[edit] Locations
[edit] Heaven's Fence
The galaxy in which the events of The Amory Wars takes place. 78 planets divided into 12 sectors. Each Sector was given a capital planet and 5 follower planets, except for 7 and 12 which had 8 followers.
[edit] Bendelish
The heart of Star IV of Heaven's Fence and the home base of the Prise.
[edit] Hetricus
Little is known about this planet, other than that it is the homeworld of Coheed Kilgannon.
[edit] Dil-Ariuth IX
A desert world that is the home of the Tra-Nuvis Monks located in Sector 12 of "Heaven's Fence." It is the current location and hiding spot of Mariah Antillerea.
[edit] House Atlantic
House Atlantic is the lair in which Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan resides. It's located on the planet Apity Prime in the Omega star system and is adjacent to the city of Kalline.
[edit] Shylos 10
Claudio's hiding place for ten years after the Second Stage Turbine Blade, Shylos 10 is in the fence's quiet quarter where The Red Army preforms brutal interrogations.
[edit] Star IV
One of the stars within Heaven's Fence, the home of the Prise is in the centre of it, Bendelish. Towards the end of Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, after The Writer kills Ambellina, he mutters the words "You're burning Star IV" to The Crowing. The album sleeve of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 has the words "My dearest Apollo,[sic] I'll be burning Star IV".
[edit] Mythology
[edit] The Book of the Ghansgraad
A book mentioned by Ryan that foretells the prophecy of The Crowing, described as "The Son of Three", in this case, Coheed, Cambria and Jesse.
[edit] The Crowing
A mythological creature whose role as a Messiah is to save the souls of Heaven's Fence by destroying it, as God intended if the Prise failed. It is speculated that Dr. Leonard Hohenberger engineered the Monstar virus to mimic the effect of the Crowing. Coheed, the carrier of the Monstar virus, failed to carry out his mission, thus leaving Claudio to become the Crowing and finish the job.
[edit] Races
[edit] Man
Whilst under the rule of more powerful inhabitants of Heaven's Fence, man's designation was to maintain and harvest the planets.
[edit] IRO-bot
Genetically enhanced humans, IRO-bots were members of a defunct organization known as K.B.I.: the Knowledge, the Beast, and the Inferno. The organization's purpose was to protect the Keywork from terrorist activity.
[edit] Mage
In each of the twelve sectors, a single mage was given the authority to rule all other races. Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan is the most notable member of this race.
[edit] Onstantine Priest
After the mage war, in which Ryan became the Supreme Tri-Mage, the mages who were defeated were enslaved by the new emperor. Mutated into the Onstantine Priests, they are now ruthless killing machines who serve the Supreme Tri-Mage. Throughout the course of The Amory Wars, they hunt Claudio.
[edit] First Born
Much like the Priests, they were once mages. The extent of their mutation however, has resulted in them no longer being humanoids, but instead a huge Pterodactyl-like creature. The First Born, capable of imitating humanoid creatures, were set out to find Claudio after the first Priest's failed, and resulted in killing Patrick.
[edit] Prise
Created by God to guard the Keywork, their duty is to intervene if man dabbles in God's affairs. However, if they challenge God when he comes to change the face of man, he will destroy all existence. It is specifically mentioned though, that the mages are not mentioned in these instructions from God.
[edit] Organizations
[edit] The Onstantine Priests
These enemies are extremely deadly, and work for Wilhelm Ryan to hunt down The Crowing. They were contained at House Atlantic in glass "tombs". They are released some time in between Devil in Jersey City and Everything Evil. The Priests are eight of the twelve Mages that ruled before the Mage War. Wilhelm Ryan took the four remaining Mages and transformed them into all seeing, blood-thirsty watchers.
[edit] The United Red Army
An elite, dangerous force dressed in red armour resembling a Star Wars Storm Trooper. Under the command of General Mayo Denftinwolf, these numerous soldiers (closely resembling numbers again of the Storm Trooper clone army) take part in the murder of Dr. Leonard Hohenberger, and the kidnapping of Coheed and Cambria. Further actions of the URA have yet to be narrated in the coming of future issues of The Amory Wars published by Image comics.
[edit] The Tra-Nuvis Monks
This ensemble of men were responsible for discovering and tending to Mariah Antillerea early in her life. They found her on a riverbank as an infant and three years later, a rare viral plague swept through the monastery. As they tried to remove her from the facility, she escaped and in turn healed all those inflicted by the plague. They house Mariah in their city on Dil-Ariuth IX in Sector 12 as first shown in the July, 2007 issue of The Amory Wars.
[edit] Technology
[edit] The Blood Machine
A machine that Long-Arm & Butchie Bleam construct in order to exctract the souls of dead bodies, which basically tears a body to shreds.
In the song 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3', there is a possible lyrical reference to 'My brothers blood machine' as Jesse speaking about Coheed's (or possibly Claudio's) heart, which contains a virus (the Monstar and Sinstar, respectively) ultimately capable of cooling the Star transformers, thereby destroying Heaven's Fence.
It is also theorized that the line 'Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine' is a direct reference from Jesse about the Bleam brothers' contraption, based on the assumption that it actually is capable of extracting the soul. The souls of Heaven's Fence have been enslaved as an energy source in the Keywork (see issues 3 and 5 of The Amory Wars and the Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV: Volume One graphic novel), and it is possible that the Bleam brothers' blood machine is used to capture the souls of the dead in order to integrate them into the Keywork.
[edit] The Keywork
A visible beam of light that goes through each planet and supplies energy. This is powered by the seven Star-Transformers.
[edit] Monstar Virus
A virus that, when activated, overwrites its host's personality and causes the host to have only one objective, the destruction of the keywork and heaven's fence. The Monstar can accomplish this for it has the ability to cool the Stars of Sirius that hold the Keywork in place.
[edit] Sinstar Virus
A more powerful variant of the Monstar Virus, passed down by Coheed and Cambria to their children. The virus' existence is disputed as a plot by Wilhelm Ryan to make Coheed kill his children to prevent The Crowing (which was one of the four children) from living. Another popular theory is that the Sinstar Virus was actually "The Crowing Effect"
[edit] Stars of Sirius
Massive generators which power The Keywork. In the Keywork symbol, the center circle is Star IV.
