If you hear about the Maramon, you may think that they’re all evil. The truth
is that they’re just as diverse as any significant population. Some are good,
some are bad, and the only reason they appear to be so averse to humans is
jealousy. Everyone else was born to a large universe with plenty of breathing
room, but Ansutah was made small, limited, and constricting. Still, there were
factions and camps, and two of these opposing groups ended up in the same
section of The Crossover together when the explosion occurred. I couldn’t tell
you why exactly they were there, because the outer bulkverse is hazy for me,
but I can tell you the consequences. The original Crossover had different
sections that served different purposes, as you might imagine. One of them
allowed access to multiple pocket dimensions, which effectively undecupled the
amount of space that they had available. But it was actually a different
section that generated and maintained the stability of these pockets, and this
was where the two opposing sides were at the time of cataclysm. They flew off
into the bulk, and only survived because the dimensional generator received an
enormous burst of bulk energy. It was enough to create an entirely new
universe from scratch, and it was here that these two groups would come to
call home. Obviously what I’m setting up here is that they had different ideas
of what that home should look like. One sided wanted to form a Maramon empire,
where they would rebuild the Crossover, and use it to conquer the humans. The
other wanted to construct a new version of Earth, and populate it with humans,
who they saw as gods. The second group won at first, but then the first group
took over, and warped the world to their needs. Their leader was named Azazil
Aj-lishdefil, and he earned his woxa of Adversary when he led a coup against
the true leader, Alaha ‘Almighty’ Adonai. Adversary didn’t just start killing
all the humans. No, he pretended to be their creator, and let his religions
spread around the globe, and throughout time. Millennia later, with the number
of believers at its apex, he used his followers to build an army. It was his
intention to send the witless slaves out into the bulkverse, so they could do
all the heavy lifting, and realize his dreams of total domination on his
behalf. Of course, Alaha and her own people couldn’t let that happen without a
fight. A resistance grew out of the survivors, and they did everything they
could do to stop Adversary and his demons at every turn. They were smart,
better organized than Adversary thought they could possibly be, and scrappy. I
won’t tell you how it ends, or who wins. I just want you to know the
situation, so you don’t rush to judgment if you ever encounter a Maramon.
