release notes:
THE MOTHER GOD
All of existence-the multiple dimensions, multiverses, galaxies, and
solar systems- birthed from a womb of celestial nothingness. Before time,
there was only impenetrable darkness, with only one consciousness in the
endless expanse of the void. At the heart of the darkness from which all
matter spawned dwells the Mother God. Her origins unknown, she is the
subjective arbiter of all creation and order. With eyes bleached white by
omnipotence, she brandishes a large mace and axe, inscribed with glowing
runes of a language unknown.
She is forever surrounded by seven black flames-each representing a facet
of her laws. These laws are to be followed by the Gardners, the
intelligent caretakers of each planet. On Earth, the Gardners are the
human race. Her laws are as follows:
I) Tend thy world
II) Preserve pure life
III) Waste not
IV) Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
V) Defend thy brethren
VI) Seek knowledge
VII) Forsake hatred
She continued to create, expanding the diversity and reach of life
through the universe. As time went, and millennia passed, certain forms
of life became self-destructive, cruel towards other forms of life, and
in some cases, obliterated their own home worlds.
To keep watch over the Gardners, and the planets they tended, the Mother
God created lesser deities to ensure that cosmic order was maintained,
and that the Gardners did not stray from their path. This pantheon,
called the Keepers, each served as guardians of their own collective of
life.
Yet, despite this measure, corruption continued. In some cases, the
Keepers themselves became enthralled by their own power, giving in to
hubris, and creating worlds that suited their own selfish desires.
Enraged over the displays of disrespect for the gifts she bestowed,
created a greater form of being. Birthed with an unceasing lust to
consume sidereal decay, the Black Hole Covenant were born.
Cosmic demons, they travel the infinite expanse, ever-frothing,
ever-starved for the flesh of dying species and planets. Cloaked in
stars, with monolithic, leathery wings, and black bone horns that curved
over faces both beautiful and horrible, skin the inky shade of a black
hole. They hold the universe her laws with an iron fist. When the
Gardners of a world break the Mother God's laws, or when a Keeper has
gone mad, the planet itself will begin to decay, releasing distress
pheromones to the Black Hole Covenant. This is their sign to consume that
planet, cutting off the corrupted branch from her tree of life.
