Ω game knowledge
Things Annabeth has learned about turtletopia!!!
Ω 8/7: The last day of the Welcome Festival. The Gangs are primarily anti-foreigner, and they do not see them as capable of being "saviors." Two foreigners (Favrielle and Yue) are almost executed. Celestial bronze works against the kedan.
Ω 8/18: First Audience. The original summoning of people to Tu Vishan was meant as a "call for heroes" against a threat, but something went wrong and the people pulled are more random than anticipated. Threat still unknown.
Ω 8/22: Conversing with Yelena, confirmation that Tu Vishan is a turtle. It used to be joined with other giant turtles; it broke away for reasons unknown.
Ω 9/10: Attempted sacrifice at the turtle's head. Members from each gang are present, dressed in all black; the kidnapped include three kedan, Clint Barton, and Triela. Annabeth saves Triela, but Clint is executed, along with two of the kedan.
Ω 9/16: An extremist cell tries to blow the flipper off the turtle and potentially kill it. BUT WHY THO.
Ω 9/20: Clint Barton spotted alive!! After she watched him die. Death is apparently not permanent in this world.
Ω 10/5: FIRST TRIP TO THE LIBRARY. One week. Information (history) is missing, especially that surrounding what happened after Tu Vishan broke from the other turtles - the damage is too concise and consistent to be accidental.
→ Tu Vishan dives underwater on occasion, and there is no pattern to it; Keeliai is prepared to deal with it, but Eshai doesn't say how.
Ω November: Landfall.
→ A mausoleum full of corpses, discovered with the Doctor and Triela; not kedan, thousands of bodies. They all look like they died terrified out of their minds.
→ Magic, powers, abilities, technology: all of it drains the further it/you get from the turtle.
→ Llothi: IDK STUFF HERE they're 9 feet tall and hunt by smell because they're blind. Also they have no skin. Or eyeballs. Their claws are poisonous.
Ω Late November: Meeting Eva.
→ the current group of foreigners is not the first to be summoned
→ Emperor isn't kedan; neither is Evandau.
→ Kedan are not native to this world, brought here after Tu Vishan broke from continent, but before going to war with Vailequios.
→ Kedan an experiment; the summoning messed with their heads, made them meeker and milder than they were originally.
→ Eshai razed the cities of Vailequios. Eva's people all dead; they're the bodies in the Mausoleum, and she dragged them there herself through uses of a stasis field.
→ World is called "Konryu." There are 8-9 continents in total. Vailequios and Chihuelo the only known named ones; Chihuelo is west of Vailquios, contact was lost as the war started.
→ The continents are the remains of dead turtles.
→ Destroyed in war before Eva was born: aerial highways, floating cities-- anti-grav technology. ARSHEPELIOS platforms potentially floating in space; "Orbital defense platforms, really. Big guns."
→ All of the turtles except Tu Vishan were killed in the war; the development of such expansive technology was divisive and reason the war broke out.
→ "Living turtles produce a sort of... mystic energy"; turtle is the energy source for powers and technology in Keeliai, Eshai's power included. Energy can be harnessed in the form of something Bio-mechanical, used to fuel both the cities and magicians.
→ All the aforementioned technology harnessed the energy of the turtles as well as solar power.
→ Eva's parents fought in the resistance against the last army Eshai raised/summoned, when she attacked Vailequios.
→ Eshai using Tu Vishan to make herself more powerful, possibly also extending her life; she's a few centuries old. Potentially had control of Tu Vishan that long, as well.
→ Eva has the ability to potentially send everyone home; Annabeth agrees to serve as her spy.
→ She receives a poem, a hint without more explanation: Above the sky, below the sea / Mirrored secrets wait for thee / Nothing safe nor soft or kind / Dark danger lurks inside the mind
Ω 12/17: Stephanie Brown found a working radio tower on Vailequios.
Ω 1/11: Audience with Evandau. He calls both himself and Eshai survivors of the mainland. Both of them were born there before it all began. The current group of foreigners were summoned during a lull.
→ "The lull started many of your lifetimes ago and is the sole reason that Tu Vishan and Keeliai still stand. It was a reprieve from the endless combat that allowed us to retreat and claim sanctuary here."
Ω 2/2: Talking to the turtle is not... possible. It results in only blitzed out boyfriends; Tu Vishan's mind is too vast and too ancient.
Ω 2/10: Second conversation with Eva. The zombies were awoken on the mainland, having been the corpses from the Mausoleum (now empty).
Ω 2/10: Eshai speaks. Says it was the first time the undead attacked Tu Vishan.
Ω 2/21: Leo and several others are broken out of jail by Eva, having been slated for execution after being caught in the sewers.
Ω 2/24: Cloning facility discovered under the turtle. Percy, Namorita, Kara Zor-el, Noh-Varr. Percy saw a double of Annabeth herself. The kedan initiated a self-destruct and it was destroyed; people began arriving in the palace instead of the ocean after this.
Ω 3/16: Percy shares cloning facility discovery.
→ Deep cloning thoughts with Leo and Annabeth.
→ CLONES TO EXPAND ARMY AND MAKE MORE SOLDIERS??
Ω 3/18: Clark Kent is one of those who'd been freed from prison/execution by Eva. Five potential executions, bringing (by her count) the number of people aware of Eva's existence up to 8 or 9.
