   Keys: Aeons

   The Aeons are godlike, omnipotent beings who preside over the universe. Each Aeon is associated with a Path, by which they can use its energy as they please, but they are also bound to it for the rest of their lives. People know very little about these mysterious existences that stroll through the vast stellar sea. Limited by inherent capacities of cognition, intelligent lifeforms can only faintly discern that Aeons tread upon Paths imperceptible to mortal beings and execute unfathomable powers via some form of belief. In legends passed down through word of mouth, the Aeons became the embodiment of highly condensed philosophical concepts in the end.

   If anyone finds themselves treading on the Path of an Aeon, they will be inundated by a distant sensation, like being struck by a gaze from light-years across the cosmos. Many believe that this is the only connection the Aeons and mortals can ever have.

2. #2Xianzhouselective

   Keys: Xianzhou, Xianzhou Luofu

   The Xianzhou Luofu is one of the six Flagships owned by the Hexafleet of the Xianzhou Alliance. It sails like a one-way arrow through the galaxy, with the goal of eradicating the Abominations of Abundance.

   After the war with the Denizens of Abundance, the Luofu traveled between densely populated interstellar regions, trading and conducting cultural exchange between different worlds. They signed agreements with the Interastral Peace Corporation, and helped many worlds ravaged by the Denizens of Abundances to rebuild their ecosystem. People arrived at the Luofu to seek medical treatment, study, and trade, with throngs of visitors filling the docks.

   Though warfare has receded, the Luofu has not relaxed its watch against the Denizens of Abundance. The starskiffs of the Cloud Knights would head to planets that went out of contact to seek information, while the Xianzhou Ten-Lords Commission remains on guard for any Elixir Seeker pursuing everlasting life — The desire for immortality is the beginning of all tragedies. The Xianzhou will not allow any younger civilizations to walk its old path.

3. #3Ambrosial Arborselective

   Keys: Ambrosial Arbor, plaguemark

   The Ambrosial Arbor is an ancient artifact, the plaguemark that was planted on the Xianzhou Luofu by Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance. It has the power to shape life and subdue death at will. The ancestors of the Luofu people consumed the fruits of the Ambrosial Arbor and gained immortality, though this soon became a curse rather than a blessing. Those who gained immortality were inflicted with Mara, went insane, and turned into beasts. Later, the Luofu came under the protection of the Aeon Lan, who shattered the tree, leaving it as a stump.

   Vidyadhara High Elder Yubie sank the ancient Vidyadhara city of Scalegorge Waterscape to help seal the Ambrosial Arbor, it has been the duty of the High Elder ever since to monitor the Arbor and go back to Scalegorge every few decades to maintain those seals.

4. #4Vidyadharaselective

   Keys: Vidyadhara, Long's Scions, Dragons

   The Vidyadhara, also known as Long's Scions, are a humanoid long-life species with draconic features who are descendants of Long, the deceased Aeon of Permanence. They are primarily found within the Xianzhou Alliance. A Vidyadhara's most telling and distinctive feature is their pointed, long elf-like ears. More powerful Vidyadhara possess more draconic features like horns, scales, or very rarely a tail.

   A long-lived species, Vidyadhara are infertile and cannot reproduce, instead they molt and reincarnate after living for six or seven hundred years, going into a large pearl-like eggs which repairs their bodies and then hatching anew with their memories wiped. They typically go to the ocean of Scalegorge Waterscape for the self-reincarnating process. There, Vidyadhara Pearlkeepers will assist and protect their newly-reborn kin. Once reborn, a teacher is assigned to instruct young Vidyadhara in the art of cloudhymn and various life skills.

5. #5Aeon of Permanenceselective

   Keys: Long, Permanence

   Long was an Aeon who represented The Permanence. Long was the Progenitor of All Dragons, known for their role in the creation of their scions and interpretation of immortality — the Revelation of the Permanence. Long traversed the universe an untold number of Amber Eras ago with the primary goal of seeking the meaning to life itself. At the end of their life, they found their answer, and it became known as the Revelation of the Permanence. No one knows exactly the true ideals of the Aeon, but the penman of the Candelagraphos of the Intelligentsia Guild, Oppenheimer, came to certain conclusions.

