The Continuum Device is a reality bending artifact in the lore of Dota 2.

Description
Locked away in the confines of the titular vault, the continuum device is capable of manipulating time and space to a great degree, whether it's used correctly or not.

As shown in the picture hereinabove, the floating Continuum Device consists of two rectangular octagon frames of metal, one of them being larger. The small frame is bound within the bigger frame, both of which twist in their middle without knotting themselves up. These frames twist themselves at different speeds depending on what's happening to it. It may also stop moving. At the middle of the device is an orb with multiple glowing lines on it. Akin to the two frames it's in, the lines move around its surface, depending on what's happening to the device. When the device stops moving, they all converge into one static horizontal line.

Functions and Features
Despite its boundless dimensional power, the Continuum Device is sealed in a mundane packaging. Packed in an ordinary box, the device is tucked in an exclusive and washable nylon drawstring pouch. One would expect such an item of great power to be sealed in an equally powerful box that's ensorcelled with the toughest binding magic, but this device is kept in the same type of packaging that comes with the typical home appliance. According to Aghanim, its packaging states that the device does not immediately destroy the universe plus it has loads of "fancy promotional language" that is written on it, which says nothing about the fragility of the device.

The continuum device has a myriad of buttons on it, despite them not appearing physically on the device. Aghanim accidentally pushed one of its buttons too hard (possibly its green button ) and summoned alternate versions of himself that diluted his power by subtracting his powers away from him and dividing it amongst the alternate Aghanims. However, he states that he pressed multiple buttons to open up an interdimensional can of Aghanim worms instead of just one button.

Besides being able to bend space and time to give the user the powers to shape infinite realities, and summoning alternate versions of the user from the multiverse should they tamper with the device, it's implied that it allows for interdimensional travel as well. Because of this, Aghanim sought out the continuum device to travel through space and time, possibly to eke out some power from the astral multiverse.

Continuum Forces
During his old warmongering days as Ares, Mars fought the forces of the Continuum in a centuries-long campaign, which he toppled alongside Dawnbreaker. It's possible that the Continuum's forces were the ones who protected the Continuum Device, which is why Mars and Valora fought through them to destroy that device.

As the guardian of what remains of the blasted Wood Tomo'kan, didn't take kindly to the further chaos that he brought to her turf. With "vile trickery", she trapped him in both her and the continuum vault where he would have been imprisoned for eternity. However, Aghanim's tampering with the continuum device caused unpredictable powers to accidentally free the Beast from both the Gleipnir and the Vault.

Morphology
Perhaps the most striking feature of the Primal Beast is his form, which mostly resembles the stegosaur. Starting from the head, the Primal Beast has fifteen pairs of plates, with three tiny plates after his eyes. The plates stood upright, but they progressively slanted to the side, starting at his tail. The skin between the plates is covered in shingle-like scales. Instead of the stegosaur's spiked tail, he has a blade-shaped pair of plates on his tail. It's interesting to note that the Beast shares the same color scheme (brown, ochre, and beige scales; blue eyes) and dinosaur theme with the Ancient Thunderhide, suggesting a relationship between the two dinosauroids.

This Primal Beast has an aspect of a simian's form in his massive humanoid forelimbs tipped with five clawed fingers on each hand, giving him the versatility of the primates. On his left arm, a claw mark can be seen as well as two missing scales next to it, possibly inflicted by an unknown attacker. Meanwhile, he has the legs and feet of saurischian dinosaurs, the latter of which awfully looks a lot like bird feet. He usually walks on these legs, but he doesn't mind walking on all fours like a gorilla via.

His head is an interesting curiosity. He has a small snout but a big mouth and an underbite, thanks to the weird teeth that grow outside of his mouth. His blue eyes are placed near the end of his snout, akin to a turtle. The Beast's upper teeth are a bit uneven, but his lower teeth are displaced and misaligned. Some of them even protrude beyond the jaw and jut out of his chin. He has two small nostrils at the front of his snout.

Powers
Crude and unsophisticated, the Primal Beast relies on no weapons or supernatural power, nor is he augmented by magery. He relies solely on his wild will and rage, brute strength, and natural talents. His roar can unleash a gale-force exhalation that's powerful enough to blow a Hill Troll Priest away.

His mere arrival imbued every denizen of the jungle with new power, as well as his savagery and aggressiveness which urges them to punish their longtime oppressors.

The Primal Beast's single-mindedness impels him to unleash am on a chosen victim, knocking away both friend and foe on his way to his prey.

His earth-shattering steps and the strength of his massive forelimbs allows him to everything near him.

's ability to accumulate damage based on incoming attacks is gameplay mechanics, but its lore tells to us that he tolerates no further attempts at subjugation, evident in the broken barding and chains on its body.

Sometimes you don't need magic to harness the strength of nature. does exactly what it says.

Grabbing an unfortunate victim within arm's reach, the single-minded Beast may project his fury on that victim and them until they're reduced to an unrecognizable mess of whatever they were made of. The strength of each slam reverberates beyond his target, spreading damaging shockwaves to those who think that they're spared from his grip.

Description
The great confluence is a cataclysmic terminus in time where the fabrics of multiple realities are fated to collide. Possibly because of the merging which destroys reality, one cannot see what will happen beyond this event. Nevertheless, this merging can be detected by a multitude of distortions in the void and will only occur once the Ancient is destroyed. The merging of the fabrics causes chaos and ripples of destruction to spread equally across all planes, as they contaminate each others' fabrics with their own.

Besides the destructive merging of fabrics, there is said to be some sort of war or conflict greater than the war of the Ancients that will occur in this event.

It's possible that one of Darkterror's portents about time might be referring to the great confluence. He analogized time as a river where many eddies spring from, these eddies possibly representing parallel outcomes or alternate paths in fate that arise from a single action (that single action being the river where they all come from), all of which eventually converge to the sea. The sea may represent the great confluence because it is much harder to see individual currents (which represents the flow of time and the parallel outcomes that spring and branch out from it) in a mass of water with no clear boundaries defining its shape.

Heroes
Among the four Celestial brothers, the is the one who is the most knowledgeable on and involved with this event. From the aether, he has foreseen the great confluence in the map of all time and sensed it through the distortions in his domain.

In light of this terminus, Inai has decided to step out of hiding and prevent the destruction that it will bring. His reasons for averting the confluence includes protecting the Hidden Temple (since it is located in a plane that's encompassed by this destructive terminus) as well as answering the call of his Celestial brothers. To face the threat, he has to rally a group of allies composed of friends, strange bedfellows, and enemies, as well as lead and unite his Celestial brothers or destroy them if necessary.

For aeons, he has carefully planned and prepared for this event despite not seeing or even knowing what events will happen beyond his sight's horizon, but regardless he has made every preparation for what he merely predicts will happen. has seen this event himself. It's implied that he has already seen this event long before Void Spirit was released (or in terms of lore, before Inai went out of hiding) since he often talks about an end time. It's possible that this event is his cause for participating in the war of the Ancients.
 * There are a few Heroes that Inai bothers asking for information about this event. These heroes include the who exists across all points in time,  and the otherworldly  with his far-seeing foresight.
 * There are a few Heroes that Inai bothers asking for information about this event. These heroes include the who exists across all points in time,  and the otherworldly  with his far-seeing foresight.

It's implied that the knows about this event, and it may be the same threat that he has been anticipating for aeons. He has participated in the war of the Ancients because he senses that it is the source of a growing threat from within this world. He also seeks to end the war because it may serve as a catalyst for the arrival of another darker force.

Description
The void is very hard to define, let alone comprehend, but we do know that it is a lot of things, despite it being absolutely nothing.

