===== As written by Orde =====
== And finished by the Trinities ==
=======================
=========================================
============= BEFORE MIND =============
=========================================
The story is the same for all universes, dimensions and realms, as all began the same way.
At first there was a void of nothing, with no defining energy, matter or dimensions.
Then came the chaos, a jumbled mixture of all that can or might be.
Then came the order, to bring form to the chaos. From the order came
the First Ones, the creators. They were the mothers and fathers of all
things, bigger than universes and other created things that they made
and gave names to.
In repulsion or opposition to this creativity, the chaos spurted forth
the Old Ones, the destroyers whose only ambition was to destroy all
order and any creations that the First Ones made in a storm of wanton
annihilation.
One of the First Ones made Mind, one of the Old Ones twice tried to destroy it. This is the tale of those things.
=========================================
============= THE ERA OF BLISS =============
=========================================
0,1,1
Orde was created by a force of Order, one of the First Ones. From the
heaving eternal battles between the forces of Chaos and Order.
0,2,1
Protected from the outside by three membranes, woven around him for protection from the destructive black Old Ones.
A globe of pure white order.
0,3,1
He existed in a state of perfection for millennia. This was the Bliss Era.
0,4,1
He contemplated the future and dreamt of the beautiful children he
would bear from his own loins and of the empires he would forge, but it
was not to be.
=========================================
============= THE ERA OF ORDE'S DISEASE =============
=========================================
1,1,1 A force of chaos and an initiator of destruction, an Old
One, living beyond the boundaries of Mind, was filled with black
thoughts as to jealousy and hatred in mortal minds. The contentment of
Orde repulsed this creature and it clutched at the protective membranes
and pierced them with twisted limbs then infected him with the
unbalance. Thus started the Time of Unrest.
1,1,2 Orde writhed in agony and his mind contorted and was
twisted by the evil infection that gripped his very mind and soul. He
screamed for centuries in his close personal hell.
-------------------------------------------
1,2,1 This disease eventually resulted in massive fluctuations
of the internal power streams of Orde and the liberation of colours of
his thought processes into diseased symptoms. Diseased and pained, his
psyche contorted grossly.
1,2,2 Orde became full of red-hot anger and madness from the
disease, a blistering red bloody explosion ripped out of the side of
Orde into a myriad of living fleshy pieces. They became conscious and
writhed and gained long cylindrical and were named Wurm by Orde. Their
number was fourteen.
1,2,3 The largest quickly dominated the others and became most
powerful by taking the power from his fourteen other brethren and was a
Wurm no longer and was named Wrathon who was spiky red and monstrous,
in the appearance of a crowned, limbed serpent King. He sucked power
and removed strength from his siblings and grew even larger than the
others. Orde was scared of these offspring but glad that part of the
unbalance was removed from his system.
1,2,4 Again he felt the effects of his terrible disease and he
became fitful and filled with manic fits. His flesh began to bulge on
one side into a throbbing yellow boil that erupted, ejecting a brightly
shining yellow cloud from his side. This condensed and was Manicus who
was a lumpy yellow glowing creature, of the appearance of an
agglomerate of nuggets of pure sunshine, who had bright sunny eyes and
teeth like yellow pearls.
1,2,5 Wrathon grew angry towards Manicus, as he was different
and better bonded friendly to Orde. Manicus had an uneven but good
relationship with Orde and stayed close by to him and helped to ease
his suffering from the illness of his body.
-------------------------------------------
1,3,1 Wrathon named his lieutenant brother, Eeltravitch who was
a strong wurm; Fagarorph was next in size and rank who was an extremely
long wurm. Of their kin the next strongest were Nuggrel the replete and
Slivveris the thin.
1,3,2 Orde convulsed for the last time from his disease and a
weird green squiggly cloud was expulsed that shrank together and formed
Sortha. This process was helped along by Manicus, who nursed Orde and
made sure that all remaining unbalance was extracted from Orde, who was
made healthy. This made Sortha more powerful than Manicus and the other
wurms except Wrathon who was strong from leaching energy from his kin.
=========================================
============= THE RED ERA =============
=========================================
2,1,1 Wrathon looked upon his three bright non-wurm kin with
envy for their strength and plotted against them with envious eyes.
