On the bridge of the ship, Varic reports back on Raion’s condition and takes into account their current situation. The Last Horizon has been surrounded by the Visiria fleet, and Shyrax and Varic determine the Perfected will arrive soon. Varic turns towards Sola and Omega bickering in the corner over the Zenith Cannon. Horizon joins the argument when suddenly, Mell announces the arrival of [[D’Niss]] in the system. Knowing the Perfected will contact soon, Varic talks Shyrax down to let him take the call.

As they wait for the call, the Visiri fleet grows more antsy and begins powering up their weapons. They finally receive a transmission from the King Regent Felrex, inviting Varic and Shyrax aboard his flagship. Varic turns him down on account of the D’Niss’ arrival, but offers to arrive after they were dealt with, to Felrex’s disapproval. Felrex disconnects, and Varic assures the crew that the Karoshans won’t be able to win against the D’Niss.

;Plot Summary

In another life, the Titan Force were extremely famous, and quickly found replacements for the retired and deceased Titan Knights. Despite getting to know the new Knights (Trisk, Serrian, and Marthan) better than the original three, Varic and Raion remained closer to each other due to their mutual understanding and experience.

Eventually, after years of tracking down [[Esh’kinaar]], they encountered her lurking in a civilized system in Dark Space. Alongside her were the three surviving members of the [[D'Niss|Seven Calamities]], filling the system with D’Niss soldiers. Immediately realising they emerged in a trap, Raion calls for a retreat. Esh’kinaar remains slowly feeding on the star while the three Calamities send their forces against them. After an intense battle with the five Knights fighting to protect the fleet, they manage a retreat with minimal casualties. A celebration is held, but after the party Varic and Raion estimate Esh’kinaar’s strength, and how far she was from reaching goal. They both came to the conclusion that they had to strike first.

;Plot Summary

The crew watches the battle between the Karoshans and [[Hesh’ellik]]. Varic invites Mariala on the bridge to let her observe Hesh’ellik’s fortune magic. He quizzes her on the situation as it unfolds. They observe as the magic causes holes in the Karoshan’s defenses, and Varic teaches her what she can do if she were in that situation. As they watch however, the Karoshan flagship moves forward. Recognizing the recklessness in the behavior, Varic and Shyrax discuss their potential intentions. Varic orders Horizon to send him to the Heart of Visiria, while Shyrax argues that they should take the chance to attack. Varic decides to act to neutralize the Perfected and the D’Niss while minimizing damage to the Visiri or Karoshans, but before any action is taken, the flagship releases a drop-pod. From it, a powerful Combat Art is released, splitting Hesh’ellik into two. Realising the attack came from multiple Perfected, Varic orders Horizon to take them now. Horizon finds herself unable to, and Varic watches in despair as two more D’Niss warp into the system, understanding now that this was a trap meant for The Last Horizon.

He focuses more on the spell, when Omega suddenly splatters onto the bridge. Varic steals a glance at the footage, and sees Shyrax struggle against her opponent. He releases the protection spell, instead hitting a binding spell against her opponent. Shyrax immediately takes the opportunity and kills him, and is taken to the next ship.

While Horizon keeps objecting, Mell and Sola state their approval as well. They then make a choice in what planet to give to Ark, one located on the border of the Karoshan Alliance. On cue, Omega and Lemon walk in.

On the other side of the galaxy, Varic awakens with a premonition of danger. Varic orders Horizon to contact those outside the ship (Shyrax, Omega, and Raion) while he goes to check on Mell. Mell is initially annoyed to be awakened, but quickly wakes up when she realises the danger. She starts calling Shyrax while Varic heads towards Sola. Upon questioning her, Sola begins preparing for danger. She calls Omega to check on him, but hangs up almost immediately.

;Plot Summary
Ryzer and Governor Seiren observe a bloodied and unconscious Raion on the ground, while King Felrex watches as a holographic form. Felrex praises them before leaving, and the Governor comforts a quiet Ryzer, preparing him for an interview. Governor Seiren notes that ''The Last Horizon'' had entered the system, and Raion is taken to medical moments before Varic manifests nearby. Though Varic acts mildly while the Governor talks to him, Ryzer starts to feel intimidated by him. Varic apologizes for the troubles Raion has caused, and says he will compensate for him once he sees the footage. The Governor plans to give him the edited footage, but Varic has already obtained the full copy through his own means. He watches the footage in silence, while the Governor tries to justify the situation. Over the tense silence, storm clouds begin to roll above them, and the Governor finally calls the challenge over and to continue the discussion inside. Varic instead declares the challenge must continue, as he is also a member of the ''The Last Horizon'' and could pick up where Raion left off. He challenges the first Senator, and after some provoking, Albedon Pegarthus accepts his challenge. The Governor and Ryzer head back to the observation room to watch the fight. Immediately after the round begins, Albedon is defeated by a laser of water. As Albedon is carried off for treatment, Varic keeps his gaze on the observation room, and challenges the next Senator.

;Plot Summary
In Another Life
The Titan Force, having been extremely famous in their heyday, quickly found replacements for the retired and deceased Titan Knights. Despite getting to know the new Knights (Trisk, Serrian, and Marthan) better than the original three, Varic and Raion remained closer to each other due to their mutual understanding and experience.

Eventually, after years of tracking down [[Esh’kinaar]], they encountered her lurking in a civilized system in Dark Space. Alongside her were the three surviving members of the [[D'Niss|Seven Calamities]], filling the system with D’Niss soldiers. Immediately realising they emerged in a trap, Raion calls for a retreat. Esh’kinaar remains slowly feeding on the star while the three Calamities send their forces against them. After an intense battle with the five Knights fighting to protect the fleet, they manage a retreat with minimal casualties. A celebration is held, but after the party Varic and Raion estimate Esh’kinaar’s strength, and how far she was from reaching goal. They both came to the conclusion that they had to strike first.

Governor Seiren notes that ''The Last Horizon'' had entered the system, and Raion is taken to medical moments before Varic manifests nearby. Though Varic acts mildly while the Governor talks to him, Ryzer starts to feel intimidated by him. Varic apologizes for the troubles Raion has caused, and says he will compensate for him once he sees the footage. The Governor plans to give him the edited footage, but Varic has already obtained the full copy through his own means. He watches the footage in silence, while the Governor tries to justify the situation. Over the tense silence, storm clouds begin to roll above them, and the Governor finally calls the challenge over and to continue the discussion inside. Varic instead declares the challenge must continue, as he is also a member of the ''The Last Horizon'' and could pick up where Raion left off. He challenges the first Senator, and after some provoking, Albedon Pegarthus accepts his challenge. The Governor and Ryzer head back to the observation room to watch the fight. Immediately after the round begins, Albedon is defeated by a laser of water. As Albedon is carried off for treatment, Varic keeps his gaze on the observation room, and challenges the next Senator.

Governor Seiren notes that ''The Last Horizon'' had entered the system, and Raion is taken to medical moments before Varic manifests nearby. Though Varic acts mildly while the Governor talks to him, Ryzer starts to feel intimidated by him. Varic apologizes for the troubles Raion has caused, and says he will compensate for him once he sees the footage. The Governor plans to give him the edited footage, but Varic has already obtained the full copy through his own means. He watches the footage in silence, while the Governor tries to justify the situation. Over the tense silence, storm clouds begin to roll above them, and the Governor finally calls the challenge over and to continue the discussion inside. Varic instead declares the challenge must continue, as he is also a member of the ''The Last Horizon'' and could pick up where Raion left off. He challenges the first Senator, and after some provoking, Albedon Pegarthus accepts his challenge. The Governor and Ryzer head back to the observation room to watch the fight. Immediately after the round begins, Albedon is defeated by a laser of water. As Albedon is carried off for treatment, Varic keeps his gaze on the observation room, and challenges the next Senator.

Varic confirms the identity of the Zenith Cannon, and asks her what woke her. Mell is then let into the room, and she begins to excitedly analyze the Cannon. After her analysis, Sola is allowed to come close, to the excitement of Mortal Edict. She insists to Sola to abandon Horizon and join her instead. Horizon begins to cry and argue with Edict when Sola is tempted. Varic then states it's Omega's turn, and Edict immediately changes her mind and demands Omega instead. To add to Horizon plight, Omega also announces he wishes to join with Edict, and Sola begins to pull out weapons to fight for her. Benri easily accepts that the Cannon has chosen to stay with the crew, making Varic suspicious.

He pulls through the seventh and final round, when Governer Seiren calls for another opponent, claiming there were others who still doubted in Raion. The rounds continue.

On the other side of the galaxy, Varic awakens with a premonition of danger. Varic orders Horizon to contact those outside the ship (Shyrax, Omega, and Raion) while he goes to check on Mell. Mell is initially annoyed to be awakened, but quickly wakes up when she realises the danger. She starts calling Shyrax while Varic heads towards Sola. Upon questioning her, Sola begins preparing for danger. She calls Omega to check on him, but hangs up almost immediately. Horizon then manifests, having connected to Raion, and noticed he was fighting. Upon hearing the recording, Varic triggers the ship's alarm. He calls for them to go into Subspace as fast as possible to reach Raion. The other members are recalled onto the bridge, and they enter into a [[Subspace]] warp.

;Plot Summary
Ryzer and Governor Seiren observe a bloodied and unconscious Raion on the ground, while King Felrex watches as a holographic form. Felrex praises them before leaving, and the Governor comforts a quiet Ryzer, preparing him for an interview. Governor Seiren notes that ''The Last Horizon'' had entered the system, and Raion is taken to medical moments before Varic manifests nearby. Though Varic acts mildly while the Governor talks to him, Ryzer starts to feel intimidated by him. Varic apologizes for the troubles Raion has caused, and says he will compensate for him once he sees the footage. The Governor plans to give him the edited footage, but Varic has already obtained the full copy through his own means. He watches the footage in silence, while the Governor tries to justify the situation. Over the tense silence, storm clouds begin to roll above them, and the Governor finally calls the challenge over and to continue the discussion inside. Varic instead declares the challenge must continue, as he is also a member of the ''The Last Horizon'' and could pick up where Raion left off. He challenges the first Senator, and after some provoking, Albedon Pegarthus accepts his challenge. The Governor and Ryzer head back to the observation room to watch the fight. Immediately after the round begins, Albedon is defeated by a laser of water. As Albedon is carried off for treatment, Varic keeps his gaze on the observation room, and challenges the next Senator.

{{Cradle NavBox}}'''Dreadgods''' are monsters of [[Hunger Madra|Hunger Aura]], the most powerful and destructive living beings on Cradle. The Dreadgods spend most of their time sleeping. They usually only half-waken when the doors to the ancient [[Labyrinth]] remain open too long, the aura within driving the Dreadgods in to feed. In general, it is the responsibility of the Monarch to fight a stirring Dreadgod in their territory until it gives up for easier prey. This leads to Dreadgods being the prime cause of death among Monarchs. As all Hunger is one, whenever a Dreadgod is killed, its power will be shared among the others until it is eventually reborn. The other Dreadgods are made stronger and faster, and immediately beeline towards whomever killed their sibling. Becaues of this, they are virtually immortal, however, there is a way they can be done away with, which is revealed in [[Reaper]].