It was the Void that predated creation, existence, and time. It also existed before the spirit itself. Before it even had a sense of self, a voice, or a comprehensible form, the void was able to bear witness to the creation of the Titan's shattered world in its entirety. It witnessed the Titan's arrival, the schism that made the four fundamental forces, felt the reverberations of his hammer's blow, saw the expanse of time, felt the fugitive Ezalor's flight from his brother,  and all other succeeding events in time 'till the great confluence.

Although the void is the absence of anything, the void is also omnipresent. It encompasses everything, from the threads that compose fate's weave to the omnipresent force that is known as Io who permeates all planes of existence at once. It even exists within every being.

According to itself, the void states that it is a mirror. The void also has its own fabric. It is also home to an infinitude of "possibilities" within itself.

Despair and nihilism are often associated with the void. Those who are of the void usually display these two as aspects of their character.

The Void = Astral Plane?
Evidence of this void and the astral plane being one and the same is strong. What they both have in common is that they are home to infinite realities and dimensions and may contain reflections of the self.

As previously stated, infinite possibilities can be found in the void. Perhaps these endless possibilities are synonymous with the endless futures and outcomes that spring from our own actions, creating alternate realities where one might have chose this or that. This speculation might give some context on Inai's statement of the void being a mirror, since it has the infinite reflections of our universe--a multiverse full of parallel universes. Supporting this evidence are the astral powers of the Outworld Destroyer and Chaos Knight, both of which are related to the void in their lore. One of Inai's astral abilities also has some clues on the void and the astral plane being one and the same. The Astral Plane shares several characteristics with the void. Like the void, the astral plane is a mirror. Trusted accounts on astral experiences in the Academy Library always mention a strange reflection of one's self, an oddly-distorted quintessence that resembles the beholder. This fact may further blur this line between the void and the astral plane since both of them are mirrors.
 * Harbinger's banishes victims into the Void—the pocket between this world and the Outworld—to be imprisoned and realize their infantile knowledge and mortality. If this imprisonment is astral in nature, then the Void might have something to do with the astral plane.
 * When meeting the Chaos Knight, the inquisitive Grimstroke will conjecture that the source of his s is the aether. This connects with the evidence of the void being the home of the multiverse, because the ability's description states that these ethereal phantasms come from many planes, many worlds, and many times—all of them possibly sourced from the aether's infinite possibilities.
 * As the name suggests, Inai's is related to the astral plane. Inai tears a rift through said plane to appear at a chosen location in the mortal plane, causing a trail of ruin in its wake. In this astral plane, a small step for Inai can cause great devastation in this world. Descriptions aside, Inai also goes through the void to use this ability,  suggesting that the astral plane that this ability goes through is also the void.

Also, the astral plane is home to the infinite multiverse, just like the void. Aghanim states that the Astral Plane has countless dimensions, each dimension having an alternate version of this reality. This plane is the Void Spirit's cosmic vantage point, because he can see the map of all time in there, allowing him to observe every nook and cranny of all existence and beyond. Said map appears as lines that streak across the astral plane. Since Inai sees all of reality from said plane, it's possible that the void he dwells in IS the astral plane.

Magic
The void is an essential ingredient in magic. Without it, there could be no magic at all. Essential and vital though it may be, aether is not the only ingredient, for it shares that status with mana, the Primordial harmony, and the Nether Reaches, of which is said to be the source of all sorceries.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Nothingness is briefly alluded to by Slyvion (the intermediate form betwixt Davion and Slyrak that is controlled by the latter) in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, in the 4th episode "The Monster At The End Of This Book" of Book One. Captured by Kaden and enchained in the heart of a Dragon Knight redoubt, Slyvion warns Kaden of the consequences in destroying an Eldwurm. If he were to kill Slyrak, he would also be toppling a pillar of creation. This would also destroy existence as we know it: time and space, the Manifold Forms, the pillars of order and chaos, all gone. The infinite macrocosms will be destroyed with no renewal to follow. And not even nothing will exist.

Slyrak mentions it once again, this time referring to it as the void. Following Auroth's instructions to return to the shard of Radiant Ore in her hoard, as well as Fymryn's advice on one's duality, Davion embraces its influence. Deep in some sort of mental existence, he finds himself in a fiery red wasteland filled with naught but barren earth and skies of Dark clouds that are prone to lightning and thunder, a place where Slyrak has been waiting for him. He says that the place they're in is beyond the void.

Byssrak, the Void Eldwurm, is related to the Void since he's the counterpart of Enigma, a being of void and shadow. Besides the similarity, he and his subordinate void dragons, such as the rogue eldwurm Kashurra, are the embodiments of the dark desolation between the stars as well as the force of gravity. Hence, their powers include creating a black rift that can also act as a shield, manipulating the pressure of gravity on objects to great effect, umbral orbs that can shoot dark tendrils or destructive energy beams, and much more.

The Spirit of the Void
Inai the is nothingness itself and its soul. The human form that we are used to seeing is just his corporeal body in this plane. His own form is always shielded by the void and it is filled with nothingness.

Naturally, nonexistence is incompatible with existence. Hence, he's weakened in our plane, but he can still draw power from the void and only he can draw upon strength from it. When Inai draws more voidal power, he becomes more himself, eventually achieving balance. He returns to this aether when his corporeal form is slain, if not his Hidden Temple. From there, the void lends its fabric to reform his body before he reappears from the void or his Hidden Temple and into our world once more. In the terrene plane, travelling through the void is his preferred means of travel.

Voidal Powers
Focusing an infinitesimal fraction of his true self into our world, the void projects another aspect of itself besides Inai, giving rise to an. These remnants provide personal vision and surveillance for Inai. These remnants also dwell in and protect the Hidden Temple, where they are known to their adherents as the Hidden Ones. Some of Inai's shadows are thirty feet tall and brim with loads of magic.

Retreating into his true self, Inai returns to the void through a ring of portals which s his body. From the void, he can choose to reassemble and return thru any of his portals, allowing him to mix up his attacks or simply reposition himself.

The void protects itself, lending its essence to Inai and shrouding him in nothingness  while releasing a damaging. The void shield nullifies all incoming attacks. Apparently, it is mistaken for a shield of darkness, which isn't the case according to Inai.

Tearing a rift through the astral plane, Inai takes a small through his home realm. A small step for Inai in the infinite astral plane is a vast expanse of destruction in its shadow the material plane

Heroes
Those who are of the void will not be "claimed" by it.

This is an image projected into our world by his true eternal self in the cold infinite void outside time. It is implied that his is an aura that brings others into the frozen void that is his home, according to its description.

and his protege Wei can unleash a  to destroy magic users with their depleted mana. It is possible that this ability unleashes the void that exists within everyone to work its power.

When meeting the, the inquisitive will ask if his  spell works by either releasing the phantasms from within his body or by summoning the phantasms from the aether. The dark rider has yet to answer this speculative question, but it's interesting that Grimstroke brought up that possibility.

Brothers of the Void Spirit, and, referenced nothingness long before Inai arrived to participate in the war of the Ancients. A Celestial who's included in the great wheel, Kaolin believes that creation springs from nothingness. He also states that he does not fear the Void. Xin believes that nothingness encompasses all of existence, possibly referencing his eldest brother's omnipresence.

is an entity of the void. His form (also known as his pattern) is assembled from void and shadow. The aether is one of the many states of existence that he returns to once he dies. When dies, he seeks to be commended to the void.
 * Most of his abilities include the void, such as his which slowly descends a section of the world into the void. A  creates eidolons out of his victims, but sometimes they spring from a.

The 's is a vortex of nonfinite night, the deepest void spawned by this most terrible darkness. It's a space where no light or hope can emerge from, which tears its victims into the lost but eternal darkness that once reigned the cosmos. The spiritual remnants of his late kin still haunt the edges of the void, but Balanar may summon them by using himself as their dark focus into our world. Inai tells him to respect the Void Spirit as his elder, suggesting at a relationship between Balanar, his kin, and the void.

