Story

Basic Information

The heroic epic destined to soar across the night sky was broken mid-flight. He chose to plunge into the abyss, offering himself up to an existence far greater and more inscrutable.

Never again would he face the pangs of parting, the sting of mediocrity, or the inescapable ravages of time.

His kin, his friends, and even his foes, he has kept them all forever within Ebwynnos, a realm now fused with his very being.

Story: I

In August of A.F. 2@17, a series of anomalous spiritual events manifested within a three-mile radius of Nara@1Bay.

@1 recorded emergency calls reported sightings of several individuals, previously registered as deceased, lingering near the ruins of @3. These individuals were later verified to have all perished in the explosion that struck @2 Port Town in 1@19. The cause of that explosion remains unconfirmed to this day, and all individuals involved exhibited varying degrees of amnesia.

<Italic:"I saw her, I swear... she was as young as the day we parted. But that's impossible.">

<Italic:"It's been @2 years since she bade me farewell, yet she remained as beautiful as ever. She just stood there on the cliffside with the others, smiling at me from afar.">

<Italic:"...When we are cherished, we will always be granted a second chance. EBWYN@2OS... Ebwy@1noss...">

The recording concluded with an unidentified static resembling the churning of seawater. Twenty hours later, the witness died at home of organ failure at the age of 76.

The day after this material reached Mythag University, Irene Caldwell, a retired researcher from the Awakening Studies Department and distant relative of the witness, Chambers Caldwell, received an O-@1 Silver Core that Chambers had delivered to her.

According to Irene, Chambers looked no different from his younger self.

He left only one sentence before vanishing:

"Please take Him to Mythag. He shall wait there for the last wanderer of Ebwynnos to return."

Excerpt from <Italic:Mythag University Silver Core Storage Records>

Story: II

Most faculty and students at Mythag are more than happy to seek Pontos's aid during field missions, and he never hesitates to lend a helping hand.

Generous, genial, and dependable, even though he is clearly at serious odds with certain members of Mythag, this Awakener leaves a staggeringly positive first impression.

However, while Pontos has agreed with Mythag to stop expanding the "population" of Ebwynnos, a flood of migration applications have poured into the Administration Office following several field operations that ended in "unconventional ways."

While Sylvia conducts group counseling for the applicants, the administration has hastily added two new field regulations:

1. Except in extreme emergencies, seeking aid from Pontos is strictly prohibited.

2. Except in extreme circumstances, entry into Ebwynnos is strictly prohibited.

Story: III

Pontos spent a long time tracing the cause of Leisha's death. She had endured far too many grueling battles and claimed far too many glorious victories, perhaps by poison, perhaps by some obscure sorcery; surely there had to be a reason, a reason for her to fall before such a feeble sea monster.

It was only much, much later, when a single strand of silver appeared in the hair of a human companion who had never joined Ebwynnos, that the truth finally dawned on him.

The waning stamina, the slowing responses, the unspoken but palpable longing for a peaceful, settled life... it was all so familiar.

And all at once, Pontos understood the name of the enemy that had eluded him all this time: "Aging."

It's the reason for Leisha's seclusion, her defeat, and the ruin of everything he might have lived for, it was something so commonplace, yet utterly inexorable.

But it mattered no longer. His own destruction had come early, and the power he gained in exchange was more than satisfactory.

No matter what unfathomable entity he must serve, whatever the price he must pay, the ravages of time shall never befall Ebwynnos again.

Unlocks at: Affinity Level 7

Story: IV

<Italic:"Is it that you won't allow aging, or that you won't allow anything beyond your control?">

He did not answer, nor did he need to.

The abyss had chosen him long before the disaster struck, for his unspoken obsessions aligned perfectly with the abyss itself.

Obedience, companionship, and stasis... he was as inescapable as the abyss: suffocating all things, yet preserving them for eternity.

Awaken: Seek you a feast, a hunt, or sanctuary? Pray to me, the primeval ocean will speak my name. I am Pontos, Lord of the Great Abyss.
Upgrade: I: Smart move, kid. The followers of that foreign monster are thick enough to always toss corpses into the sea. That's not an offering. That's littering.
Upgrade: II: Let's hope these little things don't eat you out of house and home. You know, feeding a large family is no easy feat.
Upgrade: III: Uh, not that I did that, but if you ever hear the sound of seawater and the rustle of wings inside your head, don't worry about it. It's perfectly normal.
Investigation Begins: Ready, little preys?
Investigation Success: Fools. To even dare encroach upon me...
Investigation Halted: No rush. The darkness of the abyss will swallow you whole.

