Corpus of the Abyss Rebellion

深淵なる軀の謀反計画

World & HistoryBattles & Events

Vol. 15 interlude (sometime in Years 3–5 after the transfer; exact time unknown): inner-circle members of the "Corpus of the Abyss," a society of undead magic casters dominated by a mysterious powerhouse called "That One," met in secret to plot a rebellion.

  • The Corpus of the Abyss is a loose society formed to keep undead magic casters from fighting over knowledge; at first it had only 4 Night Liches and 3 Elder Liches, and nearly 400 years later its inner circle had grown to 9.
  • By the Vol. 15 interlude, the organization was dominated by "That One," a being of overwhelming power who calls tiered magic "filthy" yet exploits the Corpus of the Abyss's research.
  • One reason the inner circle outwardly obeyed was that they thought That One could serve as a deterrent against this world's strongest beings; however, they judged that That One intended to use the organization to stir up turmoil in the center of the continent.
  • The inner circle decided that the Corpus of the Abyss was not a force to be lent out for "the pact of those ones," so they plotted rebellion and prepared to build a "deterrent" against That One.
  • "The Abyss" Banezeri Anchas teleported twice in a row to arrive first at the mountain castle of inner-circle member "Crimson-Eyed Duke" Krunui Log Entesh Na, and proposed that they talk once "Saintess of White" Granz Locker arrived.
  • Granz was the first Night Lich to reach 8th tier; as of Vol. 15 she was aiming for 9th tier and was favored by That One.
  • As of Vol. 16, the rebellion has not been put into action, and its outcome is unknown (unverified).

Notes

Sources speculate that the "secret society" the Undead King Davernoch never managed to find is the Corpus of the Abyss. Inner-circle epithets revealed in Vol. 15: "The Abyss," "Saintess of White," "Death Rider," "King of Decay," "Crimson-Eyed Duke," "Wise Wolf," "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies," "Devourer," and "Revenant of Yellow."