All of the dreadgods have a [[Dreadgod Cults|cult]] that follow them, benefiting from the destruction they leave in their wake. These cults use the madra left behind by the dreadgods and practice Paths inspired by them.

In [[Bloodline]], Monarch [[Reigan Shen]] reveals that Subject One is also a Dreadgod, as he enters the Labyrinth via a hidden entrance. <blockquote>The last chunk of masonry rolled away, revealing a towering stone door. It was carved with the image of a gaunt, sunken human with many grasping hands, its eyes hollow and mouth open unnaturally wide. This was Subject One, at least as he had appeared long ago. A Dreadgod, though few knew that. The man who had become warped by hunger aura. The origin of their bloodline.’ (Bloodline, ch 20)</blockquote>
===Power Distribution===
The dreadgods are entities of hunger madra. Subject One says that all hunger on Cradle is connected — it’s all one (see Reaper). Each of the five Dreadgods hold a certain amount of power, and when one dies that beast’s power is distributed to the others. So, if Subject One dies, his power goes to the other four monsters, unless someone else successfully takes his power.
Speaking of the [[Dread Wars]], roughly 500 years ago, when Monarchs battled dreadgods: <blockquote> <i>They crushed the beast of earth, and then they discovered what we did. When one of the beasts dies, the others inherit its power until it is reborn. They become smarter. Stronger. And the hunger takes hold. “The beasts devoured the rest of the Monarchs, and for a while, I could live through their eyes.” </i>(Reaper ch 21)</blockquote>

== Creation of the Dreadgods ==
Before the Dreadgods, [[Hunger Madra|Hunger Aura]] was something of a force of nature that wandered, corrupting everything it touched. A group of researchers sought to change this and occupied the [[Labyrinth]] beneath what would later be known as Sacred Valley. They anchored all the [[Hunger Madra|Hunger]] in the world there, conducting experiments, hoping to find way to harness and control it. They created weapons and bindings out of it, and later created dreadbeasts. The aim was to imbue hunger aura into beasts, and in so doing contain it in a form that could be better isolated and controlled. Most of these beings were failures, now known as dreadbeasts. It wasn't until they got it right that they came to realize how big of a mistake they had made.

The first successful case was with a researcher whose name is unknown. He volunteered himself as a subject, and became [[Subject One|Subject One, the Slumbering Wraith]]. Using him as a template, they created the next four; the [[Weeping Dragon|Dragon]], the [[The Bleeding Phoenix|Phoenix]], the [[The Wandering Titan|Titan]], and the [[The Silent King|King]]. When the four of them escaped, the Labyrinth was sealed, and the great suppression script was created, to keep him starved of power.

==Intelligence==
From the author, Will Wight: Some Dreadgods are more intelligent than the others. The Silent King is always aware, he's always self aware, and he's the smartest one. And the Weeping Dragon actually is the second most self aware. The Bleeding Phoenix is third. And the Wandering Titan is just kind of an idiot. (https://www.abidanarchive.com/events/25/#e1860)

==Hunger Madra==
<b>*See full article [[Hunger madra]] </b>

*Dreadgods always want more and more. They’re never satisfied, always craving. They cycle hunger aura into powerful [[hunger madra]]. Neither are naturally occurring{{book ref|r|21}}.
*[[Wei Shi Lindon]]’s prosthetic arm gives him a good sense of the nature of hunger madra.
<blockquote>“He studied the arm. What he called hunger wasn't just that. It felt similar to hunger, but it was more textured, with deeper layers. He felt ambition, greed, gluttony, an endless desire to reach for more and more.” (Skysworn, ch 12)</blockquote>

*There is an important relationship between hunger aura, hunger madra, [[Dreadbeasts]], Dreadgods, and the overweening ambitions of Monarchs.

==Timeline: Post-Oz==
[[Subject One]], Dreadgods, and the development of hunger madra came after Ozmanthus Arelius ascended (but hunger aura was around in his time, and so were [[Dreadbeasts]]).<blockquote> “Anything from the Arelius founder should predate the introduction of hunger madra to this labyrinth. Did he anticipate this, or was he protecting against other threats? A puzzle for you!” (Reaper, ch 11, Eithan)</blockquote>

===Li Markuth===
About roughly 2500 years ago, [[Li Markuth]] was the Grand Patriarch and original founder of the Li clan in Sacred Valley. He saw the newly minted [[Dreadgod]]s escape from the [[Labyrinth]] in [[Sacred Valley]] (perhaps through the vast Nethergate door). When he returned as an avenging immortal in book 1, Markuth asked, “Tell me, have the Four Beasts come home?” (Unsouled, ch 9).

*Lindon reflected that no one had left the valley in one hundred generations{{book ref|us|11}}, so that would add up to about 2500 years ago, roughly.

==Subject One, Researcher==
<b>See more detail at [[Subject One]] — the original researcher who became a Dreadgod.<br> And see [[hunger madra]].</b>

<br>About 2500 years ago, roughly, Subject One was a researcher exploring hunger aura and dreadbeasts. Because his work had unintended consequences, Dreadgods came into the world, the result of experiments conducted in the [[Labyrinth]]. The researchers were attempting to control the planetary problem of corruptive hunger aura, itself the unnatural by-product of bottomless need, greed, and ambition, at the Monarch scale. They also wanted to create a viable hunger madra Remnant to use when [[Soulsmithing]]. According to Fisher Gesha, the notes Lindon found in book 2 in the Transcendent Ruins explain a little more: <blockquote> These notes reference an origin for this madra, a single source from which they got all their samples. They were trying to breed sacred beasts that left Remnants of this aspect, but they never made it. At least, not by the time these notes were written.” (Skysworn ch 7) </blockquote>

{{Quote Box|title=Numero Uno|quote=The being that some called the fifth Dreadgod, and others called the father of the Dreadgods. <br>Their progenitor, the original, from which they were all formed. Subject One.|source=-Bloodline, ch 13|align=right}}The experiment failed. The big unintended consequence is the rise of Dreadgods. However, [[hunger madra]] bindings were also born of this research, apparently. Subject One is called “The Father of Hunger Madra”

For some reason — probably because of the voracious nature of hunger madra — each dreadbeast quickly grew beyond control, eventually escaping the researchers and entering the outside world.

Subject One was the first one to become a Dreadgod because he put the hunger binding into his own body, but he had been the scientist. Thus, the researcher became the subject. [[Subject One]] is confined deep in the Labyrinth at [[Sacred Valley]].

===Dreadbeasts Origin===
(See more details at [[Dreadbeasts]] page and Reaper, ch 21)
Dreadbeasts were not created by [[Subject One]]’s research team. They existed long before Dreadgods, even back before [[Ozmanthus Arelius]] created his broom. They came into the world when hunger aura did, which came into the world when gluttonous greed and ambition did. So go figure. . . <blockquote> He never lost his admiration for those who kept the world clean, and one of the most hideous plagues in the world was the population of dreadbeasts that roamed the countryside, feeding and spewing out more of their kind. With his weapons, he would clean the countryside. (-Reaper, ch 2) </blockquote>

==Entrances to Labyrinth==
The [[Labyrinth]] entrances / gates are carved with images of the four dreadgods as a warning to all intruders{{book ref|ssw|2}}.

===Doors in [[Sacred Valley]]===
The Dreadgods are connected to the four holy peaks of [[Sacred Valley]] and to the ancient [[Labyrinth]] beneath the valley, that spans the Ashwind continent and runs beneath the Trackless Sea. There are several entrances to the labyrinth around the continent, doors marked with symbols of Dreadgods. Sacred Valley has two known entrances to the Labyrinth. The easiest to access is the Nethergate, at the base of Yoma Mountain. That gate opens once every ten years, allowing access to nearby rooms only. The second gate in Sacred Valley is near Heaven’s Glory School. It is through the Ancestor’s Tomb, high on Mount Samara.
<br />

==Dread Wars==
A Monarch cannot withstand a Dreadgod. In the apocalyptic [[Dread Wars]], the previous generation of Monarchs was all but eradicated, with only two out of twelve surviving a combined attack on the [[Wandering Titan]], who woke up the rest of his brothers.<blockquote>“They are...disasters. Four monsters, big enough to blot out the sky, hungry for destruction, and so powerful that the most advanced sacred artists in the world have to join forces to drive them off. Drive them off, you understand. None of the Dreadgods have ever been killed.” “They're sacred beasts?” “Corrupted ones. Like the dreadbeasts of the Desolate Wilds, they were warped and twisted by their own powers.”
“They're scattered all over the world. They burrow into a secure location and wait for decades...but when they wake up, they're hungry. Fortunately for humanity, no two have woken at the same time in centuries. But the last time they did, they destroyed the original Blackflame Empire.” [[Skysworn]] Cradle Book 4, (pp. 106-107)</blockquote>

*See also [[Ashwind Continent History]]

==[[Dreadgod cult|Dreadgod Cults]]==
Each [[Dreadgod cult]] is comprised of parasitic sacred artists who follow their dreadful monster and benefit from the destruction it creates. The Paths of each different cult uses aspects from their Dreadgods, borrowing power from them to create Blood Shadows, Living Lightning, Stone Spires, etc. etc.

#[[Redmoon Hall]], with their [[Blood Shadow]]s in a thousand different forms. [[The Bleeding Phoenix]]
#[[Abyssal Palace]], their faces concealed beneath hoods and stony masks. [[Wandering Titan]]
#[[Silent Servants]], whose mouths are bound. [[Silent King]]
#[[Stormcallers]], who ring their arms in scripts that crackle with lightning. [[Weeping Dragon]]

In the epilogue of book 6, [[Reigan Shen]] recruits the four cults to his cause, to represent him in the upcoming [[Uncrowned King Tournament]]. He is scheming for the power of the dreadgods, and world domination.

<b>See more detail at [[Subject One]] — the original researcher who became a Dreadgod.<br> And see [[hunger madra]].</b>

<br>About 2500 years ago, roughly, Subject One was a researcher exploring hunger aura and dreadbeasts. Because his work had unintended consequences, Dreadgods came into the world, the result of experiments conducted in the [[Labyrinth]]. The researchers were attempting to control the planetary problem of corruptive hunger aura, itself the unnatural by-product of bottomless need, greed, and ambition, at the Monarch scale. They also wanted to create a viable hunger madra Remnant to use when [[Soulsmithing]]. According to Fisher Gesha, the notes Lindon found in book 2 in the Transcendent Ruins explain a little more: <blockquote> These notes reference an origin for this madra, a single source from which they got all their samples. They were trying to breed sacred beasts that left Remnants of this aspect, but they never made it. At least, not by the time these notes were written.” (Skysworn ch 7) </blockquote>

{{Quote Box|title=Numero Uno|quote=The being that some called the fifth Dreadgod, and others called the father of the Dreadgods. <br>Their progenitor, the original, from which they were all formed. Subject One.|source=-Bloodline, ch 13|align=right}}The experiment failed. The big unintended consequence is the rise of Dreadgods. However, [[hunger madra]] bindings were also born of this research, apparently. Subject One is called “The Father of Hunger Madra”

For some reason — probably because of the voracious nature of hunger madra — each dreadbeast quickly grew beyond control, eventually escaping the researchers and entering the outside world.