Defense: I: Night-Gaunt, stop them!
Defense: II: Pathetic.
Hit: I: Guh!
Hit: II: Dammit...
Special Skill: I: Let go of that fantasy of escape.
Special Skill: II: You've already been marked.
Special Skill: III: Kneel. Become nourishment for Ebwynnos.
Skill: I: Surrender your senses. Reflect in the abyss forever!
Skill: II: Chin up. Show me your throat.
Rouse: Forever you shall stay!
Exalt: I will grind you into pale dust.
Over-Exalt: Before the ocean, no foe is unconquerable!
Enlighten: Observe: In Ebwynnos, the revelry never ends. And Ebwynnos's enemies will never know rest.
Enlighten: Ponder: Skin, muscle, nerve, bone, my whole body is being reconstructed. I feel whole and vital again.
Enlighten: Reflect: Spirituality gives rise to a new body, which is then filled with a trivial mind. Then those particularlt bright and lively ones will be gathered in one place, forever. Remember what I told you? The deepest part of the ocean holds everything... and keeps everything there.
Enlighten: Insight: Ah, I understand that shudder. But it's entirely unnecessary, my young friend. Accept your fear of mediocrity, of being slowly worn down. Look at me. You know you always have another choice.
Enlighten: Elevate: Aging is the only adventure you must face alone. It's your best friend, and your most troublesome foe. But the lights of Ebwynnos will drive it all away... you don't need to be shackled by such worthless memories.
Enlighten: Flourish: Such a pity. When you change your mind, you know where to find me.
Affinity: I: Those slimy fish-people are no friends of mine. They're my enemies. Surprised? The ocean never belonged to them anyway.
Affinity: II: Long, long before the land rose from the sea, certain presences stirred within this planet. They're mighty, sovereign, unfathomable. Neither malice nor mercy could define Them. Humans, like countless creatures that came before, meant nothing to Them. You could be swept away like dust, or protected as part of their territory.
Affinity: III: Prayer works. Think of it this way: If ants arranged themselves into Leonian characters at your feet, you'd at least pause to consider what they wanted.
Affinity: IV: As for the one who chose me... let's just say He's generous and rotten in equal measure. Where you land is entirely a matter of whim. You will be pulled from danger, that much is certain. Whether you land in another danger entirely, well, that's hardly the concern of that particular "journey." How delightful. How unpredictable. I'm considering keeping up the tradition.
Affinity: V: Hahahaha, alright, alright, don't look at me like that, kid. Just some traditions what you call the Elder Gods tend to follow. As for you, no price, no conditions. I'm always on your side.
Chat: Touch: Heh... Missing your time in Ebwynnos? It's right here, in my body. You're welcome to come back anytime.
Chat: About Dissolution: Erasing memory. Erasing existence. Familiar, isn't it? You know what I mean. Different origins, and yet They always breed in the dark.
Chat: About Mythag: I like spirited young people. Shame Mythag keeps such a stranglehold on entertainment, not even a decent hunting ground to speak of. And worse still, that filthy thing is strutting around in broad daylight, even daring to wear the title, <Italic:professor>.
Chat: What I Like: I hate to admit it, but once in a rare while, I find myself thinking that aging isn't just something time does to you. It's merely a symbol. So I allow it to leave a mark on me. Only in appearance, of course.
Chat: What I Hate: Yes, I know that disaster wasn't his direct order; it was merely an accident while he was out having fun. But that only makes me want to kill him more. That black mist... He'd better not wander off alone, and he'd better never fall into my hands.
Chat: About the Keeper: Everything I've done for you, and you won't even call me Uncle again. Aww, you're giving me a headache, little one.
Chat: About Tulu: Hmph. A little monster cozying up to that foreign monster. And some fools actually put us on the same altar? What an insult!
Chat: About Ryker: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Given the chance, I wouldn't mind stealing my oldest enemy's favourite plaything right from under his nose.
Chat: About Ebwynnos: There's a particular bond between Ebwynnos and me. Put it this way, I am Ebwynnos. It persists through me, sustained by this body.
