Black Fates is a chilling, hyper-prestigious major keyset within the Realm. Tied directly and exclusively to the title holder of the Keeper of the Shadows (one of the Six Points of Humanity), this multi-key keyset represents entropic manipulation, fate severing, and deep shadow mechanics. It is systematically mapped within the primary Summons of the Realm index.
Overview
The Black Fates serve as the primary entropic weapon and dimensional concealment engine of the Keeper of the Shadows. These spirits represent the absolute end of vital threads, terminal timelines, and standard cosmic decay.
The keyset holds a highly unique structural hierarchy. Beyond its foundational baseline entities, it includes a prestigious inner circle of converted Holy War Era Void Angels and Twilight Void Angels. Rather than traditional divine constructs, these entities are actually former mortals—the legendary Void Angel Mages who fought during the catastrophic Holy Wars. They deliberately agreed to be bound and converted into celestial keys so that future generations would possess immortal, experienced master instructors. Crucially, these Void Angels do not train the Keepers directly; instead, they exist strictly to mentor and train Shadowquips, guiding them through the absolute complexities of twilight and abyssal magic so that they may hopefully survive and pass their trials to become full-fledged Void Angels themselves.
Core Entities Registry
The foundational keys of the Black Fates keyset, cataloged by their entropic properties and stealth mechanics.
| Photo | Key / Name | Core Attribute / Element | Description & Tactical Lore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sef Pillar of Damnation |
Darkness / Shadow / Void | A towering, high-tier sovereign entity shared across major registers. Sef utilizes void-aligned manipulation to permanently bind corrupt souls. On the field, he locks target positions by writing their essence directly into localized gravity anchors, inflicting massive focus-drain. | |
| Balva The Black Vision |
Mind / Forced Visions | An invasive, non-combat psychological entity. Balva forcefully overrides the sensory channels of an opponent, flooding their mind with chaotic, overlapping precognitive nightmares of their own demise. This entirely paralyzes the target's physical movement loops and shatters active spell-chanting frequencies. | |
| Oloth The Guide |
Stealth / Planar Movement | A silent, drifting spectral tracker. Oloth functions as the supreme navigator of the set, shielding the party's physical signatures in absolute stealth and mapping safe path-lines through deadly terrain traps, spatial rifts, and hostile detection fields. | |
| Nostalla The Vampire |
Combat / Blood Magic | A fierce, predatory melee combat spirit who feeds on vital essence. Nostalla uses specialized blood magic vectors to siphon the physical stamina and mana reserves of targets upon impact, converting the stolen energy to minorly heal and replenish the Keyholder. | |
| Oncray The Concealer |
Obfuscation / Memory Wipe | A master of absolute information erasure. Oncray alters local history files and coordinates in real-time, completely wiping active events, projectile trajectories, or tactical setups from either the physical sight or short-term memory tracks of enemy divisions. | |
| Thampa The Thief |
Espionage / Spy | A tiny, low-drain phantom scout designed for absolute espionage. Thampa slips deep behind enemy defensive grids without tripping mana alerts, transmitting audio echoes and stealing minor tracking coordinates from the command focus of rival mages. | |
| Toltin The Black Revenge |
Heavy Melee / Infection | A massive, heavily armored vanguard titan representing absolute retribution. Toltin deals devastating close-quarters blunt force strikes, coating his armaments in virulent abyssal poisons and decay elements that inflict progressive physical and magical disease debuffs. |
Holy War Converted Teachers (Void Angels)
These ancient, elevated former mortal mages choose to manifest as direct tactical instructors within the keyset. Defying typical feathered angelic aesthetics, they possess sharp, batlike wings. They strictly do not use or unfurl these wings unless they are actively traversing the deep, empty voids between dimensions.
| Photo | Master Teacher | Angelic Classification | Description & Pedagogical Lore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sindri The Edge of Light |
Twilight Void Angel | A magnificent former mortal mage who rules the thin boundary between illumination and abyss. Bearing large batlike wings that remain tightly tucked away during standard manifestation, Sindri focuses entirely on training Shadowquips to perfectly fuse light and shadow parameters. His master instructions enable them to pierce conventional shields, though his wings only expand when riding cross-planar void currents. | |
| Ralkier The Shadow Tiger |
Void Angel Shifter | A lethal, predatory beast-shifter who was once a prominent mortal void caster. Ralkier can transition his physical matrix between a humanoid form with batlike wings and a massive phantom tiger. He directly trains Shadowquips in absolute reflex velocity, stalk lines, and ambush positions, keeping his wings strictly folded unless actively traversing planar voids. | |
| Yulla The Loving |
Void Angel | A deeply empathetic, maternal spirit who was once a mortal master of defensive void casting. Bearing distinct batlike wings, Yulla specializes in emotional stabilization and internal focus shielding. She acts as a vital protective buffer, training Shadowquips to preserve their sanity against the maddening whispers of the Abyssal Nexus so they can safely earn full angelic status. |
Mechanics & Entropic Governance
- The Pedagogical Symbiosis: When a converted Void Angel is manifested alongside active Shadowquip spirits on the battlefield, the baseline mana friction of the formation is minorly reduced. This reflects their specialized programming as master coaches who optimize the focus channels of their students.
- The Absolute Void Deficit: Because these spirits drain a continuous portion of the wielder's psychological capacity, prolonged deployment across extensive combat layouts without rest will induce a progressive state of emotional decay, temporarily locking out light-elemental casting options.