Wrathon with Eeltravitch and Fagarorph dominated the other eleven minor
wurms and commanded them when they attacked Manicus, Orde and Sortha;
they took much power from both Manicus and chased them away to far
corners of Mind. This dominance of red power was called the Red Era.
2,1,2 Wrathon and his two seniors attacked and tortured Orde
for many centuries demanding to secrets of knowledge and power; they
most desired the secrets of creation and conceiving new life.
Eventually he had to cave and gave over many secrets to Wrathon. Who
then taught the knowledge of breeding to the two Wurm Lords, who mated
with their eleven lesser kin and had many litters of children to
populate the entire Mind of the Red Era.
-------------------------------------------
2,2,1 Wrathon spoke some of his newly acquired secrets to
Eeltravitch and Fagarorph, the Wurm Lords, who mated with the other
worms to create an army of wurms with which to serve Wrathon their
King. But he kept these secrets from Slivveris who was angry and
demanded thus from Wrathon who said "You did not help when we took
command, nor when we took of the knowledge I now have from Orde".
2,2,2 Eeltravitch the Elder took Nuggrel the replete as his
firstmate and she conceived of him and bore children twenty times who
were the Big Wurm Brood. Wrathon blessed the children and was pleased
and granted Eeltravitch three more mates: Chooneth the slim, Schovett
the stealthy and Thoosize the strong. Of these mistresses Eeltravitch
bore many litters of children who were named the reddest Brood by
Wrathon.
2,2,3 Fagarorph the Mileworm was also granted wives, of lesser
power then Eeltravitch's: Sheelan and Vooschi, Musthu, Goolass and
Kashu and Maphood the Wily. They bore him spawn many times and their
numbers were many in races of Long Wurm and Loop Wurm. Though Maphood
bore none for she was not happy with her chosen husband and mate so
took the seduces of Slivveris the Sly after the Red War and left
Fagarorph who mourned his loss not for he loved his other wives and
children greatly.
2,2,4 Wrathon conceived of a plan with his new powers, he
decided he would create a new order by creating a high mother to give
rise to many individuals who were weak but in vast numbers. He took
from his own flesh and crafted a ripe female form, the brown-bodied
Maturnae, the mother.
-------------------------------------------
2,3,1 Sortha saw the wurms and realised there were new numbers
and wanted to find the secret of reproduction. She managed to trap a
few minor wurms but they new nothing except that the knowledge came
from Orde. She couldn't reach Orde who was guarded by the new minions
of the Wurm.
2,3,2 Sortha invented the arts of magic and enchantments, with
which she could see the future and saw across distances too. She used
her new power of Sight to spy on Wrathon always, and learnt that he
knew the gift of child bearing, this secret she prized but could not
decipher the process from what she saw using her magical second sight.
2,3,3 She spun cloaks of invisibility around her body and
muffled her feet. Then the sorceress crept to the deepest Wurm land and
from there to the harem of Fagarorph. Where she espied their mating
rituals. Fagarorph left his family and eventually Sortha saw her chance
when the guards changed. Casting aside her camouflage she captured a
mistress with woven strings from her fingers. Then she cast a worming
hole with which to make good her escape.
2,3,4 She kidnapped Vooschi, one of the first wurms and a
concubine of Eeltravitch who she tortured and killed for the knowledge
she knew. But the great sorceress didn't learn all she desired as the
three dominants kept as much knowledge from their underlings and
concubines as possible. Fagarorph mourned the loss of his beloved and
demanded retribution. Wrathon decided to strike with his forces to seek
out and destroy his siblings.
2,3,5 Unsure whether the process of reproduction would prove
successful with the limited knowledge she attained, Sortha told Manicus
what she knew of the secrets of creation and talked him into producing
a child. He agreed then tried to create life from his own body and made
Menchost but though lack of control as Sortha knew not enough, she
became twisted and dark during the uncontrolled creation process. Then
became the direct opposite in nature and personality of golden Manicus
- blue and stuffy, a droopy depressing slug. Learning from Manicus's
mistakes, Sortha reasoned that she required a power to control the
creative forces.
