In the days of the [[Holy Celestine Empire]], [[Emperor Ladantine VII]] declared his intention to send [[Celest]]ian researchers out into the farthest reaches of the planescape to discover what laid beyond the [[Cosmic Plane]]s. [[Project Cosmic Hope]] was supported by the Grand Vizier of [[Magnagora]], [[Rushdam d'Murani]], and [[Ghani n'Rotri]] of the [[Master Prophets]] made very public claims of optimism regarding the potential success of the Project, and members of the [[Illuminati]] in [[Gaudiguch]] also stood in support of the Emperor. Researchers in [[Hallifax]] and leaders of the [[Gloriana Preserve]] were much more skeptical, and [[Rowena Nightshade]] made an impassioned plea in front of the Board of Governors in Hallifax in an effort to convince them to withdraw their support. | In the days of the [[Holy Celestine Empire]], [[Emperor Ladantine VII]] declared his intention to send [[Celest]]ian researchers out into the farthest reaches of the planescape to discover what laid beyond the [[Cosmic Plane]]s. | ||

[[The Fates]] were consulted during preparations for the Project, and they made a series of prophesies in line with their character: "You will find that which you seek... Your name will be remembered through time... You will die and be reborn. You shall live and not live to see the fruits of your fate." In hindsight, everything they spoke of would indeed become truth, but not in the way the Emperor believed it to be. | [[The Fates]] were consulted during preparations for the Project, and they made a series of prophesies in line with their character: "You will find that which you seek...

When it came time to select which of the protectorates' [[:Category:Nexuses of Power|Nexuses of Power]] would be the official launching site of the Project, leaders of Gaudiguch and Magnagora lobbied strongly to be chosen. Hallifax, who had previously denied access to their [[Matrix]] for use in the Project, later rescinded that decision and invited the Emperor's researchers to choose their city. Weeks later, an Imperial Proclamation announced that on the 13th of Gorgani, in the year 543 IE, Project Cosmic Hope would launch from [[the Stone of Truth]] in Magnagora. | When it came time to select which of the protectorates' [[:Category:Nexuses of Power|Nexuses of Power]] would be the official launching site of the Project, leaders of Gaudiguch and Magnagora lobbied strongly to be chosen.

The Emperor and his expedition team successfully breached the planescape to discover what he would name the [[Astral Plane]], but when they began to channel a great reservoir of energy back to the Stone of Truth, they unleashed what historians would refer to as the [[Taint]]. It corrupted the [[Holy Emanations]] of [[Shallamar]] and turned them into the [[:Category:Demon Lords|Demon Lords]]. | The Emperor and his expedition team successfully breached the planescape to discover what he would name the [[Astral Plane]], but when they began to channel a great reservoir of energy back to the Stone of Truth, they unleashed what historians would refer to as the [[Taint]].
