Also referred to as "The Progenitor" or simply "Master" by its minions. | |||
Aerbax has been a character in Asheron's Call since [[The Rise of the New Singularity]], the 2nd story arc. It started out as one of the rogue [[Virindi]] that had gained individuality. <ref name=OrbClarity>2001/04 [[A Reign of Stone]] - [[Orb of Clarity]]</ref> | |||
=== Early Experimentations === | |||
In its earlier days Aerbax was responsible for the Virindi augmentation of many creatures and the creation of new servant beings. Most notable of its creations were the [[Doll]]s and [[Marionette]]s <ref name=RiseNewSingularity>[[AC:DM CD Lore/Historical Overview/Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity]]</ref><ref name=OrbClarity/> and the experiments on the [[Tumerok]], resulting in the [[Hea Tumerok]]<ref name=Destructions/> <ref name=EnergySource/>. | |||
After splitting from the [[Directive]] and gradually began to realizing its own independence, it was one of the more important members of the [[New Directive]] <ref>2003/05 [[Discoveries]] - [[A Note from Aerbax]]</ref><ref>[[AC:DM CD Lore/Virindi Texts/Dirrich's Journal]]</ref>, and responsible for many experiments on Derethian creatures.<ref name=PackAerbax>2008/05 [[Introductions]] - [[Pack Aerbax]]</ref><ref name=Destructions>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Destructions and Beginnings]]</ref> <ref name=EnergySource>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Energy Source]]</ref> | |||
When again part of the [[Directive]], Aerbax also created [[Oolutanga, the Tusker King|Oolutanga]]<ref name=Destructions/> <ref>2002/12 - [[The Hall of the Tusker King]] - [[Announcements - 2002/12 - The Hall of the Tusker King#Teaser]]</ref><ref>2002/12 [[The Hall of the Tusker King]] - [[The Legend of the Tusker Paw#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> <ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Personal Research Notes: Tuskers]]</ref>, the augmented Tusker, and [[Martine]]<ref>2001/02 - [[Lonely in the World]] - [[Facilitation]]</ref><ref name="A Journal by Martine">2002/02 - [[Fever Dreams]] - [[A Journal by Martine]]</ref><ref name="Pack Martine">2004/11 - [[On Bended Knee]] - Pack Martine</ref> <ref name=Destructions/><ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Failure]]</ref> <ref name=ObservationsSangi>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Observations and Instructions: Dojiro Sangi]]</ref>. Both experiments escaped and became major characters in Dereth. He might also be responsible for the alteration of [[Harker]]<ref>2003/07 [[Harker's Orders]]</ref>, one of the first [[Simulacrum]] experiments. From later notes it is derived that Aerbax experimented with the concept of "Worship", using [[Idol]]s, when trying to gain control of the [[Mosswart]]s.<ref name=PiecePaper>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons] - [[Piece of Paper]]</ref> | |||
When it came to defeating the [[Harbinger]], [[Nuhmudira]] and Aerbax each went their own path. To reach the Harbinger, one can chose helping Aerbax by handing an item to its represenative, the Virindi [[Vincadi]].<ref>2003/08 [[Into the Darkness]] - [[Into the Darkness#Town Crier Rumors|Town Crier Rumors]]</ref> | |||
=== Experiments on Caul === | |||
== | When the [[New Singularity]] was defeated Aerbax found a way to rejoin the [[Quiddity]] without losing its individuality.<ref name=Destructions/> In this role, it was responsible for the shaping of [[Caul]],though it was still secretly persecuting its own goals, amongst it the defeat of the "Light Child", i.e. [[Asheron]]. <ref name=Destructions/><ref name=EnergySource/> It managed to develop an observation system on the Island. <ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Parallax Auguries]]</ref> | ||
At some point, Aerbax discovered an “Energy Source”, under which influence it became more and more aware of its individuality and its own goals, separate from the Directive.<ref name=EnergySource>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Energy Source]]</ref> It used this source to augment creatures and Virindi to new strengths, such as the [[Virindi Profatrix]] and the [[Virindi Paradox]]es.<ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Announcements - 2003/01 - The Slumbering Giant#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref>2003/02 [[That Which Is Ours]] - [[Announcements - 2003/02 - That Which Is Ours#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref>2003/03 [[A Perfect Paradox]] - [[Announcements - 2003/03 - A Perfect Paradox#Teaser|Teaser]] </ref> <ref name=Destructions/> <ref name=EnergySource/><ref>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Virindi Paradox Kill Task#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> Some were less successful than other, like its experiments on Mosswarts (referred to as "croakers").<ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Research Notes: Mosswart]]</ref>. Its experimentations on Shadows however, were more promising.<ref>2003/01 [[The Slumbering Giant]] - [[Research Notes: "Children of Darkness"]]</ref> It also experimented with [[Mattekar]]s, with partial success. The description of the result resembles a being later introduced as the [[Gurog]].<ref>2004/01 [[Mirror, Mirror]] - [[Research Notes: Mattekar]]</ref> Most of these experiments were put in "stasis" for further study. | |||
