Lore

I’ve begun to understand our universe. The compounds that drive reality here. I’ve prepared a demonstration - come look, brother!

Now, look here. It’s got presence and weight. Round, with no features. No orientation. It is mass. Almost everything here is mass. Mass is boring, but required.

We can take mass - and shape it to form. Features, angles, and intent. Look at the planarity of the surfaces. This is design. I love design.

Now, a volatile one - a lifeline. Blood. Sharp, yet radiant. Blood is heat. This is my blood, but there is plenty of blood in this universe. 

Now be gentle. Look closely here. Do you see it? Almost invisible, a thin film. Frail. It’s not in this reality, but an adjacent one. I’ve heard you discuss this - something you innately understood. What you describe as soul. Don’t you love soul?

Do you understand? It’s your turn, brother! I’ve simply found the compounds. It is your hands that must craft value from them.

You already saved them, yet still you offer them more...something only for them. Can these righteous creatures not exist in harmony for your sake?
I wonder what it is that changed in you. Have you forgotten what it was like to create something together? Do you not miss it? Or is there a weight upon you that I am unaware of?
Too often I find my mind occupied with your actions, for they affect us both. Yet you seem to care more for the wellness of these unimportant beings.
     What does that make me?
     Do you not see the gulf beginning to take shape between us?
     Do you not feel it?
     I do.

Do your foolish ways truly know no bounds? Our pillars cannot save us from something like this. How much will it cost us for you to protect them from their own doom? You risk everything for these beings, they’re undeserving of your time, your effort, and your love.
Do you not understand what we are? The power we wield?
It was not designed for this.
I can’t help but wonder if it’s purposeful. My attempts to understand you have failed time and time again. Do you fault me for what I did? Is this my punishment?
So be it.
In your selfish, senseless fascination you now endanger us both.
No matter what they call you, you are not their savior.
You are their ruin.

I will not hesitate to craft another cage to contain these pests you allow to play with our grand design.
Surely you notice these..."creatures" touch soul. Soul. And still, you grant them such freedom.
Why?
Do they remind you of home? Of what we once shared together in our gardens?
You don’t still cast blame upon me so easily...do you?
All because of that day. Those worthless creatures. Those worms.
Is that it?
Are these creatures your new worms? Is this how you mean things to be? Do you love them more than me, brother?
ANSWER ME!

Trivia

  • Bulwark refers to Providence, the final boss of the first game and defender of the Planet whose title was "Bulwark of the Weak", and an Ambry is a place where sacred objects are kept. This is confirmed by the logbook entry, which describes Providence creating the Artifacts in the Ambry.
  • The Variants all reflect a different group of creatures or otherworldly force Providence brought to the planet, implying he was doing further research on them to try and understand how best to help them.
  • The internal development name for Bulwark's Ambry is Artifact World, and the internal names for the variants are Artifact World 01-03.
  • Each shape of the artifact code is heavily implied to refer to each element mentioned in Bulwark's Ambry's logbook.
    • The mass is the sphere, design is the cube, blood is the tetrahedron, and soul is the octahedron.
  • Bulwark will sometimes glitch, and gain the health of one of the monsters on the field, leading to an ambry with 340000 health.
  • You can stand on the cubes that are seemingly part of the background.
  • In previous versions of the game, the Aphelian Research variant could sometimes spawn the unused Major Construct enemy. This was fixed in the V1.3.5 Bug Fix Update.
