware that this cycle is inescapable. As its soul closes, the eyes of a new being open. Bringing forth the perception of what appears to be a room of sorts. But the material plane SNAPS into frame. And the remnants of the Arbiter are birthed anew. Gregg wakes up and says to friend and gasps "fuck I really shouldn't have dropped that other tab"."*
Scene 0257

*"Gokal is a leader within the Degenerate Ape Academy (“Degen Apes”). His positivity and upbeat energy motivates us all in the Solverse to build and create new applications and tooling to preserve censorship-resistance and sovereignty of the individual. Gokal, ser, we salute you! For your service to the Degen Apes."*

### II. MonkeDAO

From Lore Master: SMB 1403

*"He was a leader within the MonkeDAO community, and fighter for privacy, sovereignty, and other basic individual freedoms. He never did seek glory or praise, but prioritized helping the community and others, always. Now he must rest, after give so much love and energy to MonkeDAO for so many years. Now was his time to rest. He looked out upon the Solverse, and took a moment of pleasure knowing that he'd given his very best to the wonderful MonkeDAO community. His contributions to MonkeDAO will benefit many for years to come."*

### III. The Gorilla

From Lore Master: Ape

*"The gorilla sat alone, in a seemingly meditative state, looking out upon the stars. His spirit was at peace with all his surroundings. Raw nature. A soft wind gently blew across the creatures body, and his face expressed that he was tired. His time was near, to move on to the next world, for death is just another chapter of life. This creature represents peace in its purest form."*

### IV. Jungho

From Lore Master: Bean

*"The ancient beast sat down, defeated at last. Looking out at the stars of the Solverse, breathing his last breaths. There was no time left. His reign was over."*

### V. SMB King

From Lore Master: smbking

*"The King took off his heavy crown and enjoyed the midnight view of the Solverse."*
Scene 0504

*"I recognize that Vengeance is the fuel of choice for most of your kind. Dvair Sol Dvain supposedly survived several hundred years trudging diligently in the abysmal Succor Swamps living only on the dual ethers of Hateshine and Revengesh. Potent sustenance to be sure but mind bending as well."" Din De'ore, Judge of AllPast turned his attention to the eternally shifting tapestry at the wall. ""If you, like he, were to ever come across the Divinity Shift you might pass right through it like a ship in the shimmering tangerine fog."" Turning back to the broken mythical, but fading figure, ""But"" the Judge picked up Sabnaak by one stump of a wing, putting nose to nose, ""If you open yourself to it…"" His leaden eyes rolled back into his head, mouth agape, ""aaarghhhh"" his breath hitched. Snapping back to burn fiercely at his captive. ""BAHHH"" he tossed the blackened shape across the floor. ""You could never be that one. We've waited too long and lost thousands of truly worthy heroes to pretend you have the Touch of the Gods."*
Scene 0491

*"In the beginning The Great Protectors spawned life from the Genesis Sphere, an orb from the Koi Pond itself that floats through the corridors between worlds providing the essence to order and chaos in the Solverse. Here all things both good and bad spawn from its unknowable presence, providing balance to the worlds around it and acting as a central connecting point to the Greater Solverse at large. This is the key exchange of matter and energy that defines the relationship between The Great Protectors and their subjects in the worlds they once helped create, safeguarding the future of existence itself. Without this critical exchange, the foundations of the Solverse would collapse and chaos would start to engulf all around it."*
Scene 0269

*"After many clashes of the gods, the rift begins to crumble day by day. The fabric of reality decays every second, as the mountains and the skies get distorted. The particles of reality begin to scatter in every possible timeline, where all is one and one is all, where the implications of space and time do not exist, where truth coexists with fiction. The beingness of all things as well their soul become alike, as existence does not matter anymore, because they reside everywhere and nowhere at the same time."*
Scene 0399

*"High up in the sky beyond reach from the mortal realm, rests the king of infinity upon his throne. Cursed with knowledge, enslaved by eternity he watches the cosmic scale grow. Destiny is invetible legends will come and go but the tales of the king will always be foretold."*

### II. King Of The Solverse

From Lore Master: Bean

*"Here sits the King of the Solverse. Every 6 months there is a series of contests that elect the new King of the Solverse. The contests may change, as determined by the Board of Royalty Competitions. When one is King, their name is forever etched into stone on the backside of the King's throne."*

### III. Cronus

From Lore Master: Genesis

*"Cronus granted one and only one wish for each member of the Solverse."*

### IV. Plutus

From Lore Master: Mr. Black

*"King Plutus, Conveyor of Time, The One of the Wand, The Hero at Fort Stormwood."*
Scene 0483

*"There are few things in life as satisfying as a good cup of tea. Thought by some to be nothing more than soaking leaves in pots of water, the art of tea serving is an art constantly studied and improved throughout the Solverse. Here we find a quaint tea house positioned perfectly with a view of a local mountaintop. We can surmise the proprietor was a rotund, wise man, perhaps with a nephew who worked with him for a time before heading off toward that mountain to redeem his honor."*
