Key Elements of Chronicles of Aqueron

Introduction of Fundamental Concepts:
In Chronicles of Aqueron, the Exo are introduced as The Builders, and the stellar nexuses or anomalies are known as The Breach. The series also presents the enigmatic Archons and the Igigi, while exploring for the first time the figure of the Red Messiah, an archetype of great importance in the overarching narrative of this multiverse.

Setting and Context:
The series is set in a dark and cold Victorian London, shrouded in a perpetual eclipse. From there, the protagonists embark on a journey that takes them through The Breach, located over the Orkney Islands north of Scotland. This event serves as the catalyst for their arrival in the medieval world of Aqueron, where they face unimaginable horrors and challenges in a struggle for survival.

Connection with Other Series:
Although Chronicles of Aqueron may not initially seem to have a direct connection to Legends of the Black Sun, both series converge in The Purity, which serves as the central conjunction of the multiverse and later continues with Song of Chaos and Darkness.

Narrative Development and Character Evolution:
Throughout the series, from the arrival of the HMS Demeter in Aqueron to the Great Battle of Gehenna in Rocamar, years of evolution shape the main characters. Figures such as Jonah Fox, Cinia, Andreas Lamper, Covind, and many others from the Fourth Section, face countless threats and alliances. Their resilience and development in a hostile yet captivating environment of epic darkness stand out as a testament to their strength.

Series Structure:
Chronicles of Aqueron consists of four volumes and will pave the way for its continuation in the series Red Messiah. This thematic and narrative evolution allows for an exploration of the roots of many fundamental storylines of the multiverse, set thousands of years after the initial events, offering a deeper understanding of the characters and events that shape The Purity and beyond.

This series, with its atmosphere of mystery and danger in a shadow-drenched London and its transition to a medieval world filled with epic challenges, establishes the foundations for the first major expansion of the Continuus Nexus and is absolutely essential for understanding the complexities of its many interwoven storylines.
