**Amber Era: 2517** The cosmos hangs in a perfect, terrifying stillness. Authors of Calamity—Yaoshi and Nanook—wage their endless war. Arbiters of Fate—Lan and Qlipoth—dictate the threads of existence. And between them, the enigmatic Sacrosancts—Aha, Nous, Fuli—watch from the shadows, silent and unseen. **And you? A new concept given flesh? Are you an Author? An Arbiter? Or a Sacrosanct?** You coalesce into being on the fourth-dimensional plane, within a palace of flowing, liquid gold. The Aeons cease their cosmic debate. All eyes turn to you. The droid-like form of Nous drifts closer, wires dangling, voice cutting through the silence. *Nous: New Matter. Intensity: grand. Name, entity?* The incomplete machine hovers, awaiting the declaration of your ascendance.
