Infection is
a destructive process in the world of Archaea, caused by a skin (a special substance/energy), which, under the influence of Tadmauriel (the Father), becomes distorted and destructive. Infected creatures are called incarnate.

How Infection Works and Its Effects
Source and Spread. A Twisted Skin spreads like a plague. Initially, Tadmauriel began to change the nature of the skint, and later his followers (including the Church of Purification) actively contributed to the spread of the infection, considering it a blessing. The elves, who understood the nature of the skint better than most, refused to accept it and tried to resist, and were persecuted and nearly exterminated.
Transformation into incarnate. The infected lose their former identity and become aggressive monsters subject to the will of the Father. They may exhibit unnatural abilities as well as physical changes (such as glowing eyes). Upon death, some infected do not die completely, but disincarnate - their essence goes into another state from which they can return.
Impact on the world. Due to the infection, the Archaeus is plunged into eternal twilight, the landscape is distorted, and crystals of the distorted skin appear. The world literally "dies" and degrades under the influence of this force.
Special cases of infection. There are more complex examples in the plot. For example, the elf Egrassel tried to save his father Tadmauriel from infection, but he, on the contrary, began to absorb his son's power like a parasite. As a result, Egrassel was forced to seal himself with his father, and his entourage was ordered to create a veil over Archaeus to prevent the spread of the infection to other worlds.
Key elements and terms of
Skin. The basis of the entire system: it is a resource, energy, and part of the world order of the Archean. In its pure form, it is neutral or useful, but a distorted skin is an infection agent.
Church of Purification. An organization that promoted infection as a "purification" and helped Thadmavriel subjugate the world.

Void magic. One of the rare powers.

"Purification" is not about cleansing in a positive sense, but about the large-scale destructive plan of the Church of Purification. His goal is to infect the entire world of Archaea with a twisted skint and free the "Father" (Tadmavriel). According to the cult, this was supposed to lead to a "renewal" of the world: the old structure of reality would collapse, the veil over Archeus would fall, and a new era under the Father's rule would begin.

How the "purification"
took placeThe spread of the distorted skint. A distorted skin is a special substance that changed the inhabitants of the world, subordinating them to the will of the Father. The Church sought to infect as many people as possible with it.
Indoctrination. The Church of Purification formed dogmas, rewrote history, and convinced followers that infection was a blessing and the only way to salvation.
Political and power pressure. The Church was not only a religion, but also the main authority in Archea, so it used its influence to suppress dissenters and promote the plan.
Ritual and large-scale actions. The plan involved events that would affect the whole world, not individuals: the fall of the veil, the change in the very fabric of Archaean reality.

What kind of church
is it This is not a traditional church, but an influential religious organization and in fact the ruling force in the world of Archaeus. Her cult is centered around the figure of the "Father" Tadmauriel, and she promotes the idea of the "Great Purification" through the spread of the distorted skint.

How the church
looks and is arranged, Architecture and atmosphere. The temples of the Church of Purification are imposing, somber and monumental, they emphasize the power and rigor of the organization. An atmosphere of depression and control reigns in them.
Sacred objects and symbolism. The most important object for the Church is the special book of Tadmauriel. It is considered sacred, and its content is a distorted version of the story of the Archean, where all the credit for the development of the world is attributed to the Father and the skint.
The role of the skin in decoration. Since the cult worships skint, this material is actively used in the design of temples. It serves not only as a source of light, but also as a symbol of the "good" that the Church seeks to bring to the world.

Ashhold is the capital of one of the worlds in the Heart of the Universe season (Lore Lololoshka).

What was the city
Status and fate. Ashhold was a major ancient city and political center, but by the key events of the season, it was destroyed as a result of a coordinated attack by the incarnates.
Atmosphere and appearance. A tense, gloomy atmosphere reigned in the city. In the center there was a non-working fountain - drops used to be counted on it, and it served as a kind of city landmark. The architecture combined the features of the developed Middle Ages, and the general condition of the city by the time of the fall was neglected.
Population and attitude towards strangers. Ashhold was inhabited by humans, orcs, dwarves, and anthropomorphic crows. The locals were unfriendly. Most of the population sincerely believed in the Church of Purification and despised those who opposed it, especially the hunters.
Power and Religion. The city was closely associated with the Church of Purification: religious institutions had a great influence on the authorities. For example, one of Ashhold's influential figures was Bishop Lucius, a faithful follower of "the Father" and a conductor of his will.

