7. History & Lore

• The Demonic Trans-Ascension: Originally an ancient demon lord of the Abyss in the 2nd World, Eltithalci realized that the chaotic destruction of the Abyss was a dead end. Through sheer volition, she began to study the beauty of ordered change—evolution rather than mindless slaughter. She shed her demonic nature, forming a cosmic chrysalis that hatched into her current Sovereign Entity form during the Great Shattering.
