List of miscellanea in The Amory Wars
This is a list of miscellaneous subjects from The Amory Wars.
Locations
Heaven's Fence
78 planets divided into 12 sectors. Each Sector was given a capital planet and 5 follower planets, except for 7 and 12 which had 8 followers.
Bendelish
The heart of Star IV of Heaven's Fence and the home base of the Prise.
Hetricus
Little is known AbOUT this planet, other than that it is the homeworld of Coheed Kilgannon.
Dil-Ariuth IX
A desert world that is the home of the Tra-Nuvis Monks located in Sector 12 of "Heaven's Fence." It is the current location and hiding spot of Mariah Antillerea.
Mythology
The Book of the Ghansgraad
A book mentioned by Ryan that foretells the prophecy of The Crowing, described as "The Son of Three", in this case, Coheed, Cambria and Jesse.
The Crowing
A mythological creature whose role as a Messiah is to save the souls of Heaven's Fence by destroying it, as God intended if the Prise failed. It is speculated that Dr. Leonard Hohenberger engineered the Monstar virus to mimic the effect of the Crowing. Coheed, the carrier of the Monstar virus, failed to carry out his mission, thus leaving Claudio to become the Crowing and finish the job.
Races
Man
Whilst under the rule of more powerful inhabitants of Heaven's Fence, man's designation was to maintain and harvest the planets.
Mage
In each of the twelve sectors, a single Mage was given the authority to rule all other races. Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan is the most notable member of this race.
Prise
Created by God to guard the Keywork, their duty is to intervene if man dabbles in God's affairs. However, if they challenge God when he comes to change the face of man, he will destroy all existence. It is specifically mentioned though, that the Mages are not mentioned in these instructions from God.
Organizations
The Onstantine Priests
These enemies are extremely deadly, and work for Wilhelm Ryan to hunt down The Crowing. They were contained at House Atlantic in glass "tombs". They are released some time in between Devil in Jersey City and Everything Evil. The Priests are 8 of the 12 Mages that ruled before the Mage War. Wilhelm Ryan took the 8 remaining Mages and transformed them into all seeing, blood-thirsty watchers.
The United Red Army
An elite, dangerous force dressed in red armour resembling a Star Wars Storm Trooper. Under the command of General Mayo Dentinwolf, these numerous soldiers (closely resembling numbers again of the Storm Trooper clone army) take part in the [...] of Dr. Leonard Hohenberger, and the kidnapping of Coheed and Cambria. Further actions of the URA have yet to be narrated in the coming of future issues of The Amory Wars published by Image comics.
The Tra-Nuvis Monks
This ensemble of men were responsible for discovering and tending to Mariah Antillerea early in her life. They found her on a riverbank as an infant and three years later, a rare viral plague swept through the monastery. As they tried to remove her from the facility, she escaped and in turn healed all those inflicted by the plague. They house Mariah in their city on Dil-Ariuth IX in Sector 12 as first shown in the July, 2007 issue of The Amory Wars.
Technology
The Blood Machine
A machine that Long-Arm & Butchie Bleam construct, to get the soul out of a dead body, which basically tears a body to shreds. In 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3', A song possibly refers to 'My brothers blood machine' as Jesse speaking about Claudio's heart.
The Keywork
A visible beam of light that goes through each planet and supplies energy. This is powered by the seven Star-Transformers.
Monstar Virus
A fluid surrounding Coheed's heart. If the serum is injected into Coheed he will become very powerful, and drain energy from The Keywork.
Sinstar Virus
A more powerful variant of the Monstar Virus, passed down by Coheed and Cambria to their children. The virus' existence is disputed as a plot by Wilhelm Ryan to make Coheed kill his children to PReVENT The Crowing (which was one of the four children) from living. Another popular theory is that the Sinstar Virus was actually "The Crowing Effect"
Stars of Sirius
Massive generators which power The Keywork. In the Keywork symbol, the center circle is Star IV.
