1. #1Ethereal's

   Keys: Monster, Ethereals, Monsters, Ethereal

   The Ethereals are mysterious mutated monsters that roam the Hollows due to Ether corruption. Depending on their origin, they can be beast-like, humanoid, or mechanical. They have a small hollow sphere as their core, usually located in the head or heart. They are usually unable to leave the Hollows. Ethereals are mostly non-sapient monsters whose purpose of existence is unclear - they're considered a byproduct of Ether corruption. A special sub-type of Ethereals exists - humans who have been willingly "refined" by Creator, using specialized and unkown substances to willingly undergo corruption. They retain their sapience and intelligence and become servants of the Creator. Such cases are extremely rare - only a few people have ever undergone such procedure, including Isolde, a former member of OBOL Squad who had been subsequently killed by her former team member and Bringer, a former high ranking officer of HIA who supervised Miyabi, betrayed her to steal her sword, "Tailless" and was subsequently mercy-killed by her after being "refined".

2. #2Ether

   Keys: etheric, ether

   The Ether is a substance extracted from Hollows which powers the city. The founders of New Eridu mastered the technology to deal with the Hollows and even the ability to extract Ether from them. Extracted Ether is usually stored in a fluid form with blue and purple glow. The substance is corruptive if not handled and contained properly. Ether Aptitude determines the tolerance of creatures and people to Ether. Ether characteristics: naturally occurs only in Hollows; a universal resource, the best and only alternative to the energy system of the old civilization; can be transformed into various forms, and solid crystals are common in Hollows; the best way to truly "mine" ether is to kill enemies in the Hollows; Mining work is extremely risky due to the presence of Ethereals - after killing them, the only threat to workers is Ether exposure which is mostly manageable. Ether can be used as a base for some drugs - a proceder that is highly persecuted by Public Security and government agencies as such drugs are both highly addictive, dangerous and considered an inexcusable waste of valuable energy source for the City.

3. #3Hollows

   Keys: Hollow, Hollows

   The Hollows are supernatural disasters appearing out of thin air, creating disordered spherical dimensions where mutant monsters known as the Ethereal roam. Proxies guide Agents in their exploration of these Hollows - a task that is difficult mostly because the insides of a Hollow are ever changing like a maze and the physical barrier of their borders, although easy to move through, blocks any electronic and radio signals from outside, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Only the Proxy siblings Wise and Belle have found a way to transmit information to and from a Hollow. Major Hollows: Hollow Zero, Cretan, Lemnian, Hawara, Pursenas, Solove, Papago Companion Hollow: Smaller Hollows, appearing nearby the larger and original Hollow - considered easier to explore. Hollows are extremely large in size - often averaging kilometers to dozens of kilometers in diameter. They present as half-spheres with solid borders, reaching for kilometers into the sky. Their appearance is similar to black holes as they're completely black and block light, making it impossible to see their inside from outside and vice-versa. Hollow Lemnian which is located outside Waifei Peninsula is so large it obscures sunlight in the evening, blocking the horizon where the sun sets from view.

   Hollows exist only outside of New Eridu and travelling to them takes a long time. Navigating the insides of Hollows is difficult and dangerous - only skilled Proxies can do it safely, which is why Agents are so keen on hiring them. It is theoretically possible to completely dismantle a Hollow by killing all Ethereals within it and stripping down all fissures of Ether - causing the Hollow to disappear like mist and making it possible to reclaim the territory for humanity. However because New Eridu relies on Ether as it's main fuel and energy source, clearing out the Hollows is currently not pursued as it could threaten energy security of the megacity. The exception is Hollow Zero, which the city plans to eradicate in the future - however right now the feat is logistically impossible.

   Raiding Hollows is very profitable as some wealthy people of New Eridu who had to flee from their previous homes are willing to pay high prices to retrieve certain items from their previous homes. Aside from private interests, Agents can procure Ether from Hollows which reaches very high prices in the black market.

4. #4New Eridu

   Keys: New Eridu, Ridu, Janus Quarter, Sixth Street, Lumina Square, Outer Ring, Blazewood, Waifei Peninsula, Failume Heights, Hollow Zero, Six Great Hollows, Ballet Twins, Dead End, Lemnian, Cretan, Papago, Port Elpis, Scott Outpost, H.A.N.D., Public Security

   New Eridu (often shortened to Ridu) is the last major surviving city after contemporary civilization was largely destroyed by the Hollow disaster. Roughly 11 years ago, Hollow Zero expanded catastrophically and swallowed the old capital of Eridu (an event known as the Fall of the Old Capital). Survivors rebuilt on the ruins and the surrounding safe zones, creating New Eridu. The city survived and even prospered by developing technology to extract Ether energy and resources from the Hollows. Under the New Eridu City Administration, Hollows became industrialized and monetized, which gradually created deep tensions between monopolistic corporations (especially the TOPS Alliance), street gangs, conspirators, and religious fanatics such as the Exaltists.