Hailing from the Outworld, Harbinger the is a powerful being who patrols the rim of the Void for the threats beyond. Besides his home realm, Harbinger draws upon the same Void that he patrols to work his powers. His banishes his victims to the Void—a pocket between our world and the Outworld. Imprisoned in this darkness, visitants realize their mortality and inferior knowledge. The self-assembling crystals of the Outworld, also capable of Astral Imprisonment, are said to be the embodiments of the Void. Unused responses for his suggests that it draws upon the Void to work its powers. Horrifying to its vistants, the Void is merely a place of reflection and peace to the Master of the Void.

Judging by the name, may have wings that are of the aether. Said wings exist in a realm slightly offset from the rest of its form, causing its molts to be unsynchronized from its body and randomly change its forms.

Dragonus the is well-schooled in aetherial matters and mastery. He wields an aetherial crescent wand that allows him to harness and capture the intangible and subtle powers of nature. It's unknown if this aethereal stuff pertains to the void rather than the stuff of the heavens such as the stars and the skies (much like the real-life element of aether), so it will be included here just in case.

The dangerous but beautiful arms of the originates from flowing darkness and unknown aethers.

Gods
Victims of the Dead God's legions are thrown into its yawning pit—the belly of the great nothing—to hear the Dirge and be utterly consumed into nothingness. The mortal that would soon become the was thrown into the darkness alongside his comrades, and he would have been destroyed were it not for the Dead God reprieving him to give him a new purpose: to spread the Dirge beyond and rally the dead to war versus the living.

Characters
When Aghanim uses his abilities in battle, he will exclaim that his powers are from beyond the void, even though there is nothing outside the void (although this may just mean that there is indeed nothing outside the nothing). Given the context behind the line, his power could actually be from beyond the astral plane and its infinite multiverse. This also shows that the astral plane and the void are one and the same. He mentions this void once again in his Continuum Conundrum (this time as the "aether") and states that he was busy with lots of things while he was in the aether.

Ash the Defiler is a nihilist who lives in the Weald of Torment at the heart of nature. He believes that the professed state of order that is an entity's existence and the nonexistence that they return to once they are destroyed are functionally no different.

Items
Judging by the name, the may have something to do with the aether.

The is a weapon wielded by the Spirit Wardens of the Korumite. Inai has a specific voiceline for this item, implying the item's possible relation to the void.

According to Inai, only the is capable of containing the void. Perhaps he's referring to the fact that it can store runes, which may have their source in the void.

The valuable was recovered by a young explorer who found it amongst the drifting flotsam and detritus in the void.

Pulsing with energy, the is an article of jewelry that was once used to channel nether realm magic. Its name suggests that it has something to do with the void.
 * Interestingly, this stone has connections with two sources of magic: the Nether and the void. This may imply a connection between the Nether Reaches and the aether.
 * That being said, oblivion and nothing are synonymous, which may mean that the Nether's Arts of Oblivion may have something to do with the void too.

Description
The existence of this universe and many other worlds just like ours are all supported by this essential fabric of creation. Any damages done to it will eventually result in the unravelling of the weave, thus unmaking entire worlds if it's neglected. Hence it is the work of the Weavers to repair the worn spots in the pattern and maintain its pristine condition by keeping it tightly woven and unfaded, as well as defending it from the otherworldly pests that gnaw and lay their eggs in the frayed regions of their tapestry, whose brood can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Although it is the job of the Weavers to maintain the fabric, it was the Loom who created the threads that form the whole fabric that encompasses all.

Wide though it may be, the fabric of one reality ends at its seams where it is joined with the edge of another fabric. These seams of reality are also known as the "twist between worlds" which may or may not be the same as the "web between worlds" that an aspect of Spectre is knowledgeable about. The fabric of reality also acts as a barrier between the planes. Speaking of the twist between worlds, this twist might also be the maze between realities mentioned in Dark Seer's lore.

It seems that the weave itself may be dangerous to the Weavers and others who are made of it, since they can be caught and entangled in their own weaves or its threads.

Threads and Fabrics
The fabric of reality is a very complex structure, woven by both young and experienced Weavers alike with varying levels of skill. There are a lot of threads that constitute the weave, but there are only a few of them that are known. It would appear that each of these threads are woven into their own unique fabric rather than all of them being woven into one whole heterogeneous weave. Here are the following threads and their respective fabrics:
 * The threads of time that compose time's weave. A timeline might be a pattern composed of time threads. These threads may also compose the fabric of spacetime.
 * Akin to a tightrope, Weavers can crawl forward and backwards in time by creeping along the threads of time.
 * Weavers can also travel through the vast fabric of spacetime by using small wormholes that allows them to slip through time.
 * Opening a gap in the spacetime fabric causes young Weavers to slip forth, suggesting that they live in the this fabric.
 * Lastly, this weave of time may exist on an astral level, just like the astral Loom that might have woven it. According to Inai, the map of all time is in the astral plane, appearing as a multitude of lines that streak across said plane. It's possible that, from his perspective, he sees all of time as a bunch of lines rather than a weave made of threads.
 * The threads of strife, woven into the very fabric of conflict. The exiled Skitskurr plans to use these threads to create his soon-to-be realized pattern, sourcing it from the tatters of a future conflict. This conflict could possibly be the battle of the Ancients or even the anticipated war that will happen in the great confluence.
 * The predestined threads of fate. Struggling against fate will provoke a commensurate response.
 * The threads of life a.k.a. vital threads (which may or may not include the soul thread, a thread that is spooled rather than woven  ) which are woven into the patterns of life or spooled into a roll. Fate is what weaves the threads of everyone's lives together, but it also cuts them short with its blade.

Other Fabrics
There are also other kinds of fabrics in existence that have no known corresponding threads. Because of this, it's unknown if they are actually part of the cosmic tapestry, but, they will be listed here just in case.
 * The fabric of order
 * The fabric of the mind
 * The fabric of the void
 * The fabric of the Rift

The Great Confluence
The Great Confluence is a cataclysmic event in an unseeable point in the future where the fabrics of multiple realities are fated to collide and merge. It is portended by a multitude of distortions in the fabric of the void, followed by utter chaos and ripples of destruction that will spread throughout all planes of existence,  as well as the contamination of multiple fabrics with each other.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Spacetime was briefly alluded to by Slyvion (this intermediate form betwixt Davion and Slyrak that is controlled by the latter) in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, in the 4th episode "The Monster at the End of this Book" in Book One. Captured by Kaden and chained in the heart of a Dragon Knight redoubt, Slyvion forewarns him about the consequences in destroying an Eldwurm. If he were to kill Slyrak, he would also be toppling a pillar of creation. This would also destroy existence as we know it: time and space, the Manifold Forms, the pillars of order and chaos, all gone. The infinite macrocosms will be destroyed with no renewal to follow. And not even nothing will exist.

Keepers
A number of entities keep the fabric safe and maintain it. Only three of them are known, the best known ones being the Weavers, followed by the Loom and the unnamed guardians.

The Weavers are a species of extra-dimensional beetles who are charged with the protection and maintainment of the fabric. The best known member of these beetles is Skitskurr, the rogue, who was exiled from the pattern by the guardians after he tossed his duties aside to create his own fabric which pulled against the pattern that the great Loom had woven long ago. The broods of the Weavers dwell in the spacetime fabric. Weavers use the energies of creation to reweave the stuff of reality, but only once it's hot and malleable then it is ready to use.

Although it is the Weavers who protect and maintain the fabric of reality, it was the Loom that created it all. Only a few beings can use it to influence the pattern, which may include the Weavers and the guardians. The Loom exists on an astral level.