Subject One was the first one to become a Dreadgod because he put the hunger binding into his own body, but he had been the scientist. Thus, the researcher became the subject. [[Subject One]] is confined deep in the Labyrinth at [[Sacred Valley]].

===Dreadbeasts Origin===
(See more details at [[Dreadbeasts]] page and Reaper, ch 21)
Dreadbeasts were not created by [[Subject One]]’s research team. They existed long before Dreadgods, even back before [[Ozmanthus Arelius]] created his broom. They came into the world when hunger aura did, which came into the world when gluttonous greed and ambition did. So go figure. . . <blockquote> He never lost his admiration for those who kept the world clean, and one of the most hideous plagues in the world was the population of dreadbeasts that roamed the countryside, feeding and spewing out more of their kind. With his weapons, he would clean the countryside. (-Reaper, ch 2) </blockquote>

==Entrances to Labyrinth==
The [[Labyrinth]] entrances / gates are carved with images of the four dreadgods as a warning to all intruders{{book ref|ssw|2}}.

===Doors in [[Sacred Valley]]===
The Dreadgods are connected to the four holy peaks of [[Sacred Valley]] and to the ancient [[Labyrinth]] beneath the valley, that spans the Ashwind continent and runs beneath the Trackless Sea. There are several entrances to the labyrinth around the continent, doors marked with symbols of Dreadgods. Sacred Valley has two known entrances to the Labyrinth. The easiest to access is the Nethergate, at the base of Yoma Mountain. That gate opens once every ten years, allowing access to nearby rooms only. The second gate in Sacred Valley is near Heaven’s Glory School. It is through the Ancestor’s Tomb, high on Mount Samara.
<br />

==Dread Wars==
A Monarch cannot withstand a Dreadgod. In the apocalyptic [[Dread Wars]], the previous generation of Monarchs was all but eradicated, with only two out of twelve surviving a combined attack on the [[Wandering Titan]], who woke up the rest of his brothers.<blockquote>“They are...disasters. Four monsters, big enough to blot out the sky, hungry for destruction, and so powerful that the most advanced sacred artists in the world have to join forces to drive them off. Drive them off, you understand. None of the Dreadgods have ever been killed.” “They're sacred beasts?” “Corrupted ones. Like the dreadbeasts of the Desolate Wilds, they were warped and twisted by their own powers.”
“They're scattered all over the world. They burrow into a secure location and wait for decades...but when they wake up, they're hungry. Fortunately for humanity, no two have woken at the same time in centuries. But the last time they did, they destroyed the original Blackflame Empire.” [[Skysworn]] Cradle Book 4, (pp. 106-107)</blockquote>

*See also [[Ashwind Continent History]]

==[[Dreadgod cult|Dreadgod Cults]]==
Each [[Dreadgod cult]] is comprised of parasitic sacred artists who follow their dreadful monster and benefit from the destruction it creates. The Paths of each different cult uses aspects from their Dreadgods, borrowing power from them to create Blood Shadows, Living Lightning, Stone Spires, etc. etc.

#[[Redmoon Hall]], with their [[Blood Shadow]]s in a thousand different forms. [[The Bleeding Phoenix]]
#[[Abyssal Palace]], their faces concealed beneath hoods and stony masks. [[Wandering Titan]]
#[[Silent Servants]], whose mouths are bound. [[Silent King]]
#[[Stormcallers]], who ring their arms in scripts that crackle with lightning. [[Weeping Dragon]]

In the epilogue of book 6, [[Reigan Shen]] recruits the four cults to his cause, to represent him in the upcoming [[Uncrowned King Tournament]]. He is scheming for the power of the dreadgods, and world domination.

*
[[House Arelius|Adopted member of the Arelius]]|Home=Unknown|Icons=Death}}
'''Yerin''' is the companion of [[Wei Shi Lindon]] and the apprentice of the Sage of The Endless Sword. She is currently an Underlady on the Path of the Endless Sword and, following the death of her master, the only follower of that path. She is affiliated with [[House Arelius]], the [[Skysworn (Organization)|Skysworn]], [[Akura Clan]] and the [[Reaper Division]].{{Quote Box|title=Umm?|quote=''Yerin herself wasn't sure how old she was, <br>but twenty had to be about right.''|source=-Uncrowned|align=left}} Yerin doesn’t know her exact date-of-birth, because of her traumatic childhood. She thinks she’s about a year older than [[Lindon]]. In [[Uncrowned]], book 8, [[Naru Saeya]] suggests she is about 20.

==Appearance==
In book 1, [[Unsouled]], Yerin is very thin, and shorter than [[Lindon]]. She’s scruffy, like she has spent the past weeks camped out in the woods. She cuts her own hair with sword madra in a perfectly straight line to minimize its interference in combat. Initially, she wears a tattered black sacred artist's robe with a thick red cord tied around her waist, made of blood madra. Her "uninvited guest". Her skin is covered in thin white scars from practicing the Endless Sword technique. After she advances to Underlady, her body is reforged in soulfire and her scars disappear. Encouraged by [[Akura Mercy]] and Lindon, she allows her hair to grow past her shoulders but continues to cut her bangs short and straight.

Near the end of Book 8, [[Wintersteel]], Yerin’s eyes become red and a lock of her hair turns red. Image by felcandy, with permission.
==Personality==
Yerin was dedicated to her beloved master, the [[Sage of the Endless Sword]]. Now that he’s dead, she clings to his teachings and his memory, seeking to succeed him as the next Sage of the Endless Sword, something that would come to hold her back. After her master was murdered in [[Sacred Valley]] she’s been suspicious of supposedly kindly strangers. However, once she gives her trust, she is totally loyal, especially to [[Lindon]]. She is an intense person, brave but not showy, without an ounce of self-pity. Her words are few but honest; her speech is habitually pithy and straightforward, but not mean-spirited. She doesn’t know when she was born. She is illiterate but she is intelligent and frequently comes up with dry-as-dust analogies, metaphors and similes. She hates and fears her [[Blood Shadow]], a piece of the [[The Bleeding Phoenix]], as it has murdered many innocent people, including her entire family.
===Her Fear===
<br />She fears being alone. She lost her entire family at about age 7 to a hungry [[Blood Shadow]] (see Skysworn). She lost her master The [[Sage of the Endless Sword|Sword Sage]] at about age 16 or 17. She doesn’t want to lose anyone else that she calls friend or family. She values her relationships with Lindon, [[Akura Mercy]], [[Ziel]], [[Little Blue]], [[Orthos]] the [[Sacred Beasts|Sacred Beast]], and [[Eithan Arelius]].

===Her Lord-Realm Revelations===

*Underlady — Her personal revelation is that she first started practicing the sacred arts because she wanted to be strong enough to never again lose the one she loves and be left behind, or leave them behind.(Underlord, book 6)
*Overlady — Her Overlord revelation was accepting that she is not her master, the Sword Sage. She cherishes his memory, but she is her own self{{book ref|ws|23}}.

==Biography==
Yerin was known to be a genius in her hometown before everyone was slaughtered by a Blood Shadow belonging to [[The Bleeding Phoenix]]. She was only seven years old.<blockquote> The entire purpose of the Blood Shadow was to steal power by killing or possessing others and bring that power back to the Bleeding Phoenix, but Yerin hadn’t allowed hers to escape. Not since it had killed her parents.{{book ref|ws|16}}</blockquote>

At only seven years old, she held the bloody thing back and stopped it from attempting to kill the [[Sage of the Endless Sword]]. Although he was completely safe, he was impressed by her willpower and natural talent, and chose to take her on as his apprentice. He challenged her and caused her many injuries and scars, taking her around the continent for training. When Yerin was about 16 or 17, he took her to [[Sacred Valley]] and went into the [[Labyrinth]] via the Ancestor’s Tomb on Mount Samara, intending to ask [[Subject One]] how to free her of her Blood Shadow. However, treacherous elders and jades repeatedly poisoned and then eventually ambushed and killed him, hoping to rob his treasures of his corpse. After his assassination at the hands of the Heaven's Glory sect, she was driven out of the temple they were using as a base. She met Wei Shi Lindon, avenged her master, and used his [[Remnant]] to ascend from Jade to Lowgold. About a month later, she met [[Eithan Arelius]] in the Desolate Wilds of the [[Blackflame Empire]]. He has guided her and Lindon ever since then. She joined the [[Skysworn (Organization)]] to fight Redmoon Hall, a [[Dreadgod cult]]. She competed in the [[18th Uncrowned King Tournament]]. She also helped evacuate [[Sacred Valley]] and battled many hunger madra monsters and even a monarch in the [[Labyrinth]].<br>

==Powers and Techniques==
Yerin is a top-notch sacred artist on the Path of Endless Sword who is consistently able to defeat opponents of a higher level of advancement, or multiple opponents of her level. After she merges with her [[Blood Shadow]], she can do even more.

==='''Notable''' '''Opponents and Duels'''===
While a Lowgold in ''[[Soulsmith]]'', Yerin was able to defeat 3 other Lowgolds who tried to attack Lindon. In ''[[Blackflame]]'', Yerin as a new Highgold was able to give [[Jai Long]], a Truegold, fear for his own safety until he decided to escape. As a Truegold in ''[[Underlord]]'', Yerin (along with her newly advanced Blood Shadow clone) was able to simultaneously fight attackers from the [[Seishen Kingdom]], Underlord Prince Kiro and Underlady gardener Meira. Her lifeline was cut and she was badly depleted. Later in the book, she again dueled the Seishen Underlady, advancing to Underlady herself and winning.

====Tournament Duels====
In the [[18th Uncrowned King Tournament]] Yerin duels several contenders. Most notably she battled blindfolded against Altavian Arelius from [[House Arelius]]. At the end of book 7, she gave her all against her best friend [[Wei Shi Lindon]] Arelius. In book 8, she defeats Calan Archer from the [[Stormcallers]] and with Ruby’s help, she outperforms [[Yan Shoumei]] and her monstrous [[Blood Shadow]] Crusher.
<br />Finally, as an Overlady-Herald, she fuses with Ruby and wins the crown against the gold dragon [[Sopharanatoth]]{{book ref|ws|24}}.
<blockquote> The Ninecloud Soul’s voice leaked in from outside. “. . .witnessing history here today! Sacred artists one and all, bear witness to the eighteenth Uncrowned King!” (Wintersteel chapter 25)</blockquote>

==='''Innate Abilities'''===
[[File:Yerin.png|thumb|right]]
'''[[Steelborn Iron body|Steelborn Iron Body]]''': Yerin's special Iron Body grants her superhuman strength dramatically beyond that of a normal Iron Body.

'''Sword Sage's Remnant''': Yerin is bonded to the Sage of the Endless Sword's remnant. This grants her multiple other retractable limbs that end in swords, as well as access to some of the Sage's memories.

'''Blood Shadow''': In ''[[Underlord]]'', Yerin gains the ability to release her Blood Shadow, who is able to fight as an independent copy of her with all of her skills and abilities. She is well coordinated with her Blood Shadow.

