AZOTH

Causality Recording Engine 03, AZOTH (第03因果律記述機関AZOTH) is an 아티팩트 system that records cause and effect. Thus far its only known application has been the 검은 사서.

AZOTH being referred to as the third engine implies there are at least two more like it.

Background

Around the time of the 대붕괴, 중재자 아르노르 activates AZOTH and starts its recording of events in 에레보니아. It would do so for 1206 years until registering what it believed to be the end of the world. The system terminates its task, stopping its recording before the end of the 요르문간드 전역. The system describes, but is unable to take into consideration the illogical nature of humanity.

Its identity as the author of the 검은 사서 would not be described until the thirteenth and final volume, which would fall into the hands of 마르셀 닐센 and through 토마스 라이샌더's translation end up with 린 슈바르처.

영웅전설 시작의 궤적

AZOTH's duty should have finished once the 거대한 황혼 ended. However, due to the birth of the 특이점 엘리시온 and the danger it posed to cause and effect, AZOTH is forced to wake up and predicts that in this time, it is not possible for people to defeat Elysium. For the first time in 1200 years, AZOTH has finally decided to directly intervene by assisting the three protagonists and their corresponding companions in developing their potential and skills. It creates a new phase space similar to the 환영의 나라 and invites three main protagonists and their groups to challenge its 몽환회랑. Even though people would not remember this place once they return to the real world, the strength and power in any form they develop can be brought with them. Since the people come and leave the plane almost at the same minute, their growth in strength is unexpected by Elysium, thus creating a chance for humans to defeat the singularity.

After the defeat of Elysium, AZOTH finds itself unable to shut down the programs of Reverie Corridor. Under the investigations of the guests, they realize that Elysium recreated 데미우르고스 as trump card against AZOTH beforehand. After they free Demiourgos and allow her to return to slumber, AZOTH is finally able to access all the programs of the Reverie Corridor. Before AZOTH also goes into eternal slumber, it allows the guests to take back the some of the experience in this fictional world in the form of a dream, hoping it will help them in the future. Also, AZOTH declares that there still exists greater threats in 제무리아 and in the future AZOTH would not be able to activate itself again and offer help. It wish all the best for the people and hope their friendship and bonds make meaningful choices and overcome new challenges.

Trivia