Lastly, the mysterious guardians are a group of beings who protect the fabric. All we know about these guardians is that they have scissors which they use to purge rogue patches that pull against the fabric of creation that the Loom had woven, and then repair that gap in the fabric by reweaving it–which was the case with Skitskurr and his attempt to create his own world. These guardians might be the personification of Fate that Weaver talks about, who also weaves threads together and cuts threads with a blade.

Heroes
As the Fundamental of gravity, can manipulate the fabric of spacetime. His most notable effect on spacetime is the gravitational version of time dilation as well as a pair of golden bracers that he acquired from Cedric that can manipulate the fabric of spacetime itself. Because of his extra-dimensional existence, Darkterror the can influence the very fabrics of reality, especially the fabric of spacetime. His vast powers over the fabric of spacetime includes his, which involves tearing a hole in time to pass into Claszureme before returning to the material plane in an instant. is a hole in spacetime that leads to his home world, its timeless stasis contained by a blister in spacetime that traps anyone unfortunate enough to be caught inside of it. He may also channel the fabric of the "Rift" to warp his intellect and form, but it is unknown if the Rift's fabric is included in the cosmic tapestry. These powers are just a few examples of his vast control over the fabrics of reality. seems to know his fate thread
 * Enigma frequently refers to his pattern which is implied to be his physical form that's made of void and shadow. It is unknown if his pattern refers to the fabric of reality itself (which implies that his form is made of the stuff of the cosmic fabric if this is the case). Apparently, his pattern is also his consciousness, which disappears when he dies.  This isn't permanent, though, because his pattern will eventually reform out of chaos.

's manipulates the structure of spacetime with waves of pink and orange energy (possibly the Chronoptic energies), destroying lesser beings around him.

discovered a simple trick that allowed him to manipulate four-dimensional space in order to affect the happenings in his own.

The fabric of our reality exerts a negative influence on the 's body, but he has the ability to warp it using so as to lessen its influence on his physical body. His powers over this fabric is further demonstrated by his brute strength which allows him to pry open the rifts between the worlds.

Having mastered the arts of the Dark Rift, the may use this foul magic to twist into the seams of reality to project his manifest hatred and malice, conjuring a bottomless  that paralyze anyone caught within it. His is a corrupted flame that is also conjured through the twist between worlds.

The true form of encompasses all with its omnipresence, including every thread of fate that was, is, and will be woven. When appearing unto the material universe he assembles his physical form from the fabric of the his true self.

The effect's of 's can manipulate space-time over a vast area, impairing entire armies.

Devices
The Lost Order is a defunct school of Mastery that was established before the apex of the Isle of Masks, who once had the skills to use their blades to pierce the fabric of reality. One of their lost swords resembles the, which is now in the 's hands.

The final issue of eleven generations of bladesmiths, Craler was an elder smith who completed his family's work in crafting a powerful sword that was sharp enough to tear holes in the fabric of reality, creating rifts that can be used for time travel. Tearing a rip in reality that lead to the past a few moments ago, he slew his past self who had just finished the blade and stole it from his past self, but was killed when his paradoxical past caught up to him. These twin blades were recovered by the who gave it to the  to aid her in her multiversal contract killing.

Cedric was an alchemist who crafted a pair of golden bracers capable of manipulating the spacetime fabric. After his dark conversion, it was taken by the Enigma.

Items
According to the Invoker's younger self, the  can cut through space.

Weaver found a just beyond the rift when he slipped through time. The appearance of such a weapon in time was shocking enough to be described as impossible.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * Marci is virtually mute to the point that she can't even make a sound like grunting or screaming while in pain. She can only whistle, snore,
 * According to her friend Mirana, she is very brave.

Allegiance
Like her closest friend, Marci belongs to the Dark Moon Order who worships Selemene. Her natural eye color is brown in the animated series, but she once had purple eyes like Mirana, Luna, and other worshippers of the moon goddess, suggesting that she was converted by Selemene herself or by the priests and priestesses of the Dark Moon.

Allies
Marci is the loyal companion of. She has been with her ever since their time in the Dark Moon Order, and follows her even in her goddess-imposed exile from the Order. She is trusted very much by Mirana, who usually lets out her inner feelings and thoughts only with Marci, who in turn listens to her always and knows just the right thing to say. She is her personal servant whose duties include spotting targets for Mirana while sniping, procuring their food, carrying her luggage, etc.

She first chanced upon the alongside Mirana and her mount Sagan. Despite her friend thinking otherwise, Marci was the one who kept suggesting to her that they should aid him, eventually recruiting Davion permanently in their band of Heroes. Marci has taken a liking to him ever since, even expressing visible disappointment when he was bestowed a magical set of armor that doesn't get destroyed by his draconic transformation, which always renders him naked.

Equipment
Marci carries a motley of her equipment on her while going on an adventure. She carries a telescope to suit her needs as Mirana's personal spotter, displaying impressive synergy with Mirana's archery skills.

Powersma
At a first glance, Marci's abilities are quite mundane for a Hero, but it is said that within her is a hidden power that is strong enough to make even the gods "reconsider the wisdom of a hostile path." Whether this means attacking her is ill-advised even for the gods or if it refers to her inner wisdom is unknown. According to Slyrak, she is said to be the wisest among all the mortals. Such is her normal strength that not even a pair of Gauntlets of Strength, which bestows brute strength to its wearer, can help Davion beat her in arm-wrestling.

's lore describes how Marci often removes "obstacles" out of her friend Mirana's path. One of the animations of this ability is a tomoe nage throw from jujutsu and Judo.

is a demonstration of her acrobatic skill. Using a friend or foe as a boost, she leaps off of them and rolls into a ball mid-air, before uncurling to slam the ground at her final destination with her burning fist. The energy in her fist might be the same hidden power mentioned in her lore.

Outside of gameplay, it's unknown what her does lorewise. The symbol of this spell is certainly a curiosity, as it resembles the symbol on one of Invoker's capes.

When activated, Marci es a hidden inner power that imbues her strikes with might. Her focused martial artist stance changes into that of a berserker's, which hints that the power changes her battle temperament. Any attempts to divine the source of her inner might are rejected by Marci, who happens to be mute. Or perhaps there is more to it than what it seems...

Trivia

 * Heavily inspired by the heat death of the universe, a hypothetical fate of the universe where it will achieve thermodynamic equilibrium. This is when the universe cools down to the point that all equilibria are achieved, such as thermal, mechanical, chemical, etc. They are called equilibria because no change occurs in them at all, like the flow of matter or energy. It can be seen as the inverse of the Big Bang, where the universe was once very hot in its genesis.

Biography
Sven is the bastard son of a Vigil Knight, born from the flesh of a Pallid Meranth, raised in the Shadeshore Ruins. With his father executed for violating the Vigil Codex, and his mother ostracized by the Mer, Sven firmly believes that honor is not to be found in any society, but only in himself. After tending his mother through a lingering death, Sven swore vengeance against the Vigil Knights, recruiting himself into their ranks as a novice while never revealing his identity.

For thirteen years he studied in his father's school, mastering the rigid code that declared his existence an abomination. Then, on the day that should have been his In-Swearing, he seized the Outcast Blade, shattered the Sacred Helm, and burned the Codex in the Vigil's Holy Flame. He strode from Vigil Keep, forever solitary, following his private code to the last strict rune. Still a knight, yes...but a Rogue Knight. He answers only to himself.

Artifact
In this strange timeline, the story of Sven has now reached the point where he has infiltrated the ranks of the Vigil Knights, but their destruction from within is a future that cannot be avoided, at least to the will of the soon-to-be Rogue Knight. To assure that this possibility comes to fruition, Sven must train among his enemies, rise above their ranks, and ultimately: destroy them from within to avenge his family.

