About us
AN ETERNAL COMPANY
The Erebus Corporation was conceived at the dawn of creation by the most excellent members of the Board of Shareholders. They found it necessary to adapt the original infrastructures and protocols over the millennia. We are the result.
We give solutions in exchange for compensation. Work for value. Even the human race, being primitive as it is, understood the sacredness of this transaction. In honor of the services rendered during this eternity, we are allowed to choose among the souls in transit, within a set margin, new employees to become part of our great family and to continue making us what we are. We hire, even, souls from the past that we help to adapt to new modern times. We value excellence no matter from what century it comes.
​
ETERNAL OFFICES
A mixture of modernity and antiquity, we inhabit an everchanging complex in which structures are always adapting to the fluctuating currents of the five existential rivers, the radii of the Infinite Corridors. The offices are located between its courses, taking advantage of the nooks and crannies of the multiplanar space.
​
Due to our offices existing in a stage of quantum indeterminacy, we can collectively affect its shape. Employees, sometimes, discover lonely offices when they need them, a new toilet somewhere near, or new dining spaces when there are no empty tables. But it is only the direction or the joint force of the Heads of Department the only powers that can cause great changes in the offices, normally used for renewing services, improving infrastructure, or increasing the security.
​
As you can see, it's an extremely convenient workspace.
THE INFINITE CORRIDORS
The spaces between material planes and beyond are crossed by five radii, five lines of navigation between which the corridors circulate as branches. Our offices are installed in those corridors. These radii must be crossed using the proper vehicles and doors. Why? Because non-rational and wild exo-entities called exo-plagues inhabit them.
​
In ancient times these radii were called the five rivers, namely:
Styx:
The river of hate and love. Able to feed on your own emotions and to cause two enemies to make love or two friends to cut each other's throats. The hideous Sirenian creatures inhabit and sing in its crystal atolls.
Lethe:
The wanderers have to cross the river of emptiness and fullness and then, forget who they are before entering the Asphodel. Whoever crosses it becomes one with the whole and therefore becomes nothing. Nereid creatures glide through the mists of these currents.
Acheron:
The river of pain and pleasure, whoever messes with it could find that the most immense pleasure leads to pain and vice versa, the radius will find a way to show you. The snaking gorgonian creatures move among their rivers of neuroelectrical fire.
Phlegethon:
The river of unstoppable passions and drives as well as insufferable fears. It plays with the minds of those who navigate it unprotected by playing with their synapse. Chimerical creatures swarm this organic plane and blood, that is always adapting to the psyche of the unwary.
Cocytos:
The river of the laments and joys. Where lights and darkness, hope and despair, coexist. Dark sphinx creatures dwell in their shadows and the reflections of their mirrors. They are capable of showing you visions of the beyond.
​
​
In our company, we use the energy derived from these currents to maintain our facilities, obtain resources and create our powerful Directives.
USUAL CLIENTS AND PAYMENT
We accept as payment everything that represents value and power. We use that value and power for the sake of our company. Normally we accept money because that's the most common representation of both concepts but that's not always the case. There are many other ways to pay for our services.
​
Our clients are quite diverse. From the inspire beings of the Elysium to the dark royalty of the Tartarus, mortal secret agencies and powerful loggias, without forgetting wise humans, cryptids, and exo-planar entities that need a hand.
This is a list including some of our illustrious usual clients.
​
Elysians:
The transcendent creatures, most of them called gods. They have power but also limits. They can lose their essence and become polluted if they get in touch with other planes. That's why they hire our services quite often, normally to retrieve sacred artifacts and stop dark phenomena entities.
​
​
Tartarians:
The jailkeepers of profane souls. They exorcize dangerous creatures that have been a threat to existence. They usually hire us to retrieve or capture prisoners or to bargain for certain souls.
​
​
A.C.O:
Anomaly Control Organization it's a secret group financed by several international companies and countries that study and capture exo-planar technology and cryptids. Sometimes are our opponents, sometimes our clients. We get in touch a lot.
​
​
The Golden Dawn:
This esoteric cult is one of the most powerful and cunning. Their contracts are always tricky and double-edged but the most profitable of them all. The Golden Dawn shares their knowledge with us, they don't have to attend to cosmic rules as the Elysians or the Tartarians or be careful about top-secret information as the ACO.
​
​
Cryptid society:
An underground collective made by sentient cryptids on earth that try to remain hidden to human eyes and support each other. Rescue contracts are what they usually demand from us.
