  • Emergence of unified reality candidate: Ultimatera

I. Pre-History

Primordial Era — Foundations of Reality

  • Establishment of baseline cosmological laws
  • Formation of harmonic resonance as the structural underpinning of existence
  • Emergence of metaphysical strata separating realms

The Harmonic Genesis

Creation of reality through harmonic frequency alignment. Establishment of resonance as the governing force behind magic, identity, narrative continuity, and realm stability.

Early Magic Divergence

Separation of magic into localized interpretive systems:

Realization of the Existence of Lodesouls

Identification of singular beings whose existence anchors reality. Recognition that Lodesouls influence narrative gravity, and their removal or displacement destabilizes realms.

II. Mythic Civilization Era

Rise of Lost Realms

Rise of advanced magical civilizations across multiple realms. Development of guardian-protected relic systems.

Emergence of mythic territories including Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, Agartha, Avalon, Shangri-La, Shambhala, and the Seven Cities of Cíbola.

Formation of the Akashic Record

Manifestation of universal informational archive. Guardians established across mythic convergence realms. Akashic access restricted to harmonic resonance pathways.

III. Nexsicon Arc 1

Nexsican Scientific Awakening

Nexsicon becomes the primary hub of inter-realm magical science. Establishment of harmonic quantification research.

Development of Cymora Magic

  • Creation of structured harmonic language for magic casting
  • Standardization of Lúmenail Harmonic measurement
  • Codification of spell architecture

The Lodesoul Theorem Proposed

Scholars conclude that Lodesouls anchor reality, and their removal destabilizes universes.

Nexsican Counter-Theory Discovery

A Nexsican scientist proposes Lodesouls are conduits instead of anchors:

  • Lodesoul removal does not immediately destroy realms
  • Lodesouls draw realms toward convergence when displaced
  • Lodesouls regenerate or transfer upon destruction
Experimental Proof: Scientist's daughter summons a Lodesoul from a non-magical realm. Realm merging occurs. Mythical civilizations re-materialize. Scientist does not reveal findings due to fear of repercussions. Counter-theory remains fringe until later events validate it.

Nexsican Ban on Lodesoul Research

Nexsican officials explictly forbid any research or experimentation on Lodesouls.

  • Enforcable with harsh penalties
  • Science goes into hiding
  • Eventually scientist disappears entirely, leading to rumors they were silenced permanantly
Unsatisfied with the official Nexsican stance, daughter quietly picks up the mantle and begins research anew, also seeking to reunite with her father.

Formation of Praxis Verax Affinas

Praxis Verax Affinas forms as a multiversal research and stabilization organization.

Primary Objectives: Study Lodesouls, control realm convergence, prevent universal collapse, monitor cross-realm anomalies.
