Interlude is one of the worlds of [[Incandescence]]. It is an original setting created by Aestrix.

==Worlds==
Interlude is considered a [[:Category:Worldsheaf|worldsheaf]]. It contains multiple planes, though only two worlds are currently known to be inhabited.
===Kystle===
{{main|Kystle}}
Kystle was the original home of Interlude's [[:Category:Human|human]] population. After the [[Pythial]] invasion, its residents fled to [[New Kystle]].
===New Kystle===
{{main|New Kystle}}
New Kystle is the sanctuary of Kystle's population when they fled the [[Pythial]] invasion. With a lot of time and effort, mostly on the part of [[Adarin Sorelas (Cypress)|Adarin Sorelas]], it has become much more habitable.

==Population==
The majority of Interlude's population is made up of baseline [[:Category:Human|humans]]. The plane has been visited a few times by [[:Category:Mage (Kystle)#Fae|Fae]], who interbred with humans, leaving a small population of [[:Category:Mage (Kystle)|mages]]. Kystle also contains the remnants of the [[Pythial]] demons summoned by second bloodline mages, and a small population of those they [[Pythial|Tainted]].

==Magic==
{{main|:Category:Mage (Kystle)}}
Anyone descended from the [[:Category:Mage (Kystle)#Fae|Fae]] has the ability to do magic. The more Fae blood someone has, the more powerful they are. There are three bloodlines in existence; the first and second have become diluted and weakened and vie with each other for power, while the third consists only of the quarter-Fae twins [[Adarin Sorelas (Prime)|Adarin]] and [[Zeviana Sorelas (Fossil)|Zeviana Sorelas]]. Also, anyone who comes into contact with a [[Pythial]] may become [[Pythial|Tainted]].

==History==
{{for|history prior to the third bloodline|Kystle}}
===Third Bloodline===
The third halfblood was named [[Aliya Sorelas (Interlude)|Aliya Sorelas]], and she was discovered before her birth. She was carefully raised by the second bloodline to be as stable as possible, until a man named [[Nereus (Interlude)|Nereus]] arranged for [[Veron Barkett (Interlude)|Veron Barkett]] to kidnap her. Rather than being traumatized by the kidnapping, Aliya was delighted by the freedom, the adventure, and above all with Nereus; she became infatuated with him, and wound up pregnant. At this point a rescue effort from the second bloodline appeared, killing Nereus in the process, which set Aliya on a rampage. Veron managed to talk her down, and he and the second bloodline declared a truce rather than risk upsetting her again. Aliya went home and gave birth to twins, [[Adarin Sorelas (Cypress)|Adarin]] and [[Zeviana Nimah|Zeviana]], who were raised by a variety of disinterested second bloodline guardians until Veron intervened and took over their upbringing.
===Invasion===
Adarin and Zeviana flourished under Veron's care, but as they grew neither expressed any interest in bearing children. Dismayed by the twins' refusal to cooperate with their dynastic plans, the second bloodline went searching for more magic themselves. This led them to summon the [[Pythial]], who promptly went on a murderous rampage. Adarin and Zeviana left home in the chaos to fight the invasion; during their absence the Pythial found Aliya, who promptly blew herself up, taking Veron and the entire city with her. Adarin held up a shield while Zeviana rounded up survivors; once Adarin's shield collapsed, the remaining mages evacuated all the refugees to [[New Kystle]].
===Aftermath===

tl;dr Cypress and Olympia got the hell out and left the assholes to their fate and Marri will get to this later.
