Lore
Meteion is a creation of the Amaurotine Hermes, and is initially met on the floating island of Elpis. While most Amaurotine creations are based exclusively on Aether, Meteion is based entirely on Dynamis, making her the first free-thinking Entelechy. As a result she is able to sense and be influenced by the emotions of other beings. Meteion is also capable of temporarily disguising her Aether, rendering her invisible to beings like the Amaurotines who can perceive the Aether of others.
The Meteia's Report
In the Endwalker main scenario quest Follow, Wander, Stumble, Listen, Meteion connects to the shared consciousness of her sisters and begins giving a report to the characters present. Their findings are recorded as follows:
Individual self suspended. Connection with shared consciousnesss stable. Our survey is complete. We shall now report our findings. All units safely arrived at their respective destinations. Seeking answers to Hermes's question, we attempted to make contact with the intelligent denizens of each star. Results are as follows, in order of numerical code. Hena: Traces of civilization found—structures believed to have served as domiciles. No extant life-forms detected. Dyo: Ruined remnants of buildings scattered across star, surface of which is encased in ice. Presence of life could not be verified. Tria: Evidence of large population centers akin to cities recovered. No extant life-forms found—only their lingering essence. Tessera: Edifices surmised to be abandoned residences found. No extant life-forms detected. Deadly plague or extreme environmental degradation likely to have led to mass extinction.
Okto: Star found in state of violent conflict. Contact successfully made with inhabitants, but deployment of weapons of mass destruction resulted in total annihilation of local population shortly thereafter. Ennea: Star is a barren desert. No identifiable flora found. Bones of living beings resembling men discovered beneath sands, but determination regarding their intelligence inconclusive.
Deka-pente: Local civilization once flourished under auspices of higher power. Said power later laid waste to civilization in fit of rage. Upon revealing this to me, entity elected to self-terminate in lieu of providing answer to question. No other intelligent life-forms found.
Re-summarization After Ktisis Hyperboreia
One race had striven to create a world bereft of animosityé They renounced relationships to avoid interpersonal strife, and in so doing brought about societal collapse. One race had renounced war and devoted itself to the enrichment of its people. They were conquered. Though they destroyed the enemy in reprisal, they could not regain their former glory. One race had concluded that finite time was the root of all woes. Aspiring to shatter its shackles, they went in search of infinity. They discovered nothing is infinite, and that neither time or death can be cheated. Disillusioned, they gave up on the future—and themselves. One race had discarded all things that gave rise to sorrow, hoping to have only joy. They found joy lost its savor in the absence of sorrow, and lost their will to live.
