Part I: The Timeless Observer; Arcs 1-10
The Year 804 saw to the demise of the Hangurian Freehold, a 514 year old empire that dominated mainland politics and held an unprecedented sphere of influence uncontested for nearly four centuries. And while the mysterious appearance of the Kyūbi ended the Freehold decisively that fateful day in 804, it had long been in decline before then. In the wake of its fall a number of smaller clans and political entities coalesced and competed for their own territory and influence. And by the year 811 a number of clans had formed, each with their own unique identity. And yet within months the competition had come to a head, with the Golden Sabbath, which would eventually transform into the village of Tsumigakure, filling much of the void that the Freehold had left behind. The former Shogun, Takauji Ashikaga, had taken note of this. A former political behemoth within the Hangurian Freehold himself, Ashikaga would take on the clans on his own with a contingent of still loyal Black Ones.
Yet while the fight for political dominance continued, forces operated from within the shadows. The events of Conqueror's End, the revival of Cassander Uchiha, the kidnapping of a number of powerful shinobi, and eventually the kidnapping of Takauji Ashikaga himself had all been orchestrated by the Voice and the Four Necromancers. These powerful individuals controlled the Great Mother Cult, a following of nearly 5,500 people at their peak that worshiped the Primordial Goddess Tiamat. Their plan had come to a head in the year 812 when, after a brief skirmish in Tobusekai, noble heroes inadvertently destroyed the Sun and Moon Shrines which had been constructed to restrain Tiamat. She was unleashed upon the world and wrought considerable destruction on the mainland until she was finally sealed, returned to the Void. And while the Ninja World at large would clean up the disaster that was Tiamat, including dealing with the Second Red Fever outbreak, as well as the invasion of Oisha and the Ronin, the Necromancers and the Voice would return to the shadows to continue their plan. A plan that had been set in motion hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.
Part II: Twin Pillars of Existence; Arcs 15-Arc 24
Nine keys to open the seal. Nine torches to guide His path. For She still lives, and He must find her. The Twin Pillars of Existence. For one is of Life, and the other of Chakra.
288 years ago, a mysterious meteorite plummeted from the heavens and struck the far northwestern mainland. Days later, a contingent of Black Ones, the Hangurian Special Forces, recovered it and brought the meteorite to the Grand Library of Chungsu. There it was studied by scholars and arcanists alike, but the mysteries of it eluded even them. All that could be uncovered was that the meteorite radiated a potent chakra, disrupting the intrinsic properties of artificial life – beings formed from the Creation of All Things. The meteorite would become known as the Fallen Star among a small circle of individuals, one of the Three Calamities that would eventually signal the end of the Hangurian Freehold. Two centuries later the Kyūbi would mysteriously manifest, and would see to the end of Chungsu and unleashing nearly a decade of anarchy.
The Kyūbi’s appearance in Chungsu also saw to the destruction of the Grand Library, triggering a rash of looting and banditry in the capital. In the chaos the meteorite was stolen, spirited away to Tobusekai to find itself in the hands of the Great Mother Cult and their master, Imeroth, Voice of Tiamat. Their nefarious design would see the Fallen Star re-engineered at the Excavation Site, along with the bones of the Mother of All Life to create the staff Kuniumi, the Birth of the Empire, and Kamiumi, Shaper of the Gods. The appearance of the staff Kuniumi stirred the Ichibi from its rest in the far north, leading it on a rampage that was ultimately quelled by Madara Uchiha, the staff's new wielder. Madara had been selected by Imeroth as the next Body of Tiamat, taking Takauji Ashikaga's failed place. The new leader of the Akatsuki began a hunt to find the Tailed Beasts, following Imeroth's advice.
Meanwhile, a nascent Divinity was released from the tear in Voidspace under the Hokubu Ocean where Tiamat was released. Emiya retrieved the young Divinity that would eventually become known as Enkidu, the Chains of Heaven - a god blessed with power on the same scale as Marduk and the original Pantheon. But it wasn't long before the Voidlords became aware of Enkidu's existence. Threatened by him, Imeroth sent Demetrias on a scouting mission to discover his true nature. This eventually led to a small skirmish in which Emiya retreated, nearly leaving Enkidu for dead. But thanks to his bravery and Enkidu's power, Demetrias's sword was shattered and he was forced to retreat. The result led to Emiya discovering the existence of the God-Slaying Tools, weapons forged by the Blacksmith Marzan, an Immortal Human in the same sense as Imeroth. As this went on, deep under the Hokubu Ocean a new civilization was born: the Sentinels. The Sentinels are a mysterious fish-like shamanistic people who are highly militarized. They worship a strange underwater tree through their Grovetenders, performing rituals on it daily and treating it as if it was a god in its own right.
