The Wei'vir Realm is a vast interstellar society centred in the planet Wei'vir in the Wei'vir Starcluster situated just beyond the Galactic Disk ruled by the Wei'virs, a hive-minded amorphoid species that inhabited the region. The Realm has greatly changed over time, initially being a small isolated territory found within the starcluster, to being "subjugated" by the High Priest's Fiefdom and its Celestial Army, to eventually managing to usurp full control over this fiefdom and army in 464 CE after the death of The High Priest.
History
Origins
The origins of the Wei'virs, much like the Elder Gods, are shrouded in mystery to all that are not them, yet various rumours of their origins have circulated. A unusual consistency in these rumours asserts that the Wei'virs were created by the Elder Gods, Deities, or some other set of beings at the dawn of time to weave the universe together into something more complex beyond its previous simplicity despite its vastness, creating countless stars and planets across the universe to bring it to 'life'. No actual evidence to support these claims has ever been cited, and many claim that the Wei'virs themselves may have created these rumours due to their reality-warping capabilities, hoping to posture themselves akin to gods out of some-kind of narcissism.
A Homeworld
Regardless of the validity of their rumoured origins, it is considered possible that they had used their abilities to create their homeworld of Wei'vir to give themselves a proper life and existence akin to all the other species of the Milky Way. On this homeworld they formed their own society and culture, preferring a fairly isolationist stance uninvolved with the on-goings of the galaxy, which was successful to the point that The High Priest had no idea of their capabilities when he came across their homeworld.
Joining the High Priest
As the High Priest reached Wei'vir after securing Solarya and Vortakhx, he was completely unaware of the Wei'virs capabilities, rumoured history, or cosmic powers, only seeing them as a useful asset due to rumours of them being proficient 'crafters'. Little did he know, they were in fact much older and wiser than even him, leading to him swiftly being surrounded and captured by them. He raged, trying to break free from his imprisonment. Surprisingly enough, once he calmed and took a closer look, the Wei'virs were not so much different from himself, featuring very similar characteristics to him and his fellow Elder Gods. Upon this discovery, he decided that perhaps it would be wise to converse with these beings rather than subdue them.
He decided to explain his reasonings of conquest to these clearly intelligent beings, telling them about the corrupt Elder Gods and how he had been mistreated by them, explaining how he was gathering powerful races amongst the cosmos to engage in battle against them, and that the ones he had visited before were indeed worthy to join his army much like they were. The Wei'virs did not care though, seeing through his half truths. They were an moment away from erasing his existence, yet they hesitated. Even if the High Priest was devious and treacherous, his proposal still offered them something they had always craved, a purpose. They agreed that the Elder Gods had not treated the universe they thought they had forged with the respect they asserted they deserved, and even if the High Priest's goals were corrupt, they were still a goal, one they could work towards. Even if the High Priest was worse, they knew now that they could overpower him if necessary. They could re-forge the universe in a new image, a better image, one without the corrupting brought from the Elder Gods' machinations. None of these plans were shared with the High Priest though, since the Wei'virs were even more conniving and intelligent than even him. In the end, the Wei'virs decided to willingly join the Celestial Army, and let the High Priest believe he had subjugated them.
Much like his other conquests, the High Priest decided to modify some of the Wei'virs to become 'better' warriors able fit his image, as he had already done to the Solaryans and Vorxans. However, unbeknownst to the High Priest, the Wei'virs were not the only ones who were modified as the High Priest himself was modified by the Wei'virs', whom 'injected' a part of their collective consciousness into his mind, spreading throughout his mind as he directed them to create weapons of war. It even reached the essence of the Vorxan Matriarch, and promised her that once their new reality had come she and her people would have a place in it, securing themselves even more power. Now that all had been settled, once the High Priest's time had come to an end, a far greater threat may be unleashed on the universe, but for now the Wei'virs plans and influence lays dormant, allowing the High Priest to continue with his plans as they schemed in the shadows.
The Herald
Once the High Priest’s mission had been clear, now it remains clouded as he commands the strongest army the cosmos had ever seen… He struggled to see the way forwards, feeling compelled to abandon his plans in order to serve the interests of a force much more ancient than him. Feeling that the High Priest was nearing the end of his usefulness, the puppet of the Wei'virs in the High Priest’s mind spoke to him, urging him to only follow their desires. Unlike the many times before this had occurred, this time the High Priest sensed the malevolent intentions of this presence within his mind, sensing that he was being controlled. He did not know by what, but what he did know is it had been leading him astray. This puppet had grown complacent, and had begun underestimating him, giving him the opportunity to break free from the Wei’virs control.
