# Lore ## 👁 The Old Ones #### Long before the known dimensions, before the rise and fall of empires across the multiverse, there were the **Old Ones** — primordial beings said to have created the fabric of the Multiverse itself. Nothing concrete is known about them; not their shape, purpose, nor fate. The only surviving references to their existence are scattered across ancient **Vetirent Archives** — cryptic symbols and tales etched into forgotten ruins, left behind by those who tried to understand them. Today, **the Old Ones remain the deepest mystery** in Reality of Madness. Their influence lingers like a shadow over the multiverse, hinting at powers and truths far beyond comprehension — and perhaps, still active.
## The Vetirent The **Vetirents** were the most advanced civilization in the known multiverse. It is crucial to remember that *“known”* refers only to what **they** explored and documented — meaning we cannot confirm whether even greater forces existed beyond their reach. As the only race capable of cataloguing thousands of dimensions, building interdimensional technology, and developing **Villintirius** (the multiverse’s eye and dimensional door), they became the guardians of multiversal balance. Their archives tell of **9,685 unique dimensions** known to them. Yet all of this knowledge could not prevent what was to come. ## The Great Release The **Great Release** was the cataclysmic chain of events that shattered the known multiverse and led to the **extinction of the Vetirents**. Dimensional portals destabilized, timelines collapsed into one another, and chaos infected every reality. At the center of it all was **Villintirius**, the heart of Vetirent technology — once a secure and controlled dimensional gate, now corrupted. What was once the eye of order became the mouth of madness. > 🌀 **Before:** A stable gate to all known dimensions.\ > 🔥 **After:** A broken eye that cracked open the very walls of reality. ### Vetirent dimensional door: Villintirius, the multiverse eye The door before:
The door after:
#### ⚠️ The Fall of the Multiverse With the Vetirents gone, **no one was left to restore the system**. Villintirius' fail-safe mechanisms crumbled. Entire dimensions began invading one another. Chaos reigned. The multiverse is now on the brink of total collapse — fractured, lawless, and without its ancient protectors. Everything has changed.\ Nothing is certain.\ And the **Madness** has only begun. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
