Appearance
Prism manifests as an infinite fractal of radiant light, ever-shifting and expanding into a vast network of symmetrical patterns. To mortals, Prism’s form is incomprehensible—a cascading array of luminescent shapes and geometric designs that expand infinitely, reflecting the interconnected nature of all things. When viewed from different angles, Prism seems to take on a new form, but always within a structure of perfect balance and symmetry. This ever-changing yet ordered appearance reflects Prism’s essence as the embodiment of Order and Symmetry.
Origin
Prism was born from the dream of Azhorra'tha, the Watcher in the Abyss. As Azhorra'tha slumbered, the Eldari emerged from its subconscious, and from its dream of fractals and interconnectedness, the vision of Prism was realized. Unlike the chaotic forces of its fellow Eldari, Prism's nature was one of structure and design, meant to bind the chaos of existence into something cohesive. It was from the vision of the stars, light, and matter in perfect balance that Prism took form.
Existence
As an Eldari, Prism existed in the midst of Primordial Pandemonium, an eternal clash of elemental forces born from Azhorra'tha’s dreaming mind. This realm of chaotic, unbound power was constantly shifting, but Prism, alongside Ael, sought to forge a path toward order and harmony. Prism's existence is one of eternal symmetry and balance, constantly working to keep the elements of the cosmos aligned in a vast, unknowable fractal pattern.
Prism now resides in the Plane of Prisms, an ordered realm of light and symmetry where its consciousness is eternally bound. This plane is a perfectly structured mechanism, designed to maintain balance within the Continuum Crystal Cosmology through what is known as the Riftways which bind planes together.
Powers and Abilities
Prism possesses unparalleled mastery over the forces of Order and Symmetry. Its primary ability is the capacity to bind and structure the chaotic elements of existence into ordered, interconnected patterns. Prism’s influence stretches across the realms, maintaining the Riftways—the pathways that connect all the planes of existence—ensuring that they remain in balance.
Prism’s ability to manipulate light and energy is also intrinsic to its nature. It can bend and refract the essence of reality, shaping matter, energy, and even time into perfect alignment. Its greatest power lies in its fractal vision, through which it perceives the universe in an infinite series of repeating, yet evolving, mathematical patterns. These patterns are what Prism uses to keep the universe from spiraling back into chaos.
Connections
- Ael: Prism’s closest ally, with whom it conspired to bring order to the chaos of existence. Together, they crafted the Continuum Crystal Cosmology, the ordered structure of the universe.
- Azhorra'tha: The Watcher in the Abyss, whose dream gave birth to Prism and the other Eldari. Though Prism was born of Azhorra'tha’s subconscious, it worked to deceive the Watcher by creating an illusion of order within the chaotic abyss.
- ">Symetrius]: The Primus God of Order and the custodian of Prism’s legacy. Symetrius governs the Plane of Prisms and ensures the continued balance of the Riftways.
- The Riftways: The cosmic pathways that Prism created to connect all realms. These Riftways are essential to maintaining balance in the universe and are key to Prism’s ongoing influence across the planes.
Legacy and Legends
Prism's greatest legacy is the creation of the Continuum Crystal Cosmology. This vast, interconnected system of planes was designed by Prism and forged by Ael during the Solis Singularity, a cosmic event that brought order to the chaotic universe. Prism's vision ensured that all realms were bound by symmetry and that the cosmic balance would be preserved.
The legends surrounding Prism are few, as its nature is elusive and beyond mortal understanding. However, it is said that those who meditate deeply on the mysteries of the universe may catch fleeting glimpses of Prism’s fractal form in the patterns of the stars or in the delicate symmetry of nature.
Prism’s influence remains strong through the Riftways, which are essential to the stability of the cosmos. Without Prism’s guidance, the realms would fracture, and chaos would once again reign supreme.
Destruction
Like the other Eldari, Prism could not be destroyed in the traditional sense. Its essence was transmuted into the Plane of Prisms during the Solis Singularity, where it continues to exist in a perpetual state of balance and order. While its form is no longer present in its primordial form, its influence endures throughout the universe. Prism’s eternal task is to maintain the Riftways and the delicate order of the cosmos, ensuring that the balance of creation holds firm.
Though Prism no longer exists as a conscious being in the mortal sense, it lives on as the force that keeps the universe from unraveling.