Although he hasn't enacted his rogue code yet, he manifests a bit of the code in his actions by aligning against any kind of army like any true rogue to society would. He has declared war against the Radiant and the Dire, Venomancer and his expanding garden of s, the Bronze Legion, the reformed Red Mist Horde, and even the Vhoul rebellion.

Enemies

Physiology
Sven is a hybrid between a drylander (presumably a Human) and a Pallid Meranth. Any Mer who inherits dryland blood and aspects will be weakened or enfeebled by it, causing them to be mortal and have shortened lifespans in comparison to the pure Mer, who are implied to have eternal lifespans. Rumor has it that he still retains the innate Meranth ability to breathe underwater, which he may have used to retrieve a sword of the Vigil Knights that he found in a sunken galley.

Equipment
Sven's equipment mostly consists of the Vigil Knight's arsenal, possibly stolen from them as retribution or mockery. The most notable apparatus taken from the Knights is the Outcast Blade, which he stole on the day that should've been his In-Swearing. The Vigil Knights still seek to retrieve the Outcast Blade from Sven, who has now claimed it for himself. He also stole an iron gauntlet from his father's school and wears it now on his left hand.

There is also the shield-crest of the Vigil Knights, also worn on his left hand. The shield has extendable "wings" that likely increases its protective area. It is said to be so durable that it still appears to be in pristine condition even after being used in battles in a dozen wars.

Fitting for a brute of his size and from his training with the Vigil Knights, he prefers large two-handed blades with heavy tips and unorthodox shapes with some of them being really dangerous for the wielder and the target. Sven has collected a variety of swords in his lifetime (besides the ones that are stolen from the Vigil Knights) although it's possible that he only acquires them in a separate timeline. Only a few of them are notable enough to be listed below: None of these blades are as prized as the relic that he found in the debris of a sunken galley that once sailed under the Vigil Knights banner. The sword was worthy enough for Sven to replace the Outcast Blade with it.
 * A greatsword whose blade is made of Radiant Ore. While extremely sharp, not many blades made from this ore can survive their first use.
 * An obsidian sword said to contain the fragmented souls of tormented gods.
 * A two pronged sword that doubles as a tuning fork. When struck against another blade, it will produce a different sound that depends on the blade that it has struck. Skilled users like Sven can tell what kind of blade they are facing with this.
 * An unorthodox blade whose edges converge into a ring rather than a tip. The ring symbolizes unending courage.

As for his armors, most of them are taken from the Vigil Knights, including the uniforms of the Chiseled Guard, the Mono Militis sect, and the Flameguard sect. The serrated shafts that are crafted along the protrusions of Sven's helmet are said to improve the wearer's hearing.

Much like the sets of armor that the Vigil Knights once wore, even his armor can be used as a weapon. He once impaled an attacking ogre in the Feral Road using the spikes resting on his shoulder guard, and a specific left-handed gauntlet in his possession was carefully designed to intercept an enemy swordsman's attack on his shoulder or to catch a blade mid-swing.

Powers
Sven's abilities are a mixture of his knightly skills and godly power. All of these abilities synergize with each other to destroy multiple opponents at once, fitting for his theme as a one man army in a planet full of foes.

Sven unleashes his father's magical gauntlet, launching the on his foes. He prefers using his gauntlet on enemies that attempt to escape him. A prophecy from a strange Oracle called Nerif states that his gauntlet is the hammer of the gods, implying that Sven has some form of connection with divinity.

The Outcast Blade's can cut through multiple opponents at once with a combination of its massive length and the shockwaves that it emits when swung.

In battle, Sven may hearten his allies with a by reciting a few poetic lines from the burned Vigil Codex, fortifying his obedience to his rogue code. Lorewise, it's unknown if it provides any other buffs outside of gameplay mechanics. He also doesn't seem to recite any lines when using this ability, but he roars loudly instead.

is the same strength that Sven used to shatter the Sacred Helm on the day of his In-Swearing. Card art for this ability in Artifact shows that Sven and his sword will grow in mass and size when this ability is activated, while also turning his padded armor red. This, alongside his Storm Hammer (which is said to be the hammer of the gods) is one of his connections to divinity, at least according to its name.

Biography
Although his origins are as dubious as children's tales, there is only one origin story that belongs to Wukong. The oldest tales say that he hatched from a large magical boulder that bore silent witness to all of creation. But only children and fools put stock in such things.

Rumble In The Deep
During a time when Wukong had no worthy weapon in his hands yet, he was searching for one that was worthy of his talents. Finding none on land, he turned to the underwater realm where The King of the Eastern Sea (or Seas ), hoarder of the surface world's treasures, dwelled in the depths where no sunlight could reach. Hearing of the Monkey King's desire, he mused about a weapon called the Jingu Bang, which he said was a weapon worthy of a warrior like him. Unfortunately, he also said that it was lost to the depths of the ocean, and so he directed him to the base of Dark Reef Prison where it can be found.

Seemingly unaffected by the crushing pressure of the depths, Wukong swam through the murky waters towards Dark Reef and found the staff embedded on the ocean floor. He then gripped the staff with all of his might until it was freed, but he realized he had been tricked. By freeing the staff, it suddenly extended its length and breached the walls of Dark Reef prison. He quickly shrunk the staff to a more manageable size, but it was too late. The notorious and dangerous prisoners of Dark Reef have begun their exodus. Determined to correct his mistakes, he singlehandedly stopped three dozen criminals from escaping.

Of course, this story contradicts with the Nightcrawler's accounts on how he alone escaped Dark Reef, and it even contradicts with another report where several criminals broke out of the same prison, lead by none other than Slark. Still, who cares about authenticity when this legend puts most heroes' feats to shame?

Immortal Path
This legend is much more dubious than the previous one. Some say that the legend started when Razor trapped the Monkey King in the Narrow Maze many years ago, but some say that it started when Wukong traversed the path to the underworld by his own accord for the sake of making himself an immortal warrior. Either way, this is the one and only story of how Wukong achieved true immortality.

In the Narrow Maze, Razor chased after Wukong's soul until the latter reached an open space with a luminous exit at the other side of the room. Finally having a bit of breathing room, he quickly hid behind a rock and shapeshifted into a tree before Razor could catch up to him. When his tormentor reached the room, he could not find Wukong and searched around until he was attacked from behind. A brutal battle ensued and eventually Wukong defeated the Lightning Revenant. He was now free to remove his name from the Book of Life and Death alongside the names of his clone army, making them both immortal.

Somewhere in between this legend and the next (assuming that his lore follows its real-life mythical counterpart) Sun Wukong waged a war against the heavens until nothing but his legend survived.

Burning Crucible
Wukong's audacious crime of removing himself from the great wheel of the cycle of nature did not go unheard of. The four forces of nature conspired to punish Wukong so that they may restore order back to nature and prevent further chaos from disrupting it. Wukong's legendary skills as a warrior were no match for the combined forces that governed aspects of creation itself, and so he was locked away to have his heavenly powers purged by the purifying flames of Xin's Eternal Crucible.

Outraged at this injustice, Wukong struggled to survive within the flames of the Eternal Furnace. But even with his deathless existence, he soon learned that even he had limits. So he resolved to be stronger. For forty-nine days, the Monkey King meditated in the furnace as the flames lapped upon him. Unable to be consumed by the fire, the furnace that was meant to be his punishment became a crucible where a powerful being was reborn.

The King versus The Quorum
There is a legend that describes one particular at some point in Wukong's immortal life where he fought the The Quorum, a senate of thirty-one powerful wizards who govern over all of Weeping Rose. No other details exist about this legend yet, since it was only mentioned in passing by Ilexa, a young Radiant creep who claims to be Wukong's biggest fan.

A New Journey
Long after his war against the heavens, and with his greatest feats all behind him, Wukong found himself working as a cage fighter for Grek in White Spire. This job only came to him as a pleasant distraction from his journey to the war of the Nemesis Stones after he saw a flyer on the way to the battle. But scripted cage fighting seemed like a fun thing to take up.