-------------------------------------------
2,4,1 Sortha, using her new powers, created three orbs. The
first was largest and she split into four Elementals who would provide
creation and stability; the second was smaller and she halved it into
two puritans, light/dark opposites, to create destruction and change;
she divided the third and smallest into three humanoids to provide
control and balance.
2,4,2 Their names were nine, of the four elementals the earth
power was Terra, the air was Atmos, the fire was Hades, the water was
Aqua; the puritans had two names, the dark Erebus and bright Aether; of
the three names of the humanoids were Mardraiss the Witch, Ickthon the
Warlock and Gandron the Wizard.
2,4,3 Together these were the Nine Mages and they defended
Sortha and her brother Manicus from the wurm and forced them from their
territory. Wrathon was angered by the loss of some of his warriors
especially Vooschi the mate of Fagarorph and started a battle with the
mages with his wurms. This was the start of The Red War.
-------------------------------------------
2,5,1 Orde saw his chance and ran from Wrathon whilst he was
distracted by this campaign and reduced the guard on his captive
father; and he created his one and only natural child, he made it
powerful in potential but didn't have enough power to form him fully.
2,5,2 He decided to hide Foebro outside the inner sanctuary of
Mind. He surrounded its delicate form in protective Amnion, fixed it to
a tubular Umbilic to bind it to the Placentoid that he created to take
energy from the fabric of Mind itself and grow for many eras until it
is fully grown and ready to take control of Mind from the disease born
things within.
-------------------------------------------
2,6,1 Wrathon became angry at Orde's escape, though ignorant of
Foebro's existence. And he discovered from what he saw in the battles
and of the Nine that Sortha must have newfound knowledge from Vooschi
and invented great power with which to help her create. He decided to
forge an ultimate warrior-child to lead a great new army to destroy the
mages and with which to rule the Wurm more strongly.
2,6,2 He left his great empire and walked beyond the known inner
membrane. He walked the Mind and came to the boundaries of all Mind
where he stared out into the void and thought of great powerful beings
that must battle to destroy and create universes out beyond the
confines of the Mind's membranes. He called out with all his strength
and the chaotic being that was the cause of his birth and the disease
of his forefather noticed him.
2,6,3 It came with the notion of giving him power laughing as it
did so, knowing that this power would be used to cause the death of
Mind from within, which he could not act from without.
2,6,4 Wrathon took this power hungrily and in a fit of rage he
violently tore a huge chunk from his own flesh and injected it with all
his acquired black energy that he name Chaotik. The droplets of blood
that were leased from this gaping wound he forged into a new race - The
Craknoids who first generation numbered seventeen whose spawn would be
the army he would lead. As the blackness of Wrathon fell from him into
his creations he realised the grave disaster that he had seeded.
-------------------------------------------
2,7,1 The Serpent King charged Chaotik to a premature frontal
attack in the hope that he would die in the face a much greater foe.
This attack was upon Sortha, Manicus, the Mages and the few thaumatic
children they had already begat.
2,7,2 At first Chaotik directed all his energies towards the
mages and eventually managed to kill Sortha. She knew her death was
imminent and prepared her body so that the great reserves of mana
within her would be released and readily usable by her descendants that
she knew she would have. Much of her body's power drifted outside the
innermost membrane of Mind but was still claimable to her descendants
via the Leviathan guardians that live within it.
2,7,3 The Mages and their kin then disappeared and hid within
the green magical swirls of Sortha's corpse to make Chaotik think he
had won, this caused Chaotik to make good his retreat home to his
father.
-------------------------------------------
2,8,1 Wrathon became angry that Chaotik had not completely wiped
out the mages and was not himself destroyed, but he saw that a great
many of the black army was gone so decided to attack him. In a black
and long combat Chaotik killed his father. The wurm were forced to
retreat from their territories and many of their armies and races fell
to Craknoid claws. As he died the Red Lord spoketh one last time "You
are the instrument of destruction, Black One and have chaos deep in
your soul that will destroy you and many others if not all of Mind
itself. I hope my red blood that fills your veins will go towards
keeping you restricted from total catastrophe"
2,8,2 Some wurm survived elsewhere from the Red Mists -
surviving Tube Wurms became White Desert Wurm within their white
machinated refuge, and some members of the Serpent race were welcomed
by their once enemies - the Magicians of the Green Swirls to become
Green Serpents and the ancestors of the Dragon.
