The World of Kael'theran: A Fractured Realm
Kael'theran is not a planet—it is a consequence.
When the multiverse collapsed in on itself during the event known as the Foldfall, the dying shards of forgotten worlds were drawn together by something unnatural. Ruined civilizations, time-frozen gods, collapsed timelines—stitched together by a logic no longer understood.
Each surviving fragment became a Shard Zone, overseen by a Dominion Core—a self-learning reality protocol that governs power, order, and memory. Together, these fragments formed Kael'theran: a realm where the rules of physics, magic, and time vary from region to region.
But Dominion is not divine. It's decaying.
Breaches—tears between Kael'theran and the void known as the Fold—open and close unpredictably. Through these, twisted beasts and dead things crawl back in, carrying echoes of other realities.
And sometimes, people fall through.
☄️ Kael's Arrival: A Breach of Error
Kael Arin did not die.
He was deleted.
On Earth, Kael was barely surviving—chronically ill, socially isolated, his brain fried by painkillers and screen light. His final moment wasn't heroic or tragic. It was glitched.
At 3:17 AM, during a global satellite failure, an experimental AI-linked neural implant at a medical testing facility pulsed once—then vanished Kael's consciousness from the real world. No crash. No death certificate. His body remained in a vegetative state.
But his mind?
It was swallowed by the Fold.
Something within the collapsing Dominion lattice detected his thought signature—a unique anomaly not yet bound by any system. It pulled him across fractured dimensions, into a crater under Kael'theran's bleeding sky.
Not summoned.
Not chosen.
Imported as an error.
He arrived coreless, yet branded. Marked as "Unbound." A corruption the world cannot explain.
🌀 Why Kael Matters
He can't be classified by Dominion law.
He can absorb memories instead of leveling conventionally.
He threatens the Sovereigns, who rely on Dominion to exist.
His very presence causes local system fractures and destabilization.
In the eyes of Kael'theran, Kael is not a hero.
He is a threat to structure.
And that makes him powerful.
