Eschaton
Stay cool and immanentize!
― Tsubaki in Eschaton's debut broadcast
Eschaton is the third and most recent major "faction" among Unbleeder-related ideologies. Led by Kaida Tsubaki, Eschaton members desire the end of Unbleeders and of immortality on the whole. Its members typically paint their inserts white.
Up against the sprawling corporate reach of Llawes or the invisible thrum of the Concerned Citizens, the ranks of Eschaton seem comparatively thin. Members mill in and out of the Kaida Manor with attitudes ranging from listless and despairing to vengeful and bloodthirsty. However, what Eschaton lacks in numbers, it makes up for in audacity and forward momentum -- as well as the fervent, single-minded devotion to the idea of death.
Who?
"They paint their inserts white as a display of their desire to 'purify' themselves from the influence of the Star. They speak out against the loss of mortality. They advocate for those who do not wish to be brought back after the end of their life. They are ominous and destructive, and they are coming."
Though all members of Eschaton crave death in some form or another, their reasons (and, indeed, level of extremity) vary greatly. Some wish only for death themselves, having been brought back to life against their will; others consider immortality itself a blight upon the world, and seek to purge all Unbleeders from the world. Similarly, some hope that the end of immortality -- whatever that ultimately may look like -- will result in the immediate death of all Unbleeders, while others hope that all will simply be able to live a normal lifespan.
Whatever their reasons, Tsubaki has made it clear that all are welcome at the Kaida Manor, whether to visit or to stay on a more permanent basis.
Spheres
As a fun aside, members of Eschaton are encouraged to style themselves after certain orders of angels (inspired by old pseudo-Christian angelology, though the symbolism is purely literary). The list of ranks, from lowest to highest, is as follows:
- Angel
- Archangel
- Principality
- Power
- Virtue
- Dominion
- Throne
- Cherub
- Seraph (currently, Tsubaki is the only Seraph)
What?
How Eschaton plans to accomplish their lofty goal is somewhat of a mystery, even to its innermost members. However, one thing does remain clear: their desire to do great destruction unto the Fallen Star -- no matter what casualties may result in the process.
Eschaton's most extreme form of action was in April 2036 [2023]. It was then that several core members took part in a plan to set off several high-level explosives in the Star Enclosure, the location in Llawes HQ that the Star is kept. Though the area is highly restricted, there were mortal humans in the vicinity, and potential fatalities were unavoidable.
Though the shocking nature of the attack cost Eschaton several members, it also attracted several more, as well as the undeniable attention of Caer Sidi to their mission. And besides, as Tsubaki has insisted on from the start: being strong in numbers has never been the goal.

Where?
The Kaida Manor is a sprawling estate situated a ways further from downtown Caer Sidi than its owners' lofty status might suggest. Owned by the Kaida family for several generations, Tsubaki is presumed to have inherited it following the death of her parents in November 2035 [RWE 2022].
With its maze of rooms and spacious nature, the Kaida Manor is more than suited for hosting as many guests as Eschaton does. Indeed, Tsubaki has been quite open about the fact that she doesn't care who stays in her house -- unless they do something bothersome enough to require her specifically kicking them out. Otherwise, all are welcome.
Recently, the decor has been redone in all white.
