This changelog keeps record of changes made to the site, with the most recent at the top. This does not include updates to the prompt or the Edeia/Fusion/Fission of the Month.
12/7/25
Added communication abilities and senses in Edeiology, along with some additions to metaphysical manipulation.
11/30/25
11/4/25
Added a section on Edeia wellbeing, including some dissociation lore I just never documented, and some new lore on dispiritedness. Also added a bit on soul damage.
Advanced lore updates:
Expanded magitechnology lore with a new Power subsection, including more specific terminology.
Added a section on Supergovernment Contracts on the United Society Details page.
The Alcove has been added as a location, and Cryols have been added as an ideogenic species.
10/6/25
The Setting page has been cleaned up a bit, with some of the lore moved to a new United Society Details page, which covers lore details about united society that are too detailed and/or specific to fit well on the main Setting page! This lore is not strictly necessary for developing your characters or for a general understanding of united society, but you may make use of it if you wish. Added lore on:
magitechnology, including examples
foster care, including how Edeia can be involved
service platforms, which have existed for a while but just didn't have a good place
added an Education section on the united society details page, plus a note regarding prejudice in general details
9/26/25
Added an Idea Classification Guide to help think about different constructions and types of Ideas, and when additional requirements would be needed.
additional character details needed for "negative experience" Ideas and concrete Ideas.
definitions/interpretations needed for ambiguous, obscure, or new terms, as well as concrete Ideas.
For the sake of organization, there is now a separate subpage for ritual magic, and there have been some adjustments to the lore.
The lore has been organized and streamlined. Hopefully it's easier to digest!
A section on ritual magic in society has been added.
some terminology has been added - spell, enchantment, blessing, curse.
there is now a term for the "Keeper" of a ritual. Without the Keeper's subconscious knowledge, one must properly learn the steps of how to conduct a ritual.
some clarifications on how knowledge of rituals affects the strength of its effects:
a decrease in power for minor rituals only occurs if the exact knowledge of how to conduct the ritual is learned. Knowledge of the minor ritual's existence does not affect its power.
there is a minor decrease in the power of major rituals if their existence becomes known, but the power drop is much more drastic if more people learn how to conduct the ritual exactly.
9/8/25
"Evolution" has been added as a form type for ideogenic species. This can be used for species that originate from direct creation by Edeia, though they must gain their soul through some consistent other means. Koshintai is one example.
Permissions for ideogenic species have had definitions clarified a bit:
Open: Anyone can create members of the ideogenic species. These species can be considered "open species" and "public lore," and can be created and used freely without permission
Ask: You must ask the creator of the ideogenic species to create one. These species can usually be considered "semi-open species" and "personal lore," and the owner should be asked before creating any characters or using the lore for their own stories.
8/7/25
Anomalies are now described officially in the ML, including a blurb on the conditions that led to them occurring and the characteristics of the anomaly.
The CSMA Affliction Generator, created by cellar_whales, has been added to the CSMA page.