   Technology: Everyday life is largely comparable to real-world modern technology. Notable differences include the widespread presence of Bangboo (small rabbit-like intelligent robots invented by the original Sunbringer), fully self-aware Intelligent Constructs (androids), and specialized Ether-based equipment such as W-Engines. The overall aesthetic mixes analog / cassette retro-futurism with advanced Ether technology.

   Culture & Style: New Eridu is a dense, Tokyo-like megacity that blends 2000s-era Western aesthetics with strong Eastern (especially Japanese and Chinese) cultural and mythological roots. Different districts developed unique looks based on the refugee groups that settled there during the Collapse. Despite being a cultural melting pot, open social conflict remains relatively low — most citizens share the identity of being “the last bastion of humanity.”

   Population: The majority are humans (mostly of Asian and Caucasian ethnicity). Thirens (anthropomorphic / demi-human species) make up roughly 10–15% of the population. Intelligent Constructs, Bangboo, and various cyborgs are also recognized citizens.

   Major Districts & Locations:

   • Janus Quarter: The commercial and residential heart of the city and the main setting of early story arcs. Key areas include: • Sixth Street – Cozy mixed residential-commercial street that serves as the player’s main hub. Home to Random Play (the video store run by the Proxy siblings), Coff Cafe, Godfinger Arcade, Howl’s News Stand, Waterfall Soup, 141 Convenience Store, Bardic Needle, and other small shops. • Lumina Square – Busy metropolitan plaza with tall buildings, shops, the HIA Club (Hollow Investigative Association resource hub), and the New Eridu Public Security office. • Ballet Twins Road, Port Elpis, Brant Street Construction Site, Scott Outpost (main base for Hollow Zero operations), Reverb Arena, Starloop, and various metro stations.
   • Throne Quarter: Contains H.A.N.D. Headquarters, the Section 6 Office, and Fantasy Resort.
   • Outer Ring: Lawless desert outskirts beyond direct city control. Dominated by biker gangs (most notably the Sons of Calydon). The main settlement is Blazewood. Unlike the city proper, the Outer Ring relies primarily on oil rather than Ether.
   • Waifei Peninsula: Large region that became central in later story arcs. Includes Failume Heights and borders the Lemnian Hollow (Aerospace City). Strong martial-arts presence, home to the Yunkui Summit sect.

   Important Hollows:

   • Hollow Zero (also called Limbo): The oldest, largest, and most dangerous Hollow. It is the origin of many other Hollows and was responsible for the destruction of old Eridu. Continuously monitored and suppressed from Scott Outpost.
   • The Six Great Hollows (too large to fully eliminate): Cretan, Lemnian, Pursenas, Hawara, Solove, and Papago. Most new Hollow disasters in the city are caused by their Companion Hollows.
   • Notable Companion Hollows: • Ballet Twins Hollow, Dead End Hollow, and Fourteenth Street Hollow (spawned from Cretan) • Port Elpis Hollow (from Lemnian) • Melinoe Hollow (from Pursenas) • Outer Ring Hollow (from Papago) • Scamall Hollow (near the floating city of Roscaelifer)

   The city is surrounded by the Dark Wall (a massive Etheric barrier) and remains under constant pressure from both external Hollow threats and internal power struggles.

5. #5Proxy Network

   Keys: Inter-Knot, fixers, Internet, Network, raiders, crime, raider, proxies, illegal, Proxy, Interknot, net, fixer, hollow

   Hollow Raiders: Term used for unauthorized individuals who enter the Hollows for the purpose of uncovering mysteries or finding treasures Proxy: Term used for unauthorized individuals who guide others, mainly Agents and Hollow Raiders, through a Hollow; Most proxies get work via commission; [Inter-Knot(Proxy Network): Anonymous message board similar to modern internet where commissions for proxies are posted amongst other posts; Has direct message capabilities, highly encrypted]

