Fiction:The Box

The Box is a mystical phenomena, possibly connected to.

Origin
The Box' origins are completely shrouded in mystery, and like Chaos, was probably created before the origin of reality itself. Its contents are completely unknown.

War of Ages
In the March of the Apocalypse, the sacrificed themselves to weaken the Xhodocto. While allies assumed it was the Taldar's energies which did so, it was in fact the fact they sent a message to The Box and used their powers to create an Extension. This Extension would prevent the Xhodocto or their brethren from attacking the Universe, and would weaken them for a short time in the Descension.

Second Coming
The saw the revelation of The box to mortals; they learnt that reality is a simulation in the Annihilation. However, in truth, the saw the true revelation of the Box;  was indirectly ordered to destroy the Extension. Wen he did so, the Ayrai'Shikua attacked the Universe to help reality.

It later channeled Psionic, creating the Xol'Etra, during the Annihilation. When the Xhodocto grew beyond the box in Intervention, it gave the Obvia'Atra their power back, as well as putting the Xol'Etra on the Omnipotent 4.

Role
The Box is the simulator of this plane of reality, and the Game. It also determines the physics of reality, through some unknown method. It was, for a while, used to prevent a side from cheating in the Game. Furthermore, it could supplement the lost powers of one Omnipotent race to another; when the gave up their power, it was channeled through to Psionic, creating the Xol'Etra. When the Xhodocto grew beyond the box, it gave the Obvia'Atra their power back, as well as putting the Xol'Etra on the Omnipotent 4.

Design
It is known as The Box due to its peculiar contents. It has been thought the Box contains a completely omnipotent race, higher than even the, but that is generally thought untrue. It has been suggested the Box contains Chaos and is at the centre of the Universe, but again, too little is known of chaos to judge this.
