Aedis

"There was no other way to escape your world. I saw it, Quolas. I saw your sun go supernova and batter your world with the flames of hell, and you... you stood above."

- Tokimi to Quolas

Aedis was a planet in the Aedana Star Cluster that orbited Aedana. It was home to the Aedisian species, including Quolas and Genetoes.

History
As a planet in the Aedana Star Cluster, which was located close to the center of the universe, it can be assumed that Aedis was among the earliest planets to come into existence. For aeons, Aedana nurtured Aedis with her warmth and shielded the planet against the ravenous forces of the primordial cosmos by vaporizing anything that posed a threat to it with solar emissions. As the Aedisians developed as a species and turned their gaze towards the heavens, they took note of Aedana's actions and weaved a vast web of lore that detailed her history and that of the surrounding stars. Whether through coincidence or providence, the Aedisians' mythology turned out to accurately describe Aedana and her kin as Living Stars who ruled over time itself and carried the souls of those they deemed worthy into a new life beyond Aedis, who were henceforth referred to by the Aedisians as Sha'lythe.

Eventually, Aedana and her kindred in the cluster began to approach the end of their life cycles, teetering on the verge of becoming supernovae. This presented them with an impossible dilemma: they could warp away to another part of the universe to avoid destroying Aedis and its people, but to do so would leave them without light and warmth, which would also doom them to death. Aedana decided to remain and hold back her eruption for as long as possible, hoping that another solution could be found, and if not, to provide the Aedisians with as much more time as she possibly could.

Having learned of Aedana's weakness, Eclipse arrived in the Aedana Star Cluster and consumed the other Living Stars one by one, adding their strength to his own. As Aedana witnessed this, the stress caused her to inadvertently release a solar emission that battered Aedis and caused an unknown number of deaths, leading some Aedisians, such as Genetoes, to question her benevolence, although Quolas retained faith in Aedana. No longer able to rely on Aedana to protect them from Eclipse, the six nations of Aedis rallied their armies on Mount Lei'himelin, the highest peak of their world, to face Eclipse with their own metal spears in defiance. Faced with no other option, Aedana decided that she would use the last of her remaining strength to call upon the rest of the Living Stars across the universe for assistance, hoping that, between them all, they would be able to convert the population of the entire planet into Sha'lythe, thereby ensuring that no lives would be lost. However, before Aedana could put her plan into motion, Eclipse attacked and began to consume her, further draining her powers and strength.

Eclipse then cast a spell known as Damnation upon the planet that slowed the flow of time and immobilized the Aedisians, holding them in place while his chaotic tendrils devoured the souls of the weak. After utilizing the same process that the Living Stars used to identify Sha'lythe candidates to identify the strong, Eclipse offered them the chance to become Kra'lythe instead, claiming that Aedana had intended for them to die all along but that he had come to save them. Although many, like Genetoes, eagerly swore allegiance to Eclipse to prevent the Living Stars from committing similar atrocities, Quolas reluctantly pledged allegiance only so that he could use his powers as a Kra'lythe to determine the truth of the situation and eventually return to that day so that he could save his people.

In 150,084 CMT (Day 76 of The Mazkertis Paradox arc), Tsunami acquired a memory tablet that contained Aedana's account of the destruction of Aedis, which confirmed that she had intended to save Aedis all along and that her plan to save it could have been possible if not for Eclipse. When Tsunami gave the tablet to Quolas, Quolas asked her to teleport him to the Kra'lythe's homeworld of Urka-Nazkarath so that he could convince the former Aedisians among the Kra'lythe of Eclipse's treachery, starting with Genetoes.
