The Cipher Chapter 2: The Morning War

The Khalosa were prepared for the attack. Superior weapons and knowledge allowed for a seemingly complete victory. What they could never prepare for was what they thought was their greatest asset. Viccetor Acotal, their chief deity, had created a negative universe. Due to its artificial nature it was unstable and incomplete. Acotal intended this as the new world for his new people, but in order to complete it he must destroy the "Old World" universe. Soon, Namura learned of his scheme and created the Sigil Stones, Monoliths capable of teleportation. The Omega Stone was built last as a portal to the Hollow Realm. This was originally a last resort escape, but a Tertlam named Pangeru activated it and he was thrown into the Hollow Realm. His plates grew as hard as steel, and wings grew from his back. Upon returning to the Omega Stone, he was capable of telekinesis. Using his newly gained powers he drove Acotal into the center of the Hollow Realm: Morturax.