Already accustomed to his new job, Wukong maintained a staged feud with his rival Breklin, the Living Anathema, for many months. Following a pretty exciting performance that wrecked the cage and Breklin with it, Grek approached Wukong after the match and informed him about the arena's dwindling budget. Grek claimed that he could not afford Wukong's theatrics since most of their funds have been spent on repairing the stage after every performance. In response to their situation, Wukong suggested a less destructive performance where he and Breklin would perform stand-up comedy. But Grek refuses, saying that comedy doesn't sell, but he ominously assures him that he has something else in store for tomorrow's show and that they're going to love it.

Wukong retreats to the Sundered Moon bar where he and Breklin are signing autographs. He informs the latter on their boss' idea for a new kind of performance and his assumptions that they're going to approve of it tomorrow. Breklin predicts that it's going to be terrible and Wukong agrees with him before calling the next person in line. Black Arachnia's scurries through the intimidated crowd as she makes her way towards their table and pins her flyer on it with her spider leg.

The two ex-lovers greet each other—Arachnia expresses her anticipation while Wukong coldly greets her back. Arachnia proceeds to reveal that she

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Magic has a very minimal presence in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, given its focus on the cosmic Eldwurms. Regardless, magic still exists in its vast setting, albeit it does not share the same depth that the original game's lore has with sorcery.

Since half of the Eldwurms are the four elements themselves, they seem to be the source of elemental magic now, such as the Invoker's Quas,  Wex, and  Exort orbs. This is because his Quas orb appears to be composed of water and thus it emanates sounds of water now, despite the original orb allowing for manipulation of ice elements. Quas seems to the orb of water now, because the element of ice is included in the element of water, which is why water dragons can breathe ice.

As such, the Invoker has the most instances of magic in the series. He has many spells and many magical apparatuses, but most of them have no background to them. This section is too small for Invoker's vast arcane repertoire, but all of his powers can be seen here.

Description
Mentions of mana in the lore of Dota 2 suggest that mana is an ethereal and magical energy that flows from one's spirit. For instance, the Anti-Mage, upon killing someone using, states that the cost of magic (mana) is borrowed from one's soul. In Artifact, it's stated that mana is the essence of life. It's possible that this means mana is an essence found in the spirit, the aspect that gives life to an individual. Harbinger's refers to mana as the "ebb and flow of all spiritual energy" in its lore. It's unknown what this ebb and flow is, but perhaps this refers to the expenditure of mana and its eventual regeneration over time, respectively.

However, the Nyx Assassin's implies that mana flows from the mind, since the ability saps the consciousness to work its mana-sapping power. Perhaps this implies that the mind and the soul are linked with each other, which is why one may manipulate mana from either aspects of a being, for it makes no difference. Basically, the mind and the soul may be two different doorways that lead to the same room known as one's mana reservoir.

Pugna claims that all sorceries have their source in the Nether Reaches. Aether (a.k.a. void or nothingness) is an essential ingredient in magic, alongside this essence of magic.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
It's implied that mana or something akin to it, like a spiritual essence that one must spend to use magic, exists in the animated series Dota: Dragon's Blood.

The and his apprentice  Wei both have the same set of anti-magic abilities. This includes, a modified technique of the Turstarkuri that was once used to manipulate magical energies, until the Anti-Mage repurposed it for his own ends. Believing mana to be an impurity of the soul, he saps his victim's mana and turns it against them with each strike he lands. According to Wei, it's implied that the Mana Break technique isn't bound to a weapon, but the user itself, allowing the skill to be used with any weapon. After enough purification, they may unleash a, turning the victim's mana deficit against them. The name implies that the ability uses the void to work its power. This implies that losing mana expands the void that exists within a being. Perhaps this Mana Void ability comes from the Turstarkuri as well, who in turn used the Void Spirit's teachings, suggesting the monastery's voidal connection.

Although the 's holy apparatuses are reserved for collecting blood for the Twins, he can also collect the arcane essence of the Outworld Destroyer.

Pugna claims that all sorceries have their source in this Nether Reaches. Aether (also known as void or nothingness) is an essential ingredient in the arcane arts, including the magic of Invoke.

Description
Ice and cold are oft associated with preservation, stasis, forbearance, durability and many other properties related to the slowing, resisting, and ceasing of change. The grim season of winter is the time of slowness in nature—plants grow slower or even stop growing in the cold, animals cease their usual activities and hibernate to preserve their energy, and even that which is shapeless and flowing enters a state of stasis.

stubborn. No matter how many warm seasons have passed, the cold will always be around the corner. Not only does this apply to mundane ice and cold, but also the cold cosmic singularity that predates the universe and will return once all heat has been lost, bringing with him the stasis of all matter. thus Strength

One of the three greatest and most fundamental arcane energies in all of space and time, Quas allows for the manipulation of ice elements and bears the properties of heaviness, stubbornness, tenacity, fortitude, etc. Among the three elemental orbs of magic, Quas is the only one with restorative properties. Spells that involve Quas in their formulae and are cast with the Invoke process may inherit Quas' properties in their magical mechanism, such as a curse spell that draws from Quas' properties to prolong its effects.

Pugna claims that all sorceries have their source in the Nether Reaches. Aether (also known as void or nothingness) is an essential ingredient in the arcane arts, including Quas.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Along with the Invoker's signature Wex and Exort orbs, the elemental magic orb of Quas makes an appearance (and a few uses) in the animated series Dota: Dragon's Blood. According to this series' writer, producer, and creator Ashley Miller; this iteration of the Invoker doesn't mostly rely on the orbs to cast some of his spells. He compares this version of the Invoker's orbs to a "magical Swiss Army knife" (suggesting at their versatility) that empowers spells and allows him to cast magics that require these orbs.

It wasn't just the way his magic is used that was changed. Apparently, Quas now has something to do with the essence of water. Listening to the sound effects of his Quas orb, one may hear the sound of flowing and bubbly water. This may have something to do with the fact that Lirrak—the be-all and end-all element of Water herself—also has dominion over ice as well. If this is the case, then Quas is the water element in all of its states: solid, liquid, and gas. Because of this, it's unknown if the animated series' version of the Quas orb still has the original's properties of stillness, resistance, and whatnot, seeing how water is an element that is quite the opposite with its properties of unconstrainedness and mutability.

The following are all the instances of the arcane orb Quas being used or the appearances of the arcane orb Quas in the whole animated series.

His Quas orb was first shown in the yellow-green pocket dimension that he trapped Fymryn in, appearing alongside his other orbs. They did not do much besides float around her. The hidden sage seemingly spoke to her through his orbs, but perhaps these orbs are him. When he chose to reveal himself, all three orbs flew up and converged on each other in a flash of magical light before his pocket dimension became sable. Just for a moment after his orbs converged and disappeared, his floating silhouette was briefly visible until it merged with his darkened dimension as quickly as it appeared, before he finally stepped out of the lightless space and appeared to her in the flesh.

All three orbs were orbiting him when the Invoker achieved astral projection to travel to Selemene's astral realm. It's possible that he needed them all to perform this feat.

The Invoker brought all three orbs with him when he confronted Vahdrak in his lair. It's unknown if he used any of them in the ensuing confrontation, since it wasn't shown.

When the Invoker cast a spell akin to the orignal's (shown as a fiery orb before it was cast) to destroy Vahdrak, his fiery orb split into his Quas, Wex, and Exort orbs before rising into the sky. A bright yellow flash followed, then a beam of fire shot down from the clouds, disintegrating the Chaos Eldwurm and reducing him down to his soul.

Spell-casting
The mental and mnemonic sorcery of Invoke can be used to manipulate Quas energy. Spells invoked with Quas will inherit its element and properties.