Emiya discovering this secret led the Voidlords to enact the next stage of their plan; in order to prevent humanity from finding the Armory, the Voidlord Phetra, ruling the from the Underworld, sacked the Tobusekian city of Last Bastion. But moving hundreds of thousands of undead from the Underworld was no easy task, and not normally allowed by the rules that governed the afterlife. And so Phetra, through the Twin Fates, manipulated the events that caused the witch Strix to eventually slay the minotaur Athos. His blood, as a Son of Marduk, allowed for Phetra to perform a ritual to open a tear in reality to move that immense legion through it. Its destruction ensured chaos in Tobusekai for months to come, but irked the nefarious Spider into action. Humanity led a counterattack against the Ruler of the Underworld, liberating the eastern continent from the undead legion's terror. Yet it was an uneasy victory; the Armory of Marzan remains to be found, and Phetra is fortified within the Underworld. A small contingent of humans, the Champions of Humanity, now go to liberate the Underworld from her grasp.
Part III: Seven Sovereigns
The story continues...
Dramatis Personae:
►Imeroth, the Voice
The titular antagonist from Part I who has manipulated history for centuries. He is among the first humans to ever live, being shaped directly by the gods themselves. When he was much younger Imeroth served as Marduk's vessel in the first Great War against Tiamat and Kingu. He orchestrated a civil war among the gods, leading to their downfall two millennia after Tiamat's demise. He typically wears a black and grey shroud that conceals his emaciated and bald appearance. Perhaps his most striking physical feature are his light blue eyes. Despite his appearance, Imeroth is immensely powerful and wise; he holds ancient secrets that existed long before the advent of chakra at the hands of the Sage of Six Paths. His signature ability seems to revolve around the use of Chaos, a skill that only gods themselves are capable of using.
Imeroth originally was a voice for the Priest of Justice, having been Marduk's vessel during the Great War against Tiamat. He also was a watcher over the Golden Empire that reigned in that war's wake after the gods left humanity to its own devices. But the Golden Empire's decline into the Silver and Bronze ages jaded Imeroth, eventually leading him to turn on his patron god and serve Tiamat.
Despite Tiamat's demise, Imeroth remains devoutly loyal to the Primordial Mother of the Great Salt Sea. After many months of seclusion and solitude after the failure of his first plan he has returned to being the primary antagonist in the Ninja World. He works from the shadows to orchestrate his plan. Most recently Imeroth has constructed an ancient Relic Weapon using bones of Tiamat and a mysterious meteorite that was discovered by the Hangurian Freehold three centuries ago. This weapon was revealed to be Kuniumi, the Zero Seal. He has since approached Madara Uchiha to lead his Akatsuki. Imeroth is incredibly determined to enact his grand design at any cost. Over the millennia he has recruited four powerful necromancers, whom he calls the Four Voidlords.
Since the beginning of Part II, Imeroth has acted to instate the new Akatsuki; he has chosen Madara Uchiha as the new Body of Tiamat and advised him to capture the Tailed Beasts in order to become the vessel of the Juubi and take one step closer to fulfilling his ultimate destiny.
The Four Voidlords:
The Four Voidlords, or at other times known as the Four Necromancers, are four extremely notorious and powerful criminals in the Ninja World. They are commanded by Imeroth, the Voice, and are staunchly loyal to his cause to restore Tiamat's existence and overwrite humanity. Each Voidlord has an innate connection to the Void, and derives their power in their own unique way. They also hold command over four distinct Domains; in the case of Phetra, she rules over the Underworld, Irkalla, and commands the infamous Gallu Spirits. Individually a Voidlord is incredibly powerful, surpassed only by Imeroth himself. Some of their members have lived for thousands of years, cultivating their ancient powers since then. Their newest addition to the Voidlords is the man Sai Uchiha, who now is called Demetrias. Each of the Voidlords possess unimaginable powers that go well beyond that of a Jinchuuriki, and can even rival that of the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails itself. Fighting against one alone is extremely dangerous.
►Phetra (LOST TO THE VOID)
The only female member of the Voidlords. Phetra is a master of Yin-Yang Release and various unknown forms of Kinjutsu that have long been lost to the world, and for good reason. Alongside her own innate ancient powers, Phetra holds the title Ruler of the Underworld, once held by the gods Nergal and Ereshkigal. Of all members of the Great Mother Cult, Phetra is among the first. Her first appearance was made hundreds of years ago in the Court of Chungsu before Solomon, seeking assistance for a disease that had ravaged Tobusekai, once known as the Freeze. Since her reemergence she has frequently called upon the powers of Irkalla, using the Gallu to do her bidding. How she came to rule the Underworld is unknown, though it certainly involved some level of treachery.
Phetra has been lost to the Void, her body having fallen into the Voidspace beneath Irkalla after the former's destruction and the demise of the Domain of Death. She was defeated through a combination of the Champions of Humanity, Ereshkigal, Solomon, and Enkidu.
►Demetrias
Of the four Voidlords Demetrias is the newest and youngest, though he is far older than any standard human. His past is largely unknown, though he is likely a Child of Tiamat. He proudly claims that his Mother transformed his existence of that of Sai Uchiha, great leader of the Uchiha clan in the sixth century, to that of Demetrias, Voidlord. Very little is known about his powers aside from that he wields the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan; it is so true to its name that even techniques like Izanagi cannot extinguish its light, a trait likely acquired from Demetrias's heritage as a Child of Tiamat.