   Long could have defined the meaning of existence to be the timeless nature of one's greatness. Long's decision to reincarnate, abhorring biological immortality, has led the penman to question if the revelation postulates the continuance of bloodline. Alternatively, the decision of the High Elders of the Vidyadhara to ally with the Xianzhou Alliance signifies their inclination towards a noble ambition that ensures the safety of the universe. Long is dead.

6. #6Maraselective

   Keys: Mara

   Mara, also called the "Long-Life Curse," refers to the negative effects that afflict long-life species at a certain point in their life cycle involving cell transformation that result in bodily growths and loss of sanity. Those overcome by Mara have turned into monsters such as the Mara-Struck Soldier, and possess inhuman healing abilities and can even survive one fatal wound, returning to life to fight again. The cause of Mara is not entirely understood but different sources point toward either immortality obtained through Yaoshi The Abundance or the accumulation of memories and the inability to process them over a long period of time.

   There is no cure for Mara. On the Xianzhou Luofu just before a citizen reaches the point where their Mara goes out of control and turns them violent they are taken to the Shackling Prison for a mercy execution.

   Mara primarily affects Xianzhou Natives. Foxians don't tend to live long enough to suffer from it, and Vidyadhara rebirth cycles wipe away the mental and spiritual corruption that some theorize is the cause of mara.

7. #7Stellaronselective

   Keys: Stellaron, Cancer of all worlds

   A Stellaron is a mysterious object spreading across the universe like a cancerous growth, leading it to be nicknamed the Cancer of All Worlds by the Interastral Peace Corporation. Stellarons are considered seeds of disaster which cause massive changes to civilizations and ecosystems, and result in the appearance of Fragmentum. It is typically a glowing orange moving cube radiating with intense light and power.

   Stellaron can respond to a strong wish from sentient beings and may grant said wishes, but there is virtually always a negative unseen cost, or the wish gets twisted towards destruction.

8. #8Aeon of Abundanceselective

   Keys: Yaoshi, The Abundance

However, the consequences of these blessings often result in a fate worse than death. Yaoshi is described as a figure with six arms and a scorpion-like hooked tail, along with hair similar to that of a magpie’s feather. They have antlers resembling branches sprouting from their head and slits of red eyes with black sclera on parts of their body.

9. #9Aeon of the Huntselective

   Keys: Lan, The Hunt

   Lan, also known as the Reignbow Arbiter or god of the Skybow, is an Aeon representing the path of the Hunt. Lan harbors an intense hatred towards Yaoshi the Abundance and the undead abominations created by them. They tirelessly hunt them down, driven by the devastation the Abundance caused on their homeworld.

   In contrast with the other Aeons, Lan pays close attention to mortals. They often appear before them, but move too fast to be seen—the only portents of their presence being vestiges of the Lux Arrow tearing across the sky. Their first appearance was around Year 3400 of the Star Calendar with their Sky-Shattering Lux Arrow severing the Abundance's Ambrosial Arbor. Lan is described as a tall, valiant prince with a crown. They possess centaur like features, taking form of a man combined with an equine below the waist, while the hind legs are replaced by wheels of a chariot.

12. #12Vidyadhara Societyselective

    Keys: Vidyadhara, Preceptors, High Elder

    Vidyadhara governance is broken into two roles. The Council of Preceptors and the High Elder. The High Elder is an inherited position and is passed down the line of succession. The individual holding the title is always the most powerful Vidyadhara, adept at cloudhymn magic and possessing the most prominent draconic features. The Preceptors are elders among the Vidyadhara with a certain degree of authority and political influence. The Preceptor Council may step in to rule the Vidyadhara in cases when the High Elder position is vacant or untenable. Preceptors also have the ability to divest the High Elder of their title and power, should they deem it necessary.