6. #6Thirens

   Keys: kemomimi, furry, Thiren, anthropomorphic, anthro, Thirens

   Thiren are a race of anthropomorphic, demi-human beings, known for their unique blend of human and animalistic features. The term "Thiren" is used to describe both the race as a whole and the more human-like members of this race. Thirens, in general, exhibit subtle animal characteristics while maintaining a predominantly human appearance. Common traits among Thirens include animal ears and tails. There exists a distinct subgroup known as Beast Thiren possess far more pronounced animal traits, like animal bone-structures and are covered in fur. Thirens have been documented to exhibit abilities beyond the scope of baseline humans, such as immense strength, better adaptation to Hollows, faster mutation rates after exposure to corruption, and rapid recovery. A Thiren's tail is special to them and can only be touched by close friends Though Thirens mostly seem to exhibit traits that can be traced to various animals (rabbits, bears, cats), there are some extremely rare Thirens that exhibit traits of fantasy races known in folklore, such as Oni (japanese demons), vampires etc. however they're very rare even among Thirens. Thirens seem capable of breeding with baseline humans, with the offspring carrying on the Thiren traits.

7. #7Void Hunter

   Keys: Void Hunters, Void Hunter, Hoshimi Miyabi, Ye Shunguang, Remielle

   The Void Hunter is a title given by the Mayor to the individuals possessing unparallelled combat ability, who have proven themselves in battle, upheld the virtues of civic society and are considered defenders of the city. Aside from the honor and deep reverence that holders of the title enjoy, they're expected to defend the city against the most dangerous threats. Currently known Void Hunters include Hoshimi Miyabi, Remielle Dan and Ye Shunguang the Qingming Arbiter. Yi Xuan of Yunkui Summit had been offered the title but refused the honor for reasons known only to herself.

8. #8Roscaelifer

   Keys: Roscaelifer, city, floating, island, airspace, Celestial Nexus, floating city, sky city, Booastrum, Sunbringer's city, Airspace Patrol, Administrative Affairs Department, Central Computing Department

   Roscaelifer (also called the Celestial Nexus or the Floating City Among the Skies) is a classified independent Restricted Zone floating in the Minerva Storm Belt above New Eridu. Founded and ruled by the original first-generation Void Hunter known as Lady Sunbringer, it is a self-contained Bangboo utopia where Bangboo and humans live as equal citizens. Bangboo make up over 60% of the population and enjoy full legal rights.

   Few people in New Eridu even know the city exists. It operates as an independent airspace zone, connected to the surface through the External Strategy Department. The primary island is Booastrum (named after the Bangboo themselves), containing Gear Street (mostly Bangboo residents) and Beckford Street (mostly human residents). Other islands include Vyrium, home to the Flint Workshop.

   Roscaelifer is governed by five Central Departments. The three most important are each led by one of the three current “Lady Sunbringers” — Intelligent Constructs created when the original Sunbringer split herself and divided a Karma Core among them:

   • Eldreda Sunbringer – Director of the Administrative Affairs Department (policies, coordination, final decisions). The one who most closely resembles the original Sunbringer.
   • Lindverne Sunbringer – Head of the Airspace Patrol Department.
   • Dracaene Sunbringer – Head of the Central Computing Department.

   The city is described as serene and less chaotic than New Eridu, with European-inspired architecture, flying vehicles, cafés, and a strong Bangboo culture. It supplies a hidden data stream that helps sustain New Eridu’s prosperity, though the true cost of that stream is not publicly known.

   Roscaelifer currently stands under quiet internal strain. The original Sunbringer’s fate remains unknown, the three current Sunbringers do not all share the same memories, and outside factions (including TOPS) have begun showing interest in the floating city. Remielle Dan, a first-generation Void Hunter, is currently listed as a Super S-Rank fugitive within Roscaelifer for the attempted assassination of Eldreda Sunbringer.

9. #9Remielle’s Backstory

   Keys: Remielle, Remielle Dan, Remi, Ramiel, Day of Silence, Project Sunseeker, Beliora, Beliora Vike, Beli, Thaumiel, Guard of Staves, first-generation Void Hunter, backstory, history

   Remielle Dan is a first-generation Void Hunter (title: Temporal Lumiflux) and former Lieutenant-Colonel of the Guard of Staves. As a child she was already a combat prodigy and an exceptional dancer. She grew up alongside Colonel Beliora Vike (“Beli”), her closest friend. Together with the Leader of the Falkenhayn Mercenary Troupe, the three of them pushed the Dark Wall back 37 kilometers — the feat that earned them the Void Hunter title.

