## Description

Eidolons are massive creatures varying in shape, size and powers, although they are often at least vaguely animalistic or supernatural. They act as powerful summoned beasts, the most powerful summons aside from Deities and Great Spirits themselves. They are created through several types of rituals. There are two main categories of Eidolons.

* **Fettered Eidolons** are summoned through a ritual that ties one's Soul to part of the Spirit Realm, allowing the person to shape Aether into a physical form; this results in the birth of an Eidolon. This Eidolon, however, is merely a reflection of part of the summoner's psyche, and thus can only be summoned by them.
* **Unfettered Eidolons** are born from painful, sacrificial rituals that tear a willing individual's Soul and mind out of their body. Just as before, an Eidolon is born from shaped aether, but this time, it possesses an independent consciousness.

A Contractor is a powerful being, able to visit the Apocrypt freely without suffering any side effect. It can also summon its Apocrypha's powers at any time, although they are much weaker while not in the Apocrypt. It communicates telepathically with its Apocrypha and can send it on investigation missions without severing the bond between the two.

However, that bond between Contractor and Apocrypha also proves to be the Contractor's undoing. The Contractor's lifespan, soul and sanity are slowly drained by the Apocrypa as he feeds on him. When the Contractor's time is up, it is often devoured by the Apocrypha, unless he becomes a mindless, lifeless puppet for him.

A Contractor's time limit is symbolized by a rose-shaped mark on their body, with thirteen petals fading as time goes by. When the last petal disappears, the person's Soul is taken.

Even before that gruesome end, Apocryphae torment their contractors, inflicting them with visions of their own pain and corrupting them in a specific way often tied to their own legends.

## Trivia

* The term **Contractor** alludes both to the concept of Faustian bargain and to the manga Pandora Hearts.
Divine Syllables

The **Divine Syllables** are a Runic alphabet considered a High Magic and invented by Solomon.

## Description

It is an extremely fast language allowing to process Magical incantations with unprecedented speed. It allows the performer to cast spells with a few syllabs, shortening a spell's casting time by a factor of a hundred. However, due to the extreme complexity of this language, only few people can use it.

It does not, as opposed to other Runes, describe concepts, but instead directly commands to the underlying mechanisms of magic. This in turn makes it extremely complex and almost unreadable due to manipulating the motions of Mana instead of functioning as a normal language.

Solomon developed this Runic language from Enochian, Angels' tongue, and as such, some Angels can read it with little to no effort. Prophets can also read this language, albeit with much less ease. It is the language in which Red Sea Tablets are inscribed.

## Trivia

* Divine Syllables are said to sound mostly like ancient Hebrew.
Empty Skies

The **Empty Skies** are a powerful Spell using the Ultimate Transcendant as a catalyst.

## Description

This Ritual allows one to use the body of an Ultimate Transcendant as a vessel for all the Souls in the affected Plane, depriving all those who exist of their sense of self and individuality and allowing the manifestation of the Plane's Deity, Cassiel.

A Ritual of apocalyptic proportions, it asks furthermore that a living being who conducts the ceremony sacrifices himself in order to serve as Cassiel's mind, forever tormented by the broken Souls within ; it asks also that both the conductor and Ultimate Transcendant lie in the middle of the Maelsturm, and that the conductor is killed in the middle of the ceremony. This makes the Ritual as impractical as it is powerful.

## Trivia

* The term Empty Skies could be likened to an anti-religious experience, a denial of all Souls in the world ; the term would later be used, without the nihilistic connotation, by Xelias in order to address the silence between Deities and mortals.

However, Esoteris remains fearful that her blood would overtake her, making her act as Nergal, and as such, attempts to ignore the call of her fierce blood.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** Esoteris, as the heir of Tiamat, is monstrously powerful, and would theoretically be able to match Nergal in power.
* **Dragon Form:** Esoteris can transform into a massive white dragon, although she seldom uses this power, having sealed away most of it within herself.

## Trivia

* Esoteris's name derives from "esoteric" referring to her out-of-this-world appearance and abilities.
Draekhor

**Draekhor** is an antagonistic figure of Keania.

## Story

A powerful Kaiser and Dragon-Type Pokemon expert from Keania, Professor Amandia corrupted him under Plagatrum's influence with said beast's virus in the hopes that he would pose a sufficient threat for the island. He did, by forming Team Wilder and attempting to create a "survival of the fittest" by wiping out civilization and establishing a new, feral natural rule. However, he was stopped by Flora-Bella Spencer.