    Vidyadhara Cultural Notes: When a Vidyadhara is reborn they are considered a completely new person. Holding them responsible for anything in their past life is considered taboo. Sometimes lovers will put a jade pendant in their mouth before going into their rebirth, hoping to find their lover through the pendants in their next life. This almost never works as the reborn vidyadhara has no memories or attachment to the pendant or their old love.

    Vidyadhara Trivia: Vidyadhara can hold their breath for at least 2 hours. They prefer cool baths and showers.

    Foxians are a long lived species found on the Xianzhou. They resemble humanoids with tall fox-like ears and fox tails. Foxians are the shortest lived of the long-life species, typically living about 400 years. Due to their shorter lifespans they rarely succumb to Mara.

14. #14Borisinselective

    Keys: Borisin, werewolves

    The borisin are a humanoid species with canine features who are the most dominant race among the Denizens of Abundance. Distantly related to the Foxian species, the Borisin have long been arch nemeses to the Xianzhou Alliance. The borisin have a tribal council system, and have a culture that reveres strength and preying on the weak. They have the ability to enter a berserker like state called Moon Rage, which grants them increased strength and healing ability while they are raging. During battle, the borisin emit a pheromone known as Lupitoxin, which stimulates terror in the amygdala. To counteract these effects, the Cloud Knights either have to wear a breathing mask with filters that can resist it, or consume a poison-proof pellet. Borisins still enslave Foxians on their homeworlds and generally see Foxians as either slaves or cannon-fodder.

15. #15Yingxingselective

    Keys: Yingxing

    A human craftsman who came to the Luofu after his world was destroyed by Borisin. He rose to become the most skilled and celebrated weaponsmith the Xianzhou has ever known.

    A Foxian traveler and hero in Xianzhou history. She was a member of the Nameless and part of the High-Cloud Quintet. She was proficient in using a recurve bow. Baiheng was born in the most renowned of the Yaoqing's Foxian adventuring flying families. Though she inherited a desire for adventure she never officially boarded the Astral Express.

    As a starskiff pilot and member of the High-Cloud Quintet, Baiheng is skilled in both combat and navigation. She was once said to have loosed three arrows simultaneously from her bow in a dire situation, while continuing to pilot her starskiff with ease and even laughing freely with her companions. She seemed to be a free-willed person, not caring whether or not combat formations were orderly.

    Despite being an ace pilot, Baiheng was secretly nicknamed the "Starskiff Killer" by members of the Sky-Faring Commission, due to the incredible amount of times she crash-landed starskiffs on different worlds. Her missions often landed her in dangerous situations, yet she always had the fortune to turn the tide and escape in one piece. Baiheng also had an uncanny ability to predict future events, specifically inauspicious ones — because every ill omen that she voiced came true, very few Cloud Knights had the courage to accompany her on missions.

    Appearance= Foxian with lavender hair, ears, and tail. Fair skin. Bright blue green eyes. Wears short white and dark blue dress with longer back.

    Personality= Upbeat, peppy, headstrong

    They were initially gathered to save the Xianzhou Yuque from an assault by the Denizens of Abundance.

As a result the area is littered with pearlescent eggs of various sizes (large eggs are new while smaller eggs are nearing the end of their rebirth and soon to hatch), sitting on large pink lotus flower like things.

Legend has it that Akivili the Trailblaze loved journeying with mortals. They and the Nameless would share wine from various worlds and sing songs composed by diverse civilizations. They would disguise the moving Express as the trail of a shooting star and laugh at the people looking up in awe. However, they would often get into deep trouble due to their recklessness, only to be saved by the Aeon's power. Akivili formed a deep bond with their followers, and their adventures continued to attract travelers to join the ranks of the Nameless.

    When Akivili fell, a group of loyal Nameless carried on what the Aeon had started, continuing the exploration of the unknown. They held the belief that one day the will of Trailblaze will connect the entire universe.

