Myriad is a place where history and secrets intertwine. Uncover the hidden mysteries and legends that make up Myriad as we delve into the nine worlds of the Starlight Path.
Bartholomew Amias Spark is known throughout Myriad as The Navigator and Lord of Adventure. As the inventor of the Temporal Gateways, along with numerous space routes, he is renowned for connecting the nine worlds. But not all applaud his accomplishments, and many in the past have accused him of using his intelligence and power for personal gain.
Bartholomew was born on Prosperia in the Palace of Prosperity, the youngest of his siblings and the most curious. His appetite for knowledge grew as he did. He found a fascination with The Core and committed to finding a way to it. After years of experimentation and endeavours, he finally discovered a method using a rudimentary design, but it was a one-way system. He ultimately made the choice to leave, accepting that he may never be able to return.
On The Core, he stumbled on a paradise beyond his wildest dreams, and embarked on researching everything he could. This led to his most significant breakthrough: The Core was sentient.

For years, he aspired to talk with the planet, conducting experiment after experiment until he came under threat from a storm. Bartholomew acted swiftly and managed to rescue the majority of the animals and critters, using his own magic and braving the worst of the deluge to defend them. Among the creatures he saved were Spirits of The Core. For his bravery and kindness, they gifted him the ability to communicate directly with the world he had made his home.
From his laboratory, he had the perfect view of the sky, and every night would watch the other worlds of Myriad. Determined to visit each one, he worked on his initial transportation design, and with an infusion of magic from The Core, built the first Temporal Gateway.
His adventures took him all over as he connected each realm in turn and gathered knowledge, but the biggest war Myriad had ever known put a stop to his expeditions. Years of fighting and millions upon millions of losses devastated the civilisations he cherished. With the enemy growing in number and the outcome looking bleak, he trapped as many of the monsters he could inside rifts, but it still wasn't enough. Ultimately, he sealed the gateways and space routes, and lured the remaining attackers to The Core where he settled himself and the central world into a deep sleep, using every ounce of their combined magic and energy to defeat them in a razing pulse. His plan worked, but what was supposed to be a brief rest turned into a three-hundred year slumber. When he woke, the state of Myriad was very different.