Spells with Quas
(also known as Sadron's Protracted Frisson or Quas Frigoris ) is a hex whose magical formula is three orbs of Quas. As this spell's title implies, the Cold Snap is a very short freezing that works by drawing heat from a target, possibly freezing them into brittle ice in this process. Brief though it may be, it's not called a "Protracted Frisson" for naught. This name implies that its fleeting effect may be extended, possibly via inflicting sustained damage on this affected target to continually freeze them, just like in gameplay. As a spell that has only Quas in its composition, it draws upon its properties of freezing, protractedness, and whatnot to work its crippling power.

(also known as Myrault's Hinder-Gast or Geist of Lethargy ) is an incantation whose magical formula is two Quas orbs and one  Wex orb. This magical spell manipulates the ice and electrical energies around its caster, rendering their body invisible. As a result, an elemental imbalance will occur due to the opposite powers of Quas and Wex. Ghost Walk draws upon Quas' properties to slow the movement of nearby enemies (just like what the spell's fancier names suggest), while Wex's properties of swiftness and dynamism is dulled possibly because it uses more Quas than Wex, thus it also impedes the caster. Its self-crippling effects may be offset by having more of Wex's power, though. (also known as Claws of Tornarus or Wex cyclonus ) is a spell whose magical formula involves two orbs of Wex and one  Quas. Manipulating natural forces with magic, the spell sends out a fast moving tornado that sweeps up anything in its path. Suspended in the air, victims are subject to its dizzying heights until the tornado dissipates, causing them to plummet. Its high-speed winds may come from Wex's storm elements and its properties related to speed, motion, and change, while Quas' properties may be involved in prolonging the tornado's life, thus extending its victims' airtime. (also known as Killing Wall of Koryx or Bitter Rampart ) is a spell whose magical formula requires two Quas and one  Exort. Despite this, the young Invoker states that he calls upon ice and storm for this spell, contradicting the elemental combo meant for it. Regardless, this spell brings the power of the "White Waste" to the battlefield, creating a wall of ice that emanates an aura of debilitating cold. The young Invoker states that its ice is slippery. The spell draws upon Quas for its ice and the bitter cold that it emits to slow nearby victims, while Exort may be the one that makes this spell deal damage. Forged Spirits (also known as Culween's Most Cunning Fabrications and Grief Elementals ) are created by invoking two instances of Exort and one  Quas These spirits are said to be created from nothing. They have the ability to spit out a that destroys armor, but they are also said to destroy the will itself via unknown means. Their alleged ability to destroy the will may be why they got their Grief moniker. They embody Quas' fortitude and Exort's strength and violence. (also known as Buluphont's Aureal Incapacitator ) is a spell that's invoked using one of each orb: Quas,  Wex, and  Exort. Using all three elements at once, this simple yet powerful spell unleashes a mighty sonic wave that's loud enough to deafen those caught in the blast, leaving them reeling from the attack. Gameplay wise, it seems to draw upon Quas to knock back enemies, Wex to disarm them, and Exort to deal damage.
 * It's unknown from which of the spell's two elements does its strange invisibility comes from. Here are two speculations for each element.
 * The invisibility may come from Quas because the spell's invisibility mirrors the transparency of ice, allowing light to pass through it and thus letting anything that's behind it to be seen clearly and making it blend in with its surroundings.
 * It may also use Quas since ice is the stuff of mystery and the unseen, like the bottom of an iceberg or the hidden waters and lifeforms beneath the ice.
 * The invisibility may come from Wex because it can manipulate electromagnetism, such as . Having power over this force, the spell's Wex can blend the caster in with every spectrum of visible light, rendering them invisible.
 * The sparking, purple energy of Wex can be seen on the base of the spell's tornado.
 * With the Dark Artistry uniform, the Tornado has a dark violet and purple color to it and it leaves behind dark rune trail in its wake.
 * Speaking of the White Waste, this waste might be the cold northern realm of Icewrack, which is also known as the Frozen Waste. "White" may refer to its literal color, since the place is all ice and snow. Plus "wrack" and "waste" are synonymous. In this case, this spell may be from the Frozen Arts brand of magic. This may be what the young Invoker meant by using ice and storm, since spells of the Frozen Arts channel the elements of Icewrack, such as cold and wind.
 * Its elemental energies of Quas and Exort may be a reference to frostfire. This sort of flame is also produced in the gullet of the Winter Wyvern.
 * young Acolyte of the Lost Arts Invoker minimap icon.png Invoker has a dragon
 * Regarding the spell using the element's powers, the blast should draw upon Quas instead of Wex for its disarming capabilities, since Quas is the energy of stopping and ceasing. On the other hand, the blast's knockback distance should draw upon Wex since it is the energy of movement. Exort remains unchanged, the spell still using it for its damage and power. Deafening Blast doesn't use the aformentioned order probably because of gameplay reasons.
 * With the Dark Artistry uniform, the Deafening Blast has a dark violet and purple color to it and it leaves behind dark rune trail in its wake.

is one of the most notable users of Quas, harnessing this magic in the form of three orbiting orbs. As a remnant of an age when magic was in its most potent form and when it required no apparatus but the mind itself, the Invoker relies on these orbs as his only apparatus. Apparently, these orbs are his mnemonic devices, which allowed him to recall in rich detail the specific mental formulae that unlocked a spell's power.

 * Some of Dragon's Blood's iterations of these orbs are much closer in color to these subtractive colors, as Exort is sometimes depicted with a yellow color.
 * Concept art for the Invoker reveals that his orbs were once colored red, green, and blue after the three attributes.
 * In DotA, the elemental magery of Quas is the heart of a blizzard. The lore of DotA's old Invoker states that his Quas reagent builds his skill in arcane magics, as opposed to Wex's energy magics and Exort's fire magics. Besides the arcane, spells invoked with Quas deal with the power of the mind, wind, and water.
 * Unlike the modern version of Quas, the old Invoker's Quas is the attribute of intelligence, which is why it deals with the mind and magic.

Ostarion awoke from his trance to see the sun shining on his face. With the millennial solstice of Wraith-Night now at an end, and him being the only survivor of a massacre that he enacted but was completely oblivious to for its entire duration, he found himself in a luminous body made of wraith flesh and no longer at the mercy of decay that all material things are subject to. Declaring himself the Wraith King, he refashioned his bone kingdom into a land made of wraith essence. His mortal subjects shared the same fate too, turning everything in his current domain into an incorporeal land until everything he ruled over was as immortal as he is.

Campaigns
There was once a small kingdom renowned for its textile specialists that Ostarion tried to conquer. The surviving subjects fashioned a cape for the fleshless king in the hopes that he would spare them. Which he did, but just this once.

The Duke of Levinthal, Elector of the Gleaming City, once held out against the hordes of Ostarion's undead warriors for many days. Seeking to finally end the siege, he did a sortie and fought Ostarion in personal combat. He lost the battle and his domain fell to the king, with his broken greatsword now in Ostarion's hands.

Ostarion's eastern expansion caught the ill attention of an undead dragon named Ambinderath. The beast was probably killed by Ostarion, and its jaw was detached to make a sword out of it. Whatever happened to its other remains is unknown.

Ostarion's lust for powers and immortality eventually led him to add even the Seven Hells to his eternal kingdom. To this end, he sought to acquire the riven shards of the prison plane Foulfell, left behind in the wake of the Demon Marauder's exodus, which is rumored to have the ability to imprison the souls of demons. He has yet to conquer this realm, though.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * Ostarion is a cruel king.
 * Ostarion is, despite his lack of a material body and thus his inability to feel pain, into BDSM.

Relationships
Given the massive time gap between the reign of the Skeleton King and the Wraith King, not to mention that Ostarion's memories have been mostly consumed by the wraith flame it's unknown if his previous incarnation's relations still carry over to his current form. Nevertheless, one can read it in the link above.