Ω 5/8: Iorveth reveals Malicant.
→ Cannot speak the name outside the palace. It has no known weakness.
→ Over 300 foreigners summoned the last time to fight it; records and diaries found attest to this. All 300 are now dead.
→ Malicant disguised himself as a rebel leader the last time.
Ω 5/11: Tu Vishan visits people's dreams.
→ Percy's dream. Annabeth's dream. Leo's dream.
→ Tu Vishan's true name is Asti. Their dive into the water and Percy's attempts to speak with Asti back in February woke him up, after having been asleep for centuries.
→ Eshai's sister sacrificed her life to extend the life of another turtle; it wasn't permanent.
→ The threat they are here to face is called Malicant. Speaking the name draws its attention. Banishing or capturing it might cure Asti's illness.
→ Malicant is "Made of chaos and pain and deceit" and "endlessly cruel"
→ Turtle magic: "It is... innate. Inherent. Our minds are so old, so vast, older than the birth and death of stars."
Ω May 21-23: ARSHEPHELIOS crash lands.
→ 5/23: Spectres attack from the wreckage. Electricity or energy evaporate them (thanks Jason!!). If any remain on the turtle, they're currently in hiding.
Ω 6/9: Vanessa tells her (and Percy and Leo) that all the foreigner bodies are in fact clones of the originals, having asked it of the Emperor. Organic matter can't be brought through, but she did summon their souls. (This does not explain the appearance of Mrs. O'Leary in Atam.)
Ω 6/25: Evandau announcement of the turtle's illness. "Official" confirmation that Malicant is here and killing Tu Vishan.
Ω 6/25: Eva visits.
→ Existence of other planes. A world between "Death, Life, and Dreaming," is to be taken literally. Keeliai as they live in it is the Life plane. Dreaming plane is a peaceful place (food is not required), Death - well let's just not even go there. Eva can access it and take them to the other two, but only with magic.
→ Considers the possibility that Malicant was involved in the resistance movement of Eva's people.
Ω Late June/Early July: Illness and Malicant investigations; Annabeth, Percy, Soranik, Rogue.
→ Recreated an archway (drawn with charcoal and five metal pins) and discovered access into another plane (oops they accidentally went to the Death plane).
→ Soranik collects scans of the plane, the blood (revealed to be kedan in origin), the corpses, the symbol/markings, etc. Percy cleans the blood markings and the magical attempt to kill Tu Vishan is halted. Malicant is likely aware of what they've done.
→ Evandau basically confirms as Eva said, regarding three planes: "Life, dreaming, and death; that's three total and you're alive in this realm. Think about what that means and stop wasting my time."
Ω 7/18: Data compilation.
→ Ever updating.
Ω 8/9: Secondhand info via Toph from the Emperor
→ the kedans' world was dying, destroyed by Malicant before the Emperor pulled them out of it.
→ the palace existed before the kedan, Keeliai did not and rose up with them; the people here before the kedan are dead, killed in a war.
→ Implication that Malicant is not native to this world, can travel multidimensionally.
Ω 8/15: Palace raid; part of distraction team with Percy, Leo, and Roy.
Ω 10/15: Eshai speaks!!
→ The barrier has been strengthened and extended to fifty miles horizontally. It also now glows!
→ Eshai admits the kedan were the first people to be brought to Keeliai, centuries ago.
→ Something happened eighteen months ago to prove Malicant wasn't defeated as they hoped the last time.
→ Malicant seeks the life energy of the turtles; "satiates it like nothing ever has."
→ After Malicant is defeated, Eshai has sworn everyone is returned home, whether via her own self or a failsafe if she dies.
→ The barrier guards Life, and Asti has set up precautions in Dreaming. Death is inaccessible.
→ It may be possible to reconstruct the cloning facilities.
→ Malicant has an aura, but it can be masked. It can manipulate magic and technology both. There's a "reason [she] doesn't let technology advance past a certain point in Keeliai."
→ Malicant was imprisoned last time. Also, dead when imprisoned. It doesn't have a physical body, but it can take one, and he was killed in someone else's body that last time, too.
→
→ Annabeth's own conversation!
→ → The information as to the how of Malicant's defeat is lost, except Eshai's memory.
→ → Malicant has a foothold/influence outside Keeliai and the barrier, on the continents. Any future landfalls should be met with caution, as Malicant can manipulate populations (living or dead; it most likely reanimated the mausoleum corpses). Asti can counteract its influence within the barrier.
→ → Some people may have stronger strength of will to fight off Malicant's influence, similarly to fighting off the presence of Asti. Eshai: "I'm not sure it can be done when the creature exerts its full attention. I have never seen it overcome."
→ → Eight continents; "Although that's a debatable number, given that some may have sank, with the turtles dead."
→ → Satellites possibly related to creature.
→ → Eshai's age is "Roughly twelve hundred years." That's also about when the satellites were launched into orbit, from a variety of places & continents.
→ → According to Eshai, Malicant roused the people of Vailequios to war, about a thousand years ago.
→ → The last group of heroes was here when Sinbrilee sank.
Ω 10/16: Catty went back in time!!
→ 170 years ago, a really great harvest and the kedan were planning a festival for it.
→ 340 years ago, Keeliai was wrecked by something. Evandau was running checkpoints.
Ω 10/18: Ioverth Mally investigation.
→ document with gathered ASS info.