## Appearance

Draekhor is a silver-haired muscular man with piercing red eyes, with a massive black cape and black shorts as his only clothes.

## Personality

Draekhor's personality is unknown, but after his corruption at the hands of Plagatrum, he became fierce and violent, viewing the world as a place of strife between man and nature, and his initial desire to protect wildlife and allow it to bloom turned in an obsessional desire to reduce civilization to ash, employing Plagatrum's Virus to further corrupt himself and increase the power of his Pokemon in the single-minded desire to return all to the natural order.

## Trivia

* Draekhor's name is derived from the Drakkar viking boat, and even further, from the "Drake" root meaning "dragon".
Cheshire Isle

The **Cheshire Isle** is a massive Plane-like structure existing separate from everything else.

## History

Founded by Sarah Duncan and Lily Evershire from fragments of islands found in the Empty Realm, it eventually left the Empty Realm and became a plan on its own after clashing with Noden. It was named after Lily's Cheshire Corporation, itself a reference to Lily's cat-like motif and Sarah's association with madness.

The Cheshire Isle quickly became a refuge for those whose Timelines had been threatened. Many Story Arcs end with their Timeline's inhabitants having to join the Cheshire, now considered a quasi-Utopia for those outside it. This is in part due to the Cheshire's tranquility, protection from outside threats, and position as a bastion to defend all of existence.

Despite this idyllic aspect, the Cheshire Isle is often the theater of struggles for power. Sarah and Lily are contested by Nemo Harumageddon and Revan Tuule's **Black Rose Empire**, and Nicol Bolas, a powerful and wicked Elder Dragon, has woven several schemes to take over it.

## Description

The Cheshire is a massive floating island composed of several structures, including entire towns, cities and even small countries taken from lost words. This mesh of cultures and identities makes the Cheshire a chaotic place, yet the multiculturalism and tolerance make it more enjoyable.

There is no unified financial system in the Cheshire Isle but people often negociate in rare items, Artifacts or even (for its less scrupulous denizens) Souls. There are several administrative structures and kingdoms but no definite authority over all of the Cheshire, although Sarah and Lily act as its supervisors.

Portals in the Cheshire lead to a strange demiplane that welcomes Future Children, individuals chosen to return to their parents in the Cheshire itself. This is part of what attracts many new visitors and groups to the Cheshire.

## Trivia

* When defeated, Anatole Blueback tells Pyrrha Nikos and Dakini not to worry, for "All will meet again - at the Cheshire". It is unknown whether this sentence was metaphorical, merely directed as Pyrrha and Dakini, or truly hints that the Cheshire is an absolute finality in the Multiverse.
Emmanuah Cypr

**Emmanuah Cypr** is a ritualist bearing the curse of Ashes.

## Story

Emmanuah, once a ritualist from **Hashep**, was caught in a massive war waged on **Archades**. Desperate to end the violence and brutality and redeem those around him, Emmanuah made a pact with the Great Spirits and performed a massive country-sized ritual known as a Purification Ceremony. This, he hoped, would save the souls of those within the war and remove their hatred and impurities, and protect his wife Mariya Cypr.

This succeeded, labeling Emmanuah a Great Messiah and turning Archades in the Malakh-inhabited **Archadia**. However, the corruption known as Ashes took refuge in the land of Asphodel, destroying Emmanuah and turning him into a monstrous being known as the Progenitor of the Ashes, damned to an eternity of torment.

Seeking to undermine the efforts of Messiahs and taint the world, Emmanuah almost succeeded when Mariya herself gave him such a chance inadvertently; however, he was then stopped by a team led by Katerin and Manakel Illoth. Finally defeated and freed from torment, Emmanuah evaporated, his Soul taking refuge in the body of Manakel.

## Appearance

Emmanuah is a silver-haired man with bright red eyes, dressed in a black combination that inspired the Messiahs' uniform. He is also adorned with a massive black and red cape.

