BIOGRAPHY
FROM THE SPEAR
Born from the Spear of Space, The All Father was one of the first beings in the universe. Originally named Nox, he later changed his name to The All Father after he used the Spear of Space to create life across the stars.
THE CREATOR
After The All Father was created, he traveled the young universe. He floated amongst the stars for eons, wondering what he could do with the Spear of Space. He used the Spear to create a planet that later became his home world, the Black Palace. From there, he used the Spear of Space to create more planets.
He used the Spear of Space to create Ovaseryn, which became home to the Spear Energy potent Ovaseryns. After he created the planet Fargulk, which became the home world of the Fargulkian giants. Later came the planet Di, the desolate swamp world with reptilian inhabitants.
After The All Father created Di, he used the Spear of Space to create Itarus. From Itarus was born the Itarians, blue-skinned red-eyed beings who would later form the Itarian Empire. The All Father was perfecting his creations, leading him to use the Spear to create Aoweii.
Aoweii was the sixth and final planet created by The All Father and the Spear of Space. Aoweii became home to the Elves of Aoweii. The elves roamed their home world, forming into 12 separate clans.
As The All Father created his six original planets, the universe began to spawn life on its own. More planets began to take shape, forging life and spawning a new race, man. The All Father traveled amongst the known worlds of the universe, being worshipped as a God.
THE ACCURSED
When The All Father used the Spear of Space to create his home world, the Black Palace, he wanted to see what else he could do. The idea of creating organisms, life forms that resembled him, danced in his mind. He extended the Spear into the darkness of the universe and with the power of Spear Energy, birthed his first creation.
The beings were light, filled with pure Spear Energy.They glowed brightly and illuminated the darkness of space, radiating energy beyond belief. The All Father was filled with joy that he was able to use the Spear to create life. The first creations followed The All Father across the stars as he created Ovaseryn, Fargulk, Di, Itarus, and Aoweii. They watched as The Al Father fell more in love with his new creations, and were happy to see their creator rejoice in his achievements. When The All Father was done, he gave his first creations their own world. He left them there to roam their planet and build a life for themselves.
But this slowly began to bother his first creation. They felt abandoned by The All Father. As The All Father roamed the other known worlds being worshipped as a God, his first creation became malignant. They began to fight with each other, filling with rage. Their light shifted as their Spear Energy changed to a charred purple, making them become The Accursed.
The Accursed then dug to the core of their home world, attracted to the Spear Energy in the center of the planet. They consumed it, causing the planet to explode. They tore through space, going from world to world, devouring planet after planet. The All Father was made aware of this and sought out help from Zaman to help him. Zaman refused, reminding The All Father of his paramount rule. This made The All Father seek out assistance from the Ovaseryns.
With the Ovaseryns, The All Father battled The Accursed. Many of the Ovaseryns died helping The All Father, forcing him to do something he never attempted. The All Father channeled all his energy into the Spear of Space, opening a portal. The portal was made out of pure Spear Energy, attracting The Accursed to it. As soon as all of The Accursed were inside, The All Father closed it, trapping them inside.
Many of the Ovaseryns argued with The All Father afterwards, asking him why he didn't destroy them. He left without answering, returning to the Black Palace weakened by exerting so much energy. The All Father sat on his throne and fell into a long slumber, which became known as The Long Sleep.
THE LONG SLEEP
With The Accursed being locked away, and The All Father using so much energy to stop them, he fell into what became known as The Long Sleep.
The Long Sleep is a period within The Old Universe lasting over Eight Cycles (800,000 years). The All Father rested and recuperated his strength during this time, resorting to him falling into myth and legend. His name became synonymous with power and folklore, with generations of people beginning to believe he never existed.
The most notable event during The Long Sleep was the rise of the Itarian Empire. The Itarians discovered space travel and began to conquer the known worlds, building a powerful dynasty that lasted for Four Cycles (400,000 years). Other major events during The Long Sleep were Doren's Rebellion, King Agatheio's war against the Itarians, Alco the Black's assault on Wan-Ri, Ehdysio's journey across Yres, and many more.
Toward the start of the Ninth Cycle, The All Father woke up, bringing with him a vision of reconquest.
AFTER THE LONG SLEEP AND MEETING HELENA
In 800,015 ATLS C9 (After The Long Sleep, Cycle 9) The All Father woke up. The Itarian empire was in decline, and tensions were brewing across the cosmos. Many of the conquered planets were gearing up for open war against the Itarians, tired of their dominance and cruelty.
​
The All Father woke up from The Long Sleep expecting to be worshipped still and remembered. What he came across was a universe that knew nothing of him, and the only mention of his name was linked to myths and legends. This bewildered him. He traveled the known worlds in disguise, watching from the shadows how his creations lived. He saw them live and grow, have families, raise children, and die. He became obsessed with the idea of falling in love, having a child, and starting a family of his own.
​
As he continued to travel the known worlds, he arrived on the water world of Yres. The pristine blue planet was beautiful. He walked amongst the planet's people, captivated by their calm life and sea-barring culture. It was on Yres where he met, Helena.
​
The All Father and Helena became acquainted quickly, lusting over each other for weeks. After feeling comfortable enough, The All Father revealed himself to her. He extended his hand to the sky calling for the Spear of Space. His disguise shattered and he towered above Helena, wielding the Spear.
The All Father took Helena across the stars and showed her the known worlds. They visited many planets and on Nyla, he told her about his plan to reveal himself once again. He told her how he wanted to be loved and worshipped again by his creations. Helena listened to him but told him that he didn't need to be loved and worshipped as a God. She told him that they will start a family, they will have a child, and that would be enough. The All Father agreed with her and set aside his vision of reconquest.
