Chapter 2 - Databook 2: Origins of Halvrendor

[CYTHIONS]

Cthyions are powerful extramundane beings created by the Supernal of Life, Ambrolinia, and are the first species to exist in the Hortus. Seeking destruction, and wanting to bring ruin to all life, they attacked the peaceful Aeons and caused the War of Good Vs Evil, shattering the Ordered Universe into infinite other multiverses. Being known as the First Sinners, the Cythions were the ones who created the Ethical System of Evil, spreading this knowledge to all lifeforms across the Halvrendor, forming the objective truth of how evil tends to function, which is the way of the Cythions. These Cosmic Beings are known to exist within their own Multiversal Division known as Underhell, and are ruled by the Supreme Overlord, Lucifer, which is why they're called Demons in some folklore and fairytales, which doesn't help considering their appearance resembles that of demonic beings. They exist to spread the Idea of Evil across all worlds in the Halvrendor to give rise to other destructive beings like themselves, claiming that evil is the way to truth, which is how they got so powerful. Some often than not only infiltrate other worlds and bring ruin, just for fun. The Cythions are known to have cults and are worshiped like Gods, and with the influence of their Eythical System of Evil, the collective minds of those in the Halvrendor made Evil into an objective force of nature, which exists in every Prime Sphere, some known as the Dark Mother, or Lilith, like in Yggdrasil, while others can be known as Satan. These Ideas tend to manifest in the form of Alufray Spirits or other mythical creatures.

[AEONS]

Aeons are powerful extramundane beings created by the Supernal of Life, Ambrolinia, and are the first species to exist in the Hortus, alongside the Cythions. Seeking peace, and wanting to bring the world together, they were attacked by the Wicked Cythions which caused the War of Good Vs Evil, shattering the Ordered Universe into infinite other multiverses. Being known as the First Virtues, the Aeons were the ones who created the Ethical System of Good, in retaliation to the Cythions Ethical System of Evil. They decided to spread this knowledge to all lifeforms across the Halvrendor, forming the objective truth of how good tends to function, which is the way of the Aeon. These Cosmic Beings are known to exist within their own Multiversal Division known as Overheaven, and are ruled by the Supreme Overlord, Yahweh, which is why they're called Angels in some folklore and fairytales, which doesn't help considering their appearance resembles that of angelic beings. They exist to spread the Idea of Good across all worlds in the Halvrendor to give rise to other heroic and peaceful beings, like themselves, claiming that good is the way to truth, which is how they got so powerful to protect the world. Some Aeons often than not infiltrate other worlds and give rise to heroes, and save the world from other Cythionic forces. The Aeons are known to have religions and are worshiped like Gods, and with the influence of their Eythical System of Good, the collective minds of those in the Halvrendor made Good into an objective force of nature, which exists in every Prime Sphere, some known as Yeshua, while others can be known as many other names. These Ideas tend to manifest in the form of Alufray Spirits or other mythical creatures.

[ETHICAL SYSTEM OF GOOD]

Forged by the Aeons, who are the first beings created by the Supernals, the Ethical System of Good is not simply a philosophy, nor a belief, nor a doctrine. It is a Transcendental Formula, a metaphysical Constant of Goodness crafted outside the bounds of mortal reasoning, and etched into the very concept of moral existence. It is not "about" Good. It is Good, in its purest, preternatural, and objective form. This system does not suggest right from wrong. It defines what right is. It is the source-code of virtue, the architectural foundation of benevolence, crafted before language and morality had names. Known also as the Formula of Light, it is the blueprint of ethical beings, a radiant lattice of axioms that transcend time, species, and reality. Where the Ethical System of Evil seeks dominion, entropy, and the collapse of meaning into self-serving will, the Ethical System of Good offers structure through liberation, power through compassion, and transcendence through selflessness. It is not a weapon, it is an ascension engine, capable of elevating those who understand it into forces of true, incorruptible justice. The Formula can manifest, visibly and tangibly, around its wielder as glowing glyphs, inscriptions, and fractals of divine logic, coalescing into a sacred geometry that redefines the battlefield itself. Reality bends in the presence of the Formula, not out of force, but out of recognition: the Halvrendor acknowledges Good as a first truth. Each word within the Formula is a living concept, a pillar of the Ethical Superstructure:

- Liberation – The freedom of the soul from bondage, fear, or control.

