Ultima

In-game Description

An otherworldly being that Clive encountered in the inner sanctum of Drake’s Head. He addressed Clive as “Mythos” before attempting to merge their consciousnesses. However, Clive was able to summon the will to resist the creature, before Joshua returned from the dead to imprison it in a cage of flame that he sealed away in his own heart.

Following the Destruction of Twinside

The otherworldly being behind much of the tragedy and turmoil that has plagued Valisthea. He means to claim Clive as his vessel, “Mythos,” by purging his will—a will strengthened by the ties of consciousness that bind Clive with others. He unleashes Primogenesis upon the world, shrouding it in darkness and turning thousands Akashic, that these ties of consciousness might at last be loosened.

Joshua’s Findings

The otherworldly being behind much of the tragedy and turmoil that has plagued Valisthea. Ultima requires a vessel in which to inculcate his disembodied soul, and Clive’s curious ability to absorb the powers of other Eikons suggests that he is the very “Mythos” that Ultima has long awaited. He wills Clive to absorb the other Eikons, that his vessel might be perfected.

To Whom Kings Kneel

The otherworldly being behind much of the tragedy and turmoil that has plagued Valisthea—and the creature King Barnabas of Waloed worships as his god. Ultima requires a vessel in which to inculcate his disembodied soul, and Clive’s curious ability to absorb the powers of other Eikons suggests that he is the very “Mythos” that Ultima has long awaited. He wills Clive to absorb the other Eikons, that his vessel might be perfected.

Within the Interdimensional Rift

One of a race of ancient, godlike beings. It was their creation of magic that led to the rise and spread of the Blight—the few survivors of their race fleeing to the unspoilt land of Valisthea to attempt to remake the world. For this, they created the Mothercrystals to harvest huge amounts of aether, and sowed the seeds of humanity, that it might one day produce a vessel strong enough to channel it. That the humans would one day develop wills of their own, they did not foresee.
