History of the Numenverse Through Religion and Prophecy This section gathers sacred texts, prophetic accounts, and doctrinal records from across the world’s known faiths, presenting history as it has been interpreted, foretold, and sanctified by divine belief. Here, events are recorded and framed through theology, omen, and revelation, revealing how different religions understood the rise and fall of nations, the appearance of Caeleste beings, and the unfolding of destiny itself. Readers will find parallel narratives, contested prophecies, and moments where faith reshaped the telling of truth.

Before You Read Available Records What are they seeking now? ✯✯Before you read✯✯ Welcome to the Nosferatu Lore Archive! Like those enchanted ledgers found upon the shelves in the Mage Consortium’s historic library, this archive is updated with new information regularly. Some knowledge, however, is not so easily kept. In the early months of the Archive's restoration, a number of critical volumes were stolen by agents of the Diabolus cult—torn from their wards, smuggled into shadowed realms, or simply vanished through infernal means. Since then, field mages, scribes, and sanctioned archivists have been dispatched across the known world to recover lost records, reconstruct stolen texts, and dispel the glamours concealing what was taken. As information is recovered, it is returned here and bound into the Archive once more. White panels indicate entries that remain unrecovered or are currently under Arcanean verification. Panels resembling book spines contain verified knowledge that has been restored and made accessible. Please be patient with the archivists—they’re very tired, slightly cursed, and doing their best. What are the archivists following leads on now? The latest communications tell us that the archivists are currently neck-deep in mountain ruins, coastal catacombs, and—unfortunately—one extremely haunted vineyard, searching for the next wave of lost knowledge. High on their priority list: Century-specific histories, especially from the lesser-documented provinces and wartime periods Country-led magical development records previously sealed by national councils or incinerated "by accident" Arcana bestiary entries, many last seen in scroll form, now likely scattered across half a continent And several crucial chapters from the Caeleste Treatise, rumoured to be in the hands of a retired demonologist who only speaks in riddles and is allergic to sunlight If you're reading this and happen to spot any suspicious glowing tomes, muttering parchments, or scrolls that keep relocating themselves, please don’t engage. Simply alert your nearest licensed archivist, and under no circumstances try to read them aloud. More to come. Assuming the next expedition doesn’t get eaten. What have the mages recovered? Through blood, sweat, and (more) tears (than they'd admit), the archivists have managed to recover for your viewing pleasure (and the Chancellors, who are, frankly, still fuming that any of this was lost in the first place and remain tragically unimpressed by their progress): Historical records covering 7th century Boszorkány (in records and education) History and Fellkin records for four of Aegisguard's vampire covens Information regarding ethos Information about three of Aegisguard's celebrated holidays • • Names and some facts about the other realms Access Classified Records Search the Lore Archive The Nosferatu Crown Archives The online encrypted repository preserving the collective histories, treaties, bloodlines, and recorded phenomena of Caeleste.

History of the Numenverse The Book of Lore The Book of Lore is the official historical and spiritual text of the Lethidian religion, combining divine teachings with the faith’s account of the world’s origins and major events. In contrast, lore books (lowercase) refer to non-religious historical records and texts written by secular historians or scholars. Read More Other Numen Religious Texts The Infernal Scriptures The Equinox Ledger The Celestine Doctrine The Mother's Testament The Severed Verse Other Religious Texts The True Flame Codex Scriptum Geminorum Scrolls of the Split Path Book of Prismlight The Vox Thirstae Historical Texts Lore Books, Volumes, and Records Lore books are secular historical records that chronicle the wars, political upheavals, and pivotal transformations that have shaped the world across centuries. Compiled by historians, scholars, and archivists unaffiliated with any faith, these texts aim to document history as objectively as possible, without the influence of divine interpretation or religious doctrine. Unlike the Book of Lore, which presents a theologically guided account of creation and events through Lethidian teachings, lore books delve into the darker, more complex realities of the world—empires rising and falling, revolutions erupting, and the cost of progress across all peoples, including non-humans and magical societies. While they occasionally reference artistic, scientific, or cultural advancements, such details are mentioned only in passing. Full exploration of those topics is reserved for other subjects such as History & Culture, Science & Nature, Applied Sciences & Technology, and the Caeleste Treatise. Though often challenged by religious authorities, many scholars regard lore books as the most complete and unvarnished historical sources available, especially when cross-referenced across regions and translated editions.

