Agartha
-------

All times and dates are unknown

-The Keepers craft the Summoning Key, a device that allows them to manipulate the
Aether. Holding power over reality itself, they use it
to create Agartha. A being known only as the "First One" uses it to seed the other
dimensions with life.

-The Keepers master the ability to travel between dimensions.

-Some Keepers begin to experiment with the Dark Aether, which corrupts and corrodes
their souls. Among them is the Shadowman.

-The corrupted Keepers create the Aether Pyramid, a device capable of absolute
power. A schism forms between them and those Keepers
untainted by the Dark Aether.

-War breaks out between the corrupted and uncorrupted Keepers.

-Facing defeat, the corrupted Keepers hide the Aether Pyramid on a moon within one
of the newly discovered dimensions. After banishing
the corrupted Keepers to the Dark Aether beneath creation, the remaining Keepers
take on the mantle of Guardians. Trapped in the Dark
Aether, the corrupted Keepers contort and evolve over eons, ultimately becoming the
Apothicons. They desire, above all else, to return to
Agartha.

-With Doctor Monty's help, the Maxis Drone arrives at the House in Agartha. Despite
the absence of his soul, Monty recreates a physical
manifestation of his Dimension 63 form.

-Monty brings Samantha to the House, reuniting her with the Dimension 63
incarnation of her father.

-Knowing that Samantha is corrupted by the Dark Aether, Monty takes her away from
Maxis and the House.

-Alone in the House and missing his daughter, Maxis wonders if Richtofen will have
"the courage to fulfill the vow he made all those
years ago."

-Having observed Monty for some time, Maxis uses the teleporter in the basement of
the House to study and explore other dimensions. Among
them is the Empty Earth, where an alternate Maxis had constructed Zero Base, a
facility that houses artifacts and replicas collected from
a multitude of different timelines. However, his attempts to manipulate The Empty
Earth created a reality too fragile to be sustained.

-Monty returns Samantha to Maxis, her innocence restored.

-Monty explains to Maxis that the paradox wrought by a multiverse must be resolved.
A new reality can be created - one free of the
Apothicons - but only if they enlist the aid of souls who had lived through and
survived the fracturing.

-Among the artifacts that Maxis collected in Zero Base is an ancient book known as
the Kronorium - a complete chronicle of the entire
history and future of all reality. Protected by various countermeasures, the
facility can only be accessed by those possessing a soul.

-Maxis tells Richtofen the plan to secure the Kronorium and locate the Summoning
Key. Hearing the echoes of his other selves, Richtofen
discovers his connection with Samuel Stuhlinger and decides to use Victis to
acquire the Kronorium.
-Upon arriving at Zero Base, Victis provides blood samples that allow them to
access the Empty Earth, and recover the Kronorium.

-Richtofen collects the Victis blood samples from Undead Richtofen.

-Richtofen collects Eddie's innocent soul from Dimension 2210, and Monty gives him
a physical form in the House.

-Eddie and Samantha meet each other for the first time. Samantha writes in her
diary that Edward "doesn't like to share toys."

-Monty brings Eddie and Samantha more toys.

-Maxis notes that teleportation and travel between dimensions could have a profound
impact on the mind. He fears that the confusion
caused by the collision of memories past, present, and future could lead to the
collapse of reality itself.

-The souls arrive. Maxis tells Samantha and Eddie to "put the toys away... make
sure the windows are locked before (they) come down to
the basement."

-As each soul arrives, Monty transforms them into their younger selves and returns
their innocence.

-Primis brings the Summoning Key to the House, where Maxis unwittingly releases the
Shadowman - who in turn frees the Apothicons from the
Dark Aether.

-Unaware that they will be wiped from existence once they have served their final
purpose, Primis battles alongside Monty in his final
battle against the Shadowman. Maxis and his wife then destroy the Apothicons,
saving the multiverse. With the Shadowman and the
Apothicons vanquished, Monty discovers that Primis has consumed the blood of souls
from dimensions that no longer exist. Monty then
thinks of what to do with them as they can't stay in his world. Richtofen suggests
that he could send them somewhere else in history.
Monty sends them back to the Great War, where they become the four legendary
heroes, completing the cycle. (Revelations)

14. Buried (2035) - Victis arrive in Angola, Africa, where Purgatory Point was
teleported to from the 1800s. They are again contacted by
Richtofen and Maxis, and they again side with Maxis. Maxis uses the pylons to gain

Richtofen.

Primis Timeline

1. Origins (1918) - During World War I, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo are sent to
investigate the activities and weaponry of Germany and
Group 935 at a digsite in France. Here, they encounter Richtofen, who has just
finished transporting a catatonic Maxis' brain from his
body into a jar. Primis is formed, and is contacted by Samantha to help free her
from Agartha. Primis rebuilds the legendary elemental
staves and free Samantha, while also transporting Maxis to Agartha. Richtofen then
leaves briefly to retrieve the Summoning Key and the
Kronorium.