Immortality
Having forsaken his material body for a body shaped from wraith flesh, Ostarion now has an incorporeal form. His embodiment is made of a pure spiritual essence that is beyond any material decay. The countless quantities of wraith energy that he has consumed should give him large amounts of strength, since the wraith energy that was stolen from the Wraith-Night hordes empowered the throng as well.

As a spiritual being, Wraith King has access to the spiritual planes of existence, such as the afterlife. He resurrects himself by returning from the veil of death and back into the world without staying in the Underscape or Narrow Maze that comes after the veil. because of this, he is one of the many fugitive souls hunted by Visage

Equipment
Ostarion's subjects, both willing and unwilling, have forged various weapons and armour for their unliving King. Although he has long forsaken his form of bones, he still finds himself appreciating things made out of bone, only appreciating non-bony items on rare occasions.

In Ostarion's storeroom, he owns a variety of large swords that fit his large stature. Most of these swords are made of bone and other materials, but mostly bone. Besides his default sword, which appears to have a spinal cord along the flat side of the metal blade, this includes the following: Besides his other bony swords, Ostarion owns a variety of non-bony swords, ranging from worldly swords made of mundane material to eerie swords that can influence various matters spiritual. (Usually in a bad way.) Ostarion's royal wardrobe has a vast miscellany of armor and regalia. It's interesting to note that most of his articles of clothing or armor, if not all of them, were given to him as tribute. Either the senders voluntarily gave their tribute to him or if Ostarion himself forcibly took it from them, usually after their deaths. After all, even unwilling and unwitting sacrifice is due tribute in the eyes of the Wraith King.
 * A bony, wicked looking sword fashioned by Ostarion's biggest fans in the smithing trade.
 * A sword made from the late Dreadknight's own sword and fused with his spine. A scary reminder of what awaits those who challenges Ostarion. A similar sword made out of the spine and blade of an unknown victim exists in Ostarion's possession.
 * A white sword made by Ostarion's subjects. Its hilt and grip was crafted from the bones of fallen kings, while its blade was forged from the armor in which they died wearing.
 * A sword made from the severed jaw of the undead dragon Ambinderath.
 * The Boneslayer, a sword that was presented by an unfortunate kingdom that Ostarion was about to conquer. They staked their hopes on this gift which they thought should open opportunities for negotiating a peaceful surrender. It didn't work.
 * An unorthodox shaped blade made from the bone shards of many a broken enemy.
 * A makeshift sword fashioned from a femur and a blade that are fastened together.
 * A sword that appears to be made of crystallized blood.
 * The broken greatsword of the Duke of Levinthal.
 * The Relic Sword, a sword with a blade that has been broken off. Although it is physically broken, it still has an ethereal edge. Only bloodshed can satisfy its phantom blade.
 * The Winterblight, a sword carved from stone and glacial ice. Its cold edge can freeze the very souls of its victims.

Among the clothing that he has taken from others alongside their lives, he has taken the remains of the Dreadknight and his Magnoceros accomplice. For their bold act of conquest on Ostarion's realm, he killed the two invaders and fused their remains on his obsidian pauldrons and gauntlets that are lined with gold, adorning the latter piece of armor with the Dreadknight's skull. He also took the Dreadknight's cloak which is lined with inscribed sigils that were said to render its wearer invincible—which Ostarion proved otherwise. To complete the outfit, he wears a crown made from the bony remains of the Dreadknight—a dreadful reminder of Ostarion's reign and the fate of those who dares to challenge it.

Powers
Calling upon his damned lineage, Ostarion draws upon it to shoot s from his fist, reducing those unfortunate enough to be caught in his wake to ashes. The same wraith flame has consumed his memories about his previous regime back when he was the bony king. Ostarion's is sustained by the spiritual essence of his enemies, his blade draining it away from them to feed his aura. This "aura" might refer to the luminous Wraith Essence that gives the shape of revenants and untethered spirits on the material plane. Its active component is a good demonstration of Ostarion's skill with necromancy, allowing him to summon his skeletal/ghostly subjects to his side. His dark magic ensures that their loyalty to him will be eternal, even after they have died.
 * In his transition from the Skeleton King to the Wraith King, his "hellish lineage" and hellfire has been replaced with his "damned lineage" and spectral flames. This damned lineage is his new power source for abilities that use wraith fire.
 * However, he would soon regain the ability to manipulate hellfire after one particular reincarnation. When he returned to the path that led into the afterlife's veil, he was assaulted by a swirling flame that struggled to drive him back into the endless abyss. He grasped the flame with his mailed hand, thrashing and tearing at it until he returned to the material plane.
 * This flame may be his "hellish lineage" that he discarded upon becoming a wraith and his lineage is probably seeking vengeance for abandoning them.

His is best explained in his Immortality section.

Frostivus Powers
During the Wraith-Night before Frostivus, Ostarion displayed a much more powerful application of his ghost powers. It's unknown if they're still canon or not.

is an ability that summons the spirits of the dead to destroy anyone in a large area surrounding him. The effect is not immediate since Ostarion must plunge his sword into the ground first to start casting, then channel the ability until the ground erupts. Unlike the next two abilities, this one has some degree of lore from its description. is an aptly named ability where he summons wraiths to buff his attack damage, movement speed, and attack speed. This ability has no lore.
 * It shares the same "Wraithfire" moniker as his, implying that it also uses wraithflame which is drawn from the same power source that is his damned lineage. This shared power source is evident in the ability's use of dead spirits to work its power.

Yet another aptly named ability, Ostarion's can summon wraiths who will regroup with their summoner to heal him at the cost of their life. This ability has no lore.

Habitat
The Frostbitten are a time-displaced species from an unknown era. Today, they only dwell in the Frostbite Tundra, which may have gotten its name from them.

Morphology
The most common and distinctive features of the Frostbitten are their weird faces and their pale blue hides. They seem to have no noses at first, but they actually have a tiny nose with a nonexistent bridge, horizontally aligning their nose up with their blank blue eyes. Because of their tiny noses, the space between it and above their upper lip is wide, akin to Nature's Prophet's Muppetlike face. Some Frostbitten possess a twisted pair of antlers with the same shape, albeit the length and size of these antlers are asymmetrical to each other. They bear no lips on their mouths, so their teeth are always bared. Plus, they seem to have an underbite. A pair of tiny ears sit behind their antlers, but it may be covered by their hair. Lastly, they have small spikes on their chins.

All Frostbitten have the same amount and collection of teeth, with irregular tooth sizes. On their mandible, they have a total of ten teeth. They have four teeth at the front of the lower jaw which sits between two bigger fangs. Beyond their fangs are two smaller teeth on both corners of their mouth. As for their upper jaw, it has a total of seven teeth. The left corner of their upper jaw has no teeth, but they have irregular teeth starting at the front until the right corner of the upper jaw.

Some Frostbitten have pale blue fur that covers their form, save for their head and their extremities. They may also grow long straight hair that has the same pale blue color of their fur in a balding pattern, which is exclusive to Frostbitten who don't have antlers. Frostbitten have long black fingernails and grey toenails.

Body shape seems to vary between Frostbitten. The more muscular Frostbitten have an asymmetrical body shape. They have wide torsos and huge neck muscles that hide their short necks, but the size of their arms are irregular. The right arm is bigger and more muscular, while the left arm looks like Father's paralysis

hair fur. asymmetrical body shape. sharp black fingernails. seven spikes on their back

Powers
Due to their time-displaced nature, the Frostbitten possess an innate control over time. This manifests as a that speeds up the spell cooldowns of nearby allies.

Counting gameplay spells, some Frostbitten seem to have ice magic in their arcane repertoire, such as, , and. Their spells have no lore.