| | |||
One of the first signs of Aerbax mingling with Dark or Shadow Energies came to the fore when [[Nuhmudira]] sent Isparians to [[Aerbax's Holding]] to obtain the [[Bracelet of Dark Essence]]. The dungeon is filled with Shadows and Shadowy Statues of the Hopeslayer.<ref>2003/10 [[Reign of Terror]] - [[Aerbax's Holding]]</ref>It becomes apparent that Aerbax is at odds with the [[Directive]].<ref>2003/10 [[Reign of Terror]] - [[2003/10 - Ancient Olthoi Queen#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> | |||
| | |||
| | Aerbax had a companion at the Energy Source<ref name=EnergySource/> which it called its Mirror.<ref name=Destructions/><ref>2003/11 [[Visions in the Darkness]] - [[The Mirror]]</ref> It was later revealed that Aerbax's Mirror was [[Ler Rhan]], and the Energy Source was a [[Kemeroi]], one of the great evil beings hidden deep within the world, which further twisted it towards Shadow and destruction.<ref name=PackAerbax/> Together, they were responsible for taking over Caul Island from the [[Directive]] and the once Virindi dominated island now shows a strong Shadow influence. Not only did the island physically change (ridges becoming higher and more pronounced, and the plateau in the middle changed into a crater, Caulcano), but also the flora, and for all, the fauna.<ref>2004/01 [[Mirror, Mirror]] - [[Announcements - 2004/01 - Mirror, Mirror#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | For some time Aerbax and [[Ler Rhan]] were rather inactive, with their only major activities on Dereth being the creation of the creatures which now populate the [[Valley of Death]], such as the shadow-touched Virindi<ref>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Shadow-touched Virindi Paradox Kill Task#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> and the alteration of the once Virindi stronghold of the [[Singularity Caul]] into a place twisted by Shadow.<ref name=Destructions/><ref name=EnergySource/><ref>2003/11 [[Visions in the Darkness]] - [[Visions in the Darkness#Town Crier Rumors|Town Crier Rumors]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | Aerbax used three [[Power Forges]] to "harness the power of the Inner Eye".<ref>2004/12 [[The Calm]] - [[Inner Sea Directive]]</ref> Another power source it was looking into was the [[Dark Monolith.<ref>2006/04 [[Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands]] - [[Dark Monolith Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref>2006/04 [[Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands]] - [[Dark Monolith Caverns Portal Gem]] - Description</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | It also tried to compromise the different Houses of the [[Tanada]], with partial success.<ref>2007/03 [[Ancient Enemies]] - [[Tanada House of Water Orders]]</ref><ref>2007/07 [[Intelligent Designs]] - [[Translated Black Water Watcher's Shard]]</ref><ref>2009/02 [[Unfinished Business]] - [[Tanada House of Fire Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> | ||

| | |||
| | === Prodigal Children ([[Favored Sons]] Story Arc) === | ||
| | |||
| | After the defeat of [[Grael]], Aerbax returned to the story, featured as the major villain in the [[Favored Sons]] story arc. Aerbax hatched a plot to dominate the creatures of Auberean by crafting prodigal versions of several selected different races.<ref name=PackAerbax/> To obtain this goal, it planned to use its new knowledge to create "Prodigal"<ref>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Announcements - 2007/10 - Masked Memories#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref> creatures, which would serve as leaders for these selected races.