Calypso is an NPC on Amphoreus, located in Beyond Time: An Eternal Page. She was the Reason Titan, Cerces, during the cycle before the final Era Nova.

Profile

Calypso is portrayed as calm, knowledgeable, and reasonable, traits she would retain as Cerces, who was described by Polyxia as "the wisest scholar in the land" during the previous cycle of Amphoreus. Calypso rebuilt the Grove of Epiphany in that cycle, a historical event later preserved in myth as "Cerces granting wisdom to humans" in the next cycle.

History

Penultimate Cycle

In the previous cycle of Amphoreus, Calypso was one of the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany, as well as the demigod of Reason. She was acquainted with Gnaeus and Polyxia, and she taught the latter forbidden alchemical arts capable of reviving the dead. Calypso also instructed Polyxia in the law of equivalent exchange and was the one who performed the soul rending ceremony on Gnaeus, splitting his soul into five fragments before Era Nova.

She was also present during the trial of Death, where Castorice sacrificed herself to allow Polyxia to pass the trial and ascend as the demigod of Death.

Final Cycle

33,550,336th Eternal Recurrence

After Era Nova arrived, Calypso became the Titan of Reason, Cerces, forgetting their past life. They manifested as a giant tree, known as the Sacred Tree. Beneath its shade, the Grove of Epiphany was established by Thalesus, the First Scholar. His teachings eventually gave rise to the seven schools, which led to the formation of the Seven Sages, with Cerces as their head.

During the current events, after the fall of Nikador, the black tide and the Flame Reaver rapidly encroached upon the Grove and destroyed it. To prevent the Flame Reaver from seizing it, Calypso split their Coreflame into three parts. One fragment was implanted into the dead body of Anaxa, temporarily sustaining his life. With the combined efforts of Trailblazer, Trianne, Castorice, and Cerces, who was possessing Anaxa's body, they managed to repel the Flame Reaver, though it nearly exhausted Trianne's divine powers.

Upon returning to Okhema, Cerces reminds Anaxa that, since a Coreflame is incompatible with a human body, he has only fifteen days to pass the trial of Reason — to answer the question: "What are we?"

Anaxa, with Castorice's help, proves his theory and answers the question, thereby passing the trial of Reason and ascending as the demigod of Reason. After snuffing out the Coreflame from his chest and placing it within the Vortex of Genesis, both Cerces and he die.
