Magicariums Scriptæ
A public thread of world events, door resonances and canon memories surfaced from the shared timeline store.
One world held five realms, joined by the Doors and fed by the Root, whose wellspring lay in Magicia and ran out to all the others. The Fifth - Earth, the Iron land - held the least magic and was the balance that kept the chord from screaming.
Source: LoreThe Five Kingdoms: Magicia (the Wellspring), Elowen (Water), Ignaris (Fire), Aerthys (Air), and the Fifth - Earth (Iron), the quiet realm later severed away.
Source: InferredAn heir of Magicia and one of the Fifth Kingdom (Earth) are bound - a deliberate marriage of the loud realm and the quiet one, so that no single bloodline could ever hold the Root alone.
Source: InferredA figure of Magicia breaks the binding union by murder and attempts the first Insidium: to tear the Root free of the many and seize it for one bloodline. It fails - the Root cannot be owned - but the attempt cracks the world.
Source: InferredEarth's oldest temple is raised over a Door; its erased altar honors a 'Star-Born Queen' of Faye's lineage.
Source: LoreA chamber of mirror-prophecies forms beneath the Sphinx - time-binding glyphs, later erased from record.
Source: LoreA mural-Door is painted; one figure completes itself across the centuries - the 'Child of Return.'
Source: LoreA spirit-mountain Door opens onto ancestral memory, accessible only through rites of remembrance.
Source: LoreCryptic 'possible futures' surface in the Magicariums Scriptae - the Great Forgetting, truth rewritten, a fracture between realms, the dimming of Iron (Earth). The Ardent Witnesses read them as danger contingencies and conceive an anti-erasure chronicle.
Source: LoreThe Magicariums Scriptae exists in full: a multi-volume spiritual, historical and metaphysical codex with encrypted warnings about erasure, false rulers, and memory warfare. First hints of Aeternite appear as resonance distortions during readings.
Source: LoreFifth-Kingdom researchers develop proto-Aeternite, a material that absorbs memory and emotional resonance - able to record history directly and resist erasure.
Source: LoreThe Ardent Witnesses forge the Testimonium: bound in Aeternite Multaeon, pages of Veil-threaded vellum, iron witness runes on the spine. It records by resonance, maps consequence ('if X continues, Y will manifest'), and travels the realms for a century gathering truth.
Source: LoreAeternite grows volatile as Doors fail. Factions rewrite early histories; proto-Accord groups try to seize the Testimonium. The Scriptae is banned and burned - but because the Testimonium had already absorbed its content, the erasure fails, leaving the Testimonium the last complete record of the pre-Severance world.
Source: LoreEarth (the Fifth Kingdom) is cut away from Magicia; the Doors collapse. Hunted, the Ardent Witnesses choose 'better shattered than controlled' and break the Testimonium into one major fragment, five shards, and countless pages, hidden across realms.
Source: LoreAs the Fifth falls, the Ardent Witnesses weave the Central Prophecy: that only one born of both realms may one day mend the fracture. The Circle of Five Inquisitors is sworn to guard truth and the scattered Testimonium; the Silent Order survives as keepers of forbidden memory.
Source: LoreWithin a single generation the Fifth Kingdom is erased from memory and the Testimonium passes into myth. Accord ancestors begin rewriting public history.
Source: LoreThe abbey that will shelter the heir is raised over a Door of compassion and quiet innovation.
Source: LoreWith the Doors sealed, magic drains from Earth. What lingers is feared as witchcraft; the Severance echoes on Earth as an age of superstition, witch trials, and fractured kingdoms - humanity's distorted memory of a world it was made to forget.
Source: InferredA Yoruba sacred grove forms over a Door of water-binding and ancestral echo; a temple staff bears a rune only a Magician-born can read.
Source: LoreSister Agathe teaches a blind orphan to read with stitched linen - the first tactile-literacy act in magical history.
Source: LoreThe Blight Cycle - a recurring wave of resonance sickness and Door-rot - sweeps the realms, as it has and will at intervals across the Long Silence.
Source: InferredA kitchen girl saves a noblewoman during a siege; blood and bay leaves seal an ancient oath.
Source: LoreOver generations the Concordium drifts from guardianship to doctrine, surveillance, and the slow suppression of magical memory.
Source: InferredAcross the centuries the Silent Order secretly shelters Testimonium fragments and Fifth-Kingdom truth, passing the keeping from hand to hand.
Source: LoreA boy hums a forgotten tune that opens a hidden drawer near the hearth.
Source: LoreA chant by deaf children triggers dormant glyphs in the outer gardens.
Source: LoreA faint resonance reawakening flickers and is suppressed - one of several false dawns across the Long Silence.
Source: InferredA scientific observatory is built unknowingly atop a Door aligned to a forgotten Magician star map.
Source: LoreAtrocity concentrates grief enough to tear a Door, bound to Magicia's forbidden Hollow Court.
Source: LoreElemental detonation trauma shatters harmonic fields; a broken ward of Ignaris sleeps beneath the dome.
Source: LoreA crystal-caverned Brazilian sanctum flickers as an unstable Door; locals dream of winged beings and vanishing tunnels.
Source: LoreThrough Threadwork, the adult Faye places a pendant set with a Water shard into five-year-old Ava's hands.
Source: LoreFaye uncovers the major surviving Testimonium fragment, deciphers the erased Fifth Kingdom and the prophecy, learns Threadwork, and re-hides the fragment for the rightful heir.
Source: LoreSiroth reimposes the Severance as rigid law, making realm-crossing lethal. The Circle of Five breaks (Maurice defects, one vanishes); Faye leads the reformist 'Times of Faye'; whispers of the Insidium begin.
Source: LoreSiroth eliminates Council authority and declares himself Protector of the Accord.
Source: LoreGenocide opens a Door unknown to the Concordium; the soil hums at lunar eclipses.
Source: LoreSiroth rebuilds the Hall of Unity into the Hall of Accord and births the Inquisitorial Order and the Calventherath sleeper program.
Source: LoreMass grief carves the 'Circle of Absence' glyph; a Concordium sky-mirror fragment cracks here.
Source: LoreAfter Faye's break with her, Gwendlynn fakes her death and becomes the hidden Supreme Mother of Saint-Spire.
Source: LoreScatters the pieces that converge in Book One.
Source: CanonAssembles the Abbey's guardians; begins the prophesied conception.
Source: CanonThe hinge of the saga: the heir survives, hidden.
Source: CanonA dormant Calventherath sleeper, the herbalist Eloi, is assigned to Saint-Spire, beloved and unaware of his true nature.

Source: CanonThirteen-year-old Leonarth lives an ordinary life at Saint-Spire as resonance stirs: the mist, the key, the tapestry. Across the Veil, Siroth glimpses him.
