Aeon (MTAw)

Within the Astral Space, everything is personified- even the Arcana. Before the Ocean of Oroboros that marks the end of the Dreamtime and the beginning of the Abyss, the Aeonic citadels house beings that embody the Arcana, one of the last remnants of the Supernal within the reaches of the Fallen World. Some claim that the Atlanteans venerated the Aeons as archangels of magic, but when they built the Celestial Ladder, they bypassed them and when they climbed up again, they found a new citadel there and the twisting shore of unreality separating them from the Supernal. If the Aeons are a family, it is one filled with sibling rivalries. This might be founded in a common resentment of exile, or reflect a struggle with cosmic implications. They never enter one another’s Citadels, so an Aeon might ask mages to spy on her “brother,” filch some item from his Citadel or embark on a strange mission that weakens a Watchtower’s influence.

Each Aeons rules together in a realm that emulates one of the Watchtowers, except for Dahhak, who embodies both Arcana of his realm and the Old Man, who embodies the Abyss. Such a pair is known as a Syzygy. The names of the Aeons are known is High Speech but are too complicated for modern mages to be spoken. Some claim that the Aeons are mortals that were awarded with their current positions for the lives they lived and how they reflected their Arcana by some of the ascended mages, other claim that the Aeons were once mages who chose to delay final ascension to further the Supernal.
