Essence

Essence is the invisible energetic force believed to exist within all living beings.

Many ancient records describe Essence as the foundation of consciousness, memory and identity itself. While invisible to most ordinary individuals, certain entities possess the ability to manipulate, sense or corrupt Essence directly.

The exact origin of Essence remains unknown.

Some researchers believe Essence is naturally generated by life itself, while others theorise it originates from an external dimensional force connected to the Hollow Gates.

Essence is heavily connected to Resonance phenomena. When multiple Essence signatures synchronise, unstable energetic reactions may occur. These events have been linked to:

• portal creation
• memory corruption
• dimensional fractures
• biological mutation

Several historical catastrophes are believed to have involved large-scale Essence destabilisation.

The Boneman is frequently associated with abnormal Essence manipulation, though surviving records remain incomplete.
