The Entropy

The Entropy (tr. સડો Saḍō, cm. Decay) is an enigmatic cosmic phenomenon that brings destruction on an unimaginable scale. Its true nature and origin are unknown as it exists outside of the scope of mortal comprehension. Wherever the Entropy falls upon, the very fabric of space is shattered and reduced to a state of a primordial chaos - reality and time ceases to exist in such places. It is unknown whether it's possible to revert this damage.

Currently, most of the known universe have been consumed by the Entropy - only the Great Abyssal Tree remains relatively intact as the Infrastructure of the Celestial Machine provides the isolation from the destructive effects of this phenomenon.

Many attempts have been made to study the Entropy, but one is yet to yield any tangible results; as the mortal technology within the Great Abyssal Tree is a product of the material universe, it proves utterly useless when interacting with the unreality left behind by the Entropy's wake. It is theorized that reverse-engineering the Machine might grant insight into the nature of this phenomenon - something that is impossible with the current relationship between Alphas and the mortals.

▸Entropocytes◂

The Entropocytes (tr. પારકો Pārakō, cm. Outsiders, also Adversary) are a physical representation of the Entropy within the material universe. They are horrific creatures of many forms, all of which are utterly alien to the normal reality - impossible physical properties and materials are common for them. Their very presence destabilizes space and interferes with the Machine's Infrastructure; this alone makes them the greatest enemy of Alphas and indeed, all inhabitants of the Great Abyssal Tree.

The Entropocytes are capable of logical thought and posses a primitive hivemind intelligence - a very worrying fact considering the lack of proper material body and as such proper brains. They are highly driven by one singular goal: total destruction of the Great Abyssal Tree through the destabilization of the Machine's Infrastructure. The will behind such a drive is unknown - it is speculated that Outsiders represent the will of the Entropy itself, attributing it to some form of a consciousness within that cosmic phenomenon.
