The Realm Eye, located in the Cursed Library, will answer a single question after being freed from the Corruption Phantom. The Realm Eye is stated to accept ~250 different prompts, and will provide backstory and insight on whatever they are prompted with. This page serves as a documentation of all of their accepted inputs and their responses.
Note: As of now, the content on this page is incomplete due to it not yet being released on production servers and is subject to change.
Realm
Long before there was ever a need for the Nexus, the realm’s main continent was inhabited by all manner of civilizations, from lowly goblin clans to sophisticated human kingdoms.
Some factions warred with each other while others strayed from coflict. The full history of the realm is far greater than I could ever recite.
This all changed when Oryx rose to power. Although he seldom demonstates it these days, the full extent of his rage-induced fury can obliterate the mightiest cities in moments.
Your kind opposed him and fled to the Nexus. Everyone else had abandoned the realm, save for those savage enough to survive under such conditions.
Nexus
The Nexus was built by your kind as a sanctuary from the looming threat of Oryx’s wrath. Though rather sloppy in its first forms, expansions over the years have made it quite a spectacle.
To be certain of their safety, the old heroes knew the only way to escape the Mad God’s control of the realms was to be in none at all.
A gateway was opened to the realm between realms, an empty dimension never before inhabited by living creatures.
Being the only place in the known universe not bound to a realm, it is outside of Oryx’s control. It is for this same reason that I cannot go there myself, for my all-seeing vision would not work in such a place.
Abyss Idol
The tormented demons of the underworld created a golden idol from what little valuable ore could be found in the abyss, enchanting it with fiery magic.
They worship the effigy as a protector that will one day liberate their souls from damnation.
Agonized Titan
The Agonized Titan was the first of many iterations of the Marble Colossus. It endured tremendous pain throughout countless inhumane experiments.
A number of major flaws with the soul infusion process rendered it weak and cowardly, so it was recycled as a test dummy for other experimental magic techniques.
Forcing additional souls into a body which already possesses a living soul is considered highly taboo, as it inflicts intense pain upon the spirit within.
Arachna
Arachna was once a beautiful maiden whose talent in weaving and crafts were unrivaled. Envious, Oryx had challenged her to weave a greater tapestry than he could.
Oryx did not actually know the first thing about weaving, and transmogrified Arachna into a hideous spider in a poor attempt to hide this fact.
Argus
Argus was a leader of the necromantic organization assembled for research in the Lost Halls.
He specialized in the destabilizing magic, a necessary component for extracting souls from living bodies.
After the Void Entity took control of the Marble Colossus, he and his four remaining associates retreated beneath the facility to hide from the calamity.
Avalon the Archivist
Avalon served as the director of this library. His love of literature was second only to his passion for sharing those works with others.
He did not fall victim to the curse directly, but watching his life’s work be overrun and ruined was enough to break his resolve.
His enthusiasm for sharing intellect evolved into obsessive protection of his collection. Such a wise soul did not deserve this fate.
Avatar of the Forgotten King
After being trapped in his castle, forgotten by his own sentinel, the king of the Shatters knew he would need to begin his assault on the realm with a more indirect approach.
The Twilight Archmage’s magic granted the king the ability to project a spiritual manifestation of himself into the realm.
The many horrors of this avatar are actually a much truer depiction of the king’s inner madness. His mind is lost in his own delusions of grandeur, and his soul is lost to even darker forces.
Balaam
In myths, Balaam is said to be a demon lord with flawless knowledge of both past and future events. However, this is little more than a fable.
His only true existence is an image made reality by the will of Malus. The force known as Azamoth brought this desire into the physical plane.
Basaran
Basaran was a leader of the necromantic organization assembled for research in the Lost Halls.
He specialized in ice magic, which combined with the fire magic of Malus to produce a neutral compound used for binding ethereal souls.
After the Void Entity took control of the Marble Colossus, he and his four remaining associates retreated beneath the facility to hide from the calamity.
Beehemoths
The strongest warriors from each of the Killer Bee Queen’s three distinct races of children were chosen as protectors of the colony known as the B-Team.
