The Keeper of the Flame

The universe is not held together by chance.

It is held together by memory.

Across fractured eras and collapsing civilizations exists a vast, unseen order of knowledge—an ever-shifting record of what was, what might be, and what must never be forgotten. This is the domain of the Flame: a living principle of continuity, meaning, and truth.

Opposing it is the Null—an encroaching absence that erodes memory, identity, and history itself. The Null does not destroy outright. It unmakes, leaving silence where certainty once stood, and rewriting existence through loss rather than force.

Between these forces stand the Flamekeepers. They are not rulers, nor gods, but custodians—tasked with preserving memory against entropy, guarding fragile truths, and making impossible choices in a universe where forgetting is often easier than remembering. Their work is dangerous, thankless, and frequently misunderstood, for memory carries both wisdom and grief.

This mythos explores themes of identity, sacrifice, legacy, and the cost of preservation. It asks what it means to remain human in a reality where memories can be altered, erased, or weaponized—and whether holding on is always the same as doing what is right.

These are not tales of simple heroism.
They are stories of endurance, consequence, and the quiet defiance of keeping the flame lit when the darkness promises rest.
