Pelithine Fury

From The Apparatus


Template:Breadcrumb Shards > Pelithos > Fury


The Titans' Dream

  • Within the timestorm, there is a moment / alternate timeline where the titans have broken free and are engulfing the shard of Pelithos
  • the Theoi died preventing this being existing, ending the timestorm as they ended
  • The Weaver led the effort, using broken Destiny to choose another future

Freeing the Titans

  • opening the way from the Titans' Dream
    • perhaps accessing it through the Dreamer, the Strange, particularly the Obyrith
    • perhaps through broken Destiny power (the Loom, the Pyxis (the Final Doom!), the Owl, or again, the Obyrith)
      • The Final Doom of the Pyxis is the release of the titans
    • esoterically minded cultists were very interested to learn of the gods of Vashad being pulled forward to the present
    • some may have had limited success, accessing the Dream through their own dreams / strange rituals, gaining knowledge, insights, or prophecies, pulling emissaries or objects of power from the dream into the world
  • using the Key to draw through enough power to break them out
  • pulling down more stars, breaking the divine machinery to increase leakage

The Vaultlands

Helios (The Sun)

  • radiant heaven leaks from the sun
    • she goes free during the Fall, and the Sun stops emitting fury
  • sometimes visible around the sun is a prismatic corona
    • this can lead to weird weather: lingering auroras that illuminate even into the night sky, showers of sun-hail stones, unusual behavior among birds, unusual flares of insight and through above people, windy weather and even gales.

Selene (The Moon)

  • lonely hollow leaks from the moon
  • a shallow ocean of the titan's black tar has spread across the surface of the Moon, creating ragged-edged phases.
    • when the moon is full, Integral Night dominates (social fear, fear of what humans may do, etc). Under the new moon, primal fear dominates (fear of things: spiders, drowning, the dark, sickness, etc).
  • sometimes, under the new moon, slicks of moon-tar can manifest on the earth.

Opagos

  • pale maw leaks from the iceheart
  • glacier (cold/water/stone)

Kyterios

  • Everburning Obsidian leaks from the fireheart
  • volcano/desert/badland (stone/heat/reason)

The Aphxanamos

  • Starling Grove & Creeping Willow, mixed fractiously together, leak from the Rainheart.
  • jungle (flesh/wood/life/instinct)

Erebus

  • like the Rain-, Ice-, and Fire-hearts, the machinery of death came out of the time storm leaking
  • Braided Thought
  • its titancult managed to pull down a few stars, punching cenote-shafts down to erebus; the Great Crypt of Taphos is actually built in / around one of these to contain it.
  • the river-titan's waters of memory mingle in the underworld rivers: lethe, mnemosyne, etc. Some wake spirits that should drift away to their old memories, rousing them to fury-corrupted existence. Some wake to memories from the titan rather than their own, long lost heroes or realm-lords.
  • ???empties into the Bay of Pearls, pearls holds strange ancient memories?

Oneiros

  • the realm of thought / dream / pattern is also leaking
  • white tree and other pattern mantles work to keep fury corruption out of dream
  • titancults use dream to touch fury, fury corruption can come from within dream

Forgehearts

  • occasional ones are busted and leaking fury
  • after the titanomachia, some vaultlands are from worsened leakage from -heats, some are broken forgeheats, some are starfalls


Avigia

  • single starfall created it during the first titanomachia
  • Nightsinger / Dreaming Meadow (amber and mist, dreams, sleep)
  • weird moor, with strange dreaming mists (not auroras), sound of bells, dew-dappled, stags in the mist

The Maelstrom

  • whirlpool (dark/water)
  • Maelstrom Deep
    • insatiable greed, Davy Jones' Locker vibe
  • single starfall created it during the first titanomachia

Phidion Ori / Labyrinth

  • Lonely Hollow
  • the titan's cult (the sisters of stone) secretly gathered its moon-tar for ages, storing it in the caverns below the Phidion Ori. During the Titanomachia, they unleashed it, corrupting many forgehearts beneath the earth, creating the vaultland known as the Labyrinth.
  • as the caverns swelled below the earth, they forced the mountain dramatically higher

Synnephion Ori

  • storm (wind/sleep) - known as a source of mutation, it can still sweep up and transform people/things
  • radiant heaven above (stars pulled up earthmote isles), gilded vale / stranger below (the elongated, pulled up mountains)
  • clashing mix above and below

Mavros

  • death?
  • single starfall created it during the first titanomachia, accidental?
  • being lost? hidden dangers, reefs? being insensate? sap = lotus eaters - Severed Horizon, the Map Maker

Golden Waste / eastern coast

  • created by the battle between The Wind That Destroys and the Aegis
  • exploited by titancult of Scorching Abandon in the titanomachia via starfall, more toward the coast in the east, less toward Chemaros.
  • the stars fell and actually caused the sea to recede, extending the desert???
  • it has crept up into the lower slopes of the Kyterion Ori, where desert and volcano mingle
  • maybe the initial damage to the world is Strange corruption, this touches on dream, and thought-realm fury corruption of Scorching Abandon takes root here, mingling strange and fury in the desert, and giving it a weird relation to dream.



???

  • one or two stars fell in the titanomachia; maybe accidentally, not caused by a titancult's activities? led to some mini-vaultlands
  • In the Vasiliea? Erimia?
  • could be some one-off stars from other titans mixed in? small pockets of extra weirdness

Titancults

  • roped in lots of lycans / ferals
    • many early lycans were driven out of civilized lands, sometimes taking refugee in vaultlands, becoming corrupted. some 2nd gen ferals turned to fury as a source of power and became ensnared with it, forming titancults.


Sisters of Stone

  • gorgons (fury-corrupted pythians) that turn victims to crystal

Straywater Adepts

Dogs of Winter

  • kynes who feed upon the gore and flesh of Pale Maw
  • vulture familiars who also devour the flesh

Windfuries

Dactyloi

  • saltbound
  • leukrotta
  • cyclops