'''Netherclaw''' — First employed to defeat [[Yan Shoumei]] via her [[Blood Shadow]] Ruby, in book 8, [[Wintersteel]]. <blockquote> The black sword was called Netherclaw, named for the beast that guarded the Netherworld in the mythology of some culture Yerin didn’t care about. It was used by a slaughter artist centuries ago, an Archlord on a Path of blood and sword madra that had murdered anyone he came across to harvest their aura. He had eventually been stopped by a Sage…the Sage of Red Faith, in fact, though Yerin had a hard time imagining him saving anyone’s life, even by accident. Its binding was an advanced Forger technique, filled with the will of the murderer who had left it behind. Yerin had tried to activate it herself, but her compatibility with the sword was pitiful. The only reason she was able to use her master’s sword was her long history with it, and her familiarity with its power. Ruby could use the technique just fine, but she couldn’t survive doing it. Until now. Her copy of Yerin’s Diamond Veins had finally progressed far enough, her body was solid, and the spirit well had strengthened her madra. Scarlet madra Forged in lines over Ruby’s sword, weaving itself strand by strand, growing in power and intensity.{{book ref|ws|21}}</blockquote>

When Yerin merges with Ruby and advances to Herald at Overlady, Netherclaw becomes a truly terrifying weapon, used to defeat the gold dragon [[Sopharanatoth]] and win the [[18th Uncrowned King Tournament]], and Penance{{book ref|ws|24}}.

*See [[Advancement Level#Herald]]

'''Moonlight Bridge''' — a tournament prize for making it to the finals. She can travel anywhere instantly. <blockquote> “The Moonlight Bridge!” the Soul announced, and for some reason everyone cheered at the construct’s name. “This Divine Treasure allows near-instant transportation anywhere in the world! Special credit is given to Reigan Shen. . . “There are some restrictions, of course, on such a miraculous power!” the Ninecloud Soul went on, and Yerin quenched her expectations. “Yerin cannot bring anyone along for the ride, and the Treasure cannot be used in quick succession. If she moves all the way around the world, the Moonlight Bridge can take up to three days to recover. But traveling within sight? That, she can do as much as she likes. Imagine the possibilities!” (Wintersteel chapter 22)</blockquote>

<br />

==='''Path of the Endless Sword '''===
Yerin was taught the [[Path of the Endless Sword]] by [[Sage of the Endless Sword|The Sword Sage]], [[Sage of the Endless Sword|Adama]].

====Path Techniques====

*'''Flowing Sword''' (Enforcer): sword aura is collected from the surrounding area with every movement of the sword. This technique strengthens Yerin's strikes as the fight progresses.
*'''Rippling Sword''' (Striker)sends out a wave of sword aura it can be launched from her remnant arms at her back
*'''Endless Sword''' (Ruler): waves of sword madra emanate from Yerin, cutting anyone and anything caught nearby. Any bladed edge caught in this technique will emit sword madra of its own, setting up a potentially deadly chain reaction. In ''Ghostwater'', Yerin learns to control this better. <blockquote> Pain erupted all over Yerin’s body as her own flesh turned against her, seized by Yan Shoumei’s own Ruler technique. She’d burned soulfire for this, as it affected Yerin quickly, making her muscles twitch and her heart convulse. But Yerin didn’t need to move her body. Aura echoed from the black sword that had fallen at Yan Shoumei’s feet. The Endless Sword rang out, opening the Redmoon artist’s throat. (Wintersteel chapter 21)</blockquote>
*''' Frozen Blade technique ''' — learned from the Winter Sage [[Min Shuei]], who forged the wintersteel blade for Adama. <blockquote> Frozen Blade madra and icy aura erupted from her sword. White blades hung in the air like snowflakes as restrictive force enveloped them all. Yerin had an easier time controlling the madra than she had before, but it was still like wrapping her arms around the neck of a mad bull and trying to steer. (Wintersteel chapter 21) </blockquote>

Path of the Endless Sword

{{Cradle NavBox}}

'''The Path of the Endless Sword''' is a sword-aspect Path practiced by the [[Sage of the Endless Sword]] and his disciple, [[Yerin Arelius]]. After the death of the Sage, Yerin is the only known practitioner.

It is said that the techniques of this Path are more powerful than others as long as the practitioner holds a sword, or a source of sword aura, which is the function of the Goldsign. <blockquote>''"On her Path, every technique was half a Ruler technique. Made her more powerful, gave her techniques extra heft…so long as she held a sword. If she didn’t have a weapon with a sharp edge, she was worth less than any other sacred artist. That’s what her Goldsign was for." - Yerin Arelius''{{book ref|bf|19}} </blockquote>

**Rippling Sword:
***Sends razor sharp slashes through the air. Its appearance has been described as a ripple of razor-thing glass.

****Level 2: Sword Like the Wind - At this level, the user's sword aura is quiet, invisible, and everywhere. The user is able to make more effective cuts and block physical weapons with sword aura{{book ref|gw|10}}.
****Level 3: Whisper - The Winter Sage mentions this stage to Yerin during their training before the fourth round of the Uncrowned King tournament to give Yerin more tactical options{{book ref|ws|7}}.

Varic Vallenar

Nexk:

{{TLH Navbox}}
'''Varic Vallenar''' is the protagonist of The Last Horizon. After a ritual to summon different magics into him goes awry, he ends up with memories of five different alternative lives, each where he lives through, and ultimately dies to, a galaxy ending threat. After the ritual, Varic avoids the [[Vallenar Corporation]] while preventing the galactical threats he witnessed. Eventually, he discovers the legendary Zenith Starship ''[[The Last Horizon]]'', and becomes her Captain. Now as the galaxy's only seven-fold Archmage, Varic and his crew—made of people he knew in his alternative lives— save the galaxy as the threats he had seen begin to reemerge.

==Appearance==
Varic has dark skin, and has been genetically engineered to have silver eyes and hair. This appearance makes him look part [[Aethril]], however he is fully [[human]]. He has been genetically engineered to look exactly like his father, [[Benri Vallenar]]. He wears a blue mantle with silver runes that surround the hem, which glow softly when activated. He also wears an amber amulet around his neck.

In his current life, Varic is in his 30s.

=====Alternative Lives=====
'''As Spellbinder''': Varic wore a blue, [[Aethertechnology|aethertech]] mask that hid his face, though it had the ability to show digital expressions. He wores a black and white checkered top hat with a high collared cape woven in shades of black and white, with a checkerboard pattern in some places.

'''As the Blue Titan Knight''': Varic wore a blue Titan Knight uniform.

==Biography==

====Before the Ritual====
Varic was the loyal heir to the [[Vallenar Corporation]]. He designed a ritual that he believed would allow him learn more than one magic discipline, a feat generally seen as impossible. Instead, the ritual forced Varic to experience five different lives, one for each magical discipline he gained. In each life, Varic witnessed, and fough against, a galactical threat that would eventually killed him.

====After the Ritual====
After the ritual, Varic left his father [[Benri Vallenar]] and the Vallenar Corporation. In the following year, he tried to prevent every universe ending threat he foresaw. He raided the [[Iron Legion|Grand Hive]] and shot the barely formed [[Iron King]] into a sun. He saved [[Starhammer]]'s home and wife [[Leilari]] from the [[Priest of Night]], to prevent Starhammer from spiraling into a galatic tyrant. The [[D'Niss]] had already been driven out by the [[Titan Force]], so nothing was needed to prevent the threat, though Varic still felt as though he abandoned the Titan Force.

==='''The Captain'''===
After he completed his preventions for the end of the universe, Varic taught magic at the [[Magic Tower]]. Here, Varic avoided the Vallenar Corporation and remained known as a Archmage in seals and binding and a skilled water elementalist. Despite the fact he was only meant to stick to the curriculum of combat spells, Varic lessons included non-traditional uses of magic, in attempt to help his students reach a deeper level of understanding in magic and expand their capabilities. This led to Varic being suspended for a month by [[Porellus|Director Porellus]]. In that month, Varic discovered the [[Zenith Starship]] after hearing about a search for it on the Galactic Union [[Subline]], and becomes the Captain.

==='''The Engineer'''===

==='''The Knight'''===

==='''The Pilot'''===

==Alternative Lives==
Varic lived through five alternative lives from the ritual, in addition to the life before the ritual, and his current life after the ritual, making for a total of seven lives he's lived.

===First Life===
His first life was the life he lived before ritual. In this life, he was [[Benri Vallenar]]'s obedient son.

*Magic: [[Seals and Binding]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Absolute Burial

===Second life===
In this life, Varic was running from both the corporations and the Galactic Union, and wanted to become a mercenary pilot{{book ref|tlh3|14}} . He trained under [[Tanner Hall]] who taught him navigational magic and the Cosmic Path, though Varic's magical knowledge would eventually surpass his mentor. When the Iron Legion started to expand, Tanner saw an opportunity for profit, which eventually led to Varic's first time in an Iron Hive alone. He was saved by [[Sola Kalter]], and heard her give a speech to the survivors, convincing them to shoot their way out of the invasion. Inspired by her's dedication against the legion, Varic convinced Tanner to follow Sola after she left, and they began working together. Eventually, the two of them, as well as many others, raided the Grand Hive in a last ditch attempt to take down the [[Iron King]]. Only Varic and Sola managed to reach the Iron King in the end. Varic was killed by the Iron King after he plunged his had into Varic's chest, leaving the universe to be taken over by the [[Iron Legion]].

*Magic: [[Pathfinding Magic]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Cosmic Path
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Sola Kalter]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Iron Legion]]

===Third life===
In this life, Benri gave up on teaching Varic the Mirror of Silence. Instead, Varic chose to train under [[Kyri Prest]] to become an arena fighter as a water elementalist. He fought in arena as a prize fighter, and due to his unique status as a human wizard duelist, he was able to fight in the Visiri Prime Coliseum despite his lack of skill. Varic hoped to live up to Kyri's reputation in the arena by relying on only magic, but gave up on it after five years of training, believing he couldn't overcome the natural Visiri strengths. He started to look forward to returning to the Vallenar Corporation, but Kyri had other plans. Instead, she took him with her to fight off the Iron Legion in Lesser Karosha. They stayed in the system for weeks, and Varic had his first Iron Legion Hive raid in this life with Kyri{{book ref|tlh3|8}}.

When they were done, Kyri revealed the Hives had been attacked at once, and fled to the system. She takes Varic to the [[Titan Force]] headquarters, where she planned to give them the information, despite its confidentiality. There, after a rocky meeting with [[Doctor Cryce]], Varic and Kyri were taken to see the Blue Divine Titan. Kyri is tested for compatibility for the Divine Titan, but despite her attempts, the Titan doesn't respond to her. As Kyri leaves the Titan, Varic braced himself on its armor to help her out. The Divine Titan awakens at his touch, and while he is stunned, Kyri lifts him into the pilot seat. The Blue Titan shuts down again, still needing to get to know him, but Varic is welcomed into the Titan Knights.

*Magic: [[Water Elementalism]]
*Pinnacle Spell: None
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Raion Raithe]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[D'Niss]]

===Fourth Life===
In this life, Varic is an Archmage of the Mirror of Silence spell. At some point, the Galactic Union starts a civil war in pursuit of galactic dominance, silently led by the secret organization [[Solstice]]. Varic knows Omega works against the Galactic Union. The two don't work closely together, nor were friends, though Varic caught a glimpse behind Omega's mask of chaos. Before he is able to figure out Solstice's identity, Varic was executed for treason in a secret prison after a patchwork fleet was sent on a secret operation to capture him.

