The Legacy Project

 

A Blueprint to Save the World

Two archwizards, Adrius Vespasius and Ozwald Diabel D'Gazeron, collaborated on the Legacy Project to ensure some record of the world continued on through the coming apocalypse predicted by Otori's Revelation and their own assessments of the cosmos. However, with Adrius incarcerated under Demon Mountain, and neither wizard able to independently source information on that scale, they turned to developing a self-updating repository by means of a third agent which they dubbed "Legacy."  

The Maze Engine

The Maze Engine was initially created by Primordials of Law as a prediction model. It was a simulated microcosm of the Verse and could be used to accurately model the results of changes in the world. In some ways, it was analogous to the great Ordering Machine of Primus. The Maze Engine had come to be located in the Black Chasm south of Emanys, and Oz had sealed it away within a nearly indestructible vault accessible only by means of a unique hexagonal prism staff of caelestite.  

The Project

To achieve their ends, Oz and Adrius designed a construct capable of being sent through a time rift to manually gather information and records. However, because such rifts are exceedingly rare and even more difficult to detect, the archwizards would not be able to count on the construct returning except through the passage of time. When Legacy eventually made it back, the wizards would preform necessary repairs and transcribe the newly collected knowledge of the construct into specially designed tablets of caelestite. Then, Oz would transport Legacy back to the temporal rift to continue the process with new parameters.

Use by the Fatebreakers

In 1016 SA 5, the Fatebreakers and Arkhan entered the vault of the Maze Engine to learn the location of the final piece of the Rod of Law in their quest to restore it. They later returned after removing the piece acting as the linchpin binding the true name of Tartarus and returned where they reforged the Rod of Law. There Arkhan was convinced that it was not his destiny to usher in a new world, and was further convinced of the Fatemakers' ability to prevent the end of the world. Then, in 1017, after the final battle on the precipice of oblivion, the Fatebreakers returned to the vault to repair the damage done to the world by using the Maze Engine, Rod of Law, and Legacy's repository in conjunction with one another. Arabella also tried to scour all knowledge of █████████ from the minds of mortals and obscure references to it from texts, so that it could not return. What is done cannot be undone however, and they were unable to reverse the effects. Instead, they restored the integrity of the world using the reality altering power of the two artifacts of law and the templates in the repository. Then, each of the Fatebreakers went their separate ways and the vault was sealed once more.
