Overview:
The Numinous Constraint Agency is an extra-dimensional, multi-dimensional bureau tasked with maintaining a balance in the multi-verse in the spirit of a grand bargain called ‘The Trinity’. It is headed by a dream-creature called ‘Arteus the Faun’ and it is staffed by variously talented Agent recruits. These are through the annals of The Agency Tales revealed to the author with dream-sendings.
The staff of the Numinous Constraint Agency are drawn from the ranks of forgotten gods, demi-gods, mythical creatures of various types, also mortal Human beings who uniquely possess a ‘tongue of flame’, whom are thus called ‘torches’. El D’Or Dieux tells of the mission of the demi-god Rusta Barca and the giant Argus Panoptes assist the Chahokian Sorceress Dona Raffi defeat a terrible chonchon threat to poison the birth of the fifth sun; the Nahui-Ollin. While doing so, the demi-god halts the battle in the Flowery War between the Emperors forces and the Golden Alliance, and processes past trauma while Argus recruits a new bruja torch.
What if…? The linear progression of Time has chinks in it, and recorded history is just an artefact? What if all the New World Kingdoms and Cultures were purposely destroyed by a malevolent, entropic force, an actual enemy to all of humankind? What if Reality itself could be corrupted by etherial creatures that feed on humanities darkest urges, and manifest those in the birth of a New Sun?
Argus Panoptes -the contrary giant, a rival and perpetual frenemy of the demi-god Rusta Barca must overhaul his feelings as he assists Dona Raffi in her quest. Humbled by the sacrifices the mortal torches Dona Raffi and the bruja Cualli are prepared to make, Argus must evolve his relationship with Rusty and accept the nature of his friendship with the demi-god.