- Hope – The defiance of despair, even in the absence of reason.

- Love – The selfless will to preserve and uplift another.

- Peace – The harmonic equilibrium of existence without coercion.

- Unity – The strength of many as one, without the erasure of difference.

- Justice – The balancing of all actions within the measure of truth.

- Gratitude – The reverent recognition of life's shared sacredness.

- Forgiveness – The transcendence of vengeance through understanding.

- Faith – The belief in that which uplifts, even when unseen.

- Humility – The wisdom to know one is not the center, but a part.

When deciphered, not with intellect, but with spiritual alignment, and spoken into existence, the Formula transforms the speaker. The individual does not become "good" in a moral sense. They become an emissary of the Ideal, a vector of the Formula itself. They are rewritten, reborn, and aligned with the Objective Good that underpins the logic of life. In this state, they do not merely resist evil, they undo it at the root, erasing the ethical error like correcting an equation. Entire realities have shifted course because a single soul carried the Ethical System of Good fully within them; One such soul was Arthur Pendragon, a direct descendant of the Formula's living essence. He was not chosen. He was born from the glyph of Hope itself and manifested within Yggdrasil. His blade was a vector. His life was a message: Goodness is the key to life, not as a preference, but as a cosmic law across the Halvrendor.

[ETHICAL SYSTEM OF EVIL]

Forged by the Cythions in the Multiversal Division of Hell, the Ethical System of Evil is not mere corruption, nor moral failure, nor the indulgence of vice. It is a Transcendental Formula, a cosmic expression of Objective Malevolence, a structured, preternatural truth: that to dominate, to consume, and to enthrone the self is the only true law of existence. It is not the opposite of good, it is its inevitable unraveling. Where the Aeons wrote harmony into the skein of reality, the Cythions engraved cruelty into its flaws. It is the inventor of evil. It is the primordial design etched beneath all things: the inescapable, logical architecture of conquest, isolation, and entropy. The Formula is not a metaphor. It manifests physically, violently, as glyphs and black flame sigils circling the wielder like inscriptions of cosmic disobedience. Those who bear its mark are not empowered by hatred, they are aligned with the will of negation, armed with the principle that freedom is a lie, compassion is weakness, and control is truth. The Formula contains seven living words, each a Pillar of Self-Deification:

- Wrath – The will to annihilate that which dares resist.

- Greed – The hunger to possess all, even the soul of another.

- Gluttony – The unending appetite to consume, until nothing remains.

- Pride – The exaltation of the self above all else.

- Sloth – The rejection of purpose; the embrace of inertia as dominance.

- Lust – The desire to take, to bend others into reflection of one's will.

- Envy – The hatred of that which is not yours.

Together, they are the Black Geometry of Dominion, each word an axis around which the idea of Evil-as-Truth revolves. When deciphered, not with intellect, but with surrender, and spoken into being, the Formula does not offer freedom. It dismantles it. It shows the bearer the ultimate realization: Evil is not a choice. Evil is nature. Evil is the answer to life. To accept the Formula is to reject unity, renounce humility, and shatter the illusion of goodness. In return, the bearer becomes more than a villain, they become an instrument, an execution, an idea. Entire civilizations have been enslaved, not by armies, but by the recitation of a few syllables from this formula, whispered into the minds of rulers until obedience felt like clarity. The most infamous incarnation of its truth lies within Ophelia, who bears the direct descendants of the Formula, seven incarnates, collectively known as the Seven Deadly Sins.
