Tenebris

Tenebris is a secret society in the Clarkwoods Literary Universe which is dedicated to keeping secret the nature of reality. The men of Tenebris have been tasked by the sister goddesses to act as their representatives inside the CLU, and with preventing the sapient beings of the universe from discovering that they are living inside a simulation.

Since The Second Age of Eden, Tenebris has headquartered themselves inside the Faux Ben in Reekian London. They also maintain offices in Kirbyville, where they can oversee the operations of The Unwrecking Crew, and on The Skerry of Souvenirs, which grants them access to the universe outside of Eden.

Tenebris is infamous for infiltrating governments and organizations through the CLU, though the general public believes Tenebris to be nothing more than an urban legend which has been exaggerated by conspiracy theorists. Their most egregious act came in the Second Age when they, aware that they were part of a simulation themselves, prompted the The Democratic Republic of the Reek to begin the social experiment of Reekian London—where lifelike humanoid robots roam the streets of a replica of the English capital as it stood in 1904.

This experiment was supposedly greenlit in an effort to determine what factors may have led a Londoner to travel through time during the Earth-666 iteration of reality and cause a Calamity in the process. But now that the city has persisted for over a thousand years and its citizens have never been allowed to learn the nature of their reality, many Edenians view the existence of Reekian London as the ultimate sapient-rights violation.

And the Sister Goddesses, the patrons of Tenebris, what do they think? Well, they grow more and more nervous that Tenebris is losing their grip. And if the citizens of the universe the Goddesses created ever learned the nature of their reality, what then? What would there be left to do but reboot the whole damn thing—Eden included this time around?