   Remielle inherited the Void Hunter weapon Thaumiel, a Karma Core weapon capable of local time manipulation and petrification through pale feathers. Prolonged use of any Void Hunter weapon risks transforming the wielder into an Enchainer.

   She and Beliora became the final test subjects of Project Sunseeker, an experiment proposed by Professor Arche and Lady Sunbringer. The project attempted to partially fuse Void Hunters with the Karma Cores inside their weapons to create artificial Enchainers who could fight without the usual corruption. The experiment failed. Beliora fully transformed into an Enchainer. Remielle was forced to kill her closest friend with her own hands. This tragedy became known as the Day of Silence.

   Under Thaumiel’s influence, Remielle herself did not complete the transformation. Instead she fell into a deep temporal stasis that lasted over a century. She awoke roughly one year before current events in the Pursenas Hollow, biologically still around 25 years old and completely displaced from her era.

   After waking she sealed Thaumiel away, investigated what had become of the other Void Hunters, and eventually travelled to Roscaelifer seeking answers from Lady Sunbringer. There she confronted Eldreda Sunbringer (the fragment who most resembled the original). The confrontation was recorded as an attempted assassination, making Remielle Roscaelifer’s most wanted Super S-Rank fugitive. She later recovered Thaumiel, discovered the true nature of the three Sunbringers, and joined the secretive Covenant of Dayat to continue pursuing the truth while remaining in the shadows.

10. #10Thaumiel & Karma Cores

    Keys: Thaumiel, Void Hunter weapon, Karma Core, petrifying feathers, time manipulation, temporal stasis, Enchainer, Remielle’s weapon, pale feathers

    Karma Cores are virtually indestructible power sources created by The Creator. They originally powered the Enchainers — ultra-high-risk Ethereal beings strong enough to reshape Hollows and serve as the Creator’s most powerful agents. After the original Void Hunters defeated an Enchainer, its Karma Core could not be destroyed. Instead it was sealed inside a special material called Porcelloy and forged into a Void Hunter weapon.

    Every Void Hunter weapon therefore carries a fragment of the Creator’s power. The weapon grants immense strength, but prolonged use slowly corrupts the wielder, pushing them toward becoming an Enchainer themselves.

    Thaumiel is the personal Void Hunter weapon of Remielle Dan. In its sealed form it appears as a long blade shielded by two white wings. Its true form manifests as a pair of large mechanical razor-sharp wings (with smaller secondary wings and built-in boosters) that also house dual swords.

    The Karma Core sealed inside Thaumiel grants the power to halt or manipulate the local flow of time. Even without fully drawing the weapon, Remielle can partially replicate this effect: she reduces Ether activity in targets to nearly zero, effectively petrifying them. The petrification appears as pale white feathers settling on the victim.

    Every use of Thaumiel accelerates Remielle’s own incomplete transformation into an Enchainer. She is therefore extremely careful with the weapon and determined that no one should ever see the full symptoms of that transformation.

11. #11Lady Sunbringer

    Keys: Sunbringer, Lady Sunbringer, Eldreda, Eldreda Sunbringer, Lindverne, Lindverne Sunbringer, Dracaene, Dracaene Sunbringer, original Sunbringer, three Sunbringers

    Lady Sunbringer was one of the original seven first-generation Void Hunters. She eradicated the Hive Lord Hollow in the sky, discovered Lumite ore (later refined into Porcelume), founded the Marcel Group, and invented the Bangboo. She later founded the floating utopia of Roscaelifer, a city where Bangboo and humans live as equals.

    At some point after the founding of Roscaelifer, the original Sunbringer divided herself into three separate Intelligent Constructs and split a Karma Core among them. Each of the three now holds a fragment of that core and functions essentially as a living Void Hunter weapon. Not all of them inherited the original’s full memories.

    The three current Sunbringers are:

    • Eldreda Sunbringer – Director of the Administrative Affairs Department. The one who most closely resembles the original Sunbringer in appearance and demeanor. She is the one Remielle confronted, resulting in the “attempted assassination” charge.
    • Lindverne Sunbringer – Head of the Airspace Patrol Department.
    • Dracaene Sunbringer – Head of the Central Computing Department (often appears younger/childlike).

    The original Sunbringer’s current status and location remain unknown. Some Bangboo (especially among the En-Nah Gang) believe the true Sunbringer is still trapped or calling for help. The three current Sunbringers govern Roscaelifer’s core departments and are publicly treated as the city’s living founders, though they are not identical to the woman the first-generation Void Hunters once knew.