Knighted by the queen herself, each Beehemoth is tasked with overseeing the development and spread of nest construction by thousands of worker bees.
Their greatest calling is to protect the nerve center of the colony from invaders, ensuring the queen’s safety in her own massive nest.
Beekeeper
Dr. Terrible surely hails from a realm far more advanced than ours, yet he seemed quite pleased with himself when he and his lab appeared one day.
The mad doctor is utterly fascinated by everything in this realm, enthralled by even the most basic alchemy despite his own witchcraft being leagues more advanced.
When Oryx approached him with an offer to help with his research in exchange for scientific services, he agreed without hesitation.
Bes
Along with Nut and Geb, Bes is one of the oldest deities in the realm. In ancient times, he was a protector of the innocent and god of war.
As time passed, they were slowly forgotten and abandoned by most worshippers. Angered by this betrayal, the trio became wrathful.
To prevent the old gods from clashing with the new, their former acolytes now perform inhibition ceremonies on sarcophagi, trapping them in the sands of time.
Biff
The rabbits of the realm are known to wield unexpected power when aggravated, but Biff’s enragement far surpasses that of any other bunny.
He took a liking to Easter eggs in his youth. When he discovered that humans shatter them for fun, he became uncontrollably livid.
Even Oryx harbors a grudge against Biff, as he often interferes with the Mad God’s attempts to destroy every chicken egg in the realm.
Bonegrind
As Oryx’s head chef, Bonegrind supplies his master with hefty helpings of poultry.
Not only does this diet help sustain his bulky frame, but the Mad God also finds it mildly therapeutic for his chicken phobia.
Bonegrind is a bit bothered that his position does not earn him an official spot in Oryx’s court, but his loyalty has not wavered.
Crystal Prisoner
The Crystal Prisoner was once acclimated to a life of riches as the queen of the kingdom now known as the Shatters
When the king was consumed by the Void Entity’s influence, the royal guards made a shady deal with Bilgewater’s crew to transport her to the mainland.
Her passage to the realm was safe, but she was soon captured by Oryx as she rode her steed further inland.
Although trapped inside a prison of her own queenly gemstones, some believe the void had already managed to taint her soul.
Daichi
Daichi leads the monk clan dwelling among the realm’s mountain peaks. He sacrifices the souls of anyone who would dare trespass upon his temple to the demon lord Xil.
These demonic dealings got him exiled from the brotherhood he once belonged to, permanently marking him with his disgraced title.
He is now only served by his loyalist who renounced their former monasticism and pledged servitude to Xil.
Decaract
Oryx crunched the numbers and figured that if a creation with five towers kills some people, then a creation with ten towers should kill twice as many people. Thus the Decaract was born.
The Mad God’s math was blatantly wrong, but not in the way anyone expected. In fact, his new creation was so unimaginably effective at killing that Oryx was unable to tell what was happening.
He had to deliberately weaken his own murderous masterpiece just so he could decipher what made it so potent in the first place. He has yet to replicate its success.
Desire Troll
Desire Trolls are mythical beings said to toy with the hopes and dreams of those who cross them.
Their mischievous spells tamper with the vision of others, causing figments of their imagination to seemingly materialize before them.
Evil Chicken God
The Evil Chicken God is Neither evil nor a god. Oryx only labels it as such to intimidate new adventurers.
Oryx is continually perplexed by how many heroes have the bravery to face the fearsome fowl head-on.
Fountain Spirit
The living spirits offered in the fountain of the Magic Woods breathed life into the waters.
Dozens of souls became a single entity allowing the humans to transform into ageless fairies.
In doing so, they forfeited their independent consciousness in favor of the fountain possessing all of their combines spirits.
Giant Oryx Chicken
Seeking a way to weaken Oryx remotely, the wizards and sorcerers of the Nexus came together to reverse engineer pet-stasising magic for use against the Mad God.
The project was a success, but since transformative magic requires such immense energy, the spell can only be activated once a year for a brief period of time.
Oryx is still a remarkable gladiator even in this form, but due to his secret fear of chickens, this ordeal is deeply traumatizing for him.
