Phantasmoon Games

The Phantasmoon Games are a divine ceremony held in honor of Aha, the Aeon of Elation, whenever the Phantasmoon waxes full on Planarcadia.^[1][2]

Overview

At an unknown point in the past, the remains of Oroboros, the Aeon of Voracity, were scattered across the stars and numerous worlds, one of which was Planarcadia. There, the remains were suppressed through the power of the Path of Abundance while siphoning the power of the Path of Voracity in what came to be known as the Phantasmoon Games.^[3] The Wishpower gathered through the games flowed into the Panarch Elwood, where it satiated the dead remains of Oroboros sealed at the world's core, preventing THEM from awakening. As a reward, Aha grants the victor one minute of THEIR life.^[3][4]

Evanescia, an Emanator of Abundance, was brought to Planarcadia by Aha to serve as the arbitrator of the Phantasmoon Games. Aha promised to enlighten Evanescia by teaching her to understand true joy through the Phantasmoon Games' endless cycles. In return, Evanescia was tasked with upholding a single rule: the Phantasmoon Games must continue for eternity, unending like the eternal cycle of the sun and moon rising and setting.^[5]

The Phantasmoon Games occur in irregular cycles, typically every thirty to fifty years. During this period, individuals from across the cosmos compete for the favor of Aha through feats designed to attract Wishpower generated by spectators.^[1][6]

Origins

According to legend, Aha once painted a celestial phenomenon known as the Phantasmoon across the sky, creating the first imagenae. Drawn by this spectacle, eight Mourning Actors presented stories so shocking and extraordinary that they hoped to earn an audience with Aha. Their performance marked the beginning of the Phantasmoon Games. Since then, whenever the Phantasmoon waxes full, the Phantasmoon Games commences.^[1][2]

Supplicants and Masks

Before the Phantasmoon Games officially begin, competitors participate in preliminary trials. The eight individuals who succeed each claim a Mask, earning the title of Supplicant. A Mask permanently binds to its Supplicant upon being worn. Each Mask takes on a form that reflects its wearer's soul and significantly amplifies their innate abilities. Once bonded, a Mask cannot be removed and becomes an extension of the Supplicant's identity.^[1][6] In previous Phantasmoon Games, some Supplicants obtained their Masks by purchasing them with Credits, some stole them, some inherited them from their ancestors, while others drew their own.^[7]

A Supplicant who loses their Mask is considered eliminated from the game. Regardless of how many Masks are destroyed during a game, eight blank Masks will always appear before the next Phantasmoon Games begin. Under normal circumstances, destroyed Masks gradually reappear across Planarcadia over the course of three to five years, often triggering small-scale mask-grabbing frenzies. While undamaged Masks remain in the possession of their wearers after the games conclude, Supplicants cannot participate a second time, rendering the blank Masks useless to them. Some Supplicants pass their Mask on to the next generation, which is considered a fortunate outcome.^[6][8]

Wishpower and Performance

After joining the Phantasmoon Games, Supplicants typically announce their participation publicly to attract attention. This attention generates Wishpower, which they can use to perform increasingly extravagant feats. During the Phantasmoon Games, Supplicants are free from all external interference, allowing them to act without restraint. Creativity and spectacle are highly encouraged, as the accumulation of Wishpower is essential to attracting Aha's attention.^[1]

Contrary to popular belief, however, the Wishpower gathered by Supplicants is ultimately channeled into the Panarch Elwood, where it is used to satiate the dead husk of Oroboros. Acording to Asat Pramad, the markings surrounding each Mask in Phantasmoon Courtyard symbolize this purpose, conveying a single message: "If you wish to lull the Voracity to sleep, you must fill them."^[4]

Rewards

The Supplicant who rises above all others receives the Blessing of Elation and is granted a face-to-face audience with Aha. During this meeting, Aha listens to the victor's wish and the victor is granted Aha's divine authority for one minute. The use of this authority varies wildly, often with unpredictable and far-reaching consequences.^[1][2]

During the first Phantasmoon Games in Amber Era 2158, Aha, speaking through the Phantasmoon, declared that the winner of that round of the games would become the true and permanent Aeon of Elation.^[4][45]
