Memoria, the cosmic embodiment of time and a member of the Six Constants, manifests the ethereal law of temporality. Known to be the counterpart of Amier, who presides over space, Memoria controls all facets of time, memory, and history. He plays an intricate role in the mythology of Eternia, underpinning the essential nature of the universe's continuity and progression.
The Book of Fate, and the Stolen Page
Memoria's dominion is best represented by the Book of Fate, a paradoxical artifact that contains all events past, present, and future. The book records the very fabric of existence and is both in the process of being written and having been completed. The book itself transcends physical form, akin to the ethereal concept of the Akashic Records—a cosmic database chronicling all thoughts, actions, and events in the past, present, and future. To those permitted to perceive it, the Book manifests in a form comprehensible to them: ancient scrolls, endless libraries, vast tapestries, or even complex arrays of celestial holograms, each detailing the saga of existence in intricate detail.
Oneiros, the Master of Fate under Hel and one of the Five Marquis, once stole a page from this book through a pact with a mortal named ████ █████, said to have been beloved by Memoria so much that they were blessed as an orator, able to move nations and progress the years with their words. ████ █████ had fallen into temptation and yearned to learn everything and everything, including the secret to immortality.
Using ████ as a vessel, Oneiros used his power to grant them access to Memoria’s realm, but fell into a time loop under the Constant of Time’s intricate creation, endlessly chasing a page from the Book of Fate. But for Oneiros, this temporal maze was not a prison but a riddle to be bested. His keen understanding of the loop's subtle variances allowed him to perceive it as a spiral, finding within its repetitions the slight imperfections that spelled opportunity.
Weaving a spell from his own essence and the wisdom derived from Hel, he caused the cycles to falter, creating a temporary rupture in the otherwise impervious loop. Through this self-inflicted breach, Oneiros executed his masterstroke: stealing but a single page from the currents of time, severing his possession of ████, and escaping through the rift.
As the cycle reformed, ████’s fate is left adrift in the tides outside of time, their end an unknown. Their existence was erased from any recorded history and the memories of mortals, unwanted by paradise and Helheim; suffering the punishment of Damnatio Memoriae.
Realm
Within Memoria's realm, time loses its linear march and becomes a tactile essence, curating an atmosphere where past, present, and future coalesce. At the heart of this domain stands a towering obelisk, an infinite spire that houses an endless library. Here, the chronicles of all creation are etched into every surface, written on leaves as thin as wisps of eternity, bound by the gravity of perpetual knowledge.
Surrounding the obelisk, a labyrinth sprawls in all directions, its pathways and walls in constant, silent flux, mirroring the malleable nature of time itself. Within this maze, corridors fold upon themselves, spaces expand and contract, and dead-ends unravel to reveal new passages.
The air inside the obelisk thrums with the essence of time, visible to the eye as shimmering waves that undulate along the rows of ancient tomes and artifacts. This energy allows for the molding of time — stretching it thin, condensing it to essence, or looping it back on itself — enabling the guardians and seekers within to explore the depths of causality and consequence.
Influence on Mortals
The gifts of language and written word are attributed to Memoria, allowing cultures to preserve their history and mythologies. It's said that Memoria's inspiration led to the creation of the first languages and scripts, which helped humanity form their diverse cultures and solidify their narratives across the ages.
He is often praised but rarely invoked. Those that worship him are usually historians, scholars, soothsayers, philosophers, and those who seek to understand the complex nature of time. His followers often find themselves at the heart of academia, preserving the stories and lessons of history.
Memoria’s influence subtly ensnares the threads of those who, knowingly or by chance, brush against the canvas of the ages—be it through influencing history's course, etching a mark upon its vast expanse, or simply witnessing its ceaseless march through visions. These special individuals become integral co-authors in the ceaseless roll of time, their actions and observations interlacing with His Continuum’s design. As they go about their lives, their every decision, every whisper of thought, is steered by Memoria’s unseen hand, ensuring that the grand tapestry of existence unfurls in harmonious accord with the preordained patterns etched within his timeless Book of Fate.
The Triumvirate of Fate
Within Meranthe, three divine entities enact their will through a silent covenant. The Constant Memoria, with the Book of Fate in hand, outlines the temporal destiny of each soul. Enarr, his insight piercing the veil of uncertainty, infuses each path with purpose and direction, ensuring that the leaders who emerge are worthy and that the sailors find their way through the tumultuous seas around the peninsula. Gala's influence is more subtle, yet no less impactful. The Night Mother aligns the stars to reflect the ebbs and flows of power, her constellations serving as celestial omens that whisper of great events to come, ensuring that the spiritual and the material are in harmonious balance.
The Triumvirate operates in an intricate balance, where Memoria's timeless scope, Enarr's guiding wisdom, and Gala's astral manipulation converge. Together, they are said to forge the fate of every being on Meranthe, a grand tapestry that is perpetually woven, unraveling and reforming in the eternal loom of existence. Each fate is a thread, and through the combined efforts of this divine trio, the pattern that emerges is one of unending complexity and beauty—a masterpiece fit for the annals of eternity.
