Iconai lives in a cabin his grandfather Uric in the outskirts of town. He is a typical young boy who spends his time doing chores, reading, and venturing within the nearby woods with his cat, Samsara.
His grandafther Uric, spends most of his time in his study and occasionally old friends stop by the cabin. Nothing exciting ever happens in the cabin; life is mostly peaceful. As the leaves begin to brown and delicately fall off the oak and maples tres that surround their property, Iconai celebrates another year around the sun. Tomorrow he is turning 13 years old.
As Iconai rests on the night before his birthday, he finds himself experiencing a vivid dream full of wisdom and seemingly overlayed with prophecy. He wakes up abruptly to the sound of Samsara meowing by his bed. Samsara flees out of his room, bouncing a top the old wooden floors and towards the cellar of the cabin. Iconai swiftly follows Samsara down into the cellar, somewheres he never has had the reason to go into. Samsara stops before a thick large canva drapped from corner to corner covering the entire face of the south-facing wall.
Iconai carefully approaches the canvas and reveals a copper room with strange symbols glowing from the metallic wall.

After years of serving the Septuorians, Iconai orchestrates his forbidden departure from the order. He has uncovered many dark secrets in which he is unable to align with his own morality.
Other members have also felt this conscious shift and have begun aligning themselves with one of two factions based on their own values.
Iconai’s departure strengthens the internal conflict; giving power to those who wish to follow in his footsteps and motivation to those who oppose him and seek his demise.
A bounty is placed on Iconai and all those who choose to assist him. He is no longer bound to the rules and formalities of engagement. He may now choose to collaborate with Angels, Demons and other forgotten tribes as he sees fit.
Iconai is now untethered and free to journey on his own path into the abyss; just as we find ourselves shifting as a collective and ascending into chaos.

They have interacted with various species and beings and have kept the modern world from knowing these truths.

Iconai, once a high-ranking member of the Septuorians, is now actively pursued by the secret society. Iconai sets out on his own path to help liberate humankind from the shackles of their own limitations.
Dwellers are a race of feral humans that had found refuge within vast cavern systems during their own catastrophic reset. These tunnels in which they inherited, stretch throughout the world and have existed long before their claim.

There exists a small faction of Dwellers, which have held onto a sliver of humaneness. They do not feed on innocent prey, in contrary, they have been known to save those on the brink of death and even within the sights of other Dwellers.
