Every choice led to its own consequences.
This was a truth so fundamental that it transcended Civilizations and Scales of Existence, applying equally to the smallest decisions of insignificant beings and the gambits of THE entities whose actions shaped reality itself.
THE Corpse Hierophant had chosen to wage war against all other Primordial Civilizations rather than cooperate toward shared goals, and that choice had led to mutual collapse that reduced every participant to shadows of their former glory.
THE Endless Dream had chosen to seek alliance with an anomaly rather than join those hunting him, and that choice had positioned her to potentially become the first among Collapsed Civilizations to fully recover.
THE Sovereign Catalyst had chosen to ally with his former enemy against a common threat, and that choice had led to his manifestation being consumed by the very target he sought to eliminate.
