#oh god. neteri and castys. horrible

[brutal-nemesis]

Tell us some more lore about Erebus’ world, I wanna learn 🤩

(Feel free to answer whenever you want)

Ahhhh thank you so much for asking (*/ω＼*) let’s see what we can talk about...

Let’s start with a map. People like maps!

Okay just an FYI this map is for like...some long amount of time after Erebus’s story takes place, so the kingdom divides aren’t quite what he knew them as (and obviously some kingdoms have ceased to exist/new ones have formed). Also things are probably not scaled properly. But! Nathar and Taiyorum are both marked and haven’t moved since then, so you can at least see how far Erebus is from home right now. This is in the southern hemisphere of the planet, Canahi, so the weather gets warmer as you go up.

For a bit of Castys lore, you can see Quibhass there in the bottom right, where his Ice Day piece takes place. That group of islands called Saika that’s in the middle of the sea is where the human experimentation lab is located that he’s in for the Glass Day and Spiral Day pieces. And you know what, for some context, how about a blackout poetry version of part of the timeline!

Okay so first of all, Erebus’s stuff takes place around the year 535 Elta, which is before a unified calendar existed. Elta means “broken” while Kyavi means “united” because, well before year 0 the world was sort of divided, but after year 0 everyone was all aware of each other and shit. Of course he doesn’t think of it as the year 535 Elta right now, but for my purposes that’s what it is. Castys is immortalized in one of those blacked out dates before year 0, but spoilers be a thing so it’ll just be a mystery when exactly that happened for now.

In 452 Saika is formed and Castys starts his horrible test subject hours! And for those who have been here for a while and remember Jairus (poor hiatus child 😔), his story takes place in 746 as you can see. So that’s how everything is organized timewise!

Sorry this wasn’t super Erebus focused, but I thought looking at how everything is connected would be fun! Thank you for asking (❁´◡`❁)
