-Zein Thousandhand 28-15 Hope Forgotten (II) The Hungers raged, spewing venom with each word. They arrived like a storm cloud forming over the court. With the recession of the Heaven of Truth's cosmology, a swelling patch of darkness pooled above, forming a third boundary between Veylis's paths and the Stormsparrow's stage. The swirling maw of darkness twisted and splashed, like waves displaced by an emerging mountain. The first ridges of the City Eternal presented themselves. Dragons cycled through…-

-Zein Thousandhand 28-15 Hope A node of Jaus Avandaer. How impossible. And yet, how very The Famine of Mercy peered through the threshold of the deep nether and watched the scene unfold. He hid his perception within his lesser selves. The nodes of Peace, Emotion, and Joy gathered like small cells surrounding the radiant cycles of autophagic dragons. Outrage suffused the Hungers, enough to strangle a mind down to nothingness. Jaus’ return, more than anything else, was a moment unforeseen. But…

-Wahakten, Priest of the Eternal City 28-14 An exploding star could scour worlds; a relavistically accelerated planet could turn anything of mundane matter into cosmic dust; a rogue singularity could drink entire stellar systems hollow of light, force, matter, space, and time. Any of these forces would have been enough to scour the Warrens clean. Any of these forces would have inflicted unfathomable destruction across Idheim itself. But they were also casual miracles birthed within the Gatekeeper's…

-Quail Tavers, Singularities (I) War was the act of attempting to impose order upon the foundations of worsening chaos, and this was by far the most chaotic fight Avo ever found himself involved in. Veylis’ drew more Saintist Godclads into her paths while manifesting calamities and flinging golems at the Paladin’s temporal shield. Avo countered by releasing two Spatial Rendbombs just past the threshold. The relative distance between objects and entities distended as if the space between them was…

-Thoughtcast from Hungers to All Surviving Famines 28-13 Stunned murmurs spread across Avo’s Soulscape. No one was prepared for such a whiplash-inducing change in Jaus. One moment, the man was the embodiment of purest nobility. Now, he was demanding the death of untold billions. Avo, however, found himself concerned with another distressing detail. Jaus paused, his expression unreadable. He sighed, a deep rumble of regret coloring his tone. A faint rumble of anger entered Jaus' voice as he held…

-Veylis Avandaer 28-12 Lover’s Quarrel (V) Jaus Avandaer. Savior of Idheim. Godbreaker. Betrayer. Murderer of Pantheons. Father of the Ensouled. By feat or legend, all knew Jaus, and his manifestation within Avo's Soulscape drew a crowd unlike any other. The faintness of his form came together at the center of an intersection. The world around him was a dreamlike expanse, burning megablocks stacked right up against each other. This was an architecture connected by dilapidated bridges and…

-An Unsent Thoughtcast from Jaus Avandaer 28-12 Lover’s Quarrel (IV) A dreaming flame rose to greet the corpse of Falling Love, and as Avo ascended, New Vultun collapsed under the first shots of the Fifth Guild War. Far above the Tiers, he had a full view of the alloyed steps that composed the core of New Vultun. Accretions dotted the sprawl of megabuildings, stretching even along the curve of the horizon. Of the countless billions who lived in the Tiers, few were prepared to face their coming…

-Emergency Thoughtcast from Ori-Thaum Inner Council 28-12 Lover’s Quarrel (III) Avo thought he knew the devastation a Godclad could bring once they entered the highest spheres. Even as a Third Sphere, he was capable of dashing at lightning speeds while bearing 80 tons of mass. The destruction he left in his wake could carve cataclysmic scars wrought from sheer velocity and displaced kinetic energy. Likewise, Shotin’s Parallelist could draw someone into a realm of pure fire or condemn them to…

-Lines Overheard from the Stormsparrow’s Chorus of Eternity 28-12 Zein's glaive bit deep into the High Seraph's skull, but from the wounds spilled time, wrapping around the weapon in coalescing golden currents. At once, the High Seraph's avatar came undone, its body dissolving in flows of gold, its miracles tumbling back like a current returning to the sea. But escape was impossible, for Akusande, the dragon-glaive, carried the fated blow onward, chasing the golden tides and carving a bridge through…

-Akusande 28-12 Lover’s Quarrel (I) Through countless bodies, across a myriad of perspectives, Avo beheld the skies over the Tiers as growing ruptures began to spread. 15,622 demiplanes were used to seal the fallen Heaven of Love away from the rest of reality. Of all these demiplanes, Today, however, these planes collapsed. They did not rupture themselves; rather, they were disabled. It was like removing the stitches from an unhealed wound. Clamps of spatial reality loosened and melded with baseline…
