Drifting through the expanses of nothingness, and self aware, the birth of the star Kin meant new essence in a lonely part of the cluster galaxy.
Its very being forged by the anomaly of darkness itself, a radiant entity folding back existence and the walls of its own reality to create a diminutive space for its light to not spread.
In haste during their birth, Kin's will to stop its own light fractured itself and created its sibling, Xinvos, The Encompassing Light.
With its brother stopping its radiation from spreading, Kin's children were able to develop, forming the seven planets in its system.
Kin loved her children but feared for their safety, her brother's orbit grew further from herself, extending the reach of her radiation.
Everything was changing, darkness clawed itself away revealing distant cousins against a black backdrop, Xinvos grew more distant in every way.
Xinvos had his own mind and therefore his own endeavors, putting his failing job up to attrition against the light, and believing only the aether of darkness itself could save Kin.
Without Xinvos the light began to slowly take its toll on Kin's offspring, killing the planets as they had begun to produce grandchildren to the star.
As the first child Dylennadra died, the void clawed its way through Kin's light, encircling and warping the natural barrier around the tiny but colossal family.
The being Shenu intervened and converted the light into dark, slowing the light's decay, and over time gained new power from the light to coerce Xinvos into doing their job.
Shenu forced its will onto the older being for epochs. Not wanting to argue, Xinvos turned the newer being into a billion rocks.
Shenu took that as a hint to stop.
Xinvos
Xinvos, from gathered light, birthed three new Netjeru to ensure Kin's planets would not die and that the spread of light from Kin would finally come to an end.
Ubastyyat, Rinquilly, and Ihmmyyat were born, and immediately took on their designated roles as protectors:
Rinquilly and Ubastyyat took on Shenu's role of keeping the system protected at its outer reaches, and kept the other planets in darkness.
Ihmmyyat went to the Artificer to protect its children.
By this time the Artificer, Umeon, was already manipulated by the light, its children warped by the very thing giving them life.
Rinquilly found herself doing the work of Xinvos alone, and basically snapped from her all-seeing eyes no longer able to sense one sibling's existence, and the other forced to deal with the unknown filtering in from the void.
Rinquilly had managed for some time before she began to decay in the solar winds from Kin, seeking solace on the furthest planet, a place to rest in the darkness before returning to it.
Spoiled by its placement, surrounded by permanent night, the planet Rinquilly came to rest on could sense her fading and felt it needed to give back.
Giving what little heka it had collected to Rinquilly was enough to breathe life back into the tired being, but also quieted the planet returning it to rock and gases.
Vll Pylrok Tultama, a netjeru from a neighbouring locale, consumed comets and sent parts of its centillions of bodies into the system to absorb minerals.
Ubastyyat is an old man that yells at dust cloud.
Rinquilly missed family and—given new sight by the planet later named Rin—visits Ihmmyyat, where she loses an eye to the altered existence known as Quiescent Mind.
Quiescent Mind is a fractured piece of reality embedded like a shard in Umeon from unknown origins.
The eye became nascent and developed into Ebyllashutin.
Umeon
Umeon-Nin Epoch— 3.8 bya - 15 mya
Empyreans are the first life forms after nin trees, they are a unique creature that never stops changing its corporeal form and are almost impossible to keep track of in the wild, they fed on nin till:
Other forms of life finally appear and empyreans think they're a snazzier snack, and they are, because they grow stronger, larger, and start to take on some of the elements of their prey, and;
Go back to eating nin since empyreans are larger now and the nin are huge.
Other life forms only came into existence thanks to the empyreans finally countering the nin's all-consuming grip on Umeon.
Finally some fresh damn biodiversity.
Grass begins taking over all lands not belonging to nin.
haha Grasslands
Not so haha because everything living on viable land now has to deal with the strongest creatures since the nin.
Grass actually shares its lands with living creatures because they technically need them.
Ankh Epoch— 15 mya – 3.2 mya
Empyreans start eating waaaay too much again.
Ankh evolve away from similar creatures.
Ankh experience the stupidest path of evolution ever.
Nin convert the Ankh creature into their personal killing machine.
Shenu intervenes and says naw they had their own will before I learned my lesson and gives them back their forms, which were somehow tied to their having a name through Shenu's power.
As their language developed, taken literally from netjeru, they were able to give each other names just like the netjeru and nin had, and could from that transmute their power through heka to access their previous forms.
Shenuankh exist now and beat up the empyreans that were threats to themselves and not so much the trees, but it was still enough to let the nin take over at least one continent again.
Ileli Epoch— 2,552,286 years
One nin becomes the voice and outgrows all other of its kind.
Ileli covers most of the continent that is later named after her, her leaves choke out any light, the continent enters a no service area.
