The Core connects all Temporal Gateways in the starlight path, serving as a central hub and linking the nine worlds of Myriad. Due to its placement in the eye-shaped configuration of the nine worlds, The Core is sometimes referred to as ‘The Pupil’ by astronomers.
For thousands of years, The Core floated alone through the cosmos, witnessing the birth and demise of countless worlds and stars, until it stumbled upon a barren planet in its path and brought it into orbit. Recognizing the potential of this ruined land, The Core gifted its own power to grant it a fresh opportunity, and Prosperia was born. Under the lonely planet's protection, a vibrant realm of immortal personifications flourished.
In the centuries that followed, The Core came to the rescue of seven more worlds, granting them portions of its power to facilitate their growth. As civilizations thrived and advanced, interest grew, and a young immortal from Prosperia named Bartholomew Amias Spark became especially interested in studying the central world. However, without a means of reaching it, his research soon came to a halt. Desperate to see The Core for himself, he created a rudimentary travel system and reached their rescuer.
Bartholomew dedicated years to his studies, meticulously tracing each detail and conducting countless experiments. His efforts were rewarded when he made a groundbreaking discovery: The Core is a sentient being. Fuelled by his breakthrough, Bartholomew was determined to communicate and succeeded by permitting the world access to his mind.
The professor listened intently to The Core, nurturing it and absorbing stories of adventure and exploration, pushing further into the bounds of knowledge. Over time, he made the world his home and established a personal lab to direct further experiments and foster progress across the nine worlds. However, his growing curiosity tempted him towards more ambitious endeavors, and he daydreamed about visiting other planets. With the same basic system he had used to reach the central world, and with The Core's guidance, he created the first Temporal Gateway and set about installing them across Myriad.
As rumors of the enigmatic professor spread, The Core earned its reputation as the residence of Professor Bartholomew Amias Spark, The Navigator of the Starlight Path and the protector of all worlds. Luceras, the lord of creativity and Bartholomew's brother, later constructed a vast library on the largest moon, containing the history and education of every world in Myriad to connect the worlds through knowledge.