Using all their might to blind the High Priest of their actions, the Wei’virs descended upon Taros Prime to seek out the man who slayed The Clone. They came across a broken person, one whom had been weakened, and continuously haunted by the writhing beast his soul now inhabited. For ages now this man had been searching for a successor, one which could free the Taros Cluster. Even when the Wei’virs presented themselves, he disregarded their offer, as an offer such as theirs could only be a trick of The Hive, yet it was not, as they showed him everything. This vision lasted for mere moments, yet it was all he needed to be convinced, despite knowing of the Wei’virs intentions if the High Priest were to have been destroyed. Given the man’s failure at finding a successor, the Wei’virs instead proposed to instead create one, one which they could supply with weapons and armour capable of resisting even the might of the gods themselves. All they needed from the man was a genetic template, one which they could use to create such a hero. While they could provide it form, they could not provide knowledge or direction, thus the man was tasked with teaching this hero what needed to be done. Before any of this could be done however, the man would need to go on one last quest, one to retrieve an elixir of life, one which could reconstitute the hero lest they fall to the myriad of threats they would be tasked with destroying. While the darkness the use of such an artifact may release could be dire, a curse is nothing compared to eternal salvation.
Thus, the man set forth for one final time. Initially he began his quest by seeking out knowledge, inquiring from the peoples of the Taros Cluster of where such an elixir could be found, hearing tales of its origins as the final sample of primordial ooze all life in the Taros cluster had emerged from. Once he came across the peoples of the frozen north of Taros Prime, an oddity was discovered. The peoples of these lands had a truly impressive lifespan, living countless years while still appearing youthful. He was close, so he sought out to look around here. He inquired of the people’s old tales, learning of pilgrimages to a supposed shrine of youth, which he followed in order to discover a strange opening deep underground which contained the elixir of life he had been seeking. He filled a bottle with the liquid pooling at the bottom of the opening, though at this point something changed as the liquid rapidly heated up and began steaming, seeping through the passage he had opened. Not waiting to find out the repercussions of what he had done, he sealed the jar and quickly left. In his haste to acquire the elixir, the legends had not been entirely read, hiding the fact that any mortals that took directly from the pools, instead of the crystals and rising ooze it provided would unleash a terrible curse upon the world which granted life to all that had lived, raising the dead with a feeling of only bloodlust. Not knowing of this, he returned to the Wei’virs, who forged The Herald, a man who they claimed would would one day purge the Taros Cluster of darkness.
Battle of Taros
Deep in the jungles of Taros-6 lays a vast construct housing the last of the Serellians, a reptilian species who had nearly gone extinct due to infighting over a century ago. This construct was sealed shut, for these were the final remains of the Lunar Nation, religious fanatics who were twisted by their race’s final war. During their imprisonment they produced various devices of incredible power capable of influencing the wills of the greatest of beings, turning the defence mechanisms of the construct from protecting them, to protecting others from them. They sat idly, waiting for an opportunity to break free of their tomb…
Having destroyed the various monstrosities assembled in The Great Machine that had plaguing the Taros Cluster, the Herald journeyed to Taros-6 to investigate rumours of threats existing in its jungles. After slaying its guardians, the Herald opened the vast construct, revealing its occupants. Believing they had quelled all threats within the jungles, the Herald returned back to civilization to protect it from future threats. But what they did not know is they had unwittingly released a much greater threat than they set out to destroy, for the zealots inside were now released.
The followers of the Lunar Nation left their tomb and travelled to the now long-abandoned Beacon constructed by Nthanithor, praying and speaking to their ‘great lunar god’ of their devotion. After weeks of prayer, their god spoke back. While they had received incoherent screams and brief visions in the past, this time their god, the High Priest, spoke directly to them. He revealed that he did indeed know of the Taros Cluster, and was pleased that he had such loyal subjects, but now was not the time for his coming. First the Taros Cluster must be prepared for his arrival, its population must be purged. To achieve this the High Priest taught the Lunarists a ritual which would summon four pylons that each acted as a portal for The Celestial Army to spill out onto the Taros Cluster. Soon the activities of the Lunar Nation caught the attention of the Herald, who engaged in battle with them. It was too late however, as the last cultist was struck down the ritual was completed, summoning The Celestial Army to the Taros Cluster.
The High Priest’s armies were faltering against the Tarosians… This was all or nothing, he could no longer hide in the background and was forced to finally intervene, personally arriving in the Taros Cluster to beat it into submission. His great plan was no longer a secret. His plans against the Elder Overseers were beginning to unravel, and they were coming for him. The Battle of Taros must succeed, or it would all be for nothing…
Already somewhat injured by the carnage of the battle as Tarosian after Tarosian under the leadership of The Herald attacked him, the High Priest saw them arriving in the skies, the Elder Overseers of Xoth had arrived… He was too slow. The Elder Overseers looked upon the supposed ‘runt of the litter’ with anger, having quickly gathered that what was going on here was a scheme against them and their supremacy. They together launched a focused attack onto The High Priest, depriving him of his power just long enough that The Herald and his armies managed to strike a killing blow, killing the High Priest once and for all.
Left without leadership, The Celestial Army’s forces in the Taros Cluster dispersed and fled back to their now leaderless ‘fiefdom’, where chaos was sure to soon erupt. Having successfully fought for their continued existence, all Tarosian states finally unified under the Confederation of Taros, with the region finally managing to shake off the threat of the Elder Gods and internal struggles as they now could achieve peace and go beyond their previous confines.
The Restoration of the Wei'vir Realm
In the ensuing power struggle that followed the death of The High Priest all four of the other species that made up The Celestial Army fought among each other until their true leaders all along, the Wei'virs, descended upon them, pulling them back under their direct control and directing them onto the path of war to reforge the universe.