<ref name=ObservationsHarraag>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Observations: Harraag (Unattuned)]]</ref> One of the results of the experiments is that Aerbax is linked to and "feels" his "Children, especially the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen]], [[Bonecrunch]] the prodigal Drudge, [[Harraag]] the prodigal Banderling and [[Bragara, the Chosen One|Bragara]], the prodigal Mosswart <ref name=OlthoiExperimentLog>2007/07 [[Intelligent Designs]] - [[Olthoi Experiment Log]]</ref>, thereby creating a new Quiddity, one very similar to the Quiddity of the Virindi that Aerbax had separated himself from. This Quiddity is an amalgamation of the memories and powers of all the beings that are linked to it. It is a shared consciousness, the perfect apotheosis of all the spirit-walking, mind-sharing rituals that the [[Tumerok]] tapped into so primitively and incompletely. And [[Aerbax's Quiddity]] is made entirely of beings created and more or less controlled by Aerbax's own will.<ref name=RheagaJournal>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Rheaga's Journal]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | The first noticeable activity was the creation of the simulacrum Tusker [[Mudmouth]], who was sent to [[Oolutanga]] as an adviser, but who was in truth slowly poisoning and weakening the Tusker King.<ref>2007/07 [[Evolution]] - [[Bobo's Medicine#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> Mudmouth fled, and was later discovered in a cave, together with [[Dark Bobo]].<ref>2007/08 [[Corrupted Sovereigns]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Tusker]]</ref><ref>2007/07 [[Intelligent Designs]] - [[Tusker Experiment Orb]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | One of its experiments was on a young Olthoi Queen, captured by the [[Tanada]]. <ref>2007/03 [[Ancient Enemies]] - [[Directives]]</ref><ref>2007/03 [[Ancient Enemies]] - [[Tanada House of Water Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> The results of its experiments are the [[Paradox Olthoi]]<ref>2007/08 [[Corrupted Sovereigns]] - [[Announcements - 2007/08 - Corrupted Sovereigns#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> and the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen]].<ref>2007/08 [[Corrupted Sovereigns]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi]]</ref> As was expected, the altered Queen destroyed the Tanada, and This was one of the experiments Aerbax regarded as a success.<ref name=OlthoiExperimentLog/> | ||
| | |||
| | To obtain subjects for its experiments, sentient beings were kidnapped throughout Dereth. This included a [[Hea Tumerok]], a [[Banderling]], a [[Drudge]], an [[Isparian]] and [[Claude the Archmage]].<ref>2007/03 [[Ancient Enemies]] - [[Missing Persons Investigation]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | |||
| | Another of its actions was the establishment of an imposter of [[Lord Kresovus]] in [[Linvak Tukal]]<ref>2007/04 [[Strange Sightings]] - [[Bur Recall Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> and the alteration of Lugians into Shadow [[Lugian]]s <ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Hidden Note]]</ref> and therefore, indirectly, the kidnapping of [[Balor]].<ref>2005/02 [[Infiltration]] - [[Coda]]</ref> The [[Shadow Kresovus]], the Prodigal Lugian, was discovered and the real [[Lord Kresovus]] was rescued from the tunnels below the fortress city of Linvak Tukal. Balor's pelt was found below the city, but the fate of the beast was still a mystery. <ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Lugian#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> | ||
| | |||
| | The experimentation on Drudges resulted in a significant higher intelligence and planning<ref>2007/04 [[Strange Sightings]] - [[Drudge Plan]]</ref> capabilities, such as their occupation of the town of [[Cragstone]]<ref>2007/06 [[Evolution]] - [[Announcements - 2007/06 - Evolution#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=ProdigalTeaser>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Announcements - 2007/05 - Prodigal Sons#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=ProdigalRollout>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Announcements - 2007/05 - Prodigal Sons#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref><ref>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Jarvis Hammerstone#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> and the creation of the [[Drudge Fort]], the base of the Prodigal Drudge, [[Bonecrunch]].<ref>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Drudge]]</ref> The drudges were also holding Monougas captive to be used in Aerbax'experiments, <ref>2007/07 [[Intelligent Designs]] - [[Monouga Laboratory#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> These experiments were not meant to create a leader of the altered creatures, but a champion destroyer of its forces.<ref>2007/07 [[Intelligent Designs]] - [[Monouga Experiment Log]]</ref> | ||
