''Classification''

Occurs in the [[Reflective Universe]], [[Version 149]], Circa 125 E'rth Era. In the area of north-west [[Merca]].

''Summary''

A fallen society, a world in chaos. This is E'rth. Welcome to your worst Nightmare, and yet, your greatest Dream.

Given the chance to rebuild human civilization after a terrible war which destroyed most of the planet, the paths taken by the survivors vary greatly.

Some choose to enslave and control those who they see as weaker than themselves. Some choose to create vast new religious movements, with both good and evil manifestations. Others choose to create what they see as a perfect society, a hedonistic, libertarian Utopia.

When the D'ard, one of the slave-masters, takes over one of the religious movements, he turns it into an army to control not only small groups, but entire cities, and eventually, if he has his way: the world.

As the fierce army casts their eyes towards Utopia, can Ka'l, Ma'ia and J'son keep their care-free lifestyle? Or will they soon find that in order to create a pacifistic world, blood must still be shed?

A vision of pure ecstasy and utter terror, blended together in an orgy of sex, violence, fear and love. A Snake in the Garden of Eden.

''Status''

Being expanded. Available at http://huri.net/scrawl/asitgoe/ in it's preliminary, unpolished form.

Africa, like [[Uropa]] has become mostly border-less, with unstable nation-states coming and going yearly. It is yet one of the most plentiful places, having mostly avoided getting caught in the crossfire during [[The Terrible War]].

Our researchers haven't actually gotten to Australia yet. We do know that Australia has an alliance with the [[Zentorah Catholic]] and is also trading partners with [[Sialong]].

A hard-line variant of communism, the Benefaction bans all religion, and forces people into jobs chosen by the government. They do not believe in freedom, instead believing that through collectivism and a totally controlled economy, that all people will be better off, and no-one will ever go without. Most of the Benefaction in the North-West were wiped out by the Lo'dites.

Some splinter groups such as the [[Socialateral]] still have an active presence, and many of the surviving Benefaction have sought shelter with these groups.

Classification

Occurs in the Primary Universe, Dalarin Sector, in the Post-Cataclysm era.

Summary

Serveral sets of seemingly unrelated events, with various different groups of people, happening on at least three different planets. How will these events affect one another? And what is the link between them? From the Journals of Ajak, to the Recorded Accounts of Kayl D'noch, there is so much going on here, that it may take a strong mind to put it all together.

Status

Unfinished. Currently not available.

Bra'il is the largest nation in South America. It is composed of the area formerly occupied by Brazil, Suriname, Guiana and Uruguay. Small settlements are distributed around the nation, which speaks Poru, a language derived from Portuguese with some French and Spanish influences.

Also known as the Caldryn in some writings, the Caedryn appears to most people to be a huge sphere of light at the centre of the known area in Universe 1.

It is believed by many cultures, including the remaining legends of the Faarian Empire, that the Caedryn is actually the para-physical manifestation of the Temple of Ryn - a sub-universe which is the home of the Ryn, powerful spectral beings who are believed by many to be the creators of many universes.

The legends which speak of the Temple of Ryn, believes that it is also the only location of a gateway into [[Universe Zero]], the mythical "universe of the Gods."

''Classification''

Occurs in multiple universes.

[[Reflective Universe]], [[Version 17]], 1990s era.
[[Primary Universe]], Dalarin Sector, Planet [[Coh]], City of [[Nytsun]], Post-Cataclysm era.
Reflective Universe, [[Version 213]], circa 2000~2015.
[[The Spectrism]], Sphere of Heaven and Sphere of Hell. Post-Hell-Rebellion era.

''Summary''

Cast Into Shade is a series of short stories, separated out into named "episodes".

The first episode is called *Crimson*. In it, a group of Dark Angels are exiled from Hell after a failed rebellion. Now, seemingly trapped on Earth in the early '90s, they form their own groups, each with their own ideas of how to move forward. Some are bent upon domination, others on continuing rebellion, and yet others on salvation and redemption.

Their own agendas clash with those of the mortal police department, when a savage serial killer starts making the rounds. who is behind the grusome killings? How will one brave, but misguided and mentally unstable police officer solve the crime? What role does the young orphaned girl have to play in all of this? And why is Kyyl, a mysterious immortal, who arrived with the Dark Angels, acting as the girl's guardian?

Find out all the answers - when Crimson is completed.

''Status''

In planning, not yet available.