These works span a wide range of subjects, including the science behind ethos, natural Arcanean animal behaviour, recorded testimonies, Caeleste political theory, and analyses of major historical events. Often penned by researchers, mages, naturalists, or secular historians, non-fiction books aim to educate, preserve, and provoke critical thought. They are used in universities, archives, and Arcanean institutions as trusted sources of learning and theory. While not universally accepted by all cultures or religions, they remain cornerstones of intellectual pursuit in societies that value knowledge outside divine or mythic tradition.

It is created in the proselytes, a heart-like organ located directly behind a being's heart. Much like a heart, it circulates ethos around the body so that it may be used by the possessor. Most beings cannot survive if their proselytes is removed. ➣ Read the lore page on Wattpad YEAR ZERO Before the Numen revealed themselves to the world, beings in possession of ethos were forced to remain hidden in the shadows for their safety and that of the humans. Vampires, demons, werewolves and more were nothing but folklore. Year Zero occurred when the Numen revealed their existence, and ethos-possessing beings followed them out into the light. A new world was born, one home to humans and beings of ethos alike. Some human resistances try to revert the world to what it used to be before Year Zero, but organizations of ethos-beings, such as the Nosferatu, repel them. ➣ Read More (ch14 of TAoCD) ALL HALLOWS' EVE On Decem 31st, the son of Lucifer, Caedis, was born. This historical date was known as the Anti-Numen's birthday for centuries, until Lucifer's death, and Caedis' rise to power. Today, All Hallows' Eve is a night of ritual and offering to Caedis. He has been known to grant the prayers of His followers occasionally and bestows all who give offering with great fortune. It is also said that All Hallows' Eve is the night the veil to the Underworld is its weakest, allowing spirits to walk the living world until dawn. Leaving offerings for the spirits keeps them from doing harm. ➣ Read More (ch27 of TAoCD) THE WEEK OF SERENITY The daughter of God Caedis and the Zenith was born on Undecim 18th, and for the week that followed, the world was at rest. Thus, the Week of Serenity came to be. Centuries ago, the daughter of Caedis and Zenith played a part in the fall of the Devoured Numen, bringing centuries of peace to not only Aegisguard but all the seven realms. During the Week of Serenity, families and friends come together to repair broken bonds and forge new ones. Any conflict in the world also comes to a halt, no matter how large. These seven days are fiercely dedicated to peace. - LORE: Work NUMENVERSE The seven realms Created by the Numen, the Void (also called the Numenverse) homes seven planet-like masses called realms. All these realms hold a different amount of ethos, have their own rules, and are home to hundreds of different species. Some of these realms also possess gateways to pocket-worlds, smaller, hidden realms. ➣ Read More LORE: Image THE NUMEN Aegisguard's gods and deities The Numen are ethereal beings of unknown origin. They arrived in the place the seven realms sit and decided to build worlds. Some believe the Numen crafted these worlds simply because they wanted to create life and protect it. Others believe the Numen weaved these worlds as sanctuaries for themselves so that they would be safe when their superior inevitably came calling. ➣ Read More THE AEGIS Aegisguard's demigods The Aegis are the offspring of Letholdus, Aegisguard's God. They were created to watch over Aegisguard in his place, and most of them are worshipped as gods. They each possess a fraction of Letholdus’ ethos and can only be killed by other Numen-blooded beings. ➣ Read More Obcasus - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More Pandorican - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More Aegiserium - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More ⏎ Back to Nosferatu Home ⬆ Back to top ⬆ MAPS OF AEGISGUARD Explore Aegisguard through its maps.