Another result was the creation of [[Harraag]], the Prodigal Banderling.<ref>2007/04 [[Strange Sightings]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Banderling]]</ref><ref name=ObservationsHarraag/> Though it seemed the altered Banderling adapted well, the Banderling themselves were highly resistant to following any being perceived as different from or from outside their species, and this included [[Harraag]]. The Banderlings gathered large numbers to drive it off, and [[Harraag]] retreated to a physical cave, and, surprisingly, "ripped a hole into Portalspace*" in which to escape. Because of its unanticipated abilities, Aerbax did not perceive this experiment as a total failure, but decided to leave Harraag for now. <ref name=ObservationsHarraag/><ref>2007/04 [[Strange Sightings]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Banderling#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> | |||
Also the Mosswarts showed an increased degree of organization and besieged the town of [[Kryst]], directed by [[Bragara, the Chosen One]], the Prodigal Mosswart, who was supposed to inspire a kind of "worship" amongst his kin.<ref name=PiecePaper/> <ref name=ProdigalTeaser/><ref>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Mosswart Townsfolk Kill Task#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref>2007/05 [[Prodigal Sons]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Mosswart]]</ref> The experiment was considered a partial success, since while [[Bragara, the Chosen One]] was able to unify a force of Mosswarts, they were fraught with dissension in the ranks, they were inclined to believe a range of things, which sometimes made sense and sometimes didn't. They were inclined to be confused, and would not have worked as a stable organized force to conquer the neighboring human town.<ref name=PiecePaper/> | |||
After a relatively quiet period, the [[Prodigal Harbinger]] was discovered underneath the town of [[Old Yanshi]].<ref>2007/09 [[Dark Materials]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Harbinger]]</ref>. [[Ler Rhan]]'s experiments instigated by Aerbax<ref>2007/09 [[Dark Materials]] - [[Translated Shadow Artifex Shard]]</ref> resulted in the creation of a Prodigal Shadow Child by the name of [[Kirienne Palacost]].<ref name =PulsatingLump>2007/09 [[Dark Materials]] - [[Translation of the Pulsating Bony Lump]]</ref><ref name=Scrap>2007/09 [[Dark Materials]] - Description of [[Scrap of Shadow Essence]]</ref><ref>2007/09 [[Dark Materials]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Shadow]]</ref> | |||
[[Claude the Archmage]], the Virindi who was abducted from Ayan, returned to his shop. He had been twisted by Aerbax into his Prodigal Virindi, but Claude acted as if he had never been taken and altered at all. Leopold, the other Virindi of Ayan, was concerned by his companion's change, and sent adventurers on a quest that would take them into the very mind of Claude.<ref>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Delving into Claude's Mind]]</ref> | |||
An experiment to alter a [[Hea Tumerok]] further<ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Letter to Nomea]]</ref> did not have the desired result, since the altered Tumerok kept a mind of his own and had no desire to meet, let alone unite or enslave, his brethren. Nor did he care to wage any kind of war, by arms, sorcery, or guile, against humankind.<ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Tumerok#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Announcements - 2007/11 - Children of the Prodigal Lord#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=RheagaJournal/> | |||
Another of its actions was the alteration of Lugians into Shadow [[Lugian]]s <ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Hidden Note]]</ref> and therefore, indirectly, the kidnapping of [[Balor]].<ref>2005/02 [[Infiltration]] - [[Coda]]</ref> | |||
Based upon its experience with [[Martine]], Aerbax had high hopes for the alteration of the Human, and thought this one to be the most promising of his Children.<ref name=ObservationsSangi/><ref name=RheagaJournal/> The experiments on the kidnapped human, [[Dojiro Sangi]], performed by [[Demerax the Sculptor]] in the [[Hidden Laboratory]], could not be finished before being interrupted, and the subject itself was resisting and kept a will of his own.<ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Prodigal Human Investigation]]</ref><ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Aerbax's Prodigal Human]]</ref><ref name=ObservationsSangi/> | |||
Aerbax summoned his Children (amongst them Bonecrunch, the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen and Dark Bobo)to the desert near [[Yaraq]], where during a Live Event the Isparians fought a long and hard battle. Aerbax goal was not so much to defeat the Isparians, but it was supposed to be a test of the creatures' power. <ref>2007/11 [[Children of the Prodigal Lord]] - [[Miniature Hollow Minion Chest#Notes]]</ref> | |||
