![]() ![]() Erebus requires significant basanite production. The trachytes have 87Sr/ 86Sr of 0.704, higher than other EFS and EL rocks, and they probably evolved by a combined assimilation-fractional crystallization process. Minor volumes of less undersaturated, more iron-rich benmoreite, phonolite, and trachyte are termed the enriched iron series (EFS). Major element mass balance calculations and trace element models show that fractionation of 16% olivine, 52% clinopyroxene, 14% Fe-Ti oxides, 11% feldspar, 3% nepheline, and 3% apatite from a basanite parent leaves 23.5% anorthoclase phonolite. Regular geochemical trends indicate that the EL evolved from the basanites by fractional crystallization. 87Sr/ 86Sr is uniform and low (˜ 0.7030) throughout the EL, suggesting derivation of the basanites from a depleted asthenospheric mantle source, and lack of significant crustal contamination during fractionation of the basanite. The light REE are enriched (La N/Yb N= 14–20) and there are no significant Eu anomalies. Rare earth element (REE) contents increase only slightly with increasing differentiation compared with other incompatible elements. The lavas are porphyritic with olivine (Fo 88–51), clinopyroxene (Wo 45–53En 36–41Fs 8–30), opaque oxides (Usp 31–76), feldspar (An 72–11), and apatite. The strongly undersaturated sodic lavas range from basanite to anorthoclase phonolite, and are termed the Erebus lineage (EL). Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.Mount Erebus, Ross Island, Antarctica, is an active, intraplate, alkaline volcano. ( Skip section)Ī shadow, Erebus came into being as an aftereffect of the great cataclysm that created the Shadow Universe, for which he was dubbed the "Firstborn" of his ' mother'. Born in Light and in Darkness, he was never given a name, and the Shadow Universe struggled to reproduce the method of his creation, and abandoned it, preferring to mirror Lore to have some semblance of control. Forced to reside in its newly-formed "puppet layer", Erebus became disgruntled, and tore open a hole in the universe and escaped to Lore, seeking purpose and freedom ( The Journey Home!). Incapable of speech, Erebus first arrived to Lore, where the first being he encountered-the Annunaki Truth-tried to merge with him, but this drove Truth mad. The Annunaki Avatar would try to mimic Erebus' in his splitting, and eventually torn itself in two, his second half becoming Lies, an event that took place some time after the Devourer's fourth coming. Erebus went next to the city of Tjeli, in Inilar. Its inhabitants were "warped and corrupted even further under hand", until they were cast into the depths of icy southern ocean by The'Galin and the Elemental Lords ( Mostly Harmful).įinally, Erebus entered Lore from outside of time and arrived near the former Guardian Tower at Edress Point, in Deren, where he met his closest analogue, the Mysterious Stranger, who felt invigorated by Erebus' Darkness but was destroyed by his Light ( Mostly Harmful). To keep himself from dying, Erebus absorbed the Stranger, stealing his body, which allowed him to take the form of "Seth Cay Dhows" and which gave him the capacity to speak ( The Journey Home!). Erebus claims that, as the Mysterious Stranger's destruction occurred outside of time-for he had entered from without it-, it undid its creation however, as time/reality itself demanded that one fill their role and space that he originally did, Erebus took his place ( Mostly Harmful).Īt some point, Erebus forced human beings to dwell in the Shadow Universe and was involved with Lord Barrius's parents. However, as he learned of the consequences of his actions, he eventually made a truce, a ceasefire, with Barrius and his Order, thinking their conflict would lead them to mutually assured destruction. They agreed that none would open direct conduits to draw on the power there, sealing the passage to his universe ( The Journey Home!). Mohrred" on Arturia ( Mostly Harmful), but also manipulated a group of Network beings called the Alpha to become Epsilon. As the Epsilon, the "man-made god", the Vesperians created projects and paradigms around him, and planned to use Erebus to their ends ( Mostly Harmful).Įventually, he made his way to Caelestia where he went under the identity of "Tholeon Webb" ( Aftermath) and altering the time line so severely that Eldron Larethian was never born, by changing the very foundations of Caelestia itself. Outside Fair Harbor, Falerin Ardendor confronted him, but found that he had never acquired his portfolio as Caelestia's God of Evil ( The Journey Home!). However, heroes from Caelestia's post-apocalyptic future defeated 'Webb', undoing the changes, and thus, allowing Falerin to become the God of Evil and Eldron to be born, just as it had been in the original timeline. Once back to normal, the Caelestian Pantheon entire banished Erebus from the realm ( Aftermath).
