Couldn't have thought of a better name myself.
AGE V(...) Repeatedly taking his own name in vain, Derm turned down the heat and patted out the flames. What remained was a smoldering, glowing ring around the crater of CHARIOT, a glowing beacon of latent sparks which persisted for many years before disappearing entirely.
Back on Pratchett, Robogoshi attempted to make a new creature with the visage of himself and his antediluvian ancestor, Time.
(...) It turns out there already
was a creature with that description, and Robogoshi's meddling caused them all to drop dead. Their souls did not remain.
(...) It was at this time that Empathica finally descended upon Pratchett, to see her new children. But she did not find the creatures she had so laboriously nurtured before, and instead found a creature of unknown origin: Humans. The fledgling species spread across the tundra, killing just about every other creature they came across, and made a home in the Goshi Jungle, starting a civilization there. The new species gazed up at the stars, and heard the whispers of a being that called itself Empathica. Above them they saw two moons gliding through the void, and one had a curious aberration.
A dark spot surrounded by a glowing ring was visible on its surface at night. The humans came to call this anomaly
The Eye of Empathica after the spirit that had guided them. It formed the basis of their spiritual beliefs for millenia.
Deep in the void, Arshorath and CHARIOT forged an army of mechanical beings. They would be the protectors of the deep, and fight against the forces of Tyrion.
(...) (...) Working together, they built a vast army and placed it in the hands of Tyreal. He knew what to do.
(...) Daenerys, in secret, created the humans from a lump of clay and sent them to the terrestrial plane. There they would be found by Empathica and given tools, growing into a civilization fit for judgment.
(...) After Empathica sent them on their way, Tyreal descended before the humans and trained the most able of them as mighty clerics. Before he could fully train them however, he was called away to combat the legions of his nemesis, Tyrion. "Remember well what I have taught thee. I shall return one day, but now I must go to defend this place from those who would seek to destroy it. Farewell."
(...) Tyrion had his own plans. In the darkness of the Realm of Nightmares, he amassed an army of fish demons and cast them forth through the rift of space. They arrived in the western sea, ready to escape to the surface and wreak havoc on the world above. Waiting for them in the abyss, however, were the mechanical armies of CHARIOT and Arshorath, headed by none other than Tyreal!
The battle raged on and on, and the fish demons fought well, but the overwhelming numbers of the mechanical army were too much. The fish demon army was obliterated with few survivors, and the mechanical beings used their combined might to collapse the rocky ocean floor on top of the rift to the Realm of Nightmares. With the rift sealed, Tyrion was trapped within the Realm of Nightmares with his demonic
courtesans courtiers.
But the mechanical beings were not satisfied. They overwhelmed Tyreal and cast him from the western sea, which would later come to be known as the
Abyssal Sea, and forsook their creators! Beneath the waves, the mechanoids mustered their strength and prepared to attack the surface dwellers and take the world for themselves, in defiance of the gods which had created them.
At the edge of the universe, so subtly that even the gods had not recognized it, a daemon had appeared. He watched the events of the cosmos transpire, and with his quill and scroll he recorded the events as they came to pass. He called himself
The Bookkeeper, and performed his duty without falter.