During [[The Terrible War]], the Vatican was attacked, and many people were murdered, including the Pope. Somehow while rebuilding society, the newly chosen Pope announced that she had long studied Scientology. Under her rule, they officially merged the two religions into a single entity. Unlike the [[Zentorah]], the Catholic Scientologists are heavily into converting members. This may be the reason the alleged merger between the two religions did not become reality.

[[Introduction]]

A neo-fascist political system. Originally did not care about such things as religions, neither promoting nor restricting them. Some later groups splintered from the Factoralate did attempt restricting religion. The Factoralate or other similar systems are still active and strong in the southern nations such as Bra'il. However, several decades ago the Factoralate in north-western Merca was infiltrated by the [[Lo'dites]], who slowly transitioned the group into a fascist theocracy.

Gentile (pronounced Js-en-t-ill-ee) is the former Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile and Argentina.

In [[Merca]] especially, Glish is the most common language. Most of the words are common between the languages, however, there are multiple dialects (and multiple variations within the dialects). Some of those common dialects are listed here.

''Caltik Glish''

Caltik Glish is an English language derivative whose roots lay in many of the Celtic languages. It is believed that this version of Glish evolved within a small group, who may have been the direct ancestors of the Founders of [[Utopia]]. For this reason, this is the most common dialect spoken in Utopia, although there are still many people who have come from other places, and thus speak other variants of Glish.

''Sovetan Glish''

Sovetan Glish has its roots in Russian-English pidgin languages. It was common among the original inhabitants of the Nor' Lands, including what is now the Five Cities. It is the predominant dialect used by the [[Lo'dites]] (at least the ones from the Five Cities.)

A meta-pocket-universe (few, now there is a word) which consists entirely of [[Gates|portals]] into other worlds. Unlike most of the pocket universes, we do recommend this one.

One of the quickest ways to get to where you're going, the Hallway is rumoured to have been created by the [[Ryn]]. Whoever built it, we're sure glad they did.

Now, that said, when we first discovered the Hallways, there was no obvious instructions, labels or maps. This led to a policy of having to "jump in" to a Gate in order to find out where it led. The researchers have now spent the last couple of thousand years making maps of the Halls, and noting where each Gate leads. If you are entering the Hallways from our central office on [[Xune]], please review the maps at each major junction, before you get lost.

Even after nearly three thousand years, there are still many parts of the Hallways that are not mapped. If you see a sign stating that the hall in question has not been explored, we do not recommend going down it, unless you happen to be an authorized researcher with the Library.

The Indochine Raja is the largest and most powerful empire in the world. Consisting of China, Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, Bangladesh, Laos, Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The Xadaeryn Interactive Encyclopedia is the foremost authority on anything within the Xadaeryn Multiverse. At least, that's what our researchers tell us. We tend to believe them, as they are the only source of information we have on these topics. Err, anyway, yeah, everything within this encyclopedia can be trusted completely. Well, as completely as anything else anyway.

We digress.

Like the venerable Hitchhikers' Guide to the Universe (similar in content and style as the earlier Galactic version), we try our best to cover as many topics as we can. However, the multiverse is a large place, and it's impossible for us to cover everything. So, there may be omissions, but hopefully none which will leave you unprepared for life in the multiverse.

The Xadaeryn Interactive Encyclopedia is maintained by the many researchers at the Centre for Multiversial Research, located at the Library of Infinity, on the planet [[Xune]], in the Dalarin sector of the [[Primary Universe]].

Our researchers use any available [[portals]] to research as many universes and [[versions]] of reality as possible. Of course in an infinite multiverse, there are obviously going to be many places even our researchers haven't gone. So if you end up in one of them, please, feel free to let us know about it!

The Order of Lo'dites are a para-gnostic religion that borrows from many other religions including Christianity, Judaism, Islam and various New-Age beliefs.

Lo'dism was originally a peaceful religion, which tried to teach morality and ethics to a world which was lost in decadence and depravity.

However over the last century and a half, the religion quickly turned away from its original peaceful teachings and turned violent and hateful.

Eventually the Lo'dites came to embrace [[Factoralate]] political doctrine, creating the perfect merger between religion and politics, is a faith of the strictest moral codes and hatred of other religions.

The principles are enforced by the Brethren Lo'dites, who are also called Archons, who serve as the police in the city-states they rule over.

The Brethren Lo'dites take orders from the Master Lo'dite, also known as the Abrax, who is considered by many to be an incarnation of the Devil, sent by the supreme deity Lo'd to enforce the Law's of Lo'd on E'rth.

The Master has the final say in all things, and is the interpreter of the Holy books.

