Editing Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (section)

==Gameplay==
The mansion that Alexandra explores in the year 2000 forms the [[hub]]. First the player finds the Tome of Eternal Darkness and Pious' story. After finishing Pious' story the player then finds the first Chapter Page which leads them onto the next section of the game as a different character. This character's story provides plot exposition, and once complete, the player as Alexandra has knowledge, an object, or an ability which allows them to find the next Chapter Page, and so on.

===Alignments===
The player may choose which of the three essences Pious attempts to claim at the start of the game. This determines which of the three Ancients he is aligned with, and subsequently which enemies dominate. The alignments have a [[Rock, Paper, Scissors]] relationship, which is important in the player's consideration of their own Magick use.

The Ancients are members of a species that existed before other life emerged from the Primordial Ooze. The relentless movement of ice and the continental drift and other "inscrutable" reasons bound the Ancients deep beneath the planet's surface, biding their time, waiting until it was right to return. The surviving Ancients are:

* [[Ulyaoth]], God of Magick : his creations are tinged blue, and their specialism is in Magick. Ulyaoth has power over Chattur'gha.
* [[Xel'lotath]], Goddess of Wisdom and Madness : her underlings are tinged green, and have an affinity for affecting sanity. Xel'lotath has power over Ulyaoth.
* [[Chattur'gha]], God of Power : his troops are tinged red, and focus on physical attacks and toughness. Chattur'gha has power over Xel'lotath.

====Mantorok, God of Order and Chaos====
Mantorok, God of Order and Chaos, is the creator of the Tome of Eternal Darkness. Although he appears in the game to be in a position of inferiority, he is actually the Ultimate God. He created the equilibrium between the Three Ancients, making sure that they would be bound to fight against each other and to destroy each other. Although the colour of his alignment is purple, he generates black Zombies. Mantorok's zombie minions are the weakest of the game, and it is impossible for the player to summon monsters of Mantorok's alignment, for he is considerably weaker than any other primary god during the game's events.
