Hey, Lesin. We're the Thousandfold! We were in Seilea's head before, I believe she mentioned us? You may have even heard us when you linked with her before. We were with Teteke before that, too.
Hmm, you weren't one of our designated hosts. I wonder how we got here? Well, for whatever reason, we're here to give you advice. Which means knowing what's going on. Last we heard, you were heading to Azni's. You meet up with her yet? And where'd Tacobird get off to?
Hmm. You guys don't even know the magnitude of the situation yet, do you. We had our chat with Th after we left. Okay, so here's the deal. You're familiar with the Golden Empire, right? Spread out, conquering universes, etc? Really liked that kaier stuff? Well, at some point, they found some creatures that had the stuff built into them. Decatur and Sserred, to be specific, but that's not really important. Well, the Empire's response to them was to basically enslave them, to harvest the Kaier. Needless to say, they weren't really happy about that. Neither were a notable portion of the Empire, for that matter. So they helped them escape, split off, and decided that The Golden Empire needed to be stopped. I'd probably have come up with the same conclusion (the odds we weren't actually responsible for that conclusion are non-zero, by the way). Well, so they started their own army and stuff with the purpose of destroying the Empire. They called it The Machine, if you hadn't figured that out yet.
Okay, so The Machine and the Empire are fighting a war across the multiverse. At some point, the Abstract Chaos comes into play. That's the stuff outside universes, which can apparently leak in people hop between them. But while that's serious concern, it's not really a pressing one at this point. What is, however, the world or Ter itself. The Empire, getting tired of this endless war, terraformed this place and created a quartet of species to maintain it or something. The cenesu, seltwil, umbrals, and craftkind. At some point, they abandoned Terea specifically, but they've still got an strong presence in their capital of Zenith, which is on Gilde, I think? Well, the point is, the planet's main purpose is setting up those nine conduit towers. They, together, form a weapon only known as "Resonance", which has enough destructive power to... do something. It's bad enough for the Machine to call in their strongest weapon to blow up the planet before evacuating even their own soldiers. ...Which, by the way, is happening. Yeah. Well, whatever it does, it also ends up using the life of everything on the planet to do it. Which is also really bad. And unfortunately, it's already on the way to being activated. Only two of the nine towers are on so far, though, which is at least something.
So, to recap, The Golden Empire has a super weapon that I can only imagine has at least enough power to destroy a universe, kills everything on the planet in the process, and in order to stop it, The Machine is going to fire a different superweapon at all of you. Oh, and every universe is slowly collapsing into the Abstract Chaos. And now we have to stop it all.
Doesn't sound that hard.