[[References]]

All three countries formerly referred to as being in North America, have become as one, which has no government and is a wild land, mostly devastated and filled with small settlements each serving as their own micro-nation. Most of the settlements are in the north-western area of the continent, the areas formerly occupied by British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Idaho and Montana. The north-east coast has become a frozen wasteland due to global climate change, and most of the United States have been utterly devastated by nuclear weapons, leaving them either uninhabited, or filled with mutants. The most interesting settlements in the north-west seemed to be [[Utopia]] and [[The Five Cities]]. Most people in the North-West section of Merca speak [[Glish]].

New Arabia is the area formerly known as the Middle East. Much of the land is deserted due to nuclear fallout, but the [[New Islam]] movement has survived in many of the non-polluted areas, and are slowly rebuilding the religious and cultural heritage that was nearly destroyed in a single day.

In the aftermath of the Terrible War, untold millions of Muslims were dead. The entire Middle East was nearly completely destroyed, including Mecca. The survivors of the war came together to form New Mecca. Attempting to rebuild the Holy City. They called themselves the followers of New Islam. As many people blamed Islamic terrorists for starting [[The Terrible War]], the religious leaders of New Islam speak out against violence and urge peace and respect. Of course, like all religions, not all of the people listen to their leaders.

There are countless universes within the Xadæryn Multiverse, however, several meta-universes and pocket-universes are of interest to travelers and researchers for the encyclopedia.

* [[The Spectrism]]
* [[Twilight Realm]]
* [[Phantom Continuum]]
* [[Hallways of the Ancients]]
* [[Universe Zero]]

The Phantom Continuum is very much like the [[Twilight Realm]]. Only worse! Yes, it's another pocket-universe, existing outside of normal space-time. However, it's even more unstable, and is home to the ruthless and brutal [[Ruhr]], who have a "shoot first, don't bother asking questions even after" policy about strangers.

Not only does the prospect of running into the Ruhr make going into the Phantom Continuum a bad idea, but if you manage to avoid them, you may find [[Xirus]], [[Krath]] or [[Neelobs]] waiting for you instead.

One of the few researchers who escaped from the Phantom Continuum alive, said that his escape was delayed slightly, as the gate he found, led him straight into the core of [[Skaalin]], one of the most evil (manufactured) planets in [[Universe 1|Primary Universe]]. Needless to say, after finally escaping from Skaalin, the researcher retired from active duty.

DO NOT under any circumstances, go to the Phantom Continuum.

Also known as Universe 1, this universe is the home to many of the researchers of the XIE (including the Editor, although he currently is residing in an undocumented version of the Reflective Universe, for further study.)

There is a lot of information about this particular universe, from the previous version of the XIE, which is currently unavailable. All of the data from that version will be brought over into this new release, and updated for consistency with the current state of Universe 1, whichever active version the current researchers happen to be in. Versions in Universe 1 are not as easily traversed as some other universes, however it does occasionally occur that we get reports from researchers who happen to be in diverged versions. We make all the best attempts to have a consistent view of the most mainstream versions available.

Please be patient while the Editor works on restoring the information from the previous release of the XIE into this section.

The Reflective Universe (sometimes referred to as Universe 2) is a highly unstable universe, where constant manipulations of reality create a nearly infinite number of completely divergent versions. The only thing that seems constant within the Reflective Universe, is the existence of a planet known commonly as Earth (or E'rth), although even it is not guaranteed to exist in all versions.

The Editor currently resides on Earth, although his exact origins are undocumented, and he does return to the Library occasionally to make a report in person. Although maintaining the Encyclopedia these days is able to be done entirely via remote management.

Due to the unstable nature of the Reflective Universe, it is better to document some of the most common "version streams", called as such, as they are collections of versions with common origins and which commonly re-merge or intersect with one another.

''Versions''

* [[Version 17]]
* [[Version 149]]
* [[Version 213]]

Northern Asia has found itself dominated by the Russian Republic, which also claims Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan.

Sialong is a democratic state made up of Indonesia and Malaysia. It has close ties to [[New Arabia]] (which consists of the entire Middle East, most of which was destroyed in the Terrible War) and does not trade with the [[Zentorah Catholic]], due to the religious conflicts between the people. However Sialong is a trading partner with [[Australia]], ignoring Australia's strong ties with the Zentorah Catholic.

Xadæryn Interactive Encylopædia

The Socialateral was originally a splinter-group from the [[Benefaction]]. Unlike their predecessors, they encouraged religious expression, believing it to be a healthy part of society. They also allowed more flexibility in choosing a job. They still believed in strict economic control, and most of the other ideals that the Benefaction held.