*Magic: [[Mirror of Silence]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Mirror of Silence
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Omal "Omega" Escalon]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Galactic Union]]

===Fifth Life===
In this life, Varic signs a Lagomorph contract. This, along with other arguments and factors, causes Benri to disown Varic. Varic tries to live off as a mage for hire with morals, but after too many nights going hungry and being homeless, Varic gives up and accepts a job from smugglers to verify and protect goods. They end up being caught by Steel Avalanche, who kills the crew. Mell ends up arriving, providing Varic the opportunity to send Steel Avalanche into space via. escape pod.
Varic is hired by Mell, and the two eventually end up in a relationship. Varic joins in Mell's Doctor Nova act against the Advocates and Starhammer.

*Magic: [[Lagomorph Contract]]
*Pinnacle Spell: None
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Mell]]
*Universe-ending Threat: [[Starhammer]] and the [[Advocates]]

===Sixth Life===
In this life, Varic is a personal guard to the Karoshan [[Queen Shyrax]]. At some point, genetically altered soldiers, the [[Perfected]], came for her. Varic thought he could defeat them with curse spells, as no one was his equal in magic, but failed. Varic was crushed alive under the magical weight of [[Alazar]], the Perfected Mage.

*Magic: [[Curse magic]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Unknown
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Queen Shyrax]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Perfected]]

===Seventh (Current) Life===
Current life.

*Magic: [[Memory Manifestation Magic]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Terminus Mundi

'''Facts from previous lives that haven't been sorted to one live or another:'''

*One of Varic's first times in an Iron Hive working as a mage for hire for a Galactic Union mercenary group.
*Varic failure in containing a [[Solar Dragon]]'s hatching explosion.
*Varic growing up on [[Dornoth|Dornoth IV]].

==Magic and Abilities==

Thanks to the ritual he is a sevenfold archmage and has an unique and more complete image of the [[Aether]].
His magic disciplines are

#[[Seals and Binding]]
#[[Navigational Magic]]
#[[Water Elementalism|Water Elementalism]]
#[[Curse Magic]]
#[[Lagomorph Contract]]
#[[Mirror of Silence]]
#[[Memory Manifestation Magic]]

Varic can also use basic Aether manipulation at a much higher capacity than other mages. This includes the ability to:

*Use telekineses to catch bullets and carry people, including himself, around.
*Break other wizard's spells and turn spells against its casters.

==Equipment==
'''Lightcaster IV Plasma Pistol''': A plasma pistol that shoots orange plasma bullets. Produced by the Vallenar Corporation, this line of weapons has the catchy jingle: "Lightcasters. They work anywhere."

'''Wand''': Enchanted for precise and focus targets. The wand is blue and contains a crystal, and resembles, but isn't, Aethertech. The crystal allows Varic to be sloppy with the incantation, while still keeping the spell ordered{{book ref|tlh1|33}} , at the cost of flexibility, complexity, and improvisation.

'''Shield Amulet''': Forms a protective, invisible shield around Varic, effective against all kinds of bullets and blunt impacts. The shield is only visible when struck.

'''Levitation Ring:''' Allows Varic to move around in space with the use of telekinetic force. It also allows for easier levitation when under gravity, though it is not much faster than running. Varic can also use it in more complex scenarios and to carry heavier weight with it than basic Aether manipulation. It has a limited power supply. It was modeled after the ability of [[Visiri]] to hover using their own source of energy.

'''Eurias''': Staff with World Spirit of an Ocean World.

'''Mantle''': The mantle is blue, with runes that surround the hem. These runes glow silver softly when activated. It provides protection against everything, from heat, magic, mental attacks, to the vacuum of space. This allows Varic to survive and move around in space. It also regulates heats. When under heavy attack, the mantle begins to unravel.

'''Processor Implant''': Provides access to the Subline, and send messages to others. <br>

{{TLH Navbox}}
Varic Vallenar is the Captain of [[The Last Horizon|the Last Horizon]]. After a ritual to summon different magics into him goes awry, he ends up with memories of five different alternative lives, each where he lives, and ultimately dies to, a galaxy ending threat. After becoming the Captain, he becomes the only sevenfold-Archmage.

==Appearance==
Varic has dark skin, and has been genetically engineered to have silver eyes and hair. This appearance makes him look part [[Aethril]], however he is fully [[human]]. He has been genetically engineered to look exactly like his father, [[Benri Vallenar]]. In his current life, Varic is in his 30s.

Varic wears a blue mantle with runes that surround the hem. These runes glow silver softly when activated.

'''As Spellbinder''': Varic wears a blue, [[Aethertechnology|aethertech]](digital in his current life) mask hiding his face. This mask has the ability to show digital expressions. Varic wears a black and white checkered top hat with a high collared cape that is "woven in shades of black and white, with a checkerboard pattern here and there."

==Biography==
===The Captain===
Before the ritual, Varic was loyal to the [[Vallenar Corporation]], and played the role of his father's obedient heir. Varic himself designed up with the ritual, believing it would allow him learn more than one magic discipline and look more deeply into magic than anyone has ever seen. Instead, the ritual forced Varic to experience five different lives. In each life, he experiences a unique childhood, trains in another magic discipline, and experiences a universe ending threat that ends up killing him.

After the ritual, Varic leaves his father and the Vallenar Corporation. In the following year, he would try to prevent every universe ending threat he foresaw. He raids the [[Grand Hive]] and shoots the barely formed Iron King into a sun. He saves [[Starhammer]]'s home and wife [[Leilari]] from the [[Priest of Night]], to prevent Starhammer from spiraling into a galatic tyrant. Presumably, he has also done things to prevent the return of the [[D'niss]], the uprising of the [[Perfected]], and [[Solstice|Solstice's]] civil war.

After completing his preventions for the end of the universe, Varic picks up a career in teaching at the [[Magic Tower]]. Here, Varic could avoid the Vallenar Corporation and remained known as a Archmage in seals and binding and a skilled water elementalist. Despite that he is only supposed to teach them combat spells, Varic's lessons included non-traditional uses of magic, in attempt to help his students reach a deeper level of understanding in magic and expand their capabilities. This goes beyond the curriculum Varic was expected to teach, which leads to Varic being suspended for a month by [[Porellus|Director Porellus]].

In this month, Varic searches for the [[Zenith Starship]] after hearing about a search for it on the Galactic Union [[Subline]]. He finds the Zenith Starship, The Last Horizon, and becomes the Captain.

==Alternative Lives==
Varic lived through five alternative lives from the ritual, in addition to the life before the ritual, and his current life after the ritual, making for a total of seven lives he's lived.

===First Life===
His first life was the life he lived before ritual. In this life, he was [[Benri Vallenar]]'s obedient son.

*Magic: [[Seals and Binding]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Absolute Burial

===Second life===
In this life, Varic trained under [[Tanner Hall]], who taught him navigational magic and how to fly. At some point, he was trapped in a [[Hive]] on his own, and was saved by [[Sola]]. Together, the two, as well as many others, raided the [[Grand Hive]] in a last ditch attempt to take down the [[Iron King]]. Only Varic and Sola managed to reach the Iron King in the end. Varic was killed by the Iron King after he plunged his had into Varic's chest, leaving the universe to be taken over by the [[Iron Legion]].

*Magic: [[Navigation|Navigational]] magic
*Pinnacle Spell: Cosmic Path
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Sola Kalter]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Iron Legion]]

===Third life===
In this life, Varic trained under a mentor who had been an arena fighter as a water elementalist. He fought in a [[Visiria]] arena, and was considered a prize fighter. At some point, he met [[Raion Raithe]], the leader of the [[Titan Force|Titan Knights,]] and became the Blue Knight. He and Raion become close friends, despite occasionally butting heads. Eventually, the [[Esh'kinaar]], Swarm-Queen of the D'Niss, broke into the dimension. In a fight to stop the invasion, the Esh'kinaar consumed the Yellow Knight and her Divine Titan whole. After two friends were killed, Raion and Varic had an argument. Raion wanted to go and fight, but Varic ended up retiring instead, not wanting to die in the fight. Raion ends up dying and the D'Niss ruled the galaxy. It is unknown how Varic dies.

*Magic: [[Water Elementalism]]
*Pinnacle Spell: None
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Raion Raithe]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[D'Niss]]

===Fourth Life===
In this life, Varic is an Archmage of the Mirror of Silence spell. At some point, the Galactic Union "takes over and starts a civil war in pursuit of galactic dominance." Varic knows Omega works against the Galactic Union. The two don't work closely together, nor were friends, though Varic caught a glimpse behind Omega's mask of chaos. Eventually, Varic was executed in a secret prison.

*Magic: [[Mirror of Silence]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Mirror of Silence
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Omal "Omega" Escalon]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Galactic Union]]

===Fifth Life===
In this life, Varic signs a Lagomorph contract. This, along with other arguments and factors, causes Benri to disown Varic. Varic tries to live off as a mage for hire with morals, but after too many nights going hungry and being homeless, Varic gives up and accepts a job from smugglers to verify and protect goods. They end up being caught by Steel Avalanche, who kills the crew. Mell ends up arriving, providing Varic the opportunity to send Steel Avalanche into space via. escape pod.
Varic is hired by Mell, and the two eventually end up in a relationship. Varic joins in Mell's Doctor Nova act against the Advocates and Starhammer.

*Magic: [[Lagomorph Contract]]
*Pinnacle Spell: None
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Mell]]
*Universe-ending Threat: [[Starhammer]] and the [[Advocates]]

===Sixth Life===
In this life, Varic is a personal guard to the Karoshan [[Queen Shyrax]]. At some point, genetically altered soldiers, the [[Perfected]], came for her. Varic thought he could defeat them with curse spells, as no one was his equal in magic, but failed. Varic was crushed alive under the magical weight of [[Alazar]], the Perfected Mage.

*Magic: [[Curse magic]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Unknown
*Corresponding Crew Member: [[Queen Shyrax]]
*Universe-ending Threat: The [[Perfected]]

===Seventh (Current) Life===
Current life.

*Magic: [[Memory Manifestation Magic]]
*Pinnacle Spell: Terminus Mundi

'''Facts from previous lives that haven't been sorted to one live or another:'''

*One of Varic's first times in an Iron Hive working as a mage for hire for a Galactic Union mercenary group.
*Varic failure in containing a [[Solar Dragon]]'s hatching explosion.
*Varic growing up on [[Dornoth|Dornoth IV]].

==Magic and Abilities==

Thanks to the ritual he is a sevenfold archmage and has an unique and more complete image of the [[Aether]].
His magic disciplines are

#[[Seals and Binding]]
#[[Navigational Magic]]
#[[Water Elementalism|Water Elementalism]]
#[[Curse Magic]]
#[[Lagomorph Contract]]
#[[Mirror of Silence]]
#[[Memory Manifestation Magic]]

Varic can also use basic Aether manipulation at a much higher capacity than other mages. This includes the ability to:

*Use telekineses to catch bullets and carry people, including himself, around.
*Break other wizard's spells and turn spells against its casters.