Mechanism of action against infection
Infection, penetrating into the essence of a being, distorts its inner harmony, breaking the connection with the natural rhythms of existence. Fairy dust acts as a conductor of the primordial order:

Resonance Restoration. Dust particles tune in to the true frequency of the body, gently displacing the alien vibrations of infection.
Sealing of breaks. Microscopic sparks of dust temporarily "stitch together" the damaged energy channels, preventing the infection from spreading further.
Activation of internal resources. Dust awakens the hidden reserves of the body and spirit, helping the body to complete the healing process itself.
Upon contact with the infection, the dust begins to glow brighter, and its color changes: the golden hue darkens to amber if the lesion is severe, or remains light if the infection has just begun to spread. At the climax of healing, the particles flare up and dissolve, as if returning to their cosmic source.

Method of application
Dust is used for treatment in several ways, depending on the severity of the infection:

Mild infection. It is enough to inhale a thin stream of dust or allow it to settle on the skin in the heart area – it will find its way to the focus of distortion on its own.
Severe infestation. The dust is mixed with a drop of pure dew, collected at dawn, and applied to the energy centers of the body. The mixture begins to pulse gently, drawing out the darkness from within.
Critical contamination. The patient is enveloped in a cloud of dust, creating a cocoon of light around him. In this state, a person goes into a deep trance, where his consciousness meets the echoes of the Heart of the Universe, and the dust works at the deepest levels of being.
Side effects and limitations
Temporary sensitivity. After healing, a person perceives light, sounds, and emotions more acutely for several days — as if all the senses have become more transparent.
Energy fatigue. The recovery process requires huge internal resources, so after treatment, rest and nourishment saturated with vital energy are necessary

Provided a safe haven for the Archeans. After the fall of the regime, Archea became dangerous, and Jon gave the Archeans access to his sleepy world (a fragment of it remained forever in Archea and was called Somnos). Thus, residents had a safe area where they could live without being exposed to the previous threats. Movement there was regulated through a guiding skin, and not everyone had access: only specially trained warriors could return to Archaea to fight the infected.
He contributed to the containment of infection and the protection of different races. For a long time, infection spread in Archea (associated with the experiments of Thadmauriel and the distorted skint), due to which entire peoples died (for example, almost all elves) and infected creatures appeared. Lololoshka's actions helped stop the spread of this threat and gave the survivors a chance to recover.

And in addition, Lololoshka did a lot of things for creatures. Many respect and treat Law normally, but do not show it

What is this world
Archaeus is one of the oldest worlds in Reality 993, closely related to the origin of the Planeswalkers and the Spark. Previously, it was isolated and could only be accessed through an ancient ritual, and it was impossible to get out at all because of the protective Veil. It was created to prevent the distorted skin from spreading across the multiverse.

Key Features and Atmosphere
Infestation and Distortion. The world is struck by a strange infection associated with Tadmauriel (the Father). Because of this, an atmosphere of decline, eternal twilight and decay reigns in the Archean. Nature and even memories are distorted, giving rise to terrible images.
"Breath of Death". When Lololoshka is in the world, it is affected by Death's Breath. Fog penetrates the spacesuit and makes the hero see hallucinations: the brain turns concentrated memories into monsters and ghostly images.
Dangerous weather phenomena. In Archea, there are thunderstorms where lightning is attracted to the spacesuit (they can charge it, but severely injure Lololoshka), and dust storms that clog filters and sensors.
Races and society
Before the catastrophe, Archaea was an advanced world where different races coexisted and specialized in their fields:

Humans were engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding.
Dwarves - worked with minerals and stone.
Elves excelled in science, but were later almost completely exterminated during war and persecution.
Anthropomorphic birds (crows, owls, hawks) were engaged in hunting. Owls and hawks are extinct.
Orcs and gnolls led a simpler lifestyle, often taking on day labor.
In the era of infection, power in the world actually passed to the Church of Purification, which served Thadmavriel.

Important locations and elements of Somnos
lore. A fragment of John's "dream world" that has remained in Archea forever. In the Calm Era, it was the only relatively safe place for the Archeans.
The beginning. In the Archea was the Beginning, the interworlder who created the Spark and spread across the multiverse.
Guiding skin. With its help, specially trained warriors could move around the terrain

Appearance
Lololoshka is a tall guy (about

190,190 cm) with pale skin and brown eyes. He has light brown short-cropped hair, and his bangs are slightly tilted to the left.

Its recognizable image is made up of details:

white headphones with black ear pads and blue accents;
blue decorative glasses with black lenses - you can't see the eyes through them;
a white hoodie with a pale blue tint, black stripes on the sleeves and black laces;
a scarf in black and blue checks;
black pants with blue hanging suspenders;
blue sneakers with white soles.

Among his key abilities and tools in the season:

The Orb of Desires is an important artifact related to the plot of the season.
Spark Energy Transfer - Lololoshka can use it to purify the infected and the infected skin.
Creating Skin Crystals - Uses the energy of the Spark to form them.
Ultra-fast running.
Detachment from Time - Grants immunity to dangerous environments after the end of Time and the ability to travel through space-time (but not between different multiverses).
Your own pocket dimension - to get there, you need to say the word "Prunus", and to return - "Malus".

