Fettered

Gods whose Intents are dangerous, destructive, or morally corrosive. These sources are contained first and harvested second. Some provide useful output. Others are simply too risky to release.

Ruin

Origin: CSR-046 | Harvested: ~380 years ago

Extracted not because Trisurus wanted a god of destruction, but because leaving one behind in a collapsing sphere risked unpredictable consequences. Ruin's output feeds controlled demolition systems, entropy research, and Gyre analysis programs that require destructive-frequency energy to function. Ruin is heavily monitored. Its pocket dimension is austere by design: a population that worships destruction must be given something to destroy, but the something must be renewable, and the destruction must loop. The Planar Engineering Division describes the pocket dimension's internal cycle as "self-consuming equilibrium." The population inside would describe it differently if anyone asked them.

Entropy

Origin: CSR-047 | Harvested: ~370 years ago

Manages decay, waste processing, and material recycling at a civilizational scale. Abundance generates waste. Production systems create objects, objects are used, objects are discarded. Entropy's output powers the systems that break discarded matter back down to elemental components for resynthesis. Without Entropy, Trisurus would face a waste management crisis within decades. The god of decay keeping a civilization clean is a functional irony that the Planar Engineering Division does not find amusing.

Shadow

Origin: CSR-048 | Harvested: ~360 years ago

Powers stealth technology, cloaking systems, and espionage countermeasures. Shadow's output is primarily military: the cloaking fields that hide rescue ships approaching hostile collapse zones, the counter-surveillance systems that protect classified installations, and the intelligence-gathering tools used by Consortium security services. Shadow is also used domestically in ways that internal policy documents describe as "protective monitoring." The line between protecting citizens and surveilling them is drawn by the people who control Shadow's conduit.

Oblivion

Origin: CSR-051 | Harvested: ~300 years ago

The most feared source in the network. Oblivion's domain is the ending of things: not destruction (that is Ruin's territory) but cessation. The complete and permanent end of a process, a pattern, a life, a memory. The Consortium harvested Oblivion for one specific theoretical application: if the Gyre is a cycle, Oblivion might be able to end it.

This theory has never been tested. The energy required would likely destroy Oblivion's pocket dimension and its population. The ethical clearance for such a test does not exist and has never been requested. Oblivion sits in containment, its output siphoned at minimal levels to keep the conduit infrastructure maintained and ready.

Three senior Consortium officials have access to the Oblivion contingency file. Its contents are not recorded in any other document. The file is reviewed once per decade. Each review has concluded that the situation does not yet warrant activation.

The word "yet" has appeared in every review summary.