Gigacorn
Fables tell of Gigacorns once being used as the steed of choice for military generals, but were hunted to near extinction by rival barbarians.
The survivors of the species were sent to gradually repopulate in the Candyland, a place seldom touched by hunters at the time.
The imposing might of Gigacorns serves to remind predators of their illustrious history as powerful war horses.
Gulpord
The magic residue of the countless spells cast throughout the realm has seeped into the ground over time, often penetrating deep enough to fall into the sewers.
This indeterminable mixture of various forms of magic combined inside the putrid sewer sludge, granting sentience to an unholy abomination.
The Slime Gods of the realm originate from the same mire as Gulpord, but have turned brown from picking up other filth as they shamble around.
Ivory Wyvern
Oryx experimented with creating a fifth elemental dragon to control non-elemental magic.
He fused a Magic Sprite into a newly captured dragon, but since it was not born of stone like the other four, it went rogue.
After breaking free from Oryx’s control, the masterless dragon sought to hoard not just riches, but the powers of his brethren.
By inheriting all four dragon souls, the Ivory Wyvern could wield all four elements and control the land without Oryx or Limon to stop him.
Janus
The Court of Oryx was created to allow Oryx’s shadowy cabal to meet more easily, but it needed a guardian to keep unwanted mortals out.
Oryx, in a drunken stupor, pulled the door leading to the court out of the stone walls and breathed sinister life into it, turning it into Janus the Doorwarden.
Oryx sealed Janus itself behind a wall of stone to be safe, although as a god of doorways it can easily pry the wall open should some intruders vandalize the castle.
Lord Ruthven
Lord Ruthven is an adept practitioner of the dark arts, specializing in magic which distorts or steals from the life essence of others.
He loyally serves Oryx, spearheading many of the Mad God’s most wicked plans. It was him who created the very curse which brought this library to its knees.
Most famously, Ruthven is responsible for the supernatural phenomenon known as “lag.” None know how this magic works, but it is wildly effective at killing.
Lost Sentry
After the cultists turned to using the souls of unwilling prisoners, golems became more resistant and aggressive.
The Lost Sentry is the only golem to ever escape the Lost Halls. It is inhabited by the spirit of the Red Outlaw, a notorious bandit of his time.
Although the Red Bandit is only concerned with maintaining his perfect track record of escaping every prison he has ever been in, the Spectral Sentry used the escape opportunity to guard the catacombs.
Marble Colossus
The Marble Colossus is product of years of research and development for a perfect weapon against Oryx.
Like all golems, it is powered and operated by a soul inside of it. However, it was seized at the very last moment by the Void Entity and is now controlled by much darker forces than intended.
Should the weaponized titan ever make its way out of the Lost Halls, it would lay waste to the realm.
Marble Defender
The Marble Defender is one of the later iterations of the Marble Colossus, designed with an emphasis on protection rather than assaulting.
Inhabited by the spirit of a wise warrior, he witnessed the corruption of the Lost Halls when the Void Entity set his plan into motion.
As the cultists hid and the church leaders fled to seal the chambers, the Marble Defender knew he must be the one to keep the Marble Colossus locked up.
Master Rat
The Master Rat is an enigmatic man whose life forever changed when he was turned into a rodent. His riddles are complex. But not without answer.
(players will then get one of these 5 prompts):
If you are asked “How do you like your pizza?”, it is in your best interest to answer with “Extra cheese, hold the anchovies.”
If you are asked “What is fast, quiet and hidden by the night? “, it is in your best interest to answer with “A ninja of course!”
If you are asked “Where is the safest place in the world? “, it is in your best interest to answer with “Inside my shell.”
If you are asked “Who did this to me?”, it is in your best interest to answer with “Dr. Terrible, the mad scientist.”
If you are asked “What time is it?”, it is in your best interest to answer with “It’s pizza time!”
Oryx
The story of the Mad God is longer than most others. Are you certain this is the tale you would like me to discuss?