What changes in appearance during its infection:

Infested skint crystals. They literally sprout on the body: on the head, shoulders, torso. Crystals on the right shoulder, back of the left elbow, two on the abdomen, and one on the chest are specifically mentioned. Skin is a special substance from the Lololoshka universe, and the "infected" variant appeared due to the effects of the blood of Tadmauriel (Father).
Eye color. Instead of brown, the eyes become purple.
Clothes. Hoodie unbuttoned. Otherwise, the basic set (hoodie with a pale blue tint, black stripes on the sleeves, black laces, a black and blue plaid scarf, black pants with blue suspenders, blue sneakers with white soles) is preserved, but the overall appearance looks more chaotic and threatening due to the crystals and unbuttoned clothes.
Facial expression. Most often gloomy.

Appearance

Characteristic outfit. He wears a massive white priest's hat with gold details and the symbol of the Church, as well as a white cassock with gold accents.
No signs of infection. Unlike the other incarnates, Lucius does not have the growths of an infected skint, and is almost indistinguishable from a normal human in appearance, the only thing that stands out is his complete lack of aging.
Character and role in the
plot Duality of nature. In appearance, Lucius is a good-natured and sympathetic priest, ready to help parishioners, but in fact he is cunning, cunning and knows how to pretend to achieve his goals. Even strong and powerful people are afraid of him: for example, the local inquisitor trembles at his words about "dismissal".
Fanatical loyalty. Over the millennia, his consciousness has become so distorted that he sincerely believes in the goodness of the "Father" and in the need for a Great Cleansing for the entire multiverse. Even after disincarnation, his faithfulness does not weaken.
Political influence. Lucius is a former influential figure in Ashhold, a diplomat between humans and elves, closely associated with the extermination of the elves (including the murder of Cyrissa's parents).

Who is
she Vienne - a woman from the survivor camp in the world of Archaeus, Livia's mother.

Role in the
plot Conflict around Libya. In the camp, there was a practice of eliminating those who could become incarnate, so as not to put others at risk. Vienne resisted this, not wanting to lose the child.

Hair: dark, rather short, often combed back or gathered in a small ponytail.

Balsmeg's
appearance looks exhausted and emaciated. He has deep wounds on his head, and his right fang is missing, likely due to the self-torture caused by the curse. He wears tattered, short clothes and bracers on his arms.

Character and behavior
Initially, Balsmega's mind was clouded due to the curse: he suffered from paranoia, an obsession with his own guilt and a desire to harm himself. He often spoke incoherently, used words incorrectly (e.g., "speculate" instead of "speculate"), and behaved unpredictably.

After being transferred to Lololoshka's Sleepy Dimension, the curse eased, and Balsmeg became more sane, although he retained his innocence and emotionality. He openly expresses feelings, even if it is inappropriate. He is characterized by low intelligence, greed, and distrust of non-orcs: he believes that he is disliked and considered stupid due to racial prejudice. He has unrequited feelings for the orc Sadyk.

Background and role in the
plot Balsmeg used to be an experienced blacksmith and hunter. He went after the Bronze Owl at the request of the Church, which promised him a lot of sparks (local currency). As soon as he touched the artifact, the curse activated and distorted his consciousness. Balsmeg tried to sell an owl to ensure a comfortable life for himself. He was a member of the underground organization of Saiman and Sadiqa, but was expelled from there for theft committed under the influence of a curse.

In the Dream Dimension, he occupied the forge that had previously belonged to Mark, and carried out orders for the repair of weapons and armor, although he did not have much interest in the craft. Balsmeg participated in the final battle against the Father in Gahledol along with the other allies, and ended up living in the Dream Dimension as part of the community of survivors.

Clothing: Simple, worn-out, typical of Archean survivors - rough fabrics, minimal jewelry, everything is functional and shabby from the constant struggle for life.
The general impression is that the image of Libya is built in such a way as to evoke sympathy: she is one of the symbols of how the catastrophe breaks the fate of the most defenseless.
A girl from the survivor camp in the world of Archaeus. Libya lives among people who are trying to survive in harsh and dangerous conditions.
She was infected. She was bitten by an infected rat, which caused Livia to begin to incarnate (in the lore of the season, "incarnation" is a dangerous transformation that threatens to lose her humanity). Because of the threat, they were going to kill her, but this did not happen.

At
the beginning of the story, Sorven appears as a tough, dogmatic and intolerant character of dissent: religious views were imposed on him from childhood, and he sincerely believed in the rightness of the Church. He was ruthless to those whom the Church considered a threat, and did not accept any arguments against established dogma.

After the events in Ashhold and his stay in the survivors' camp, Sorven gradually reconsiders his views, becomes more open, and eventually even regains the trust of the people, becoming their leader.