In 800,025 ATLS C9 The All Father brought Helena to the Black Palace. Within that same year, she became pregnant and bore a son. Corrin was born to The All Father and Helena in 800,025.
Tragically, Helena died during childbirth, leaving The All Father with a void that he was never able to fill. For the first time in his existence, he felt pain, anger, sadness, and despair. He couldn't fathom all those feelings hitting him at once. The love of his life was gone. He tried using the Spear of Space to resurrect her, but it didn't work. Time delivers what must be done. Space delivers what can be done.
The All Father stayed in solitude for months after Helena's death, deciding what to do. Finally, he channeled his pain and anger into what he considered a divine purpose: The Reconquest of the Universe.
​
THE BLACK PALACE RECONQUEST YEARS
After the death of Helena and the birth of Corrin, The All Father executed his plan to retake the universe. It started with an assault on Itarus, the home-world of the Itarian Empire. Emperor Forzan was assassinated and his wife and daughter were taken as political hostages by The All Father. Fargulkian slaves flocked to The All Father, seeing him as a liberator. The former slaves were the first soldiers in what became the Black Palace Military, named after The All Fathers' home-world.
As the Black Palace began to spread, Itarian Military outposts were raided, and the empire's holdings across the universe were confiscated. Itarian generals and military leadership were given the option to join The All Father and lead his armies. Those who refused were executed, and others fled into hiding. By the start of 800,026, a full-fledged campaign to reconquer the known worlds began.
The Reconquest sparked a civil war on Aoweii. Some of the Elves considered The All Father their one true God and leader, while others did not. As the civil war raged on, The All Father led an invasion into the planet Myero. Myeran engineers and scientists were forced to build state-of-the-art carrier ships, weapons, and armor for the Black Palace Military. Mining on the planet Hanroh was taken over by the Black Palace, with the resource Ironium implemented into Black Palace armor, tech, and weapons. Toward the end on 800,026 the Aoweiinian civil war ended, with the elves who believed in The All Father relocating to the moon Xarvem.
Around the same time SPECTER, an elite unit with the Black Palace was formed. They were responsible for hunting down any remaining Itarian loyalists. The unit comprised of talented Spear Energy users and became the blueprint for Spearhead many years later. As SPECTER did its duties, more planets began to submit to the Black Palace. Some refused.
Fargulkian slaves tried to convince their brethren on Fargulk to submit to The All Father, but they refused. King Domoryn cited years of Itarian dominance as his reason. This started the conquest of Fargulk. After a few months of the war, King Domoryn finally submitted to The All Father. Months later, Domoryn was deposed of and fled into hiding. One of Domoryn's most respected Generals, Scibro, took his men and went deep into Fargulk's mountainous terrain.
The attack on Fargulk and removal of Domoryn from power sent a shockwave across the universe. More planets began to submit to The All Father willingly, fearful of what might happen if they refused. The Prime Minister of Kaasiar fled when the Black Palace arrived, fearing for his life, forcing General Dalire to take his men into hiding as General Scibro did on Fargulk. The planet Halvodon refused to submit when the Black Palace arrived, prompting The All Father to force the submission himself. Using the Spear of Space, he laid waste to the planet, massacring most of the population. This event made the rest of the worlds fall in line one by one.
By 800,030 forced conscription into the Black Palace Military began. The All Father, advised by his generals, decreed to have every planet provide soldiers to the palace. Other mandates were put into effect as well such as limiting Itarians from holding public office, controlling travel to and from different planets, and overseeing planetary elections. In 800,031 Black Palace mandate permitted Rashalon to hold Viceroy elections, overseen by Black Palace officials.
For almost a decade, the Black Palace maintained control over the known worlds. In 800,040 Fargulk rebelled, leading to a bloody battle. In 800,041 Pugart followed with their own rebellion. Both were put down quickly, but started a series of rebellions across the universe. Around this time, Corrin had finished his training and began to lead Spearhead in putting down any calls for action against the Black Palace.
For the next 10 years, Corrin spent his time as a herald to The All Father. Rebellions against the Black Palace were put down by Corrin's hand and by 800,051 the reconquest was over. Every planet was under the banner of the Black Palace, with The All Father as their leader, their God.
​
THE DIVISION AND WAR FOR THE UNIVERSE
When the reconquest was completed, The All Father still wanted more. 12 years went by of peace, an era that became known as The 12 Good Years. During this time, Corrin stepped away from the Black Palace and built a life on the planet Arcadia. In the shadows of the Black Palace, The All Father forged his next plan.
In the summer of 800,063 The All Father invited Corrin to the Black Palace to discuss an invasion plan. New worlds were discovered in the depths of space, and The All Father wanted to conquer them. Corrin was on board at first, agreeing with his father to lead an introductory mission. The plan was to allow the planets to submit willingly, and if they didn't, let them be.
The All Father lied to his son. An invasion force was already sent before their meeting, resulting in a massacre. Corrin found out about this and confronted The All Father. The All Father was taken aback that his son would dare question his decisions. This led to The Division.
Corrin threatened The All Father with retaliation if the invasion of the new worlds proceeded. The All Father didn't believe his son and ordered the invasion to commence the next day. Corrin and his group of Warrior Priests intercepted the Black Palace Fleet, sparking the Battle of the New Worlds. This was the first battle of the War for the Universe.
Many planets sided with Corrin, while others stayed loyal to The All Father. The war against his own son introduced something new to The All Father he had never experience: betrayal. The All Father felt betrayed by Corrin and those he considered he had saved from the Itarians. The weight of the war consumed The All Father, forcing him to find refugee in the Spear of Space. He became erratic as the war continued, executing his own generals and unleashing The Accursed.