=== Quiddity Seeds === | |||
After being defeated by the Isparians and the failure of his prodigal experiments, Aerbax tried to erase the memories of important events from the mind of the Isparians in an attempt to break their spirits and make them more easily controlled<ref name=RheagaJournal/>, such as the memory of the defeat of the [[Olthoi Queen]] <ref>2008/01 [[Recollections]] - [[Black Death Catacombs Quiddity Seed Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> <ref>2008/01 [[Recollections]] - [[Execution Log of Strathelar Modification]]</ref>, of the triumph against [[Bael'Zharon]] <ref>2008/01 [[Recollections]] - [[Ithaenc Quiddity Seed Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref>2008/01 [[Recollections]] - [[Translated Thief of Dreams Message Shard]]</ref>, and of [[Asheron]] saving the [[Empyrean]]s from the [[Olthoi]].<ref>2008/01 [[Recollections]] - [[Knorr Quiddity Seed Quest#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> It was finally defeated at its [[Aerbax's Citadel (POI)|Citadel]] in the center of the [[Obsidian Plains]] during a one-time event.<ref>2008/02 [[The Beast With Many Heads]] - [[2008/02 - Aerbax's Defeat]]</ref> though his Shadow remains.<ref>2008/02 [[The Beast With Many Heads]] - [[Aerbax's Citadel#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref>2008/02 [[The Beast With Many Heads]] - [[Asheron's Report]]</ref> | |||
=== Aftermath === | |||
Aerbax's shadow has now been sundered, but Aerbax still exists and may one day again attempt to guide the course of history from afar.<ref name=PackAerbax/> | |||
[[Isin Dule]] studied the work of Aerbax and learned of the misguided plans it had. There, in the work left behind, he discovered the means to redemption – a means to channel the maddening sway of chaos elsewhere. This way, the Shadows were able to join the Isparians.<ref>2010/04 [[Shedding Skin]] - [[Announcements - 2010/04 - Shedding Skin#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> | |||

Also referred to as "The Progenitor" or simply "Master" by its minions.
Aerbax has been a character in Asheron's Call since The Rise of the New Singularity, the 2nd story arc. It started out as one of the rogue Virindi that had gained individuality. [1]
Early Experimentations Edit
In its earlier days Aerbax was responsible for the Virindi augmentation of many creatures and the creation of new servant beings. Most notable of its creations were the Dolls and Marionettes [2][1] and the experiments on the Tumerok, resulting in the Hea Tumerok[3] [4].
After splitting from the Directive and gradually began to realizing its own independence, it was one of the more important members of the New Directive [5][6], and responsible for many experiments on Derethian creatures.[7][3] [4]
When again part of the Directive, Aerbax also created Oolutanga[3] [8][9] [10], the augmented Tusker, and Martine[11][12][13] [3][14] [15]. Both experiments escaped and became major characters in Dereth. He might also be responsible for the alteration of Harker[16], one of the first Simulacrum experiments. From later notes it is derived that Aerbax experimented with the concept of "Worship", using Idols, when trying to gain control of the Mosswarts.[17] When it came to defeating the Harbinger, Nuhmudira and Aerbax each went their own path. To reach the Harbinger, one can chose helping Aerbax by handing an item to its represenative, the Virindi Vincadi.[18]
Experiments on Caul Edit
When the New Singularity was defeated Aerbax found a way to rejoin the Quiddity without losing its individuality.[3] In this role, it was responsible for the shaping of Caul,though it was still secretly persecuting its own goals, amongst it the defeat of the "Light Child", i.e. Asheron. [3][4] It managed to develop an observation system on the Island. [19] At some point, Aerbax discovered an “Energy Source”, under which influence it became more and more aware of its individuality and its own goals, separate from the Directive.[4] It used this source to augment creatures and Virindi to new strengths, such as the Virindi Profatrix and the Virindi Paradoxes.[20][21][22] [3] [4][23] Some were less successful than other, like its experiments on Mosswarts (referred to as "croakers").[24]. Its experimentations on Shadows however, were more promising.[25] It also experimented with Mattekars, with partial success. The description of the result resembles a being later introduced as the Gurog.[26] Most of these experiments were put in "stasis" for further study.
