View source for The Convergence

'''The Convergence''' is a cataclysmic event in which multiple universes within the [[The Yonder Realm|Yonder Realm]] become unnaturally linked through a vast network of unstable conduits known as [[The Contradiction]]. This event, caused by the misguided actions of the [[The Deviants|Deviants]], threatens to unravel the barriers between universes, allowing unrestricted travel, time distortions, and the corruption of reality itself.{{Event

==Origins==
The Convergence was set into motion by the [[The Deviants|Deviants]], a group of immortals who, in their mortal lives, had glimpsed the [[The Yonder Realm|Yonder Realm]] and were driven to madness. Upon becoming [[immortal]], they sought forbidden knowledge and were influenced by the whispers of [[Lucifer]], the great deceiver imprisoned in [[Outer Darkness]]. Under his subtle influence, the Deviants embarked on a reckless pursuit to break the natural barriers separating universes, believing that ultimate power could be found beyond the limits imposed by the [[Divine|Divines]].

In their efforts, they constructed a '''network of conduits''', forming [[The Contradiction]], an unstable passageway that '''bypassed the barriers between universes'''. However, their actions had unintended consequences—this act not only '''linked time and space across multiple realities''' but also '''weakened the boundaries''' of [[Outer Darkness]], allowing some of its imprisoned entities, including [[Lucifer]] himself, to escape.
==Effects of the Convergence==
As the universes became linked through [[The Contradiction]], chaos ensued. Some of the major effects of the Convergence include:
*'''Reality Instability:''' Time and space fluctuate unpredictably, causing distortions and paradoxes across connected universes.
*'''Cross-Universe Magic Bleed:''' Magics from different universes mix in unnatural ways, creating powerful but often uncontrollable anomalies.
*'''Temporal Anomalies:''' Moments from the past, present, and future become blurred, allowing echoes of different timelines to manifest.
*'''Dimensional Weakening:''' The natural laws governing universes become unstable, increasing the risk of further breaches into [[Outer Darkness]].
*'''The Release of Lucifer:''' The most devastating consequence—the Convergence weakened the divine seals that bound [[Lucifer]], enabling his escape alongside other powerful demons.
==The Role of the Divines==
Upon realizing the severity of the Convergence, the [[Divine|Divines]] intervened, selecting '''immortal champions''' to combat the spread of [[The Contradiction]] and restore order to the multiverse. These champions, often wielders of divine power or possessing strong moral conviction, were tasked with:
* '''Hunting and confronting the Deviants''', either through diplomacy or force.
*'''Severing unstable conduits''' to stop the further expansion of [[The Contradiction]].
*'''Containing or defeating beings that escaped [[Outer Darkness]]''' before they could corrupt new universes.
*'''Stabilizing affected universes''' to prevent complete collapse.
==Current Status==
The Convergence remains an '''ongoing crisis''', as [[The Contradiction]] continues to expand. While some conduits have been closed, many remain open, creating opportunities for both '''heroes and villains''' to seize power from cross-universal forces. The [[The Deviants|Deviants]] continue their work, believing their cause to be just, while the [[Divine|Divines]] and their champions fight to prevent the ultimate collapse of creation.