==Equipment==
'''Lightcaster IV Plasma Pistol''': Plasma Gun that shoots orange plasma bullets. "Lightcasters. They work anywhere."

'''Wand''': Meant for precise targets. Blue.

'''Shield Amulet''': Forms a protective, invisible shield around Varic, effective against all kinds of bullets. The shield is only visible when struck.

'''Levitation Ring:''' Allows Varic to move around in space with the use of telekinetic force. It also allows for easier levitation when under gravity, though it is not much faster than running. Varic can also use it in more complex scenarios and to carry heavier weight with it than basic Aether manipulation. It has a limited power supply.

'''Eurias''': Staff with World Spirit of an Ocean World.

'''Mantle''': The mantle is blue, with runes that surround the hem. These runes glow silver softly when activated. It provides protection against everything, from heat, magic, mental attacks, to the vacuum of space. This allows Varic to survive and move around in space. It also regulates heats. When under heavy attack, the mantle begins to unravel.

'''Processor Implant''': Provides access to the Subline, and send messages to others. <br>

Iron Legion

2025-07-22T04:00:02Z

Nexk:

{{TLH Navbox}}

The '''Iron Legion''' is an faction of monsters made of metal and flesh. They are considered an infestation on the galaxy, having only one goal, to make everything a part of the Legion.

==History==
For the character, see [[Iron King]].

The majority of time, the Iron Legion does not act as a cohesive group, and are ruled by Bishops, whose only goal was to maintain and propagate the Legion{{book ref|tlh1|28}}. Rarely does the Legion form strategies to take over civilized territory, not caring who controls the captured planets as long as it has raw materials and living creatures.
====Iron Kings====
With enough time and supplies, the Iron Legion can create an Iron King. Iron Kings are supremely intelligent and strong, with the ability to control the Iron Legion as one. They have access to the Iron Legion’s hivemind, allowing them to strategize and direct hundreds of battles across the galaxy at once. Iron Kings also have access to all information gathered and witnessed by Iron Legion creatures. Iron Kings are not infallible, and they have been defeated in the past after some extremely destructive wars{{book ref|tlh1|31}}.

The creation of an Iron King’s body is extremely expensive, and the creation of a mind is ten times more so. It is so difficult to create an Iron King, that only five, including the Iron King created in [[The Captain]], have been made throughout history. The previous Iron King that had matured was made was over four hundred years ago {{book ref|tlh1|28}}. In his lifespan, he had built the Grand Hive and had commissioned a device that allowed the revival of an Iron King, though it was not completed in time to save him. This device was then used by the most recent [[Iron King]] to revive himself after [[Varic Vallenar]] destroyed the Iron King’s body before his birth.

====In Varic's Alternative Lives====
In one of Varic's alternative lives, an Iron King was born and took over the galaxy. [[Varic Vallenar]] and [[Sola Kalter]], together with ragtag army of survivors, attempted a suicide mission to kill the Iron King at the Grand Hive. Only Varic and Sola managed to make it to the Iron King, and both died soon afterwards.
In another life, the Iron King was released by [[Starhammer]].

==Types of Sites and Infestations==
===Iron Hives===
Iron Hives are sites of the Iron Legion made of flesh and metal. They can range in size, from the size of taken over ships to the size of small moons. They can also resemble organs and/or be fused with taken over ships.
=====Grand Hive=====
Grand Hive is the fortress of the Iron Legion. The Hive is normally hidden from view by a black fog, blocking mundane tracking methods. Unlike other Hives, the Grand Hive has a purposeful look to it, resembling a planet-sized skull made of slick salt-white skin and black iron. The Hive is surrounded by fighter ships, emerging from a hangar bay. The hanger resembles a beast’s mouth, with miles-long spikes that jut out like tusks{{book ref|tlh1|42}}.

===Scourge Warrens===
A form of Iron Legion infestation on a planet, Scourge Warrens are underground Iron Legion factories. They take in any organic and mechanical matter and convert them into more soldiers. They are shielded from orbital bombardment{{book ref|tlh3|3}}.

==Fleet==
===Ships===
'''Penetrators''': Penetrators are short-range boarding devices that jam themselves into ships for the Iron Legion to enter. Each contain 24 Pawns, 1 Sentry, 1 Shepherd, and (optionally) 1 Reaver. Ships are usually attacked after some material.

'''Hunters''': Hunters are the main fighters used by the Iron Legion. They are wedge shaped and covered with insectoid carapace{{book ref|tlh1|3}}. Generally unmanned, these ships are heavily armed and more maneuverable over short distances. Hunters carry magic that broadcast their recent experiences when destroyed{{book ref|tlh1|7}}.

===Iron Legion Creations===
'''Creatures''': Iron Legion creatures are fist-sized lumps of flesh and metal with a single eye and a pair of leathery, mammalian wings. They can be found inside colonies, and are used as scouts by Legion.

'''Parasites''': Half metal worms, no longer than a finger and only a little thicker than a strand of hair.

'''Pawns''': Pawns are among the weakest and least intelligent of the creations made by the Iron Legion. They are minimally intelligent, only enough to happily follow orders, and not enough for self awareness or pain. Like other Iron Legion creatures, Pawns have a very repulsive appearance that requires special training to be accustomed to. They look vaguely humanoid, being made up from the spare body parts from the creation of other creatures, so they could come from different species and people. Missing pieces are replaced with machinery. They resemble four-limbed spiders made of flesh and metal.

'''Sentries''': Generally made from one body, Sentries are the larger and smarter versions of Pawns. They can be trusted with more complex tasks such as guard duty{{book ref|tlh1|3}}.

'''Shepherds''': Made from captured mages, Shepherds are the mages of the Iron Legion, using staves of bone and metal. They are black-hooded figures with tubes coming out of the shadow where its face should be. Shepherds are capable of speech.

'''Reaver''': Among the stronger of the Iron Legion creations, Reavers are the result of pushing the original organic body’s physical limits. Their organic structure is kept mostly intact, with metal melted into their flesh. Though their appearance can vary, Reavers commonly have steel grown over their left arm to form a crude blade while the right can use a weapony{{book ref|tlh1|17}}.

'''Bishop''': Outside of the Iron King, Bishops are among the most intelligent of the Iron Legion creations, and collectively rule the Legion in times without a King. Bishops do not have a body themselves, and are instead the consciousness bound to some Iron Hives. Bishops are able to form faces and limbs out of walls to converse. This form can be destroyed, but Bishops do not die until the Hive is destroyed. Bishops can rearrange and manage the structure of a Hive, including releasing weapons out walls, creating spells, and fixing damage. Bishops can also adapt to hostile mage's magic speciality and bring countermeasures. Generally, Iron Hives with Bishops exist for a specific purpose.

'''Behemoth''': Highly resistant to magic, Behemoths are massive beasts, their bodies made from caught astral megafauna and functional cyborg pieces, usually taken from scavenged dreadnoughts. Their size ranges from the size of cities to planets. Each has a unique interaction with subspace, their nature varies based on the body used. Behemoths are made to track down large-scale magic, and can suppress, but not prevent the use of, Aether. Behemoths are very costly to make ― only ten exist in the galaxy.

Queen Shyrax

{{TLH Navbox}}
{{TLH Character|Name=Shyrax the Third|Race=[[Karoshan]]|Combat Art=Imperial Execution Style|First Appearance=[[The Captain]]|Faction=[[The Last Horizon]]
*
Karoshan Rebels|Technician Gift=Enhancement|Mom=Shyrax the Second|Children=[[Rellask|Prince Rellask]]
*
[[Nasharia|Princess Nasharia]]|Origin=[[Karosha]]}}

'''Queen Shyrax the Third''' was the former Queen of [[Karosha]] until she was convicted of treason and replaced by the King Regent [[Felrex]] around eight months before she was recruited by [[The Last Horizon]]. Up until then, she ruled the [[Karoshan Alliance]] for nine years. She is the current leader of the Karoshan rebels who had retained their loyalty to her. Queen Shyrax is also the Commander of [[The Last Horizon]] and requested to reclaim her throne from [[Perfected|the Perfected]].

With some exceptions, Queen Shyrax is superior to others in every way possible.

==Appearance==
Shyrax is a nine-foot-tall, forty-one year old, Karoshan with leathery yellow skin and bronze eyes. She has golden, glowing, thick cables instead of hair, and wears a silver circlet across her forehead that was set with a diamond. Shyrax wears ornate, enchanted armor that appeared both militaristic and regal.

Underneath her armor, she wears an enchanted skintight gray suit.

==Biography==
=====Youth=====
In her youth, Shyrax wanted to run away and become a wandering Combat Artist{{book ref|tlh2|4}}.
=====Rule and Conviction=====
Since the abdication of her mother, Shyrax the Second, Queen Shyrax ruled over Karosha for nine years. In the previous year before the events of [[The Engineer]], Queen Shyrax was convicted of treachery by the Dragon Court for unknown reasons and was exiled. The throne was temporarily claimed by her cousin, King Regent Felrex {{book ref|tlh2|1}}. Before her conviction, Shyrax’s mother had urged her to give up the throne to Felrex, but Shyrax strongly disagreed, and threw her mother out of the room.
=====As the Exiled Karoshan Queen=====
In the eight months since her exile, Queen Shyrax has taken to recruiting still loyal Karoshans from colonies and building up a fleet while avoiding the Perfected. It is around this time when she receives a prompt to compete for The Last Horizon, which she accepts. Shyrax beats every opponent in their specialty and makes it to the end of the competition, but isn’t accepted. Instead, she is told to wait for further contact, and Shyrax choses to wait, confident that she would be picked.
By the end of the events of [[The Captain]], Shyrax has found the location of and contacted The Last Horizon and challenged Horizon for the position of Captain.
====In Varic's Alternative Life====
In her alternative life, Shyrax offered [[Varic Vallenar|Varic]] a position in her royal guard as a magical advisor. Varic also had a role in educating her children. The alternative Shyrax had stayed in power for years longer before the Perfected soldiers came for her. Shyrax had trusted Varic’s curse magic to deal with the Perfected, but he ultimately failed and was killed by [[Alazar]] the Perfected Mage.

==Family and Relatives==
Shyrax has multiple family members, including nine children, six of whom are public. Her known family includes: the Prince Consort Tellex, and the twins Prince Rellask and Princess Nasharia.

==Magic==
Queen Shyrax’s magic evokes the majesty of solar dragons, the draconic predecessors of Karoshans. Quick and simple spells can conjure body parts and suggestions of a dragon in a golden light, such as a claw of a dragon for attacks or a wing for protection. With a longer incantation, the power of dragons grows stronger, until a dragon seemingly made of plasma is conjured. Spells release an intense heat.{{book ref|tlh2|3}}

==Combat Art==
Queen Shyrax is a ninth-generation master of the Imperial Execution Style Combat Art, which is operated on the principle of self-empowerment. Its movements invoked the Aether to extend and empower strikes, and it was made to execute worms that burrowed through moons and bisect war-mechs{{book ref|tlh2|3}}. She uses a force blade that emits with golden brilliance.