Arcana-Science & Nature Arcana‑Science & Nature encompasses works dedicated to the study of ethos as a natural and measurable force within the world. This category includes texts on Arcanean reactive materials, elemental phenomena, Arcana‑infused flora and fauna, alchemical compounds, and the interaction between Caeleste energy and the physical environment. Volumes within this category often combine empirical observation with arcane theory, serving scholars, practitioners, and researchers seeking to understand how Arcana shapes biology, geology, climate, and matter itself. Whether documenting the properties of enchanted minerals or charting the behaviour of ethos in living systems, these texts form the scientific foundation of Caeleste knowledge. ⏎ Return to Lore Directory Arcana Materials Metals & Natural Composites, Crystals & Gems & Stones, Rocks & Minerals, Arcana Compounds, etc. View full material index Arcanean Metals and Natural Composites Metals and natural composites with Arcanean properties and abilities & 'mundane' metals with anti-ethos abilities Class: Indicates Arcana potency. Lower classes (I–III) are minimally reactive, while upper classes (VIII–X) exhibit intense Arcanean resonance or volatility [see below for expanded term descriptions] ✵ Rarity: Specifies the rarity of the material, with higher rates (V-VII) being rarer than lower ratings (I-IV) ✵ Arcana Affinity: Lists the dominant Arcana type the material interacts with (eg. Fire, Ice, Nether, or Numen, Demon, Vampire, Lycan, Mage etc.) ✵ Reactive Behaviour: Describes how the material behaves when exposed to Arcana [see below for expanded term descriptions] ✵ Resonance Rating: Measures the material’s raw Arcanean 'aura' on proximity scanners or thaumic resonance meters (lower ratings mean that the material is less likely to be detected) ✵ Regulatory Status: Indicates whether it’s legal to possess, trade, enchant, or use this material in Nosferatu and Consortium-monitored territories [see below for expanded term descriptions] ✵ Constituents: Lists the individual substances that make up a natural composite Demonbone Class: VIII Rarity: VII Arcana Affinity: Demon Reactive Behaviour: Thanocidic Resonance Rating: 4-5 Regulatory Status: Unknown Constituents: N/A Read More Deridiuz Class: X Rarity: VII Arcana Affinity: Numen, Demon Reactive Behaviour: Thanocidic Resonance Rating: 0.5-1 Regulatory Status: Prohibited Constituents: N/A Read More Ebonsteel Class: V Rarity: IV Arcana Affinity: Enchantment Reactive Behaviour: Stable Resonance Rating: 8.5-10 Regulatory Status: Free Trade Constituents: N/A Read More Gold Class: I Rarity: III Arcana Affinity: Aegis Reactive Behaviour: Inert Resonance Rating: 0-0.5 Regulatory Status: Free Trade Constituents: N/A Read More Lunacite Class: IX Rarity: IV Arcana Affinity: Biological Material Reactive Behaviour: Stable Resonance Rating: 6-7 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Mortem Metallum Class: X Rarity: VII Arcana Affinity: All Reactive Behaviour: Thanocidic Resonance Rating: 0 Regulatory Status: Prohibited Constituents: N/A Read More Platinum Class: III Rarity: IV Arcana Affinity: Demon Reactive Behaviour: Inert, Stable Resonance Rating: 7-8.5 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Quicksilver Class: IV Rarity: IV Arcana Affinity: Caeleste Reactive Behaviour: Inert, Stable Resonance Rating: 6-7 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Rhodium Class: II Rarity: V Arcana Affinity: Demon Reactive Behaviour: Inert, Stable Resonance Rating: 6-7 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Silver Class: II Rarity: II Arcana Affinity: Caeleste Reactive Behaviour: Inert, Stable Resonance Rating: 0.5-1.5 Regulatory Status: Free Trade Constituents: N/A Read More Sunroot Gold Class: VII Rarity: VI Arcana Affinity: Mage, Witch, Seer Reactive Behaviour: Volatile Resonance Rating: 2-2.5 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Tenebricite Class: IX Rarity: VII Arcana Affinity: Enchantment Reactive Behaviour: Stable Resonance Rating: 6.5-8 Regulatory Status: Designated Use Only Constituents: N/A Read More Varyn Brass Class: II Rarity: III Arcana Affinity: Heat, Strengthening Reactive Behaviour: Stable Resonance Rating: 8-9 Regulatory Status: Free Trade Constituents: Etheric gold, cryptic iron, arcane steel Read More Vendite Class: IX Rarity: VI Arcana Affinity: Elven, Enchantment Reactive Behaviour: Inert, Volatile Resonance Rating: 0-1 Regulatory Status: Restricted Constituents: