Sigilverse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sigilverse, also known as the CrossGen Universe, is a fictional shared universe which served as a setting for most titles published by CrossGen Comics. Except for El Cazador, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and a handful of flashbacks, all CrossGen Universe titles are set in the future (the 900th century to be precise). Recognising that tightly interconnected shared universes such as the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe tended to confuse and alienate new readers, the creators of the CrossGen Universe set most titles on separate planets. That way, characters from different series wouldn't bump into each other on a regular basis (as often happens in other shared universes). Still, there were connections. Some of them were obvious. Others could only be found through careful observation.

[edit] Origins

The history of the Sigilverse begins hundreds of centuries ago on a small blue planet called Earth. Inhabiting this planet was a race of beings known as the Atlanteans with a long and distinguished history. Atlantean society, at the height of technological and spiritual enlightenment, performed 'transition' and asceneded to a higher plane of existence. Staying behind were those that were unworthy to ascend and others who had volunteered to watch over the human race.

The ramifications of 'transition' were cataclysmic, leaving the remaining Atlanteans suspended in stasis and Atlantis in ruins at the bottom of the ocean. The Atlanteans, in stasis, could not watch over the human race as they had intended.

Humankind developed free of Atlantean guidance, at its own pace and in its own direction. 300 centuries later, humanity attempted a technology-based 'transition' initiated by Robert Charon and Nathan Appolyon; rather than a higher plane of existence, this threw most of humanity into the universe known as the Negation.

This did not necessarily initiate an era of calm spirituality. Not at all...