2. Mob of the Dead (1934) - A group of prisoners - Sal DeLuca, Billy Handsome, Finn
O'Leary, and Al Arlington - are incarcerated in
Alcatraz, which has been turned into a pocket dimension that functions like a
purgatory. Al convinces the others to help him escape by
building a makeshift plane on the roof, however the others realize the plan is
ridiculous, and kill him. They are then all sentenced to
death, before re-awaking and performing the same events over and over again.
Eventually, Al breaks the cycle by killing the other
mobsters, allowing all of them to escape the pocket dimension.

3. Shadows of Evil (1944) - Four people - Nero Blackstone, Jack Vincent, Jessica
Rose, and Floyd Campbell - are manipulated by the
Shadowman into performing rituals that grant the Apothicons access to Dimension 63.
After being duped, they turn on the Shadowman and

and takes it, leaving Dimension 63 to be destroyed by
the Apothicons.

4. The Giant (1945) - Primis travel to the Der Riese facility, where they kill

multiverse by killing their alternate selves and transporting their souls to
Agartha. Primis Dempsey kills Ultimis Dempsey and secures
his soul in the Summoning Key.

6. Zetsubou No Shima (1945) - Primis arrive at Division 9's Island Facility, where
they find Ultimis Takeo, who has been transformed into
a monster due to the group's experiments. Ultimis Takeo reveals to Primis Takeo
that the Emperor betrayed both of them, and Primis Takeo
helps him commit seppuku, before securing his soul in the Summoning Key. Primis
then travel to Richtofen's lab underneath Alcatraz to
retrieve vials containing blood samples from Victis.

The timeline splits here - in one universe, Primis simply retrieve the vials and
then depart to Stalingrad to recover the soul of Ultimis
Nikolai, continuing the cycle. In another universe, Primis get trapped in Alcatraz
by the warden, and Richtofen is forced to come to
terms with the fact that he has to die for the multiverse to be saved, breaking the
cycle.

The Cycle Continues

7. Gorod Krovi (1943) - Primis arrive in Stalingrad to find a three-way battle

between dragons, undead, and Russian mechs. Primis teams
up with Ultimis Nikolai to help kill the giant dragon, but Ultimis Nikolai then
betrays them and tries to kill Primis Nikolai. Primis
Nikolai kills his Ultimis self in defense, and secures his soul in the Summoning
Key. Maxis then opens a portal to bring Primis to
Agartha.

8. Revelations (Unknown) - After Primis arrives in Agartha, Maxis accidentally

frees the Shadowman from the Summoning Key, who allows the
Apothicons to enter Agartha. Primis destroys both the Shadowman and the Apothicons,
creating an everlasting, peaceful Agartha. However,
due to drinking the Victis blood vials, Primis does not disappear from existence as
is supposed to happen, forcing Monty to send them
back in time to the Great War as the four legendary heroes. They retain none of
their memories, and become trapped in a never-ending
cycle spanning from the events of Origins to the events of Revelations.

The Cycle is Broken

7. Blood of the Dead (1941) - When retrieving the blood vials, a future version of
Richtofen forces him to read the Kronorium, where he
realizes that he has to die in order for the multiverse to be saved. He refuses to
accept his fate, causing the future Richtofen to smash
the blood vials. This causes Primis to linger in Alcatraz, allowing the Warden to
destroy the portal out, trapping them in the prison.
Primis Richtofen is forced to sacrifice himself in order for the rest of Primis to
escape, at which point Great War Richtofen arrives.
He gives the Kronorium to Nikolai, who reads it and understands what must be done.
Primis (now with Great War Richtofen) leave and go to
the Groom Lake facility in 1963, where they return Ultimis Richtofen's soul to his
body, and recruit the imprisoned Ultimis crew to help
them break the cycle. Primis Richtofen dies in Alcatraz.

8. Alpha Omega (2025) - Primis and Ultimis travel to the Nuketown facility, AKA
Camp Edward, to retrieve the Elemental Shard - the final
missing piece of the Agarthan Device. There, they encounter the Avogadro, who they
defeat. After retrieving the shard from the APD, both
crews travel to an unknown location to camp out. Primis Nikolai manipulates Undead
Richtofen into releasing Victis from cryo-sleep and
instructing them to travel to the Siberian facility to complete the Agarthan
device.

9. Tag der Toten (1965) - Victis arrives at the Siberian facility and, with the
help of Pablo Marinus, assemble and retrieve the Agarthan
Device. Primis Nikolai uses the device to cleanse the multiverse, banishing Element
115, Agartha, and anything related to them to the
Dark Aether, including Victis themselves. Primis Nikolai then poisons the drinks of
everyone else in both Primis and Ultimis, and kills
Undead Richtofen. He then hands a gun to Samantha, and allows her to kill him,
ending the final paradox. Eddie and Samantha then exit
the Dark Aether and enter into a new, unified universe, uncorrupted by the Dark
Aether.