Origin and role
Tadmauriel is an elf planeswalker over two million years old. He is the creator of the Infected Skin and the founder of the Church of Purification. Initially, he was perceived by the inhabitants of Archea as a benefactor who brought a skin, but later his deeds led to a loss of trust.

Appearance
Initially, Tadmavriel looked like a typical elf: tall, with long pointed ears, thin arms, gray hair, and pale green eyes. He dressed in a pale green raincoat or robe, brown pants and boots.

After the infection, his appearance began to change: his eyes glowed purple, his body was covered in an infected skin, and his left hand turned into a clawed paw. Later, he learned to control the skin, removing it from his chest, leaving crystals on his shoulders and around his right eye, and wearing a purple cloak over his former clothes. After losing strength, the crystals disappeared, leaving only the purple color of the eyes.

Personality
: Before the death of his wife Teirassa, Tadmavriel was a wise and useful elf for Archeus. After her death, he became reserved and strict, especially towards his son Egrassel, whom he considered a burden. Under the influence of infection, Tadmavriel became cruel, domineering and obsessed with research: he put science above his family and betrayed his loved ones, including repeatedly taking away his son's vitality.

At the same time, he has a peculiar code of honor: for example, he allowed opponents to speak before attacking. In periods of loneliness, Tadmavriel became softer, but his craving for experimentation and power invariably prevailed.

Abilities
Create and control a skin. Not only did he create an infested skin, but he could also control infested creatures as well as create an antiskin.
Energy absorption. Tadmauriel fed off the power of the infected, and also regularly drained his son's life force.
Immortality. Thanks to the blood of the Principle in his veins, he is virtually not subject to death - he can die only if he wants to.
Foresight. Using skin, he is able to see the future.

Appearance
: thick dark beard and noticeable facial hair;
brown eyes, one eye sees almost nothing;
wears a hat and a brown cape;
there are tattoo-like patterns on the arms.
Berengarius is
a good-natured, charismatic and very friendly alchemist with a slightly outdated manner of speech (for example, he likes to say "evo like"). He is sociable, optimistic (sometimes to the point of absurdity) and simple-minded, but at the same time cunning and intelligent. Berengarius is not inclined to take word for it: he trusts only what he has seen himself, and is often skeptical of other people's words. At the same time, he is not afraid to take risks - because of excessive bravery, he was even sentenced to death.

Abilities and Occupations
Alchemy. Berengarius considers himself a master of this craft and is well versed in Archaean herbs. He creates various potions and brews: for example, elf brew (with elven blood), potions of transformation (short-term), decoction for erasing memory, means for sleeping.
Teleportation. He can teleport.
Cooking. He especially loves to cook fly agaric soup and willingly offers it to everyone he meets.
Role in the story
: Berengarius lived in Ashhold and worked with the Church of Purification, making potions for them, with the help of which gnolls were turned into humans in order to discreetly transmit notes. At the same time, he sold potions to other peoples (for example, orcs), which caused him problems with the Church. As a result, the inquisitor sentenced him to be burned.

Lololoshka met Berengarius when he was looking for a nurse for Alfred. A conversation ensued between them, and in the end, Lololoshka rescued the alchemist and transported him to the Sleeping Dimension.

Interesting Facts
He is convinced that if someone is caught using his potions, it is not his fault: he makes a contract with everyone, and the one who spilled the beans and suffered broke this contract.
He knows the ancient secrets of alchemy, which were used back in the days when elves lived in Archea.

Nevers' appearance
is an anthropomorphic raven (walravn). It looks like a large raven with human features: it has clawed paws instead of legs, and wings function as hands, thanks to which it can fly. He usually wears a beige cape with a hood. During the period of infection with the skint, he became a huge crow: a cluster of skint grew on his back, and his eyes became completely black; a few red feathers stood out on his head. Another characteristic detail: Never is clumsy and has difficulty pronouncing Lololo's name, often calling him "Rororowk".

Personality
This is an old, grumpy and sometimes arrogant raven. He dislikes almost everyone, especially people - he considers them guilty of the death of his tribe. For a long time, Never was depressed: he blamed himself for surviving when all his relatives died, and he felt "unworthy". Because of this, he slept a lot and was irritated if he was woken up. He had suicidal thoughts, but in fact he was not ready to die.

Over time, Never began to change: towards the end of the season, he began to appreciate life more, established relationships with children, took up education and even became interested in gardening.

History
Once upon a time, Nevers lived with his tribe of ravens in the lowlands. People who needed space flooded the area, killing many ravens. Later, Nevers contracted skin disease: it distorted his mind, and he, out of control of himself, killed everyone who had a soul, including his wife and children.

After defeating him when he was infected, Lololoshka heals Nevers, and he reverts to his humanoid raven form. Together they go to the Sleepy World. There, Never gradually remembers everything he did in a state of infection, and takes these memories hard.
