Fiction:The Four Queens

"The logical break the mindless, the mindless break the insane, the insane break the logical, and the story consumes them all"

- Unknown

The Triad of Four is name representing are four entities that wrestle for control of Accel Space. Their rather idiosyncratic name comes from the fact that only three form a triad, locked in a conflict with one another, while the fourth seeks to over come and dispose of them all. None of the triad directly fight with one another, but instead are fighting a proxy war using various factions in real space. The four are the Damn'd Witch, the White Whale, the Vermin Fangs, and the Intention of Will.

The Damn'd Witch
The Damn'd Witch is the clinical force of logic within Accel Space and forms the first part of the Triad. The Witch resembles an old, wizened, hideously disfigured version of whatever race it is confronting, always possessing shocking blue eyes. Speaking for the Witch is the hidiously deformed infant see is constant nursing. The Witch's realm within Accel Space resembles a hospital or laboratory of some sort, but with everything a cold, dark grey, and the nurses and doctors being featureless, unfeeling machines.

The Damn'd Witch seeks to understand the universe and it inhabitants, taking everything apart to see how to works and arranging new systems to ensure things work better. However, it does so without regard to morality, the thoughts and feelings of others, or anything really beyond its own drive to understand and improve. The Witch overcomes the Vermin Fangs as the Witch finds meaning in the meaningless view of Vermin Fangs, but is overcome by the White Whale as the Whale's insanity and inscrutable nature defienes any attempt by the Witch to make sense of it.

The White Whale
The master of the insanity and terror found in Accel Space is the leviathan known as the White Whale. Despite its name the White Whale is not a Whale so much as unending mass of blubber covered in eyes that glow a sickly green. Chains cover the whale holding in place the drown corpses of women who speak for the Whale. The realm of the Whale is a labyrinthine insane asylum filled with black water and inhabited by twisted fusions between drowned corpses and sea life.

The White Whale's goals are simple and uncomplex, it simply wishes for mortals to let go of it all. To let go of any form of morality, rationality, and anything else that holds them down. To be free from inhibition and to revel in their freedom however they please without concern or regard for the consequences. The Whale overcomes the Damn'd Witch as the Witch can make no sense of the Whale, but is over come by the Vermin Fangs whose nihilism is so much greater and more destructive then that of the Whale's.

The Vermin Fangs
A nihilistic, mindless, all consuming monstrosity that dwells deep within Accel Space. The Vermin Fangs resembles little more then a maw of black fangs drenched in gore and ringed by glowing red eyes. Speaking for the Fangs is broken a bloodied angel dressed in once golden armor and hanging to one of Fangs' fangs. The realm of the Fangs is stage filled with an ever filling audience of corpses that are constantly sloshing towards the maw of the Fangs.

 * Color - Red
 * Symbol - A Spade

The Fangs are little more then a mindless forces that seeks nothing more then to consume and destroy. It is not motivated by hunger or any greater goal. Indeed the Fangs have motivation or goal for they have no will and are not self aware. The Vermin Fangs overcome the While Whale as the Fangs nihilism is greater then that of the Whale's, but the Fangs are overcome by the Damn'd Witch who finds meaning and purpose even in the Fang's emptiness.
