That We Know
The Four Stars
From time immemorial, the sky held only four stars: the life-giving Sun and three distant sister planets, fixed in an endless dark. Humanity believed it was alone. The void beyond was assumed to be desolate, empty, and permanent.
The Origin Stone
The Origin Stone is a cosmic vessel whose surface protects the memories of what has been, what is, and what may yet be. It remembers what reality has forgotten. To touch it is to reach into living memory itself.
Channelers
Channelers are those who have learned to reach into the Origin Stone — to recover knowledge from the past and strengthen the present. Great Channelers can commune directly with the Stone, accessing the memories of entire worlds.
Archspirits
Through the Origin Stone, Channelers connect with Archspirits: mighty beings of ages past whose memories, worlds, experiences, and powers can be temporarily revived. To channel an Archspirit is to revive a world for one decisive moment.
Terramorpha
Channelers use Terramorpha to shape constructed mindscape worlds — bringing lands, paths, and battlefields into being through thought and will. The terrain obeys. Every tile of the mindscape is an act of intention.
That We Do Not
The Unknown Entity
During one communion, the player encounters an unknown corrosive entity deep within the Origin Stone. It attacks through psychic space with strange spirits, impossible powers, and violence from lands never seen. It should not exist.
Survival
The Channeler forms defensive worlds, summons Archspirits, sacrifices spirits to fuel growth, and reshapes terrain mid-conflict. Victory forces the entity back. But the mindscape is changed.
The Fifth Star
The trance breaks. The night sky now holds a fifth star — a new planet that should not exist, yet does. Other Channelers begin encountering the same menace. Every fight in the mindscape, even a loss, creates another star in the night sky.
Your Role
What began as survival becomes hope. The endless void can be undone. The sky can be filled with worlds. The lost experiences beyond the Origin Stone can be restored.
Every battle in the mindscape leaves a light in the sky.
You are a Channeler. Channel the Archspirits. Shape the mindscape. Fight the menace. Restore worlds to the sky. Turn every battle into a testament of will.
