28 Days of Ingression
Day 1 - Origin Day
The Ingression began on the day of the Alchemist’s experiment. What some called a night of epiphany others called a calamity.
Day 2 - Aurora
Exogenous radiance refracted into a spectrum of light, bathing the world in a blanket of color.
Day 3 - Beware
The Patron issued a warning to his scattered Magnus, then disappeared.
Day 4 - Calling
The Listener did what he did best as the Interpreter spoke, ”The broken Magnus must re-form.”
Day 5 - Dream
The Shapers emerged from Portals in the Valley of the Dead and other Enlightened sites.
Day 6 - Exhume
The Anti-Magnus cult deployed the Shōnin Stone at the Peshawar Anomalous Zone.
Day 7 - Future
Humanity hurtled past the Darsana Point, lighting the way for the N’zeer. All who remained in N’zeer territory were subjected to mandatory Cybernetic Augmentation. Post-Humanity by fiat.
Day 8 - God
For the first time since the Exogenous Period, the Gods walked the Earth.
Day 9 - Hex
The Trickster’s Mind Palace collapsed, and her ability to traverse the Portal Network was stolen.
Day 10 - Internment
The Interpreter fell into the hands of the Shapers.
Day 11 - Journey
Against insurmountable odds, the Listener liberated the Interpreter from the Exogenous.
Day 12 - Kaleidoscope
A wave of exxem fractured the Western hemisphere, expanding the disaster of Epiphany Night to a global scale.
Day 13 - Lost
The Visionary watched in horror as his unwitting followers fulfilled what had been their purpose all along; to be consumed by the Shapers of the World.
Day 14 - Mission
Ironically, it was the unbeliever, the Skeptic, that rescued the Visionary from the beings he had once worshiped as deities.
Day 15 - Rebellion Day
At an untraceable location, the Humanist assembled the Alchemist, Skeptic, and Visionary. They reconciled their differences and laid the groundwork for a rebellion.
Day 16 - Nemesis
The Trickster turned up next, the Interpreter and Listener close behind. From the remorse of these seven, Nemesis was born. Bound to stop all that would repeat their hubris.
Day 17 - Omniscient
The Omniscient vowed their aid but found trust amongst the others in short supply.
Day 18 - Patron
Their errant Patron re-emerged, of body and mind divided. Not fully functional, nor fully indisposed.
Day 19 - Quantum
Too late to save their own world, the Catalyst erected barriers to prevent exogenous ingression in another.
Day 20 - Resonance
Nemesis found that the Resonance was the key to the Exogenous requiem.
Day 21 - Spectrum
The Spiritualist resisted mandatory augmentation, breaking free of the N’zeer. He then devised a runic language, based on the Exogenous spectrum.
Day 22 - Tessellation
The Dreamer returned from the Valley of the Dead, the secret to the Equation in her grasp. It was she who first informed Nemesis of the Tessellation.
Day 23 - Undine
A Courier from a distant node emerged, with knowledge indispensable to the fight to come; That of the Undine & Remote Participation.
Day 24 - Vesture
To avoid being tracked down by the Exogenous, each member of the Nemesis Magnus designed a disguise.
Day 25 - War
The N’zeer and Shapers clashed for territory. The humans were as ants to stomping giants.
Day 26 - X (Greek alphabet Chi)
On the verge of mutually-assured destruction, the Shapers and the N’zeer came to an accord. The Shapers claimed dominion over the West, and the East went to the N’zeer.
Day 27 - Year
For each group, the Exogenous year became 13 months instead of 12.
Various lunar calendars originated from each regions' traditional practice.
Day 28 - Zeal
The Exogenous ingression came to an equilibrium, but the damage had been done. Nemesis had lost their world, but they would not lose the next battleground: the world called Osiris.
