The '''Living Book of Eschaton''' | The '''Living Book of Eschaton''' was the end result of [[Ezekial|Ezekial's]] attempt at [[Dion de Vermiis|Dion de Vermiis']] [[Eschaton Experiment]]. Gathering together the [[Ashtan|Ashtani]] and [[Thera|Theran]] cabals, Ezekial led the group in a large [[occultist|occultic]] ceremony, binding the [[karma]] of all its members together to facilitate its gather and usage. Unfortunately, something went wrong, and both Ezekial and the experiment were lost. | ||
Eventually, the modern day [[The Occultists|Occultists]] successfully enacted a ritual to retrieve both Ezekial and an unfinished Eschaton from the timestream and finished the experiment, tying their karma to that of their forebears and creating a living book in, as its name suggests, the shape of a tome that could absorb and distil karma upon those tied to it. | Eventually, the modern day [[The Occultists|Occultists]] successfully enacted a ritual to retrieve both Ezekial and an unfinished Eschaton from the timestream and finished the experiment, tying their karma to that of their forebears and creating a living book in, as its name suggests, the shape of a tome that could absorb and distil karma upon those tied to it. | ||

In the year 691 AF the Eschaton was used as bait by the [[Occultists]] to lead a [[phoenix]] released by the [[Warlocks of the Rising Phoenix|Warlocks]] into the [[Chaos Plane]] to assault the hordes of [[Golgotha]]. The occultic legacy then was lost to public record, apparently consumed by the firebird. | |||
The living book was later secretly recovered by the Ashtani, though heavily damaged. Its repair was effected with another temporal ritual in 870 AF, its working drawing the ire of the [[Tlalaiad|Genesis]]. [[Bain'maal]] was dispatched to punish [[Ashtan]] for the regression of time, though an emergency summoning of the [[Spawn of the Unnamable Horror]] combated his advance temporarily. The Second Great Work was completed successfully, enlivening a librum which now not only functioned as karmic reservoir and [[planes|planar]] link, but also eldritch teacher of the apocalyptic arts of the [[Unnamable]] warriors. | |||
