Lorekeepers Mythos

In the beginning...

There was emptiness. Within the emptiness, there were only two things: Time, and Void. Time flowed ever freely without purpose while the Void ruled the emptiness like a miasma. Then with Time, things started to appear.

They occupied the emptiness with all of creation causing the Void to recede. As more of creation kept popping into existence, the Void was angered for the loss over its domain and sought to destroy everything. Then just like all things, a guardian was formed to watch over creation, this was the Mithel_Celestia.

Tasked with guarding the realms from the Void's influence, they created the Reality Helix: an Aetherial artifact that has the power to keep the Void at bay.

After the matrix was made, the Mithel_Celestia split their soul into multiple entities to help watch over the different realms created as a result of the Reality Helix, these are the Lorekeepers.

The Lorekeepers are an order of ethereal beings tasked with watching over the other-realms. Overtime, some Lorekeepers have gained the power for creation and have started expanding the realms with new dimensions, these are the Arch Lorekeepers. They are responsible with keeping the realms' timeline flowing as dictated by the Reality Helix. Because their duties have made them more busy, the realms they help create still need to be supervised by the lower Lorekeeper ranks. The Mithel_Celestia leads these ranks as the Grand Lorekeeper and supervises the order to ensure that nothing is out place.

Sometimes however the Voids influence still leak through the watchful eyes of the Lorekeepers. In the realms, the Void is seen as an ink-black smoke but it is in actuality a shadow of the Void that doesn't let anything escape its grasp. The Void is a natural property. Like the very forces of nature, it seeks to return to a stable state by overwhelming all of creation that had occupied its original soace. But to let the Void take over tips the balance and so the Lorekeepers are there to push back against Void. The Reality Helix helps clear the realm of any Void influence and returns all that was consumed back to its rightful place.

Still the other-realms aren't the only thing the Void can influence. If a Lorekeeper has a weakened soul, the void can take them over and they become a slave to its temptation. These are the Voidtouched that have been forsaken and exiled from order. All the Voidtouched sees is eternal peace; peace within the Void where there are no emotions, no desires, no things to disrupt the peace. If a Lorekeeper gets strongly attached to the universe it guards, it can cause them to gain mortal emotions and weaken their soul, allowing the Void to easily influence them.

One such Lorekeeper that had been forsaken was Omen. Omen used to be an Arch Lorekeeper and apprentice to the Mithel_Celestia; keeping watch over the dimension he was assigned to and helping create various Other-realms. But he got too involved in those dimension and had an affair with a mortal. The moment a rift opened in their dimension, it was far too strong to contain and the Lorekeepers had no choice but to terminate it entirely. Omen pleaded with them to use the Reality Helix to contain the distortion but at this dangerous stage it was far too risky and could jeopardize the integrity of every other realm. In the end the realm got consumed and all that Omen had worked for vanished with it.

After that, Omen swore revenge over the Lorekeepers hypocrisy and destroy any dimension he can get his hands on. Omen had been influenced by The Void to exact its revenge.
