Entropy's Edge/Lore

Entropy's Edge and a large amount of its content have lore associated with them. The lore of Entropy's Edge is more directly tied to gameplay then that of Calamity, although much of it is still unnecessary to the central gameplay of the mod.

Calamity Lore Changes
The Entropy's Edge mod's story takes place in an alternate canon to that of base Calamity and changes certain parts of its lore to allow for new characters, locations, and story arcs. It is recommended that those who wish to become acquainted with the lore first become familiar with the lore of base calamity.

The Sisters of the Afterlife, and the Wall of Flesh (Calamity)
In the beginning, light and dark were equal.

The rulers of the afterlife, the queens of good and evil. The arch-judge of virtue, and the dominatrix of vice. Such were Titania and Daeria, two far-apart sisters that grew attached to their respective “extremes” of the world. Titania was, and still is, referred to by many as the Hallowed Judge, known for her ability for her magic to attain far greater strength against foes who had wronged others in the past. For this was her goal above all else; a world where people understood that their actions have consequences, and a world where this fact encouraged people to do good by themselves and by others. Similar was the goal of Daeria, who intended to drag those that had committed such wrongs into hell, be it to make them succubi, servants, or just snacks --- all, however, who did wrong would become part of her kingdom in some fashion or another. and if they paid off their debt as servants, they would be permitted back into the Hallow’s harmonious embrace. They worked in harmony, with Titania sending those she deemed unworthy of the Hallow’s protection to Hell, where Daeria would decide their fate and entertain herself with them accordingly. Yet they also protected their kingdoms in time of crisis, with Daeria coming forth to protect the vile spreads manifesting the very thing she presided over --- the Corruption, the manifest of all greed, all deception, all the darkness in Hell...and the Crimson, the manifest of blood, gore, and the desire for murder --- and Titania coming forth to ward off danger from threatening the Hallow and its goal of purity, and those she had deemed worthy of living on as various hallowed creatures. In the end, all was well, and Titania rarely had to rise from her place as the hallowed overseer, being able to calmly keep watch of all of her various subjects while those unworthy were promptly sent to Daeria, who would choose whether they lived on as her servants or truly died without a care in the world.

Yet all of this changed when the Jungle’s prior leaders fell.

Not long after the Jungle Tyrant, Yharim, seized power and began his quest for conquest, his eye turned to the mighty fires of hell. Not only was the Brimstone Crag of interest to his conquerings, but he had taken intrigue to the underworld’s other great kingdom as well --- that of Daeria, who had only vaguely heard of Yharim through Titania’s occasional ramblings. And the purity monarch had her own worries, for Yharim had taken an interest in the hallowed land to seize it, and claim it as his own, to gain full control over those that resided there. When Yharim ordered that Calamitas be sent down to...”reason with” the hellqueen, Daeria did not take kindly to her intrusion, and did battle with the brimstone witch. After managing to fend her off for quite some time, boasting invulnerabilities to much of the witch’s magic, the hellish keeper was left severely weakened and, relatively speaking, on the brink of death. Seeing her deed as done, Calamitas proceeded to clear out the rest of Daeria’s various subjects in short order, and the hellish psuedo-monarch could only watch as her influence dwindled to none, her very spirit crushed by what she witnessed unfolding. Every servant killed, another thrall to the witch’s cause, another sinner at her command...knowing for certain that there was also the other extreme to worry of, Daeria utilized her magic to summon Titania to her aid. But alas, Yharim had already reached her, the hallowed overseer managing to fend off her newfound opponent for quite some time before finally falling, weakened perhaps much less severely from the battle. She was gone just a brilliant flash of light later, and it would be the last time the Jungle Tyrant, or anyone aside from Daeria, would see her again for quite some time.

As Calamitas left with her fulfilled orders, and Yharim finally began to slaughter the hallowed souls with their protector seemingly defeated, Daeria devised a plan to save herself and her sister. She used her remaining magical power to reanimate the bodies of those Calamitas had not taken for herself, those the hellqueen had been saving to sate her appetites --- and she created a damned monstrosity of flesh, of muscle and misdeeds, soon to be fueled by Daeria herself. The hellqueen insisted that Titania, too, hide her pride and glory away with herself, inside the golem. Titania hesitantly agreed, and as Yharim finally neared the finishing point of his hallowed conquest, the place suddenly...vanished, seemingly replaced as if nothing had ever been there. The entirety of the Hallow had been stored, along with the hallowed overseer herself, into Daeria’s great golem --- and in doing so, Titania had effectively protected her beloved Hallow for good. Similarly, the most vile manifestations of the Corruption and the Crimson had disappeared, leaving only a small fractional relic of the hellqueen Daeria’s once-great rule of vice; the hellish dominatrix and her holy sibling were now effectively the batteries of the unholy amalgamation of flesh and hatred.

The Wall of Flesh, as it has come to be known, is an unstable being by its very nature, fueled by necromantic magic and the hellqueen’s nigh-endless desire for revenge. Yet it remains obscure, hidden away by the underworld’s lava, in hopes that it is never found and its components not ravaged again. It is said that a sacrifice of sufficiently conflicting natures for both of the spirits could draw the Wall out of obscurity, allowing it to be defeated and its creators freed once more, but rumors of said sacrifice are highly exaggerated and nobody has ever managed to actually confirm what this sacrifice is.

What should be noted is this: For their own separate reasons, they both despise indirect murder.
