Second Cosmos
The Celestials in the Second Cosmos, the first Multiverse
"Second Cosmos" is the denomination given to the second iteration of existence and first Multiverse. It is a defunct Multiverse that no longer exists. It was created as a consequence of the Celestial War between the Celestials and Aspirants of the First Firmament, personification of the first universe to ever exist.[1][2]
The Celestials wanted change, mortality, and evolution, as the First Firmament was stagnant and eternal. This included the cosmos itself; thus, the Second Cosmos "aged" and had a lifespan.[1] With new realities came infinite possibilities, where each what if could become its own what is. Believing that leaving this unchecked would result in instability, the Celestials tasked their servitors, the Omegas, to help maintain it.[3]
The Second Cosmos ended prematurely, lasting only for a few millenia, because everything was new, including the concept of all-death, and its personification was eager to try it. The remnants of the Second Cosmos would form an unobservable space outside the next Multiverses. While the Celestials passed on to the next Multiverses, the Omegas continued their work from the Outside, thus becoming known as the Beyonders.[3]
As part of the renewal cycle, after the Second Cosmos ended, it was replaced by the Third Cosmos.[1][2][3]
- Former Inhabitants
- Celestials[1][3]
- The Celestials are from the First Cosmos. They started the multiversal cycles and have passed on to every incarnation.[1][3] They are also involved in the creation process at the start of each cycle.[4]
- Presumably Cal-Horra[5]
- Omegas (a.k.a. Beyonders, Ivory Kings, etc.)[1][3]
