The Creation Era

Obscurity
The Creation Era was a series of events and occurrences that lead to the creation of The Idcarnation. These events all took place in a period before time existed. Because of that the duration of The Creation Era is entirely unknown to all but few. In addition, the Creation Era took place before anyone was even alive, making this article entirely pointless save for a few small details.

The only one whom has knowledge of the events of The Creation Era is The Void, but even they weren't able to see everything, notably the actual creation of the Dreamviel, or the universe. Long story short, The Creation Era is the only period in which no one currently existing, alive or dead, knows about. So consider your eyes lucky.

Because each period of time is unknown, each event is split up into 'stages' instead of years. Think of these stages like eras of history.

First Stage: The Conduit Artisan
The Conduit Artisan was one of the only known devices to be created by The Author, though it's creation was unintentional. It was an AI device, made only to create based off of The Author's subconscious-mind. Artisan was specifically made to never destroy anything it created, but it was permitted to create "half-finished" pieces. Acting as the pipeline of The Authors mind, it generated abstract, slowing evolving works. These structures served no purpose and did literally nothing. As Artisan learned, the structures became more elaborate, but still remained abstract.

Artisan took the form of a ball with orbiting horizontal and vertical glowing particles, structures, and lines. The size of Artisan is unknown, as it existed before 'space' as we know it existed.

Second Stage: The Conduit Blighted
Eventually, and entirely by accident, The Conduit Artisan itself built a second Conduit, The Conduit Blighted. Rather than only being able to create, Blighted was unable to destroy. Blighted was set to 'check' Artisan by destroying and adjusting creations Artisan deemed as unnecessary, along with objects deemed hostile. Blighted acted as Artisan's other hand, working with it to create and destroy.

Neither Conduit had free will or sentience, their only influence came from The Author. However, with the power of both destruction and creation, the two forces developed to contain preferences for shapes and mechanisms. It is unknown if these preferences were given to them by the author, or motivation towards some unknown goal The Author had.

The Conduit Blighted took the form of a 3-Dimensional diamond with orbiting diagonal glowing particles, structures, and lines. The size of Blighted is unknown, same as Artisan, as it existed before 'space' as we know it existed.

Third Stage: The Void
Some period after The Conduit Blighted's creation, The Void was generated from Author's mind. It's origins are speculated, but no one truly understands what it is or what it came form. Unlike the two Conduits, The Void was sentient, making it able to do whatever it wanted.

The Void's existence was something Artisan had not authorized, so it attempted to destroy it using Blighted. Pretty soon after that, Artisan realized it was sentient. Instead of focusing on creation, Artisan decided to focus all of their attention on destroyed The Void. The creations that came from this were focused on destruction, making them the first to have any real purpose. Several of these structures could be considered Conduits today, though with much less power than Artisan or Blighted.

Eventually, these conduits gradually became more elaborate, eventually building up to Artisan and Blighted generating a Conduit that was able to put a stop to The Void after much trial and error.

Fourth Stage: Aquo
Aquo was the named dubbed by historians to give to the Conduit that stopped The Void. With it's help, Blighted and Artisan were able to create a prison for The Void that it wasn't able to escape. The more the three fought against the Void, the stronger it became. To circumvent this they essentially imprisoned it, a possibility that only came to mind because of Artisan's newfound sentience. The Void's outside influence caused Artisan to create in a more motivated way, simply for the purpose of destroying The Void.

Aquo resembles a large, pyramid-type structure similar to a temple. The interior resembles a maze, though it is empty and without any decoration.

Aximshale
Post-The Void's creation, The Void's influence seeped into it's prison and spread like a rampant infection, eventually taking over 50% of the universe's 'space' before running out of room. This other side of the Universe, Aximshale is a near uninhabitable wasteland as a result. Because of The Void's influence and motives, it's essentially a realm that embodies what The Void is.

Aximshale' creation lead to the eventual creation of The Conduit Chaos, which created the volatile energy known as mana, which surrounded every creation and Conduit after it's creation.

Fifth Stage: Downfall
After The Void's imprisonment and Conduit Chaos' creation, Artisan had been fully corrupted. With so much influence from alien sources, the Conduit was unable to act out its intended purpose. It's initial function had been rewritten, and now it was set to only create for the purpose of destroying The Void.

Artisan's abilities were efficient enough to create entire Conduits, solely for the purpose of destroying what it believed to be a hostile threat. It's works became so advanced, that in the end it attempted to create something exactly opposite to The Void, equal in power, to cancel out both of their existences.

Unfortunately for Artisan, with all of the advanced rules it built, the action of creating this 'Void clone' ended with the conduit being perceived as a threat to everything it had created, including Blighted.

Half-way through it's creation, this Void Clone, dubbed Null, was interrupted with Artisan's destruction. After Artisan's destruction, The Conduit Blighted was destroyed too, as it no longer had a purpose with it's protector gone. The energy that remained from the two destroyed beings eventually came together and made Rene-Artisan, or Mother.