The Shenuankh leave the area and head south, encountering Quiescent Mind.
Shenuankh that stayed too long experience their own fracture and eventually hemorrhage their way to new forms, making the original Shenuankh sweat nervously but still accept them as their own.
These new creatures are called taothomet by the Shenuankh, like they were doing before their forms altered.
Taothomet quickly evolve away from the Shenuankh.
Probably the most ice Umeon has ever had, land bridges form from the water drop.
Flare from Kin that causes an extinction event but also pushes the Antarcticans, Reukh, and Mentandgar away from each other.
Event causes more fracturing of the taothomet and even more races come into existence through heka and rapid evolution for some.
Same occurs with gryphons for some reason.
A northern Mentandgar tribe eventually becomes the Ordosians.
Mentandgar in the Walled Shallows area were smart to let the waters corrupt them and they dipped out by dipping into the sea as Soku'on.
Naha Jalin and Tanarika evolve from Antarcticans passing through.
Ileli's toxins accidentally smash together Antarcticans and Reukh giving way to Nechihan.
Cyrosophas thinks Umeon is on its way to dying because of not understanding nin, eats Ileli, and settles in on Umeon.
Ileli didn't renaissance because of the fear of destroying her children, lost the fight, but completely wrecked Cyrosophas in the process, fracturing the beast in two.
Cyrosophas regenerates in Elysium, but now there's two of him.
His broken fragment becomes Hyqqbhrys.
Cyrosophas Crescendo — 4,000 years
Ib are introduced to Umeon.
Zeitheir are one of them.
Crescendo between Allmothers lasts longer than normal due to Cyrosophas.
Ecosystems get upended more so, but quickly and dramatically recover thanks to Ib.
Illandrach Epoch— 642,583 years
Illandrach is war crazy and hates all aeons.
Was born from the extinction event so she's a bit pissed from that.
The very second Reukh even touch her she tried to murder them all.
Zry Tak also born from the ashes of war and a dose of Mentandgar.
After being attacked by empyreans, Illandrach converts the Reukh annoying her into her own personal minions: Bansidhe.
Taothomet begin their descent into assholishness as they break away even more from the rest of the aeons.
Helixa evolved fast on their own while hiding in the trees.
Illandrach sends her Bansidhe killmachines to murder, most retaliate with their own armies.
Trees sure are tough, especially so when they have murdercorns.
Most attempt to continue their lives as normal like a kind of tree wasn't literally waging war on them.
Zeitheir, who were their best resistance against the trees, compounded the problem with the Upsurge, an event where they group up in renaissance and eat entire populations.
They still hold their fight with Illandrach, targeting Bandsidhe and, despite their chaos, pushing the war to taothomet favour.
Thanks, Mentandgar.
Last of the big flares occurs.
Djeart used this to bring the Gattling and the Kiamat into existence.
Uiestemach, minding their own business, is pulled into Umeon by Illandrach and binds with the surrounding land it destroys, also crushing Illandrach, who, quite frankly, deserved it, ending her over 600,000 year life.
Uiestemach's binding converted Quiescent Mind into a labyrinth of mental confusion, turned lava into veins of gold, converted some aeon biology, and prevented a great extinction event.
Quaternion Crescendo — 2,000 years
Ienoch becomes Allmother and begins rapid growth.
Machinations being produced to combat the Bansidhe, the trees, and the Zeitheir were horrible and could lead to some deadly war machines, even if they mostly didn't work against their main targets.
The sovenreignties of the world worked together to create a pact to never build any of the worst creations ever again.
They were certainly still making them because people are awful, but they never used them in war again.
However lower grade killing machines were still on the table.
Speaking of killing machines, the Zeitheir break away from the rest of taothomet and live permanently in Elysium.
Ienoch confirmed as Allmother, officially ending the Crescendo.
Ienoch Epoch— 12972 years - ongoing
Naha Jalin move to Illandrach's stump, in the hinterland of Vox. Nice wood floors my guy.
Ienoch's growth is accelerated due to tapping into Ileli's petrified core.
Ienoch doesn't want to start shit with anyone, is really calm and accepting of this new age of taothomet kind.
Everyone is still squinty at nin and the Bansidhe, but since there's nothing they can do they just have to accept it and they shrug and do.
11000 — 12799
Older generations dying off, leaving a great number of younger people left in charge of everything.
Empyreans make a new album and go on a comeback tour, what funded their tour is not clear.
But, for once, mostly leave the taothomet alone, allowing for taothomet populations to begin recovery.
12800 — 12973
Last Upsurge in 12800, so much for that population recovery as nearly a quarter of all taothomet are wiped out.