==Guidance==
Queen Shyrax is a journeyman Aether Technician and is yet to complete her masterwork. Her Guidance is “t’rshentha”, which can be translated as efficiency, enhancement, or overclocking. With her gift, Shyrax can improve the performance of existing Aethertech.

==Other Abilities and Equiment==
'''General Superiority''': Queen Shyrax is generally superior to other people in various ways, not only in combat and magic, but other skills including tea making, cards, and possibly every skill out there.

'''Fleet''': Queen Shyrax currently leads and controls the Karoshan rebel fleet. The fleet is a size of fifteen hundred ships, led by her personal battlecruiser as a flagship.

'''[[Melerius]]''': A ring on Shyrax's left hand contains the ghost of the long dead Archmage Melerius, who acts as Shyrax's personal and magical advisor{{book ref|tlh2|2}}. Melerius is capable of manifesting himself, appearing in a swirl of mist. Most are unable to notice him before he manifests, with the exception of [[Varic Vallenar]] and one of the Perfected.

The Last Horizon

2025-07-19T04:01:00Z

Nexk: /* Crew Members */

{{TLH Navbox}}

{{TLH Character|Name=The Last Horizon
|Race=[[Zenith Device]]|First Appearance=[[The Captain]]|Faction=The Last Horizon
|Magic=Memory Manifestation|Siblings=*[[The Shadow Ark]]
*[[The Mortal Edict]]
*[[The Zenith Blade]]
*[[The Zenith Chamber]]
*[[The Zenith Processor]]
*[[The Zenith Engine]]}}

'''The Last Horizon''' is the ID of the [[Zenith Devices|Zenith]] starship, and also refers to the [[World Spirit]] of the ship.

='''World Spirit'''=
Horizon is the World Spirit of the Zenith Starship, holding the equivalent Aetheric power and weight as a planet.
==Appearance==
When she first appeared to [[Varic Vallenar]], Horizon was projected like a hologram out of a blue-green light. She is humanoid, though notably not human, with gnarled branch-like horns coming out of her head. Eyes float around her horns like a halo, and she is typically accompanied by manifested hands. These eyes and hands match Horizon’s colors, but distinct from one another. Horizon actual eyes contain irises in the shape of seven pointed stars. She wears long robes, and is capable of changing her height.

Upon obtaining a new crew member, she gains a new color that corresponds to the crew member’s aura color. As of the Engineer, Horizon is projected in blue (for Varic), red (for Raion), orange (for Omega), yellow (for Shyrax), green (for Sola), and purple (for Mell) light.

==Biography==
====Creation====
<blockquote>
''“My creators were very worried that I would grow beyond their estimations, though of course they had no need to worry. I would never go against their wishes.”''

''I could think of any number of questions about that, but I stuck to one at a time. “And what were those wishes?”''

''Horizon peered up into the sky full of memories with a wistful look. “To explore the galaxy. To settle it, and to push the boundaries of our understanding. To find adventure and prevent stagnation. To ensure that peace is never boring.”{{book ref|tlh2|24}}''
</blockquote>
Most of Horizon’s creators were human, but there was cooperation with the Aethril.

Horizon’s first captain was an Aethril Aethertechnician with a starship gift, which made her very compatible with Horizon. Together, they would settle planets and establish colonies.

====History with the Other Zenith Devices====
Though Horizon considers the other Zenith Devices her siblings, Horizon and the other [[Zenith Devices]] typically do not get along. When two or more Devices are awake at the same time, they often end up in petty arguments and battles to show who is better. Additionally, the Zenith Devices usually hate sharing their mortals with each other and refuse to do so except in extreme circumstances. In Horizon’s case, she is very possessive over her crew members.

Other Notes:

*[[Shadow Ark]] was created to hide from The Last Horizon.

==Magic==
=====Memory Manifestation=====
Allows Horizon to manifest the eyes and hands of those who left a deep impression on Horizon. The manifested eyes and hands carry the person’s abilities and/or skills. For example, eyes and hands could have embedded spells, or could simply be better skilled for certain tasks due to muscle memory{{book ref|tlh2|24}}. These hands and eyes are imprinted onto a pseudo-world, '''Terminus Mundi''', that holds their memory{{book ref|tlh3|23}}. It is this pseudo-world that makes Horizon a World Spirit. Horizon has at least 563 residents memorized in Terminus Mundi. Current known inhabitants include:

#Horizon’s first Captain, an Aethril Aether Technician.
#A Hypno-Goat from Xyleria Two: Eyes that spew Hypnotic Magic.

Horizon was not built with this magic, and she taught it herself{{book ref|tlh2|24}}.

Varic Vallenar is Horizon’s only captain to have inherited this magic{{book ref|tlh2|24}}.

='''The Zenith Starship'''=
==Description==
The Zenith Starship is light cruiser four hundred yards in length, with dark, smooth, metal hull plates that appear to be almost organic, and a shape that vaguely resembles a diving bird of prey. A blue-green light shines through the spaces between the hull plates, the bridge viewports, and the forward cannons. This color can shift to the colour of the aura of the crew member who's abilities is being channeled.

The interior of the ship is also covered with dark, smooth, organic metal with blue green lights. The ship’s interior can be rearranged in any order, and Horizon is able to move rooms and systems closer to or further from people. Some rooms, ie. the crew quarters, can be rearranged in any form the person inhabiting wants/desires, including layout and internal dimensions.
==Ship Abilities==
'''Long Range Teleportation''': The Last Horizon is capable of long range teleportation without use of subspace of her crew members or prospective crew members, an ability that is considered impossible otherwise. The crew member can also choose to reject teleportation. Additionally, there is some unknown limit to the range, Horizon is unable to teleport crew to the otherside of the galaxy.

'''Adaptive Systems''': Ship systems are based on the abilities of the crew, and are boosted when the crew is on the ship and at their helms. Systems are limited when she is missing crew members.

==Crew Members==

*'''The Captain'''
**Current Captain: [[Varic Vallenar]].
**Aura Color: Blue

A suitable Captain is required for Horizon to wake up. The Captain directs the crew and awakens the ship's power core. With Varic as the Captain, Horizon’s major fuel source comes directly from the Aether. Varic is also able to cast spells through The Last Horizon.

*'''The Engineer'''
**Current Engineer: [[Mell]]
**Aura Color: Purple

An ideal Engineer is an Aether Technician or has high compatibility for Aethertech. The Engineer awakens drones and a number of internal systems, and improves repairs based on the Technician's nature. Horizon’s major fabricators also awaken, allowing for the replication of high grade Aethertech with the right materials{{book ref|tlh2|9}}. With Mell as the Engineer, Horizon is able to build up fleets crewed by Mell’s Nova-Bots with her fabricators with very cheap materials gathered from asteroids {{book ref|tlh2|23}}. Horizon’s self-repair systems also improved drastically, and less materials are required. Without an Engineer, Horizon has very few drones.

*'''The Knight'''
**Current Knight: [[Raion Raithe]]
**Aura Color: Red

The Knight is in charge of ship security, internal and external, both shield systems and certain inner security measures. An ideal Knight is a master Combat Artist who can channel their Art through Horizon, and willing to lay down their life for their comrades. With Raion as the Knight, Horizon’s shield strength is boosted. Raion can also channel his Combat Art through Horizon, allowing Horizon to use short-range lasers that trail fire in the rhythm of The Dance of the Burning World {{book ref|tlh2|35}}. Without a Knight, Horizon’s shields are very weak, and can only take a few shots before breaking.

*'''The Pilot'''
**Current Pilot: [[Omal "Omega" Escalon|Omega]].
**Aura Color: Orange

The Pilot evolves Horizon’s navigational systems and Subspace drive, and enhances Horizon’s scanners. With Omega as the Pilot, Horizon once again becomes the fastest ship, capable of moving through long dives through Subspace without Drive failure. Omega is also able to share his unique Subspace diving technology with Horizon{{book ref|tlh3|38}}. Without a Pilot, Horizon can only use a default Subspace Drive.

*'''The Commander'''
**Current Commander: [[Queen Shyrax]].
**Aura Color: Yellow

The Commander commands Horizon’s fighters and shuttles. The Commander improves sensors and certain tactical systems. With Shyrax as the Commander, Shyrax is able to slightly enhance the fleets under her command, but not The Last Horizon itself. Without a Commander, Horizon has no shuttles.
The Commander commands Horizon’s fabricated fleets. Horizon’s ships also resemble diving birds of prey, with smooth plates of dark metal that shone turquoise in the gaps. The sizes of the ships vary, most are frigates or destroyers, and very few battleships{{book ref|tlh3|38}}.

*'''The Sword'''
**Current Sword: [[Sola Kalter]]
**Aura Color: Green

The Sword evolves Horizon’s guns and alternate weapons systems. With Sola as the Sword, Horizon gains access to Sola’s arsenal of weaponry, including a version of Worldslayer. Without a Sword, Horizon’s weapons are very weak.

==Special Ship Locations==
====Vault====
The protections to reach the vault are complete and seamless, built to withstand escape from World Spirits equivalent to Horizon even if the doors are open{{book ref|tlh1|49}}. The vault is kept hidden, with dangerous, potentially world-ending objects, or rather, Horizon’s trophies, kept inside. Horizon usually keeps this room a secret from even her Captain’s except in the most dire circumstances.
Glass walls that encrypt any transmitted messages line the cells containing the objects. The glass is only transparent to those looking in{{book ref|tlh1|40}}. Horizon can also keep minds in those cells in stasis{{book ref|tlh2|Epilogue}}.

{{TLH Navbox}}
The '''Visiri''' are one of the five main races in the galaxy. Their home planet is [[Visiria]], located in the Karoshan Alliance.

=Description=
====Biology====
Visiri have three eyes, with skin colors ranging in the spectrum of red. Their third eye comes in a variety of colors, and allows the Visiri to see "life energy," or rather, a reflection of a person's power and vitality through the Aether{{book ref|tlh3|prologue}}. Additionally, they have an innate pool of energy that they can use to empower and defend themselves, to hurl bolts of energy, and to fly. Visiri are generally more resilient and stronger than humans.

Visiri tend to have a weaker connection to the [[Aether]] than other races, and they do better with Combat Arts. Visiri mages and Aether Technicians are rare.

{{TLH Character|Name=Raion Raithe|Race=[[Visiri]]|Magic=Combat Artist|Combat Art=[[Dance of a Burning World]]|First Appearance=[[The Captain]]|Faction=[[The Last Horizon]]
*
[[Titan Force]]}}Raion Raithe is currently the Knight of [[The Last Horizon]]. He is a [[Visiri]] combat artist and the former leader and Red Knight of the [[Titan Force]]. <div style="padding-left:1em">__TOC__</div>

==Appearance==
As a Visiri, Raion has bright red skin and white hair. His third, center eye is gold colored. Raion wears a red and white combat suit, with white gloves. When making a dramatic entrance, Raion plays holographic, red and white fireworks behind him.

'''Casual outfit:''' Raion wears a sleeveless white shirt with red pants.

==Biography==
Raion trained his combat art in a planet where "the sun scorched his skin during the day, and the nights grew hard to breathe."
During his time as the Red Knight, Raion was unable to protect two of his teammates, leading one to die in battle and another to be infested and taken over.
Some time later, an astral dragon's blood soaked into his Divine Titan, leaving it to be in its currently empowered yet corrupted state.

