Sergius Wanderlay

The Wielding Cosmology was first drafted in 2199 by Sergius Wanderlay, a renowned physicist turned mystic and philosopher, three years after developing powers he could not explain.

Wanderlay abandoned his lucrative career as a researcher, choosing to focus his considerable genius on understanding the source and purpose of this power. For more than three years he delved into everything from the loftiest theories on metaphysics to the darkest corners of the occult. In the end, he found no real answers, but knew he - and others like him - would need something to help them understand the origin of this power. Wanderlay knew there was something intangible linking earthly physiology with the energy of the universe. He could feel it, and through Wielding he could see its effects, but he could never define it. So, he set out to build his model of the Wielding Cosmology as a hybrid of the solar system and atomic models he knew so well as a physicist, keenly aware of the genetic link he felt existed between Wielders and the source of their power.

The Cosmology describes the sources and intentions of a Wielder’s seemingly supernatural power. Since his death in 2259, numerous versions of the Wielding Cosmology have been built and studied by Wanderlay’s successors. None have been able to improve upon his original vision in any meaningful way (3.7).
