Overview

The world of Empire is known to touch six other planes of existence. These are home to magical entities called eternals, some of whom are interested in the human world. Players - especially magicians - can meet and negotiate with the eternals. The eternals are not gods but posses magical powers that players will find useful. They have their own motivations and personalities, and characters will be able to bargain with them to advance their own agendas.

Eternals Interested in the Empire

This list of eternals is not exhaustive; rather it lists some of those beings who have shown a special interest in the Empire since its formation.

Eternals of Spring Known Interests
Yaw'nagrah Fertility, diversity
Arhallogen Survival, adaptation, poison, arachnids
Llofir Fungus, rot, decay, collapse
Irra Harah Youth, struggle, the weak
Siakha Storms, destruction, predation, the sea

The creature known as Capradan, the Horned Hunter, is a being of the Spring realm whose true nature is unclear. It is either a very potent herald or a lesser eternal concerned with primitive concepts of hunting and killing for sustenance.

Eternals of Summer
Eleonaris, Queen of the Fields of Glory Majesty, nobility, battle, victory
Jaheris, The Shadowed Prince Rivalry, betrayal, vengance
