Introduction

Within the shifting sands of Xylos, a forgotten civilization known as the Silken Lords rose and fell. Their legacy isn't etched in stone monuments or grand libraries, but woven into the very fabric of reality – the Trisagion. It’s not a single object, nor a singular deity, but a confluence of three resonant frequencies: Chronos, Lumina, and Umbra. These frequencies, once harmonized by the Silken Lords, shaped Xylos's temporal currents, illuminated its hidden pathways, and guarded against the encroaching void.

Centuries ago, a catastrophic event – the Great Discord – shattered this harmony. The Trisagion fragmented, scattering its echoes across the desolate landscapes of Xylos. Now, only those attuned to its subtle vibrations can hope to piece together its secrets and understand the true nature of what was lost.

Chronos - The Weaver of Time

Chronos represents the flow of time itself. The Silken Lords utilized Chronos not for manipulation, but for observation and understanding. They believed that time wasn't linear, but a vast, interconnected tapestry. Their artifacts, known as ‘Chronal Shards’, allowed them to perceive echoes of past events – glimpses into moments long gone, allowing them to learn from the mistakes of their ancestors.

Legend speaks of Chronos’s ‘Silent Cities,’ where time flows differently, sometimes accelerating, sometimes slowing down. These cities are said to be guarded by ‘Temporal Wraiths’, remnants of those trapped within its distorted currents.

Lumina - The Light of Revelation

Lumina embodies the illumination of knowledge and truth. The Silken Lords used Lumina to reveal hidden pathways, dispel illusions, and communicate across vast distances. Their ‘Luminary Crystals’ projected beams of concentrated light, capable of piercing even the darkest shadows.

However, Lumina is a volatile force. Prolonged exposure can lead to madness – a blurring of reality where the lines between truth and illusion become indistinguishable. The ‘Lost Librarians of Lumin,’ driven mad by their obsession with knowledge, are said to haunt the ruins of their former academies.

Umbra - The Shield Against Entropy

Umbra is the manifestation of entropy's resistance – a force that protects against the complete dissolution of reality. It’s not inherently malevolent, but it demands respect and vigilance. The Silken Lords constructed ‘Shadow Bastions,’ intricate structures designed to channel Umbra's power, creating zones of stability within Xylos's chaotic environment.

Rumors persist of a ‘Void Serpent’, born from the absence of Umbra, that seeks to consume all existence. The Guardians of the Bastions were tasked with preventing its emergence - a task that ultimately failed, leading to the Great Discord.
