The Heavenese Synaxarion wasn’t born of earthly hands, but coalesced from the residual harmonics of what scholars now term “The Luminary Drift.” Before time as we perceive it existed, there was only the Chorus – a boundless symphony of potential. As this Chorus began to…fracture, driven by an unknowable impulse of self-reflection, fragments detached, manifesting as shimmering echoes of creation itself. These echoes, later dubbed ‘Luminary Shards,’ were drawn towards areas of nascent complexity. The Synaxarion is believed to be the largest, most intricate collection of these Shards, a repository of lost melodies and forgotten geometries.
Δθ = ∲Σ(λ)
(Delta Theta equals the negative sum of Lambda - a representation of harmonic divergence.)
At its core, the Synaxarion is structured around seven fundamental harmonics – designated as Aetheria, Chronos, Lux, Umbra, Vita, Morte, and Vox. Each harmonic represents a distinct facet of reality's unfolding. Aetheria governs the flow of space-time; Chronos dictates the rhythm of causality; Lux embodies pure energy and illumination; Umbra represents shadow and entropy; Vita signifies life and growth; Morte symbolizes decay and cessation; and Vox is the resonance of thought and intention.
H1 + H2 + H3 + H4 + H5 + H6 + H7 = The Resonance
(The sum of the seven harmonics equals the total resonance, a state of perfect harmonic alignment.)
These are localized distortions in the flow of time, often triggered by intense emotional or creative energy. The Synaxarion allows for limited manipulation of these echoes, primarily to observe past events – but direct interference is strictly forbidden, as it risks unraveling the fabric of reality.
Every object and being possesses a unique Resonance Field dictated by its fundamental harmonic alignment. The Synaxarion acts as a map of these fields, revealing hidden connections and vulnerabilities. Skilled ‘Harmonics’ (the few who can interact with the Synaxarion) can manipulate these fields to achieve remarkable effects – from accelerating plant growth to disrupting electronic systems.
A theoretical state of complete harmonic nullity, representing absolute chaos and oblivion. The Synaxarion actively resists any attempts to approach this state, generating a protective barrier of interwoven harmonics. It’s believed the Silent Chord is the origin point of the Luminary Drift.
The Synaxarion utilizes a unique notation system combining geometric symbols with musical notation. Each symbol represents a harmonic resonance, and the placement of these symbols within a ‘formula’ dictates its effect. The formulas themselves are not simply equations; they're sonic blueprints – instructions for manipulating reality through harmonic resonance.
Ψ = (α * β) / γ
(Psi equals alpha multiplied by beta divided by gamma - a common formula used to shift temporal probabilities.)
Protecting the Synaxarion are the ‘Guardians,’ spectral entities formed from solidified harmonic energy. They are not sentient in the traditional sense, but act as living conduits for the Synaxarion’s power. Their primary duty is to prevent unauthorized access and maintain the integrity of the Archive – a section of the Synaxarion containing fragmented memories of countless realities that have come and gone. The Archive shifts constantly, reflecting the ever-changing nature of existence.
