Y'know, going up in space, visiting other worlds is supposed to blow your damn mind. The idea's that you're exposed to stuff so unreal, so beyond believin' that it's alien to you.

So why exactly are we celebratin' Christmas in space? Feels kinda weird, to be honest. But I guess capitalism and commercialism is a universal concept.

Still, though. Kinda gets me thinkin'. How do you celebrate your holidays where you're from? Don't tell me about Christmas though. We all know about Christmas.

Sure why not? Better to be safe and sorry.

This place don't have any info on your world at all?

[necroyalty]

The only sources of information the Moonblessed have on their own worlds is themselves.

Unless you've met anyone else from a planet called Nerthus, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here.

[scarcastically]

Yeah, I've only been to one planet only. This is my first time traveling this far.

[necroyalty]

I've traversed other planes before, but never until a few months ago had I ever been to the void of space.

The blueprints for the spelljamming devices used by the ancients have been lost to time, so it's still a work in progress for us to recover them.

The ancients?

[ of course there's a weirdly superior ancient race. of course. ]

[necroyalty]

Everything we've been able to uncover in my world points to our ancestors having technology similar to this world's. Communication devices you could fit in your pocket, the steel carriages you see in the streets. That sort of thing. They had only just mastered the art of interstellar travel before, well.

That was all lost in the calamity I told you about earlier. The Unchained Revelry, they call it. Or just the Revelry.

It's a popular theory that there may be descendants of the ancient space explorers, unaware of what happened on Nerthus, but so far we've no actual proof.

How did a calamity wipe out that much though?

[necroyalty]

Tharizdun was a god.

[ She comes from a setting where the gods literally exist and this is proven and they regularly grant people magical powers, okay. ]

And the god of entropy at that. Even when every other god in the universe combined their forces against him, all they could do was seal him away. Because entropy can never be stopped for good; the most you can do is buy time.

Easy to destroy one planet when the end of all creation is your very nature.

[scarcastically]

Yeah, that makes sense.

Did you ever get a reason why?

[necroyalty]

I wish any of us knew for sure.

The leading theory is that he simply looked upon what all of creation had become - what it had been, what it would be in all the future timelines - and thought it better to start from a clean slate.

[ REALLY FUCKING DEPRESSING to think about, but also likely. ]