N/A Read More Reactive Behaviour Terms Inert: Non-reactive. Either fully immune to Arcana or nullifies nearby effects. Common in containment units, prisons, or environments where ethos suppression is needed ✵ Stable: The material interacts predictably with Arcana. It may store, channel, or amplify ethos, but without unexpected side effects. Preferred in enchantments and long-term Arcanean constructs ✵ Volatile: Highly reactive. The material may cause surges, Arcanean feedback, explosions, or corruption if mishandled. Dangerous to untrained users. Often used in destructive rituals or unstable weaponry ✵ Leeching: Drains ethos from the caster, user, or targeted organism or object over time, leaving them/it weakened but alive/intact. May cause fatigue, temporary loss of abilities, or long-term depletion in living organisms ✵ Thanocidic: The material kills or severely harms the organism and or ethos it is interacting with. Sometimes compared to an Arcanean poison or reflective death-curse trigger ✵ Catalytic: Doesn't store or use ethos directly, but triggers or enhances other Arcana reactions. Often used in potion-making, alchemical rituals, or Arcana-fusion processes. Often compared to an ethos conductor or amplifier that needs a second component to function Regulatory Status Terms Free Trade: The material is legally available for public or commercial use. No special license or clearance is required to acquire, use, or transport it, though export laws or safety protocols may still apply in some regions ✵ Restricted: Legal to use, but only under specific conditions, such as medical use, licensed enchantment labs, government contracts, or with direct oversight. May require special clearance, guild approval, or Arcanean regulation tags ✵ Prohibited: Fully outlawed. Possession, usage, or trade is criminalized under international Nosferatu and Mage Consortium law. Typically applies to materials tied to forbidden rituals, historical atrocities, or dangerous properties (e.g. mind control, necromancy, divine interference) ✵ Designated Use Only: Legal only for authorized individuals or species, such as Nosferatu Divisions and agents or Consortium-sanctioned mages. Handling outside of one’s designation is punishable by fine or imprisonment, depending on the severity ✵ Unknown: Regulatory status has not been formally declared, either due to rarity, recent discovery, jurisdictional disputes, or lack of documentation. Usage is risky, as enforcement can vary drastically Class Terms Lower Classes (I–III): These materials exhibit little to no Arcanean resonance. They are considered non-enchantable or only enchantable through highly specialized or brute-force methods (e.g. rune branding, blood-binding). Ideal for containment, insulation, or mundane reinforcement. These materials are also ethos-resistant, some more than others; they slow or negate ethos altogether ✵ Middle Classes (IV–VII): Moderately reactive, these are the standard-grade enchantable materials. They can absorb enchantments with relative ease and stability, making them ideal for weaponry, tools, charms, or reinforced architecture. Some may require runic primers or elemental alignment to hold advanced spells ✵ Upper Classes (VIII–X): Highly volatile or hyper-attuned to Arcana. These materials may amplify, corrupt, or even warp enchantments, making them extremely powerful but dangerous to work with. Enchanting such materials often requires master-level spellcraft, rare catalysts, and protective rituals. Improper handling can result in ethos blowback, sentient artifacts, or enchantment decay Arcanean Crystals, Gems, and Stones Crystals, gems, and stones with Arcanean properties and abilities Conduit Materials (CM) → Generate energy capable of powering structures, vessels, systems etc. Invoke Materials (IM) → Used primarily as weapons or to create bursts and surges of Arcana Hybrid Materials (HM) → Produces balanced results as both a conduit and a weapon Mnemonic Materials (MM) → Capable of containing non-physical and physical essence alike Harvestable Mnemonic Materials (HMM) → Contained essence can power Arcana structures The following statistics were gathered from average-sized and average grade (Refined) materials Statistics for all sizes and grades can be found on each material's chapter page, found on the index page Crystals, Gems, and Stones Index ➣ Material Statistic Definitions Average Arcana Capacity: Indicates the raw Arcana capacity of the material, measured in morsums (Mr).

