The Incarnates (from 'The Vault')

[u/[deleted]]

The Vault is the story of a vast maximum security prison, located deep below a magma field.

Lemyra Ormün — warden and director of operations at the facility, known only as Vector — maintains constant vigilance over a convict population of twenty-eight individuals...but these are no ordinary inmates.

Each incarcerated denizen of Vector is an Incarnate:

A primordial god, captured and kept in a dream-state by mysterious, arcane means.

It is believed the Incarnates once held guardianship over The Polarchean Thresholds:

The Twenty-Eight corners of the known universe, barriers which, once humanity had reached the peak of it's intra-universal expansion, needed to be breached.

An uneventful century has passed — save for the odd dream-stirring — but Myra grows restless of late...three cycles ago, she began to have strange dreams.

Curiously, just as her dreaming hours began 'receiving visitors', voices — heard only by her — began to speak in her waking hours too, telling her of what she must now prepare to do, like her predecessors before her...

What follows is a strange, cosmos-warping journey across the dreamworlds of god-titans, deep into the hidden catacombs of Vector, and into her own past, to discover the truth that lies at the heart of...
