The Twelve Anew, deities made by the Allmaker Epani, have dedicated themselves to protecting the universe. But in Kairos’s eyes, this universe and its young deities were not good enough, and the old Time God tried to change and disrupt the universe, by bringing the corrupted form of Kinisis into its centre. With some help from the outside, and the chance use of a blessed blade, the Twelve Anew managed to work around Kairos’s broken mind and powers and destroyed the Nekro-Kinisis Corruption. But in the process, Kairos was killed, and Epani found herself maintaining all four Fundamentals. Thankfully, the old Allbirther, Sini, has returned. Renaming herself Ksini, she has taken Kairos’s place as the Goddess of Time. Now, the Twelve Anew are trying to settle down and rebuild once more, while getting used to their new leaders.
Meanwhile, in the Periuniversal Void, the Thantir, once again being run by the Tattered Navigators, have made their mark across the sector, working from their base at Savepoint. With a much larger crew on hand and several new members, the Thantir now work as both purifiers and protectors of the area, defending the local Space Between Universes from Corruption and Voidborn alike, while also healing those harmed by them. While the Thantir get along well with their neighbours and are slowly spreading across the Kinigian Wilderness, and the Ventra Expanse, trouble seems to be brewing in the next sector over.
However, Retvik, Litvir and Arkay are not currently with their fellow Thantir. The Missing have been hired by Overlord Deathven himself, and have been doing secret missions for the leader of Decay Lord society. Lately though, each of the Missing has been doing their own thing, and Deathven seems to have something special planned for them.