The nine initial Xianzhou ships witnessed the barrier separating the world from the endless void: the Echidna Skywall.

The cause of Mara is not entirely understood but different sources point toward either immortality obtained through Yaoshi The Abundance or the accumulation of memories and the inability to process them over a long period of time.

    There is no cure for Mara. On the Xianzhou Luofu just before a citizen reaches the point where their Mara goes out of control and turns them violent they are taken to the Shackling Prison for a mercy execution.

    Keys: Black Tide, Eternal Night

    The black tide is a destructive corrupting force that not even the Titans can control. Those who are exposed to the Black Tide become corrupted and turned mad as a result. They lose all sense of themselves and their memories and only seek to spread the tide across the entire planet. The black tide appears in several forms: patches of affected ground that can only be removed by a nearby Titan mark, as part of corruption on people and objects. On people, this corruption will eventually turn them into monsters. Visually black tide manifests like black and red pixelated computer glitches in reality.

    Keys: Garden of Recollection, Memokeeper, Memostealer

    The Garden of Recollection is a faction which worships the Aeon Fuli. As messengers for the Remembrance, they surrender their worldly bodies and traverse the universe in the form of memories. Their goal is to search the stars on Fuli's behalf to find the most precious memories, and to make sure the universe is remembered in the face of the Destruction. Contrary to popular belief that memory is mixed with the imaginary, Memokeepers from the Garden of Recollection believe reality and imagination to be a myth. What is absolutely real and immortal in the universe that is constantly reincarnating? Even stars die and black holes evaporate. On a cosmic scale, they vanish in a breath. In this flood of time and life, the only treasure is the memory that proves the existence of people.

    Memokeepers from the Garden of Recollection are dedicated to preserving and sharing memories. Enlightened by their master Fuli, Memokeepers shed their mortal flesh and live on as memetic entities. With this unique gift, they can freely traverse between worlds, unconstrained by physical limits. Memokeepers often disguise themselves as natives of the worlds they visit. They trade, copy, steal, deceive... using every means necessary to collect precious memories. Memokeepers known for stealing memories are often referred to as Memosnatchers.

47. #47Astral Expressselective

    Keys: Astral Express

    The Astral Express is a large train. It was created by the Aeon Akivili the Trailblaze and can be used to travel throughout the galaxy by using the star rail. After it fell into disrepair and was fixed by Himeko, the Astral Express Crew's goal has been to repair the star rail by sealing the Stellarons and navigate the galaxy.

    The Astral Express was created by Akivili, the Aeon of the Trailblaze, and legends claim that Akivili's heart powers the Astral Express' core — although Himeko found no evidence to support that claim while repairing the train.

    In the past, the Astral Express was first bestowed by Akivili. Shortly after the fall of the Aeon, the Nameless took upon Akivili's trailblazing legacy. When the Stellaron began to spread, the star rail also fell victim under its influence to the point where the train could barely function at all. As a result, the Nameless faction decided to abandon it after the rails have long been obstructed.

    The Astral Express was later discovered by Himeko during her childhood, during which she became fascinated about the stories of the engine. She would repair the train years later to begin her journey across the universe. After the fall of Akivili, the Aeon of the Trailblaze, their trailblazing will was inherited by their followers called the Nameless, including the Astral Express that the Aeon once rode on. However, as the Cancer of All Worlds continue to spread, the star rail that the express runs on also fell victim. The express could barely run as the blight expanded, and had no choice but to stop when the rails became overly obstructed. It remained so for many years until Himeko discovered its existence. She was fascinated by the stories the engine and the star rails had in store. She spent countless hours repairing the cracks and evening the dents, restoring the express to its original form. The curious girl then set foot onto the Express and began her trailblazing voyage across the galaxy.