One of the first signs of Aerbax mingling with Dark or Shadow Energies came to the fore when Nuhmudira sent Isparians to Aerbax's Holding to obtain the Bracelet of Dark Essence. The dungeon is filled with Shadows and Shadowy Statues of the Hopeslayer.[27]It becomes apparent that Aerbax is at odds with the Directive.[28]
Aerbax had a companion at the Energy Source[4] which it called its Mirror.[3][29] It was later revealed that Aerbax's Mirror was Ler Rhan, and the Energy Source was a Kemeroi, one of the great evil beings hidden deep within the world, which further twisted it towards Shadow and destruction.[7] Together, they were responsible for taking over Caul Island from the Directive and the once Virindi dominated island now shows a strong Shadow influence. Not only did the island physically change (ridges becoming higher and more pronounced, and the plateau in the middle changed into a crater, Caulcano), but also the flora, and for all, the fauna.[30]
For some time Aerbax and Ler Rhan were rather inactive, with their only major activities on Dereth being the creation of the creatures which now populate the Valley of Death, such as the shadow-touched Virindi[31] and the alteration of the once Virindi stronghold of the Singularity Caul into a place twisted by Shadow.[3][4][32]
Aerbax used three Power Forges to "harness the power of the Inner Eye".[33] Another power source it was looking into was the [[Dark Monolith.[34][35]
It also tried to compromise the different Houses of the Tanada, with partial success.[36][37][38]
Prodigal Children (Favored Sons Story Arc) Edit
After the defeat of Grael, Aerbax returned to the story, featured as the major villain in the Favored Sons story arc. Aerbax hatched a plot to dominate the creatures of Auberean by crafting prodigal versions of several selected different races.[7] To obtain this goal, it planned to use its new knowledge to create "Prodigal"[39] creatures, which would serve as leaders for these selected races.[40] One of the results of the experiments is that Aerbax is linked to and "feels" his "Children, especially the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen, Bonecrunch the prodigal Drudge, Harraag the prodigal Banderling and Bragara, the prodigal Mosswart [41], thereby creating a new Quiddity, one very similar to the Quiddity of the Virindi that Aerbax had separated himself from. This Quiddity is an amalgamation of the memories and powers of all the beings that are linked to it. It is a shared consciousness, the perfect apotheosis of all the spirit-walking, mind-sharing rituals that the Tumerok tapped into so primitively and incompletely. And Aerbax's Quiddity is made entirely of beings created and more or less controlled by Aerbax's own will.[42]
The first noticeable activity was the creation of the simulacrum Tusker Mudmouth, who was sent to Oolutanga as an adviser, but who was in truth slowly poisoning and weakening the Tusker King.[43] Mudmouth fled, and was later discovered in a cave, together with Dark Bobo.[44][45]
One of its experiments was on a young Olthoi Queen, captured by the Tanada. [46][47] The results of its experiments are the Paradox Olthoi[48] and the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen.[49] As was expected, the altered Queen destroyed the Tanada, and This was one of the experiments Aerbax regarded as a success.[41]
To obtain subjects for its experiments, sentient beings were kidnapped throughout Dereth. This included a Hea Tumerok, a Banderling, a Drudge, an Isparian and Claude the Archmage.[50]
Another of its actions was the establishment of an imposter of Lord Kresovus in Linvak Tukal[51] and the alteration of Lugians into Shadow Lugians [52] and therefore, indirectly, the kidnapping of Balor.[53] The Shadow Kresovus, the Prodigal Lugian, was discovered and the real Lord Kresovus was rescued from the tunnels below the fortress city of Linvak Tukal. Balor's pelt was found below the city, but the fate of the beast was still a mystery. [54]
The experimentation on Drudges resulted in a significant higher intelligence and planning[55] capabilities, such as their occupation of the town of Cragstone[56][57][58][59] and the creation of the Drudge Fort, the base of the Prodigal Drudge, Bonecrunch.[60] The drudges were also holding Monougas captive to be used in Aerbax'experiments, [61] These experiments were not meant to create a leader of the altered creatures, but a champion destroyer of its forces.[62]