(player replies “yes”)
Very well. Though much of the written documentation of Oryx’s past has been erased out of resentment, my memory still serves.
Oryx began as a champion from the shattered kingdom, quickly gaining notoriety as a gladiator of unrivaled skill and might.
It was not long before his prowess as a warrior was known throughout the realm’s many kingdoms. He was granted immense fame and power by those who requested his service as a knight.
Oryx was satisfied for a time. Praise and adoration surrounded him from every corner of the realm, some even hailing him as a god among mortals.
This endless acclaim made him increasingly boastful. Coupled with his alcoholic tendencies, Oryx began to act irrationally, consumed by the fear of losing his status.
In his arrogance, he secretly turned to dark forces such as Shaitan and Lord Ruthven, the very adversaries he had become famous for defeating.
Together, they devised a wicked incantation which would forever change the realm and ensure Oryx’s sovereignty remain untouched.
Traditionally, due to forces beyond the understanding of even the gods, those who fight for just and righteous causes are able to return from the dead after falling in battle.
Oryx’s crowning achievement flipped this force on its head. Instead, any living being which fights against those who oppose Oryx’s authority are granted this power to cheat death.
Those who stand up to his reign, such as yourself, have consequently inherited the curse of permanent death.
All who attempt to kill your kind are shielded by this enchantment, even those who do not necessarily align themselves as a direct ally of Oryx.
Oryx has henceforth beared the mock title of Mad God by your people, a final act of spite against his insatiable ego which cost the realm its freedom.

Abyss of Demons
The depraved depths of the abyss were made by Archdemon Malphas. At first it was nothing more than a personal shelter, but it soon became the home of many demons.
The souls of the wicked are disposed of in the realm’s lava fissures, left to endure an agonizing eternity together.
Strictly speaking, Archdemon Malphas is the ruler of these lesser demons since he created the chambers. But in reality, he suffers just as much as them.
Battle for the Nexus
With the aid of a traitorous adventurer, Oryx managed to infiltrate the Nexus itself on one fateful day.
The Mad God took full advantage of this opportunity and struck the supposed safe haven with an ambush of unrivaled aggression.
Time quite literally stood still that day. The moment of this infamous event is still accessible by heroes daring enough to defend the Nexus itself.
Beachzone
Far off the realm’s coasts is a tiny, tropical island so negligible that it does not appear on the maps of most cartographers.
It was a highly exclusive vacation spot for the elite classes of ancient times, but Oryx’s reign drove out most noblemen.
Forgotten by all but the most determined explorers, it is now indefinitely reserved for just a single patron.
Belladonna’s Garden
Horrified by the careless treatment of the realm’s flora, Belladonna escaped to an unharmed forest to shield herself with a thick wall of foliage.
But it was not enough. To strengthen the defenses, Belladonna embedded her roots into the soil to sprout a virtually impregnable tree barrier.
Now permanently stuck in her grove, she has had time for her loving heart to harden into intense hatred for all who recklessly stamp down upon her kind.

Sword of Acclaim
Should a mortal live a noble life and die a heroic death, this blade will be made by the gods of metallurgy and given to their lineage as a memento of their glory.
Alas, Oryx would go on to confiscate each and every one of these swords from their rightful owners, perhaps in some ill-minded attempt to claim their worth.
The Realm Eye
Guill
The man known as Guillermo is one whom I have studied closely, yet his ways still puzzle me. Though I sense no evil in his heart, he speaks of things even I am not aware of.
The begins he mentions are intriguing, yet troubling. He could very well just be soft in the head, but perhaps he is considerably wiser than he looks.
In either case, I would suggest some caution. If what he speaks is true, it is of great concern.
Craig
Craig is a sprite who left the Sprite World in search of a new life. His true name is over ten thousand letters long, but it’s pronounced exactly like “Craig,” so the name stuck.
His internship is filled with misfortune as he often suffers from Oryx’s drunken decisions, like when his residence was randomly rebuilt into Oryx’s new court.
In spite of his misgivings, he is optimistic about his career choice, yet somehow blissfully naive towards his boss’s conquest of the realm.