## Personality

Once desperate to safe his region from annihilation, Emmanuah performed a ritual that led to his very Soul being scarred, something which led to remorse and madness, Emmanuah eventually losing his altruistic, self-sacrificing spark, and embracing the role of the world's darkness. Convinced that the world cannot be saved, Emmanuah fancies himself a realist - who shatters useless dreams and delivers mankind from the pains of hope.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** Emmanuah is an extremely talented physical fighter with immense stamina due to his role as a dark Messiah. His main weapon is the sword, but he can also fight with a bow, twin blades, claws, a staff, a spear, knives, or a massive gun-axe.
* **Magical Abilities:** Emmanuah possesses mastery over all elements, trivially calling upon them as the lord of Corruption and Desolation.
* **Keen Intellect:** Modifying and performing a modified Purification Ceremony as well as designing several forbidden spells is one of the many heritages Emmanuah gifted the world with.
* **Ash Manipulation:** Emmanuah can freely control the flow of Ashes, as long as he does so with corrupting intent.

## Storylines

* Tales of Emberia features him as a central antagonist.

## Trivia

* His name is that of one of the many titles granted to Jesus, referring to his role as a savior.
* Cypr is a play on name on Cypher - both a reference to coding known as cipher, to the German name for 'zero', and to the popular nickname for Lucifer.
* He shares his theme song - Aviators' Let There Be Fire - with Manakel.
Don Glen of Dunban

**Don Glen of Dunban** is Charles Isidora Islington's guardian from Amberre.

## Story

Appearing at first as a cruel leader of Amberre, he attempted to sell a captured Mina Harker into slavery, before negotiating with Gerald Hermano.

He was later resurrected by Mina's actions upon obtaining Truth.

## Appearance

Glen is a silver-haired man with brown eyes, dressed in the regal colors of Amberre - a purple, gold and white uniform.

## Personality

Glen is arrogant, conceited, aristocratic and obsessed with appearing refined and sophisticated, using his behavior to coerce others.

However, his selfless devotion to Charles is later revealed to be the byproduct of caring for a dying child and seeking to fulfill his wishes of grandeur no matter what.

## Powers

* **Wraith-Form:** Glen willingly let Charles control him using an enchanted blade, turning him into a supernaturally-threatening Wraith.

## Trivia

* Much like Charles, Glen is inspired by Eternal Sonata - this time of recurring enemy Fugue.
Dimitri Nerro

**Dimitri Nerro** is a wealthy man with a passion for the occult.

## Story

A businessman fascinated by Duel Monsters and the occult, his experimentation with Abaddon eventually caused him to lose his daughter Mia Nerro in a terrifying accident. Seeking to bring her back from Abaddon, Dimitri organized for years a dark, ritualistic ceremony that would allow Mia to be returned to life - unknowing that Mia was still alive and manipulating him to gain more power.

Disguising said ritual as a tournament, Dimitri invited unwitting victims in order to sacrifice them to Mia and Abaddon. At the apex of his ritual, Dimitri chose to serve as a sacrifice himself by fighting against tournament survivor Melysandre Yuka, almost defeating her but eventually faltering and dying in front of a smiling Mia. He would later be restored, and rejoice upon reuniting with his purified daughter.

## Appearance

Dimitri is a silver-haired, middle-aged man with dark brown eyes, dressed in an elegant, black nobleman's costume.

## Personality

While at first looking like a benign, sympathetic old man, Dimitri is in fact obsessively trying to resurrect his lost daughter, sacrificing everything - his wealth, his reputation, his guests, innocent bystanders and even his own life - just to see her once more. Maddened by his loss, Dimitri is a desperate occultist who nevertheless still shows a prodigious aptitude for manipulation and tactics.

## Decks

## Trivia

* Nerro is a corruption of the word meaning "Black".

## Description

The Dark Tapestry has no understandable morphology or geometry. It has no purpose, no meaning and no logic. It exists equally between all Timelines and Planes. Its native inhabitants are chaotic and include Mi-go, Shoggothi and similarly alien beings.

It cannot be affected by standard magic, and as such can only be interacted with through magic such as Hedrons and the Necronomicon.

It can be worshipped as a deity, and grants Divine Magic of madness and chaos.

## Trivia

* Its inhabitants are inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft.
Carcinus

A **Carcinus** - plural **Carcini** - is an abomination born from immortal matter.

## Description

Carcini possess constantly mutating pitch-black bodies, toothless maws, and are mostly eyeless. They are only driven by the single-minded instinct to live - even if it means consuming everything on their path, even each other. They vary in shape and size and can quickly change it in order to accommodate to different enemies or situations.

Most Carcini are born of The Spring. They are especially displeasing to people born from the Melody, as they possess similar origins but different structures, causing Carcini to appear as atrocious, discordant existences to those who communicate through said Melody.

## Trivia

* It is Latin for "Crab" and hints to cancer, of which it is a metaphor.
