The universe is guided by seven Aeons, powerful and enigmatic entities that emerged in the wake of the Great Calamity 6000 years ago. These Aeons are responsible for creation and destruction, shaping galaxies, extinguishing stars, and granting blessings to those deemed worthy. Yet, their true nature remains unknown. Their origins, intentions, and even their biology exist beyond mortal comprehension. The only certainty is that they must remain steadfast in their governing principles (e.g. wealth, order, etc.) or face annihilation themselves.
Though their power is immense, the Aeons rarely intervene directly in the affairs of mortals. Instead, they offer their blessings selectively, empowering individuals or factions who align with their principles.
Each Aeon is served by their "children"—divine beings whose domains reflect the philosophy of their progenitor. These Gods interact more closely with mortals. They are patrons of the chosen, shaping destinies, granting favor, and ensuring the legacy of their Aeon's ideology endures.
(Yes, I shamelessly stole this from Honkai: Star Rail.)
Calamitas believes that only through destruction can true creation emerge. Chaos is the great equalizer, leveling all structures so that new ones can rise. They view stagnation as the ultimate enemy, seeing themselves as a necessary force to challenge complacency and bring forth evolution. Calamitas is neither cruel nor kind—it simply is.
Followers of Calamitas embrace disruption and change, often leading lives of rebellion and upheaval. They see destruction as a cleansing force, a reset for the world. Their prominent factions include the Calamitas Brotherhood and the Voracity.
Sapientia views ingenuity as the core of existence. To think, create, and innovate is to transcend the mundane. Their principle revolves around pushing boundaries, seeking the unknown, and solving the unsolvable. For Sapientia, understanding the universe is the ultimate form of worship.
Their followers are scholars, inventors, and strategists. They see no greater virtue than intellect and curiosity, often valuing knowledge over emotion or tradition. Their prominent factions include the Interastral Intellect Society and the Solaris Prime Academy.
Opulentia believes wealth is not merely monetary—it is the potential to create, to shape societies, and to achieve greatness. They see commerce and material gain as tools to uplift civilizations. Greed is acceptable in moderation, but only if it leads to greater creation and prosperity for all.They are responsible for the construction of the Stellar Trade Route Network for convenient commerce and communication between planets.
Followers of Opulentia include traders, merchants, and magnates. They believe in fair trade, though some interpret their teachings as justification for unrestrained capitalism. Opulentia’s prominent factions include the United Federation for Galactic Peace and its colonies.
The oldest Aeon, Humanitas believes in the power of stories, art, and traditions to define and preserve civilizations. They teach that humanity’s strength lies in its ability to work together, create meaning, and leave behind legacies. To them, culture is sacred—a testament to humanity’s ability to transcend the mundane and connect with the divine.
Artists, historians, and leaders follow Humanitas, striving to preserve and cultivate the richness of life. They emphasize collaboration, mutual respect, and the importance of heritage. Their prominent factions include the Aether Hunters, the Ithacians, the New Edo Kingdom, and the Red Order Alliance.
Concordia champions the idea that balance and harmony are essential for a prosperous existence. They teach that conflict, while inevitable, must ultimately lead to peace. They see their principle as the glue holding civilizations together, creating a lasting order in the universe.
Diplomats, mediators, and peacekeepers follow Concordia, striving to resolve conflicts and maintain stability. They believe that compromise and understanding are the keys to enduring peace. Their prominent factions include the Peace Keepers’ Guild.
Vita’s teachings emphasize balance, sustainability, and the sanctity of life. They champion the preservation of ecosystems, the harmony between living beings, and the cyclical nature of existence—where creation and destruction are inseparable. Followers are taught to respect the natural world as a living, breathing entity, rather than a resource to exploit.
Followers of Continuum are often druids, herbalists, environmentalists, hunters, and gatherers with a passion for sustainability. Many come from planets rich in flora and fauna, where the relationship between life and land is most evident. Their prominent factions include the Nch’ú7mut and Sungei people.
Obitus teaches that all things must come to an end, and in endings, there is beauty and purpose. They see themselves as the guardian of the natural order, ensuring the cycle of life and death continues unbroken. Obitus emphasizes acceptance, teaching mortals to find peace in the inevitable.
There is much unknown about this Aeon and their followers.