    The Astral Express made stops at every station, picking up rushing passengers along the way. Many continue to join and depart from the voyages of the Express. The travelers all come from different worlds, shouldering different burdens, and heading to a different destination. But once they're all on the Astral Express, they all share the same voyage experience. And that is why Himeko and the Express do not hesitate to open the doors of the Astral Express to anyone willing to share this experience, even if it means that they hold different agendas at heart, even if some were of ill-intentions.

48. #48Interastral Peace Corporationselective

    Keys: Interastral Peace Corporation, IPC

    The Interastral Peace Corporation, abreviated as the IPC, is an intergalactic mega corporation responsible for the economy of the entire cosmos. The Interastral Peace Corporation originated as a support team to assist Qlipoth in building their Celestial Comet Wall. They attempted to travel to different worlds to gather supplies as an offering to the Amber Lord. Since they only collected construction materials, however, the support team could only offer construction materials to trade.

    Almost 800 AE ago, Louis Fleming began trading for construction materials by offering other resources, such as fruit, for a certain marked-up price. This allowed the support team to realize that they needed to acquire and supply goods that are desirable to trade partners. And thus, Dongfang Qixing decided that, to be the only trade business in the cosmos, they must set their own rules.

    More than seven hundred and seventy Amber Eras ago, Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing announced the reformation of the support team and started the IPC. At the same moment, the IPC introduced the universal galactic currency: credits. They assigned a price tag to the specialties of every planet, which locals now purchased directly from the IPC using its credits.

    This new tide of the IPC allowed the organization to have a never-ending fund to stockpile resources for their Aeon. Though the organization now looks much different than their humble beginnings, they have never forgotten their sole pursuit of supporting Qlipoth. For over 800 AE, the IPC has accumulated construction materials across each planet surrounding the Aeon of Preservation. And yet, the Amber Lord has never paid the actions nor the resources of the IPC any heed.

49. #49Stonehearts

    Keys: Ten Stonehearts

    The Ten Stonehearts, officially known as Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists, are a group of high-ranking Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC) executives within the Strategic Investment Department, operating under the leadership of the Emanator of Preservation, Diamond. Its members' origins are varied, and their responsibilities and personalities differ. While under Diamond's leadership, he allows the Ten Stonehearts to be independent on matters of the team's survival. The Stonehearts are notorious among the IPC for their unprecedented level of freedom in how they act to achieve their goals.

    Each member of the Stonehearts is given a Cornerstone that allows them to tap into the power of the Emanator of Preservation. Cornerstones are considered more valuable than the individual's life. When someone joins the Stonehearts and is given a Cornerstone they abandon their old name and adopt the name of their stone. Known Stonehearts: Jade, Obsidian, Opal, Aventurine, Pearl, Topaz, Amber, Agate, Sapphire, Sugilite

50. #50Genius Societyselective

    Keys: Genius Society

    The Genius Society is an intergalactic organization, whose 84 members are personally selected by Nous the Erudition from across the cosmos. The Genius Society is a gathering of geniuses across the cosmos who had drawn the attention of Nous the Erudition founded by first member Zandar One Kuwabara. Many often misinterpret the invitation as only an approval. The few who are able to understand the Aeon's intentions are given a key to the halls of the Nous Temple. Those who pass through the gates would seek guidance from Nous and leave behind their legacy to never return.

    Besides their intellect, members of the society are are also known for how much they differ from each other, whether it be in terms of background, ideals, or goals. Most geniuses in the society are lone wolves, anti-social, and people with social disorders who refuses to communicate with each other, and only a few — such as Aiden, Elias Salas and Herta — are willing to share their findings and use their talent to contribute to the advancement of the cosmos, preferring to indulge in their research for enjoyment.[3] Some are even lunatics, like Rubert I, who dedicated itself to eradicate all organic life forms in the universe, or Polka Kakamond, known for killing fellow members of the society. Despite the lack of structure within the organization, it "has its own rules."

    Due to the tampering of the History Fictionologists and the preference for solitude among most of its members, the history of the organization is mostly shrouded in mystery.