As a unique side-note, the Socialateral had an interesting deviation from the Benefaction in their acceptance (and indulgence) in alternative sexual expression, including mandatory initiation rites for all members of society at their coming-of-age, and endorsement of incestuous relationships.

''Classification''

Occurs in the [[Reflective Universe]], [[Version 149]], Circa 240 E'rth Era. In the area of western [[Urope]].

''Summary''

A collection of short stories and snippets from The Ark, a massive archology (city-in-a-building) that survived [[The Terrible War]].

''Status''

Planning stages. Not available yet.

A group of cities north of Utopia, brought together under a single theocracy. Originally consisting of three cities ruled by the [[Benefaction]], it undersaw a violent revolution, in which the [[Lo'dites]] seized control. They would later go on to add two more cities to their empire.

The Great Suffering was the time after [[The Terrible War]]. Radiation sickness, anarchy, madness. These were all common in the times of the Great Suffering. Society as it had been known mostly collapsed. Moreso in those places greater affected by the war.

The Second Holocaust, was the total annihilation of the area known as Israel-Palestine. During [[The Terrible War]], one of the other Middle Eastern nations launched a full out nuclear attack on Israel-Palestine, completely wiping it from the map. The Jewish survivors escaped to the [[Zentorah Catholic]], followed by at least half of the Palestinian survivors, who put aside their differences after having survived the event.

The Spectrism is a meta-universe, allegidly created by spectral beings (called by most beliefs as gods or devils, also known as Ryn in Faarian mythology.) The Spectrism is a multi-layered collection of pocket-universes (referred to as Spheres by the Library standards). Some of the more commonly referenced areas are the Sphere of Heaven, the Sphere of Hell, the Sphere of Hades and the Sphere of Valhalla.

The terrible war was a horrific war. Placed in historical context, it would be called a World War. Differing from most World Wars however, was the use of nuclear weapons. The devastation of the Middle East (known as [[The Second Holocaust]]) as well as most of the United States occurred during this war.

The Twilight Realm is a pocket-universe, existing outside of normal space-time. According to [[Faarian|Faarian Empire]] mythology, it is the home of the legendary [[Zri'Sharhn]], who are referred to as the greatest enemies of the Faarian empire in some of the surviving documents. It is also rumoured to contain a great machine called the Gatekeeper, which is capable of creating [[Shadow Gates|portals]]. The Gatekeeper's existence has never been proven however, even if it is referenced in many legends and mythologies.

None of the researchers who have explored areas within the Twilight Realm have found evidence of either the Zri'Sharhn nor the Gatekeeper. However, due to several researchers having ended up getting lost within the Twilight Realm, or stumbling into Shadow Gates leading to random locations, exploration of this pocket-universe is not recommended.

If it does exist, none of our researchers have ever been to it, but Universe 0 is also known as The Origin. In the [[Faarian|Faarian Empire]] mythology, it is said that the spectral beings known as the [[Ryn]] were originally from a universe older than all others, the first universe. It is described as a universe without beginning or end. The Ryn are said to keep Universe 0 closed off to the rest of the multiverse. According to the legends, the only gateway into Universe 0 is found within the Temple of Ryn, which is believed by many cultures to exist inside the [[Caedryn]], at the centre of Universe 1. 

Most of Europe (now known as Uropa) has dissolved politically, with some groups trying to reform former nations. A radical and very powerful group known as the Nuovo Imp'ro Romon is claiming control over most of Uropa, except for the northern areas formerly Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus, all of which have been declared a part of the [[Russian Republic]], although in practice these areas are just as much anarchistic as the rest of Uropa.

In Merca, there came to live a group of survivors from the War, who believed that it was their duty to rebuild the world, but in a new way. They created a city which expounded ultra-libertarian ideals, where the only law was "Do as thou wilst, lest it harm another" a quote they had transcribed from a scholar. They named the city Utopia, hoping it could become "the perfect place".

Utopia is a libertarian paradise where most people follow a naturist lifestyle, and the society encourages open sexuality for all members of the society, regardless of any factor.

The people of Utopia call the act of sex, "sharing". They do not confuse sex with love, and still have a concept of marriage (which they call Life-Friends) which does not preclude extra-marital sex, nor polygamy.

They do not promote nor restrict any form of religious beliefs, choosing instead to leave spiritual matters up to the individual.

Their New Year celebration is held in early spring, and is called the Celebration of Life. The festivities include a two hour orgy in which all members come together to share with one another, followed by a massive feast, where people are able to indulge in eating and drinking (since most of the year food and drink must be carefully rationed, due to the lack of commercialism.)