Another result was the creation of Harraag, the Prodigal Banderling.[63][40] Though it seemed the altered Banderling adapted well, the Banderling themselves were highly resistant to following any being perceived as different from or from outside their species, and this included Harraag. The Banderlings gathered large numbers to drive it off, and Harraag retreated to a physical cave, and, surprisingly, "ripped a hole into Portalspace*" in which to escape. Because of its unanticipated abilities, Aerbax did not perceive this experiment as a total failure, but decided to leave Harraag for now. [40][64]
Also the Mosswarts showed an increased degree of organization and besieged the town of Kryst, directed by Bragara, the Chosen One, the Prodigal Mosswart, who was supposed to inspire a kind of "worship" amongst his kin.[17] [57][65][66] The experiment was considered a partial success, since while Bragara, the Chosen One was able to unify a force of Mosswarts, they were fraught with dissension in the ranks, they were inclined to believe a range of things, which sometimes made sense and sometimes didn't. They were inclined to be confused, and would not have worked as a stable organized force to conquer the neighboring human town.[17]
After a relatively quiet period, the Prodigal Harbinger was discovered underneath the town of Old Yanshi.[67]. Ler Rhan's experiments instigated by Aerbax[68] resulted in the creation of a Prodigal Shadow Child by the name of Kirienne Palacost.[69][70][71]
Claude the Archmage, the Virindi who was abducted from Ayan, returned to his shop. He had been twisted by Aerbax into his Prodigal Virindi, but Claude acted as if he had never been taken and altered at all. Leopold, the other Virindi of Ayan, was concerned by his companion's change, and sent adventurers on a quest that would take them into the very mind of Claude.[72]
An experiment to alter a Hea Tumerok further[73] did not have the desired result, since the altered Tumerok kept a mind of his own and had no desire to meet, let alone unite or enslave, his brethren. Nor did he care to wage any kind of war, by arms, sorcery, or guile, against humankind.[74][75][42]
Another of its actions was the alteration of Lugians into Shadow Lugians [76] and therefore, indirectly, the kidnapping of Balor.[77]
Based upon its experience with Martine, Aerbax had high hopes for the alteration of the Human, and thought this one to be the most promising of his Children.[15][42] The experiments on the kidnapped human, Dojiro Sangi, performed by Demerax the Sculptor in the Hidden Laboratory, could not be finished before being interrupted, and the subject itself was resisting and kept a will of his own.[78][79][15]
Aerbax summoned his Children (amongst them Bonecrunch, the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen and Dark Bobo)to the desert near Yaraq, where during a Live Event the Isparians fought a long and hard battle. Aerbax goal was not so much to defeat the Isparians, but it was supposed to be a test of the creatures' power. [80]
Quiddity Seeds Edit
After being defeated by the Isparians and the failure of his prodigal experiments, Aerbax tried to erase the memories of important events from the mind of the Isparians in an attempt to break their spirits and make them more easily controlled[42], such as the memory of the defeat of the Olthoi Queen [81] [82], of the triumph against Bael'Zharon [83][84], and of Asheron saving the Empyreans from the Olthoi.[85] It was finally defeated at its Citadel in the center of the Obsidian Plains during a one-time event.[86] though his Shadow remains.[87][88]
Aftermath Edit
Aerbax's shadow has now been sundered, but Aerbax still exists and may one day again attempt to guide the course of history from afar.[7]
Isin Dule studied the work of Aerbax and learned of the misguided plans it had. There, in the work left behind, he discovered the means to redemption – a means to channel the maddening sway of chaos elsewhere. This way, the Shadows were able to join the Isparians.[89]
