| - | The Circle of Embers began on March 22nd of 2016, when a gathering took place in the lobby, due to cataclysmic events on Alpha's Realm. Not only were all the old worlds sealed off from the gathering, but the new coal portal, which had stood there for roughly a week, was still dormant. Suddenly, while gazing upon the coal, [[people:awildvulpix|AWildVulpix]] had a vision. Vulpix began to shout "Awaken the Coal!" repeatedly, before several others joined in. Afterwards, Vulpix and [[people:niller1703|Niller1703]] proceeded to have more visions. They began to reveal the existence of a benevolent being known as The Mighty Coal, and its doctrines, as well as several ways to pay tribute to this omnipotent being. They told prophecies that, upon the ignition of The Mighty Coal, they would be let forth into a promised land, where they would find bounty and wealth. Thus, the Circle of Embers was born. | + | The Circle of Embers began on March 22nd of 2016, when a gathering took place in the lobby, due to cataclysmic events on Alpha's Realm.

| There is a ritual among the Embers of the Circle known as the "Removal Ritual" involving consuming large amounts of water, and possibly even hurting one's self by going without air while consuming it. The purpose of this ritual is to symbolize two things, removal of water, an extinguisher of flame, to show there is no way to oppose the great flames of The Mighty Coal, and to show that an Ember's inner blaze is so strong that no amount of water can quench it. | There is a ritual among the Embers of the Circle known as the "Removal Ritual" involving consuming large amounts of water, and possibly even hurting one's self by going without air while consuming it.

| The Demon Ifnurot is a demon who has taken control of the Lobby's Tourist Information booth. It has sealed the building, preventing the embers from getting inside and anointing the final torch of the Lobby. Ifnurot is also considered to attempt to seal away wisdom and knowledge from the Embers, as well as intercept messages from The Mighty Coal, so as to deprive the Embers of guidance. | The Demon Ifnurot is a demon who has taken control of the Lobby's Tourist Information booth.

| + | |||
| + | === Sol === | ||
| + | Sol, also known as the sun, is the greatest agent of The Mighty Coal as well as one of its greatest gifts. Sol is a coal of massive proportions. He was placed in the sky by The Mighty Coal to provide light and life for the Embers. Day represents the glory and love of The Mighty Coal, whereas night represents that, while The Mighty Coal burns hotter than all things, it never burns hot enough to harm its subjects, as it is ever benevolent, and without malice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Lun === | ||
| + | Lun, also known as the moon, is a subject of The Mighty Coal charged with providing light during the night, when Sol is at rest. While Lun does not provide heat as Sol does, nor does she provide as much light as Sol, it is there to represent that, even if a coal burns low, that doesn't mean it possesses little power, as it can be reignited, as well as used to create more coal. | ||