Raion fought in the tournament for a spot on The Last Horizon. He made it to [[Varic Vallenar|Varic]], who barely managed to defeat him. With some hesitance, Raion becomes the Knight of The Last Horizon.

==Abilities==
Raion has superior strength, speed, and abilities like all Visiri warriors. He is capable of fighting and carrying starships using raw strength.

'''Power of Friendship:''' Raion has a unique ability that allows him to empower himself using the bonds of those who trusted him. In the [[Titan Force]], this ability allowed him to turn the tides of battle in the Titan Knight's favor, as he is able to channel the trust between him and the Knights.

'''Red Divine Titan:''' Raion can summon the Red [[Divine Titan]]. This Divine Titan has been corrupted by an astral dragon's blood, altering its abilities and appearance. It now has a molten, orange-golden light emitted by the metal plates and visor. It is much stronger than normal, able to take on opponents that normally required all five combined Divine Titans. When piloting it, the Divine Titan tries to fuse and push energy into Raion, causing Raion to not have control over himself and the Titan. The Red Divine Titan also has the ability to speak.

'''Aetheric Sword Art:''' [[Dance of a Burning World]] is Raion's combat art. With it, he can empower his force-blade with fire.

{{TLH Navbox}}
The '''Lichborn''' are one of the five main races in the galaxy. Their home planet is [[Dornoth|Dornoth IV]], located in the [[Galactic Union]]. The Lichborn have been in a generations-long war with the [[Karoshan|Karoshans]].

=Description=
====Biology====
With gray skin and glowing green eyes, the Lichborn are much more resilient than their human creators. Though they are still capable of gaining scars, Lichborn are much more likely to survive and recover from attacks and diseases lethal to humans. Their resilience is fueled by magic{{book ref|tlh2|1}}. The Lichborn ancestors were designed by humans, and are thus conventionally attractive to human standards. They tend to do well in politics {{book ref|tlh1|5}}.

====Fleet====
Traditional Lichborn ships are designed to appear to be assembled with bones, and are lit by green light. Centuries ago, the ships were powered by the same magic that give the Lichborn their resilience.

{{TLH Navbox}}
'''Karoshans''' are one of the five main races in the galaxy. Though not all Karoshans are affiliated, their main political faction is the Karoshan Empire. Their home planet is Karosha.

=Description=
====Biology====
Karoshans are much larger than the other four main races, generally around ten feet tall. Their voice is deep and growly {{book ref|tlh1|6}}, and they tend to be superior to humans in virtually every respect. Karoshans have a restrained demeanor and are generally harder to interpret to humans. Their skin is dull and thicker than a human's, and comes in all colors. Their hair strands glow, and are much thicker and are cable-like, matching with the color of their skin. Traditionally, hair is left out helmets due to cultural significance on Karosha.

Karoshans normally give birth to twins or triplets, and single births are rare.
====Aethertech====
Karoshans call their Technician's gift a "Guidance." For unknown reasons, Karoshans cannot awaken gifts that allow them to create Aethertech from scratch. For Karoshan technicians, their masterpiece must be made from a modification of existing Aethertech.

|Siblings=*[[The Last Horizon]]
*[[The Mortal Edict]]
*[[The Zenith Blade]]
*[[The Zenith Chamber]]
*[[The Zenith Processor]]
*[[The Zenith Engine]]}}
'''The Shadow Ark''' is the ID of the [[Zenith Devices|Zenith]] Colony, and also refers to the [[World Spirit]] of the ship.

='''World Spirit'''=
==Appearance==
Unlike [[The Last Horizon|Horizon]], Shadow Ark takes the physically form of a squat, muscled human with a crown of black horns. He wears violet and black armor in this form{{book ref|tlh2|52}}.

==Biography==
Initially created to hide from The Last Horizon, Shadow Ark has been a part of few ancient legends and myths, however most of which have been forgotten or unattributed to him. Out of all the Zenith devices, the Zenith Colony is the least known and up until his reawakening, many scholars doubted Ark's existence{{book ref|tlh2|30}}.

Shadow Ark's previous location was orbiting the planet [[Murrok]]. According to an ancient myth, almost a thousand years ago Ark was a dark moon that would open every few years to distribute gifts, only to suddenly vanish. The device, now one mile in diameter and unknown to be the Zenith Colony, was later discovered by the Advocates. It further shrunk to a human size, and was taken in to Advocate headquarters for further research{{book ref|tlh2|30}}.

====='''The Engineer'''=====
Shadow Ark plays an antagonistic role in [[The Engineer]]. After awakening and discovering Horizon is also awake, he leads [[Starhammer]] to him.

='''The Zenith Colony'''=
==Appearance==
Usually, the Zenith Colony appears to be an obsidian, multifaceted, human-sized, jewel that shone violet at the edges. The flat surfaces were smooth and glossy black, appearing to shift and twist its configuration regularly. The surface can split to reveal a shining violet light{{book ref|tlh2|30}}.

Shadow Ark can shift his appearance and size to be a space station{{book ref|tlh2|22}}.

==Abilities==
'''Recruitment''': Shadow Ark can send a pulse of violet light targeting worthy mortals that can awaken him.

''' Internal Colony''': The Colony can violate the laws of space reality by bending the Aether, allowing it to expand in size, to atleast a small moon, and allow ships and planets enter{{book ref|tlh2|32}}. The colony is capable of holding multiple planets. According to Ark, with enough World Spirits cooperating within his system, he could surpass '''The Last Horizon'''{{book ref|tlh3|16}}. Inside the colony, space appears to be a fractured kaleidoscope of purple, and Aether is very limited. Inhabiting planets retain their Aether levels{{book ref|tlh3|23}}.

{{Quote Box|title=Relevant Quote|quote=''"Shadow Ark. When locked away, it cannot be found. Not by magic, not by Aethertech, not by a million ships with a million scanners.”"''|source=-Horizon (The Engineer)|align=right}}

'''Undetectable''': Shadow Ark is completely undetectable, capable of hiding those inside of him from any source, including '''The Last Horizon'''. This ability extends to Shadow Ark repositioning, which he is only meant to do every few years. When repositions, Shadow Ark is quietly and undetectable, not disrupting Subspace.
==Inhabitants==
====Gatekeeper====
To access most of his abilities, Shadow Ark needs a Gatekeeper, a mortal who is dedicated to the ideals of service and defense, with the power to defend and mediate between his inhabitants{{book ref|tlh3|16}}. Known Gatekeepers include:
*[[Starhammer|'''Starhammer''']] ([[The Engineer]])
*[[Queen Shyrax|'''Queen Shyrax''']] ([[The Knight]])

====Planets====
*[[Basyrryx]]
*[[Titan Force|Titan Force Headquarters]]

Sola Kalter

2025-04-20T07:00:18Z

Nexk:

{{TLH Navbox}}
{{TLH Character|Name=Sola Kalter|Race=[[Lichborn]]|First Appearance=The Captain|Faction=The Last Horizon}}
'''Sola Kalter''' is currently the Sword of [[The Last Horizon]]. Also known as the Fallen Sword, she is known for her crusade against the Iron Legion.

==Appearance==
When in combat or in unsafe situations, Sola wears featureless, gray, Aethertech armor. Her helmet has an emerald green visor.
Like other [[Lichborn]], Sola has the appearance of a model, with pale gray skin and green eyes that glow. She has thick black hair, kept short to fit in her helmet. When she is not wearing armor, Sola wears a dull gray flight suit.

==History==
At some point in time, Sola was a survivor in a hopeless scenario.
On [[Dornoth|Dornoth IV]], Sola rescued a wizard in a status chamber at the bottom of a Zenith wreck. The wizard would die soon afterwards, but not before handing her the Pyre, telling her it would light her way through endless battle{{book ref|tlh1|44}}.
=====Before Becoming the Sword of the Last Horizon=====
Sola Kalter was known by many organizations for her crusade against the Iron Legion, and often receives information from the [[Galactic Union]], [[Karoshan Alliance]], and corporations on the Iron Legion. She is often trusted with confidential information, due to her sole interest in the Legion. Among ordinary people, the Fallen Sword is considered more of a myth. There are many rumors surrounding Sola’s deaths and her immortality is relatively unknown.
=====As the Sword of the Last Horizon=====
As [[Varic Vallenar|Varic Vallenar’s]] request for the Last Horizon was the defeat of the Iron Legion, Sola has no specific goal as the Sword, and instead must chose one at a later date. Sola participated in the battle against the Iron Legion, and made the final killing shot at the Iron King, with the help of the rest of the crew.
====In Varic’s Alternative Life====
Sola Kalter saved Varic when he was in trapped in an Iron Hive. From there, the two would work together against the Iron Legion. Sola was the one to convince Varic to form an attack on the Grand Hive in attempt to kill the [[Iron King]], but it ended in both their deaths.

==Equipment and Abilities==
'''High Aethertech compatibility''': Allows Sola to carry her Aethertech Armour and Worldslayer, as well as many other Aethertech guns.

'''Aethertech Armor''': Sola’s armor is bound to her, allowing it to come back when she resurrects. The armor also has a self-upgrade feature, which gives Units according to the enemies she defeats. Those Units can then be used to purchase abilities for the suit or upgrade its inventory, weaponry, or actual armor capabilities. Defeating enemies can also introduce potential upgrades. Currently known abilities include:

*Health and ammo monitoring.
*Allows Sola to survive in a vacuum.
*Shields, which can partially carry the armor's weight.
*Cleansing Spells: Keeps the suit clean and the visor clear.
*Medi-seal: Sprays wounds shut to prevent blood loss.
*Anesthetic Injections
*Accelerates Perception.
*Auto-repair Spells.
*Counter Magic Features
*Holograms that can emerge from left arm.
*Speakers, masking her tone of voice.

'''Worldslayer''': A sleek, high grade Aethertech gun that is bound to Sola, and cannot be used by others{{book ref|tlh1|44}}. It is a handheld cannon that pulses with an angry red-orange light, and its barrel shined, with sharp planes of energy that flickered in and out of existence, making the gun hard to look at. When shot, an orange-red energy that only looks a molecule thin is released, looking similar to a blade, giving Sola the name Fallen Sword. Worldslayer is very powerful, destroying Iron Hives with one shot. However, it cannot be used to often without destabilizing. When an opponent is shot, a corrosive red light will continue eating at the wound. Worldslayer can interfere with [[Subspace]] jumps{{book ref|tlh1|42}}.

'''Pyre''': A complex spell anchor that resembles a spherical, hazy, flame made of mist that glows a soft blue-gray light. This flame is beyond Archmage level{{book ref|tlh1|18}}, and it is the source of Sola's immortality. When Sola dies, her body and armour dissolves into burning mist, before the Pyre flares up and forms itself into Sola's body in under a second. The flame can be split her into multiple pieces, allowing her to have backup spots to revive at. The spell can be eventually be exhausted, and Sola will die for real.

'''Inventory''': Like a video game character, Sola can place weapons into an intangible inventory. She is able to do this even if the weapon is in use by another person, as long as she is able to touch the weapon.
