Brother Mrik’phs, the first of the order upon the cycle, and always the originator of the Compendiums canvas, discovers and has always recorded the first steps of Tha'olthass and calls upon the power of the Ultimate Chaos himself, Azathoth in his falsified state, to lend him power as only words may inscribe upon one's being. His works of the origin record of the cycle, upon which the Compendium revolves, are seen as Tha'olthass’ first and only act of sentience to date save for an anomaly given to a Dissonance Agent whose identity is stricken from the records. Brother Mrik’phs faces destiny upon all cycles as he begins to warp into the first of the New Codex. An entity that inhabits the Epilogue; Mrik’phs is a mass of warping vertices consistently turned in on themselves. An incalculable shape forcing any who view it into nauseous delirium within moments. Mrik’phs empowers his Sons with intelligence and heightened critical thinking allowing for an easier time both connecting the future of the cycle as it is destined to flow as well as forging new rituals with which to combat new threats. First of the many and last of the origin; the only incantation to survive the nascence of the cycle is as follows:

  So Born is that which is holy

  So seen is the endless of its depth

  Born again comes the world unsullied

  Come stave off ye o'er bearing death

  The holy incantation, inkanted with Hufah incensed from nearby braziers offers a psychic meld to Tha’olthass in an attempt to wrest control from the Daydreamers chaotic imagination. The horrifying existence enlightened to the Inner Sanctums tenants slowly drives each one mad. Eunuch and unwavering in their duty each Son marches slowly towards a life of lesser horror mutilation as the grotesque nature of the rituals mutates the essence of Tha’olthass’ sole direct progeny into varying Nth dimensional creatures. Some that are more directly capable in the arts of Goethemy are capable of directly influencing their mutations and, like Mrik’phs before, hold some semblance of sentience so as to infer their gifts to those that invoke their incantations

  Come forth oh Progeny of Progeny

  Daydream of yourself

  Fill me with incanting knowledge

  Alight my soul with erudition

  This incantation leads the ritual caster to a meeting with Mrik’phs and from his guidance one with enough Willpower and Drive may be blessed with enlightenment. This pedantic existence is offset by a yearning. No longer eunuch; Dissonance Agents are set forth as Warlocks each assigned to their own Patron Entity, this newfound loyalty leads to a deep desire for interpersonal relations so as to strengthen each deities cult and allow their existence to flourish in the ever written cycle. Whether the cults of sentient gods such as Cthulhu or Yig demand an ever growing familial like bond for a never ending river of sacrificial blood or the love cults of unending orgies and grotesque fetish of the less sentient deity gods such as Al’krign and Likothu, the fallen DA’s that, when met with their inevitable ascension, sought their own salvation instead; the chosen deity will instill a sense of belonging and similar morality and so the DA factioning is inevitable.

  The Factioning of the Dissonance Agents leads to all out war every cycle; this war lasts only a fraction of a second and a million years as the clash induces Tha’olthass into fervor and causes the loop to cycle to its end and begin anew. As it were, it has been, as it will be. The Fervor induces nightmare and so through his own terrors is Tha’olthass ripped from the unreality he alone can inhabit as the entities spawned from The Deeper Consciousness are altogether one and the same with The Unyielding Chaos. These Cycles, all unique in their microcosms, are marked at the beginning each time by Brother Mrik’phs and he sets out to begin his inscriptions of the order anew.
