Let Us Begin at the End

Deep within the Athenaeum of the Blue Bastion, there sits an obsidian pyramid. Delicately etched upon it we read inscriptions from the mind Holy Arcanist Illuminatus of the Heavens. The marks concern the Quantum Ouroboros, the dueling dragons of Space and Time. Roughly translated, they read:

​

"Woven into the folds of time, two great dragons, the Quantum Ouroboros, eternally devour one another, a dance with no beginning or end, a cycle of ages unbroken."

​

"History etched upon their scales, peoples clash and converge, empires bloom and wither, a melody ever familiar yet ever changed. The meandering bowls of the dragons are a crucible, digesting epochs, melting the past to reforge the future."

​

The wizards and scholars of the Bastion have dedicated centuries to the study of the deity Quantum Ouroboros, developing through their research an understanding of space and time that defies conventional logic. They have uncovered the non-linear nature of time and the phenomenon of spatial entanglement across vast distances, among other fundamental principles.

​

The repeatable nature of history is a concept open to analysis by philosophers, scientists, and arcanists alike, each offering unique insights. The convergence of their studies suggests that while the Ouroboros tends to repeat its patterns in the furrows of spacetime, slight alterations are observed through the ages. At every epoch—often marking the beginning or end of a revolution—great visionaries emerge to change the dragons' course ever so slightly, leaving immutable marks upon its scales. These luminaries, forever woven into the fabric of history, have been known by many names: prophets, pioneers, titans, trailblazers, maestros, moguls, and, during times of great upheaval: Wizards.