2,8,3 Maturnae hid within the Cadavae of Redness along with the
remnants of the wurm armies - led by Eeltravitch and Fagarorph who had
lost several mates including Nuggrel who were felled by the personal
hands of Chaotik and his most strong warrior brother of the name
Klucatuk.
2,8,4 With his armies unable to penetrate the red mists of the
dead body of Wrathon, Chaotik's face turned to the light of Orde and
destroyed him in a berserk storm of destruction that released a great
flash of pure white order that killed many Craknoid troops and changed
Chaotik's form forever this caused the short-lived retreat of Chaotik
and ended the Red War forever.
2,8,5 He killed him by stabbing him deep into his soul and
tipping the balance that destroyed the first being of Mind. Orde's
psyche slowly dispersed and some elements of his psyche became life
forces in their own rights, six Trinities, and many Emotions and Mind
States. Most Mind States and Emotions fled to join the Mages. Some
others fled to the Red Mists to join Eeltravitch. The
Recopia Memba lifted upwards together from the surface of Orde's corpse
revealing the Puralba Ordorum Machinary.
=========================================
============ THE BLACK ERA ============
=========================================
3,1,1 Thus started the Black Era and the corpses of Wrathon and
Sortha slowly dispersed. And the bodies of the dead wurm lay thick on
the ground. Fearing her life Maturnae fled into the misty corpse of
Wrathon, the Rubula Furor, where she gave birth to the first of the
Multea races - the Rou Multea in respect for Wrathon, though not what
Wrathon planned for her children to be.
3,1,2 Not being a naturally creative being he did not spawn
children to increase his seed, but to rid his body of the red blood he
inherited from his father, and to make his soul completely black as he
remembered the dying words of his father as he slew him. From each of
his minions he also removed the redness and formed the race of
Trichords.
3,1,3 His children he named Regina, Regnum and Imperator and he
charged them to extract knowledge and power from the corpse of Orde as
he nor his Craknoid minions could impregnate the whiteness of his dead
body.
-------------------------------------------
3,2,1 The Mages and their offspring regrouped in secret within
the swirling corpse of Sortha, the Vivitorq Mirus and began to create
their own races. Manicus took refuge with them and gave birth to his
more successful children Mama then Cod then Yappa which were like in
the image of Manicus unlike Menchost who he rejected as his son.
3,2,2 First Manicus conceived Maroh then Coda whose embryo was
absorbed into Mama's virgin flesh. Mama was then born with Cod her
brother growing within her own body. Yappa was then born unto Manicus.
Coda grew within the womb of
Maroh until she reached adolescence and gave life to her own brother
who was forever stinted and closely bonded to his sister. Thus the
three yellow aethu were made.
3,2,3 Menchost ran from this life totally different from him and
disappeared to a distant part of Mind. He gave rise to
Sacadas to keep him company then Lennea and Pangu who were to create
new life of their choosing and not bound to the depressing blue force
he felt cursed with.
-------------------------------------------
3,3 SCROLLS OF THE GREAT TRAVELLOR ZANTHIS OF THE RACE OF HYBRID HUMANOIDS
3,3,1 I walked from my land to find a Leviathan for a carrier.
Titus answered my call and I told him of my plan. We span warp holes
and frictionless tunnels to speed our long way. I had stored much mana
for the journey I would take. We used a worming tunnel to penetrate the
mid-membrane without damaging it then entered the raw magic power
beyond. After many years travel we came to the end of the Mana Plume. I
stared out beyond with my giant steed and this is what I saw.
3,3,2 Beneath me a noticed first was the fibrous transparency of
the middle membrane of Mind; through this I saw blueness rolling in a
great suffocating cloud. This must be the grave of Menchost, one of the
ancients.
3,3,3 Peering beyond I could see the innermost membrane. Beneath
it was a curved white sheet made of square partitioned material I
assumed was the legendary
Recopia Memba.
