Psychopomps respect aeons' work as custodians but also mysteriously view them as rivals. Shulsagas view them as messengers, are adept at interpreting their communications, and almost always follow their instructions. Outsiders often have difficulty understanding aeons' duality, even more so than mortals do. Pointing an aeon to another target, asking for its help, or dissuading it from doing its task is an almost impossible goal. 4Īeons are willing to talk as long as doing so does not impede their work, but communication with them often results in frustration and misunderstanding. To them, only two states of association exist: those that are part of the Monad, and those that are not. The very act of forming organisations is alien to them, as is the notion that non-aeons can be allies or enemies. They see every task as independent from others, and might fully support an individual whom they have clashed violently against in the past. Aeons only cooperate in matters of great existential concern when directed by the Monad, and only temporarily. Aeons embodying greater multiversal principles are usually considered greater, and their works proceed without hesitation when their goals jeopardise or threaten lesser aeons. 4Īeons have no culture, society, personality, or memory beyond the present. All life is life and all death is death, to be protected or eradicated regardless of shape. Creating or destroying life, and triggering a calamity or preventing it mean equally little in their manipulation of symmetry only the final tally matters. 4Īeons are not actively malicious but care nothing for individual beings or their struggles and emotions, and have no sense of self-preservation. However, the connection between the Monad and individual aeons is imperfect, giving them some personal agency in completing their tasks. 4Īeons are created with all knowledge deemed necessary to fulfill their task, and are constantly tapped into the Monad to receive instructions. When destroyed or upon accomplishing specific goals, they fade back to the planar fabric and their energies are recycled by the Monad. Aeons exist as an extension of the multiverse in the same way that organs form a normal creature, and understand themselves as parts of the Monad's whole instead of viewing it as a divine patron. 5Īll aeons are bound in a state called Monad, an omnipresent philosophy 2 or demigod that has existed since the multiverse's beginning and represents the supreme oneness between all aeons and the multiverse itself. From there, most aeons disperse to wherever they are needed in the multiverse and use the Astral Plane primarily for transport only bythos continue to reside in the Astral Plane after their creation. As a nebula grows into a critical mass, a new aeon is created, embodying the dichotomy of the nebula where it was born. When two opposite thoughts broadcast from other planes coalesce on the Astral Plane and collide, they form aeonic nebulae, which flash with momentary bursts of emotional auras and crackle in metaphysical debates. 4 EcologyĪeons are created on the Astral Plane. Some aeons adopt vaguely humanoid forms, but only vaguely, and all aeons are faceless. Their bodies are almost uniform in density and composition, and rarely harmful to the touch. 3 AppearanceĪeons care nothing about their outward shapes, often taking the forms of abstract swirls of quintessence dense enough to interact with others. 2 They constantly tinker with the fabric of the planes in an effort to maintain a balance beyond the knowledge of mortals. Aeons are an inscrutable family of monitors 1 who serve to preserve balance throughout the Great Beyond, either by reinforcing order or by promoting chaos.
