Arborea
Step into the role of Irrabel.
Raised at Cinder Abbey.
Dutiful. Disciplined.
Trained to carry responsibility without spectacle.
Still an initiate of the Frequencist order,
she is deployed to Arborea Island,
into something never meant to be approached,
let alone understood.
Old bonds resurface.
Atargate Robotics goes deeper.
Main characters
Isabel
Orphan of Cinder Abbey.
Known as Irrabel on Arborea.
Access personnel file
Born Izabela Zurowicz on Sept 30th 1987.
When the Wall fell, she lost everything.
The orphan is later known as Irrabel on Arborea,
an Anubel in Ancient Egypt due to her projected shape.
Raised at Cinder Abbey by the Frequencists.
Sent to face hell.
Only steel returns intact.
Now an astral agent moving through fractured realities,
she infiltrates Atargate Robotics
to contain what should have remained sacred.
She finds it stripped of restraint,
handed to Wellerman Mining Corps.
Dividends were promised.
Now they’re due.
Dr. Hexane
Prodigy orphan of Cinder Abbey.
Head of Erradium Research.
Access personnel file
Born Anja Hexanović. The prodigy orphan watched her world burn during the Yugo wars at only seven, then taken in by Cinder Abbey where she grew up alongside Isabel.
Never invited to take the vows, she chose another path. If doctrine wouldn’t open the Astral plane, science would force it.
Backed by Father Erras, she rose fast inside Atargate Robotics. Now leading Erradium research, she drives the Advanced Formula.
Not to pray to the Astral plane, but to tear it open, hold it steady, and keep going past the point most would stop.
Whether that makes her dangerous or necessary is no longer her concern.
Sister Ada
Cinder Abbey Instructor.
Steel before faith.
Access personnel file
Drifter.
Drug addict.
Thief.
After hitting the darkest place, she found the light and took the vows to keep it from going out.
Lagging behind in the astral ways, she taught the orphanage girls what doctrine never covers:
how to take a hit, stand back up, hit back harder and survive the world from the wrong side of the mirror.
With Isabel and Anja at Cinder Abbey, she was dealt daughters instead of forgiveness.
And she played the hand.
Father Erras
Frequencist Scholar.
Bridge between doctrine and industry.
Access personnel file
An influential Frequencist, and necessary bridge between doctrine and industry.
The Order was built on the Horizon and the Astral medium. They understood balance.
What they underestimated was leverage.
And they did not expect Arborea.
Beneath the island lay a concentration of a mineral long considered theoretical.
Erras recognized its potential and named it Erradium, as devotion crossed into claim.
Erradium opened the door.
Hidden agendas kicked it wide open.
Everything after crossed the redline.
Doctrine failed. Appetite didn’t.
Bethany
Senior Research Associate.
Erradium, Below Horizon.
Access personnel file
As Dr. Hexane’s most trusted assistant, she learned every limit, then waited for the moment to cross them.
What lies Below the Horizon is not chaos to her. It’s a threshold.
With the Wellerman Mining Corps complicit, she opens it slowly. Carefully.
To hear it respond.
Not to understand.
Not to contain.
To make it scream… and comply.
Her plan is already in motion.
When it surfaces, intent no longer matters.
Arborea Island
Remote. Geologically unstable. Strategically ignored.
Arborea Island was long dismissed as a marginal landmass.
Fog-bound, mineral-poor, culturally irrelevant.
Until surveys began to contradict doctrine.
Beneath its basalt layers lies a concentration of a mineral once considered theoretical.
A substance the Frequencists had referenced only in abstract terms of balance and projection.
The island changed hands quietly.
Infrastructure followed.
Research began.
Something answered.
MANIFESTATIONS
Trained Frequencists project their Manifestations into the Echo Dimensions.
They act as observers and executors in those pocket universes
where the Astral medium fractures and reality distorts.
When Manifestations crossed,
they were first welcomed as emissaries of the gods.
The rupture began when the medium was forced to answer:
The occult. Dark rituals.
The Frequencist Order came into being to seal that access as a lid.
Centuries passed. At the turn of the millennium, Arborea was discovered.
Containment stopped being enough.
It was called the Breach.
 AFTER THE BREACH
Atargate Robotics calls it development.
Wellerman Mining Corps calls it opportunity.
The Frequencist order adapted.
Projection was no longer enough.
Training Expanded
Combat. Infiltration. Counter intelligence. Weapons.
Spiritual discipline met industrial reality.
And you, Irrabel, stand at the intersection.
You are sent to contain what industry has forced to answer.
Good luck, Irrabel.
On Arborea, nothing remains untouched.
Calling her Irrabel is more than a nickame. Is it a portmanteau?