3,3,4 Sunk into the membrane above the great banks was the red
fleshy glowing Placentoid that out people had deducted from scryers to
feed an embryonic being along a long rope-like
Umbilic, that is moist likely to be a child of Orde but this cannot be
ascertained as it is protected by hiding forces. This being with it's
protective womb was affixed to the inside surface of the middle
membrane.
3,3,5 Beyond the glowing umbilical red rope was a giant orb of
pure blackness as if a hole was cut out of reality into the void of old
times. This, I knew, was the Oblivion, a fragment of the black
destroyer. Its only function was to suck pieces of information from the
memory of Orde and destroy them forever.
3,3,6 I looked immediately upwards and saw the outermost
membrane that protected Mind from the ageless dark titanic beings that
stalked the chaos and once threatened our world freely. But now it was
cloudy, milky white and strengthened by the Trinities that Orde made to
protect us.
3,3,7 At last I allowed my eyes to fall upon the main object for
my travels. The Multea Dimension was a rarefied bulb sprouting from the
central Mind. At it's wispy limits it seemed larger than the entirety
of inner mind though I know it to be an illusion as the majority of the
volume was only hospitable to the large ones that we could detect even
far back in the Magic Lands.
3,3,8 for the first time since my visit to the Green-black void
I was within a magicless space. After several days of seeing the M
dimension appear to grow all about me I espied my first Marauder.
3,3,9 He rumbled across the membri-threads and wove for me an
epic and enthralling history of his people and sister breeds. It lasted
several days before I swore an oath never to reveal them to another
soul: "I vow to you Mubda of the race of Marauder Multea that I,
Zanthis shall never disclose, even to my most beloved, the secrets of
your people and their history even until I am long dead. People shall
ever wonder what I learned. I shall also deny the trespass of any of my
descendants and their subservients to your land." And now I close my
eyes for the last time and feel the kiss of Thanatos who visits us all
in the end.
-------------------------------------------
3,4,1 Tired of his inability to penetrate the Red Mists, Chaotik
empowered Slivveris - a bitter but strong lesser brother to Eeltravitch
who was displeased that Wrathon never gave him the secrets of creating.
3,4,2 Using this power he gained a powerful mate of Maeniss and
seduced then kidnapped Maphood, a mate of Fagarorph who told him all he
desired then mated her to create a powerful army of Tendrilic Wurms.
3,4,3 He used these to drive many wurms outside of the Red Mists
where the Craknoids attacked them viscously. The tube, spine and long
wurms came out worst.
3,4,4 Survivors of Spine serpents were bred into Grey Wurms and
those remaining of the Long Wurms were corrupted into Black Serpents,
which became new legions for Chaotik, capable of existing within the
Red Mists and carrying the wrath of Chaotik to the deep sanctuaries of
the Wurm.
3,4,5 The Black Snakes and Grey Wurms were finally crushed by
the superior and underestimated armies of Red Wurm, although Fagarorph
died on the battlefield. The Survivors fled to the site of the future
Wrathic Border. Before his death, Slivveris bred the Tangle Doodle from
the long Wurms which infested the north of the Red Mists causing the
Red Wurm to lose access to their northern range.
-------------------------------------------
3,5,1 A small army of Craknoids on a spying mission, sneaked
around and killed Menchost who's dead flesh grew into the Lividiga
Tristita this was uninhabitable even by most of her children who formed
empires outside the fog.
3,5,2 With revenge in their heads about the murder of their
mother, and the fresh slaughter of Menchost, the Mages used their
newfound powers and races to wage war against Chaotik, The Black War.
3,5,3 The Trinities finally became powerful enough within Orde's
hollow body and decided to strike against the Black Ones. They form the
white army with all the white Aeutoe. They trapped the three children
of Chaotik and managed to purify them as they contained vast amounts of
red blood.
3,5,4 Chaotik struck out with a vast army including black snakes
he had bred from wurms, he stormed the house of Manicus and managed to
kill him, but this army was surrounded and mostly destroyed.
3,5,5 Chaotik was finally killed by a combination of the
strengths of the Mages leading their green offspring and the Trinities
leading the White Army. Also destroyed were Slivveris and much of the
multitude of the Tendrilic wurm. The black ones scarcely survived in
remote edges near the dead body of Chaotik. Thus ended the Black War.