Demetrias spearheaded the hunt for the Chains of Heaven, Enkidu. His failure and loss of his God-Slaying Tool eventually culminated in Emiya Shirou's quest to free Marzan and reforge the blade into Tsumukari. His encounter with Emiya led him to self-evaluate his objectives and true motives, leading him to a confrontation with Nefarian who revealed that his soul is likely fabricated as a result of his Paradoxical Rebirth. He now lays dying in a cavern underneath the Land of Fire somewhere, his body being consumed by Nefarian's plagues.
►Basel
Among the Four Voidlords Basel, and Nefarian, are the greatest enigmas so far. He is a man with a Draconic like face, packed with scales and eyes that burned a fiery red. His scales are golden, covering half his face and his neck. Of the Four, Basel Timurain seems to be the least human. He was instrumental in the disappearance and capture of the Takauji Ashikaga, as well as his transformation into a Body of Tiamat.
►Nefarian
Like Basel, Nefarian is a largely unknown Voidlord. He wears a grey magatama cloak, which conceals long silver hair, Elven-like ears, and black-as-night eyes. While it is not common knowledge, Nefarian was responsible for both iterations of the Red Fever. How he developed it and released it is unknown, and the true nature of his powers remain a mystery to the world at large.
►He Who is Chosen, Madara Uchiha
The experiment that was Takauji Ashikaga had been a failure. And yet the Voice presses on, for a new Body must be found. Imeroth has chosen Madara Uchiha as his new Champion, capitalizing on his innate connection with one of the Twin Pillars. Madara has embarked on a quest to restore the Akatsuki and capture the Nine Tailed Beasts, aiming to become the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki. How this plays into Imeroth's grand design remains a mystery.
The Gods:
►Enkidu, the Chains of Heaven
Born within the same tier of Divinity as his brothers and sister gods Marduk, Inanna, Nergal, and Enlil, Enkidu was retrieved from the Hokubu Ocean by Emiya Shirou. The child, appearing as no more than an infant, has exhibited the power to cure the Red Fever effortlessly; he wields a power known as Chaos, which is derived from the Void itself - a power only available to the highest tier of Divinities. In many ways Enkidu is a blank slate, shaped from a clay like substance with long green hair and beautiful green eyes. Since his emergence Enkidu has taken shelter on the island of Theodoro, living with Solomon amongst the people there and learning about his nature as a Divinity. He has grown into a young man with long green hair and purple eyes, though they at times shift to gold.
►Marduk, Chief God
The Chief God and Aspect of Justice, Marduk is one of the first four original Divinities. Little is known about him following the Great War other than he and his brother Enlil led an army of humans and Divine Constructs into the Underworld to fight their brother Nergal.
►Inanna, Queen of Heaven
►Nergal, Ruler of the Underworld
One of the four original Divinities and children of Tiamat. Nergal was the first Ruler of the Underworld and the Inventor of the Human Soul. He fought in the Great Civil War, resisting Marduk and Enlil's invasion of Irkalla. Nergal was responsible for capturing Marzan, a fabled blacksmith and master of the God-Slaying Tools. It was a strategic move that rendered the human army that served Enlil and his brother Marduk in the Great Civil War incapable of harming Nergal's Champions.
►Enlil, God of Storms
The God of Storms that, along with Marduk, fought a war against Nergal. Little is known about him other than he constructed the Divine Gates that created a human entrance into the Underworld.
►Ereshkigal, Lady of the Underworld
Ereshkigal is a second generation Divinity and Goddess of the Underworld alongside Nergal, and briefly after his reign ended. She manifests physically similar to a human, with long and beautiful blonde hair and clad in dark robes adorned with skulls and other death-like symbols and iconography. At some point after the Great Civil War she was killed by Phetra and had her Divinity stolen. She remained Phetra's prisoner as a Divine Core, slowly regenerating her strength over thousands of years. In their raid on Irkalla the Champions of Humanity healed Ereshkigal's Divine Core, restoring her physical form. Alongside the Champions of Humanity and Enkidu they fought to kill Phetra, ending her tyrannical reign. Her resurrection broke the Domain of Death, unleashing the Void upon Irkalla as it relentlessly consumed the Underworld. She has sealed the Underworld, locking herself within it to battle the Void and the darkness that threatens to consume the Land of the Dead.
►Abzu
The Sentinels:
►Ningal, High Priestess:
Lady Ningal is a mysterious shark-like woman living in the Hokubu Ocean. She met with Imeroth and Basel, discussing a possible alliance.
►Aria, Lady of the Grovetenders
Lady Aria, much like Lady Ningal, is a shark-like fishwoman that lives under the Hokubu Ocean. She leads the Grovetenders in keeping to the sacred tree that they pray to daily.
Champions of Humanity:
►Marzan, Fabled Blacksmith
One of Marduk's Immortal Humans and the inventor of the God-Slaying Tools. He was rescued by the Champions of Humanity after being trapped by Nergal and subsequently Phetra in the Underworld. He is now working toward forging a new generation of God-Slaying Tools to aid humanity in once and for all breaking their dependency on the Gods.
