Khuamkira, otherwise commonly known as the Crux and the Feral God, is one of the Twelve Simulacra, representing the spheres of instinct, violence, and evolutionary adaptation, and is the progenitor and patron icon of Primal energy. An enigmatic entity originating from the alien world of Id, the Crux is an otherwise mindless creature that orchestrates itself and its countless nightmarish spawn, the Exosubstratal, according to its own unpredictable and wild whimsy and is the cause and figurehead behind many extraplanar invasions into the neighbouring realms, including Koldenwelt, so that it may change and reshape them to become extensions of its own home, in the process assimilating the native lifeforms into its own. Chaotic and xenophobic, the Crux is regarded and underestimated by many to be more of an inconvenience than it is an otherworldly threat, ignorant and oblivious to the extent at which it has gone to colonise and settle those various planes beyond its own.
Its legions of omnivorous predators and mutative, Source-opposing magic brought into the world by error of the extinct civilisation of the Sohet, the Crux ultimately fears those worlds different to its own and has existed in a perpetual, maddened state of wild torment and frenzy upon having chanced upon the knowledge of these ethereal and alien otherworlds, only a partial remnant of its original sanity and intelligence having survived. Despite its hate for the realms beyond its own, however, the Crux finds itself worshipped by those that reject or are oblivious to sophisticated society and the boundaries of civilisation due to its affiliation with the most basic of instincts - procreation, consumption, and adaptation; the cores of survival.
History[]
Early History[]
Prior to even the earliest recordings of its existence, the Crux, prior to its animalistic, frenzied state, and the distant ancestors of the Idkin of the Exosubstratal were isolated within the realm of Id, largely oblivious to the neighbouring Simulacra worlds and the developing landscape that was Koldenwelt beyond the Crux merely acknowledging awareness of their existence under the assumption that these realms behaved in a similar, if not identical, manner to its own - an assumption that would later prove false. The non-euclidian and physics-defying scape that the diverse Idkin species, intelligent yet lacking conscience, thrived within was effectively an infinite realm of its own. The Crux, despite its reign over an endless realm, however, eventually found itself troubled - in the rear of its (comparitively) godlike conscious mind, the Crux found itself dreaming things as an unknowing result of the recessive thoughts of the immortal Caligaduro Provectus and the collective, diverse consciousness of Isiris interfering with Id, weakening the barriers that isolated it from the rest of its extraplanar neighbourhood until, eventually, the Crux sought to curiously discover the meaning and purpose behind those bizarre dreams of strange, alien landscapes and creatures that tormented and frustrated it so. Thus, the Crux underestimatedly stared into the worlds beyond Id.
The transition from a conscious being into something that could barely, if at all, register as an intelligent entity was agonizingly swift as the visage of these otherworldly planes overwhelmed the Crux's mind, proving far more maddeningly alien to its understanding of the world than it had been prepared for - the dreams brought unto it as a result of the walls of Id becoming battered by the recessive thoughts of the Simulacra and the godlike sapience of Koldenwelt proved far more tolerable than the real visions it beheld in that instance. Its mind was rendered frail and broken to the point that all that remained were the most base and primitive of instincts; feeling itself and its territory surrounded by these dominating powers, it, in all of its fear and disgust, resisted and enacted the first of countless predatory campaigns to right the cosmic wrongs it had exposed itself and Id to, all the while what remained of its superego manifested into the entity Khuaimuhara - Qhomthell, or the Vestige - which led the first assaults to reshape segments of Sanguine Hill and the Underworld amongst others.
The state of Id was not weakened enough for the Crux to manifest its omnivorous legions of apex predators into Koldenwelt for eons, however, until the fateful day the technomagically-oriented state of the ancient Sohet - an archaic, advanced nation that ruled the Sea of Sand following the exile and dissolution of the empire of the Adamantine Elves - had innovated the means to attempt travel into neighbouring worlds of their own accord; it was this technomagic that finally broke the weakened barrier between Id and Koldenwelt and allowed the Exosubstratal, as they would be called, into the world while it was simultaneously becoming ravaged by the daemonic armies of the Adversary and the Void. Following their release into Koldenwelt, the Exosubstratal, joined by the Crux itself, would ravage life across the Sea of Sand, causing the extinction of many native species, the destruction of various hidden, secretive Adamantine Elf enclaves, and decimating the civilisation of the Sohet and their adopted Ankhor serfs, while many a Sand Drake were either mutated or murdered by the alien invaders, with Athinyeras, the Old Sand Colossus, being defeated, mercilessly torn apart, and partially devoured by the Crux in a colossal and highly destructive last stand.
