The Apparatus (Enchiridian), sometimes called Backstage, is both a realm of the Integrum and a piece of Template:Category Founder technology.

Lore

Very little is understood about The Apparatus, as it is the most advanced piece of Founder technology that exists. Knowledge of its history comes from Template:Category Servitors and Template:Category Gods, primarily. Knowledge (or more often theories) of its function comes from Servitors and Gods, as well as the Template:Category Arcanists.

History

The Apparatus was created by the Founders in the Template:Category First Age. In a manner not well understood, it "unfolded" from Bastion into its own space, spatially adjacent to the universe, but not within it. This space was the first Template:Category Ethereal Realm, and it is believed that all Ethereal realms originate from Founder technology in some fashion.

During The Integration, the Integrum was built from The Apparatus by Template:Category Servitors.

If The Apparatus has changed in the ages since it was first created, no one who exists can say. It has toiled endlessly in its Ethereal realm throughout the ages.
