bound by despair

<sub>no one is safe from their own nightmares.
no one is safe from themselves.


not even among those who call themselves gods.</sub>

Aeon and Enda were part of a mental safeguard system built by Alucinarae long ago,
mental partitions to collect and quarantine twisted thoughts, traumatic memories, and terrifying nightmares.

Partitions of horrifically malicious psychological content that accrued to the point where they became independent, sentient beings. Personas of their own right.

Upon Alucinarae's death within The Real (see AATR 3), the system instantly shattered:
A convergence event occurred in an instant, and Alucinarae reabsorbed Aeon and Enda.

The entity that was created in the wake of the chaotic singularity was an expansive existence that permeated all forms of being, and shattered the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The Eternal Chaotic Paradise descended upon the world, and at the center of it all was the remains of Alucinarae. Unwoken, forever.

An unfathomable nightmare that has descended upon everything, an unrelenting despair ravaging all with any semblance of sentience at all.





Your own blackness will be brought forth before you,
and you will be your own judge.

You will die by your own hand.