Handling outside of one’s designation is punishable by fine or imprisonment, depending on the severity ✵ Unknown: Regulatory status has not been formally declared, either due to rarity, recent discovery, jurisdictional disputes, or lack of documentation. Usage is risky, as enforcement can vary drastically Arcana Strength Interpretation in Arcanean Crystals, Gems, and Stones A material’s Arcana output, intensity, or capacity is expressed in either morsums (Mr), seros (Sr), or remis (Rm), depending on application. The Units of Measurement These units of measurement apply only to non-sentient Arcana The energy/power of living things (ethos) is measured in copias, a separate unit tied to DNA Morsum (Mr) Morsums measure how much stable arcane energy a material can generate, store, or channel, either for use in Arcana-Powered Structures (such as Arcana Ships or Fierite Heating Systems) or for manipulation in Invoke Materials Seros (Sr) Seros apply to Invoke Materials, measuring how much of a material's Arcana is used to invoke it ('wake it up') Crescere (Cr) A crescere (Cr) provides the average output of morsums in both Conduit and Invoke materials, and acts as a buffer by reducing the seros cost required to activate Invoke Materials Remis (Rm) The containment capacity of a Mnemonic Crystal is measured in remis (Rm), which quantify how much essence, whether Arcana, emotion, memory, or physical material, a crystal can securely hold ✵ If a material best suited for Arcana-Powered Structures is invoked, it gives out significantly less power, uses a very high amount of seros, and easily becomes unstable and dangerous Some materials can be used for both Conduit and Invoke purposes. These are called Hybrid Materials Very rarely, a Mnemonic Material can be used as a Conduit Material. They are referred to as Harvestable Mnemonic Materials How is Arcana Measured? And what is it Comparable to? These scales help determine a material’s role in infrastructure, combat, containment, or hybrid use, and they aren’t always directly correlated. A crystal may hold high morsum capacity yet require minimal seros to activate, or vice versa. Seros refers specifically to the internal expenditure of morsum used to invoke an Invoke Crystal—for example, a crystal with 50 morsum may cost 4 seros to activate, leaving 46 morsum available for function. Crescere ratings help quantify amplification potential across recharge and output, while remis are used to measure the total essence capacity of Mnemonic Materials, including both physical and intangible contents Morsum (Mr) Morsum is the standardized unit of measure for stable Arcana output in material-based magic—particularly crystals, enchanted metals, and natural composites. It functions similarly to how humans once measured electricity using watts, though Arcana is vastly more potent. As a result, even a single morsum represents a much higher energy threshold than mundane electrical units. 1 morsum (1 Mr) = 50 watts 100 morsums = 1 CenMorsum (1 cMr) = 5,000 watts (5kW) While human systems once relied on crude wire-conduction and fossil-based generation, Arcana-Powered civilizations harness morsums directly from crystalline structures and aether-rich materials, yielding cleaner, more potent, and far more adaptable energy. Arcana output is measured using a device known as a Metracant, a wand-like reader often used by engineers, mages, and regulators. At its core sits a verispect crystal, which reacts to Arcana flow and emits resonance pulses. These pulses are translated by the Metracant into a visible morsum rating, typically displayed via glyph-etched dials, embedded screens, or projection glyphs. Verispect crystals require periodic cleansing and re-attunement to ensure accurate readings, especially when exposed to volatile or soulbound materials. High-end Metracants are capable of distinguishing between external morsum flow (e.g. passive emission from Conduit Materials) and internalized morsum use (e.g. pre-activation seros output), making them essential for fieldwork, spell-tech maintenance, and legal Arcana trade.
