Yeah, it's supposed to be the Climax. Albeit I'm thinking on spreading it out a little so it's not a mess of everyone killing everyone all in one day. When I wrote it down... all the killing didn't feel... Justified. As though everyone dying then and there just kinda looses some weight to it all...
Ok to give myself some direction again, I'll tackle the question on the races next. This will be where I start developing the culture of Venturia properly... Even though I myself don't know what the culture would be like... I don't know whether to tackle it by race, planet, or... Both? The main challenge is that a lot of things in life are when two or more cultures intersect (...pretty much the internet I guess...). How each culture would interact with the other...
I can do something with the Arcain´s both sides (Luminarcs and Noxarcs), The demonarcs (Umbras, Bias, Arachnae) I got pretty good ideas with the Noxarc race if my theory is right, they have or had some sort of stable civilization? (thinking of the locust of gears of war, but without the slave and war stuff)
Also, if you give me brief descriptions of the Council of twelve (like the species or bloodlines) I can do some drafts about each one, for what I understand, they are some sort of democracy
Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Ok first part: Yes, the Arcains in general are parts of stable civilization. They balance order and chaos. Luminarcs and Noxarcs are those that uphold one or the other. Demonarcs are more a byproduct of chaos. Part of me had been debating on whether the Light and Dark Mages of Alcyon are actually Luminarcs and Noxarcs.
The Council of Twelve is dominated by Prometheos nobility. Aion is one of the Twelve. Aion's bloodline is of the Masters of Time, those that can make Time listen to their command. Of course Time doesn't always listen...but that's just to make it interesting. The other 11... I don't know what to do with them... Maybe all the elementals... Oh I forgot: one is actually Arcain pretending to be Prometheos.
Ok I got a question that needs suggestions or even more questions and I think this might help other things...
One central object of the story is the GAIA Computer.
For something this important to other parts of the plot, I actually have little on its origins. Who created it and what was their motives? For a while I've been brushing it off as a research item... But I feel this is not a strong enough alone without a "who" and "why."
Also where it was built is another sticking point... I know I have the detail that the GAIA computer was moved to the Manor... But that's a bit absurd now that I think about it; the shear scale of the GAIA computer would mean it can't be moved.
How about the GAIA computer was built in that place and then the Manor was built after to protect it?
The who would have been a group of the biggest scientist of another civilizarion to stop an intergalactic war and when the computer was built for it's purpose (which the people of our time don't know about) and got left behind to be used again to protect/restart the galaxy
Think of Mass Effect story with Reapers or Mario Galaxy cycle theory with Rosalina

True... I could use the Caeles for that. That would make the GAIA Computer another artifact. Then with the part where Nyx takes interest in it and upgrades it using the Manor would make sense.
Then maybe I could use the notion that it was used to create the Venturian Galaxy after the original was destroyed probably by a war as you're suggesting... But that leaves how it was destroyed originally. ...which I think could be answered with the Nihiliods. Parasites that are known as planet killers... ...so that would mean the greatest threat to the galaxy is the Nihiliods... ...I should reevaluate parts of the timeline to reflect this. The fact Nihiliods existed before the first era and they survived all the way to even the seventh era...
Ok this is another big turning point... Maybe instead of a massive civil war started over the Blood Tome... Maybe it's something to do with the Nihiliods...
They're supposed to be resilient... Which would explain why the "war" lasted so long...
I'm not certain if this makes more sense than what already exists...
You can use the Reapers cycle with the Nihiloids, they have been alive from an unknown time and corrupt the living beings to gather more resources and when the GAIA computer was used, the massive energy released damaged it causing the loss of the main use of it.

Ok so (because I can't access my spreadsheet due to reinstalling OS on computer)
Nihiliods do what they do best: wiping out life in the Galaxy. The Caeles create the GAIA Computer to recreate the Galaxy and stop the spread of the Nihiliods. GAIA Computer was created on Nox of Venion.
Caeles are succesful. First Era starts and the Caeles realize that by restarting the galaxy, new lifeforms are born. Arcains and Prometheos.
Caeles, worried about what their presence might have on the new races, leave the dimension with the use of the GAIA Computer.
Fast forward to the Phoenix Incident in Era of the Dawn and proceed.
Ok this explains the origins of everything... Kinda... What does this not explain?
I don't know, the galaxy is a big place, we can try to explain how the computer works and how it restarted the cycle, was it a massive blackhole and doing a second Big Bang, did it use relays or proxy places to send a cleansing wave?
Also, did it wipe out all life or selected specific species for the new gakaxy? and how they were kept and released?
I have many more questions, but Some at a time