The timeline that our researchers have reported on in this version stream seems to be several hundred years in the future from most mainstream versions. It appears to have been nearly 200 years since a [[terrible nuclear war|The Terrible War]] has devestated the planet E'rth.

Much of the planet was left devastated by the war, and the planet plunged into a new dark ages known to the people as [[The Great Suffering]].

The socio-political geography of this timeline is vastly different than before the war.

Our researchers spent a lot of time in [[Merca]], formerly known as North America. 

South America is no longer referred to as a continent, but by the three loose countries that still exist, [[Bra'il]], [[Zuela]], and [[Gentile]].

Across the ocean you will find [[Uropa]], [[Russian Republic]], [[Indochine Raja]], [[Zentorah Catholic]], [[Sialong]], [[Afrika]], [[New Arabia]] and [[Australia]].

The seventeenth version stream, focused on the planet Earth, seems to have a lot more paranormal activity than other versions. Demons, vampires, werewolves, and other creatures of super-human strength and origin seem to mingle with the locals. Usually the results are not that pretty.

Anyway, unless you enjoy getting torn apart by vicious creatures, or caught in the middle of a battle between angels and demons, it's probably a good idea to avoid Version 17.

ombining Zen Buddhism, Hinduism and Qabalic Jewish Mysticism, then throwing in a sprinkle of Wicca, Druidic Paganism and general New Age beliefs, resulted in this hybrid religion. The people of Zentorah, unlike the [[Lo'dites]], accept those of other religions. In an interesting twist, they may have at one time considered merging with the [[Catholic Scientologists]], as the main nation which is home to the Zentorah religion is called the [[Zentorah Catholic]]. The exact reasons for the naming of the nation are not recorded. The followers of Zentorah are peaceful, and do not attempt to convert others to their beliefs.

The Zentorah Catholic is a shrewdly powerful libertarian collective. Formerly made up of Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, it's a loosely associated group with a minimal form of government. Most Jewish survivors from [[The Second Holocaust]] came to live in the Zentorah Catholic.

It is the spiritual home of the [[Zentorah]] religious movement.

Zuela occupies the land formerly known as Venezuela, Guyana, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Portals allow travel anywhere in space or time, throughout different universes, and [[versions]] of reality.

Some of these portals seem to be fixed constructed gateways, known as the Shadow Gates. Shadow Gates are most commonly found in the [[Primary Universe]], and are scattered throughout countless planets in at least 4 galaxies (the actual number will never be known, as only a few of the gates are still operational).

The Shadow Gates seem to come in a few varieties

No-one knows who created the Shadow Gates, as they date back to prior to recorded history. The most common theory is that the gates were built by the legendary [[Faarian Empire]], or that they date back even further to the god-like spectral beings known as the [[Ryn]] (also called the Founders in many cultures and myths).

While some gates are fixed, others are more dynamic. There are certain places where gates open randomly (such as the [[Lendonia]] area on the planet [[Cohwak]], and in particular, the city of [[Nytsun]]).

Ancient legends say that a machine known as the Gatekeeper is located in the [[Twilight Realm]], which is able to create, destroy and manage dynamic portals. However, if it is true, there are only a few who know about the Gatekeeper, and even fewer who know how it works. It is said that there are three beings who are able to control the Gatekeeper remotely, so-as to open portals when they need one. The identify of these beings is of course not known, and their existence is doubted by most modern scholars.

It is believed that whoever created the Shadow Gates, did so by using the Gatekeeper. Of course as the existence of the Gatekeeper has never been verified, this theory is often debunked as unprovable. It is also pointed out that if it truly was the Founders who created the Gatekeeper, and thus the Shadow Gates, and if the Founders truly are the Ryn, why did they not keep the Gatekeeper within the [[Caedryn]], instead of hiding it in the Twilight Realm?

The truth, as is typical, will most likely never be known.

Basically, every universe can have infinite potential versions where different events happen. Some people call these parallel universes but they are more accurately described in a multiverse scenario as versions of reality.

Time travel and paradoxes often create unique scenarios within the version framework. Such scenarios include things like incompatible versions, version loops, version branching and merged versions. Just don't try to create a merged version with two incompatible versions. Bad things might happen.

As a popular example of paradox effects, if you were to travel back to yesterday, to give yourself the time machine to allow yourself to travel through time, this would thus create a version loop. Best to be avoided thanks, unless your name is Douglas Adams, Steven Moffat or John De'Chancie.
