'''Essence''' is a [[Pyramid]] used by [[the Witness]] during the invasion of [[Earth]] and later, [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain]]. It acts as the location for the [[Root of Nightmares]] [[raid]]. | |||
==History== | |||
During the opening events of the [[Lightfall]] campaign, Essence was fired upon by a beam generated by the [[Traveler]], with the intended target being the Witness. This attack dug open a massive hole in the pyramid's hull, as well as terraformed the interior which, likely unknowingly, provided the necessary conditions for the resurrection of Nezarec, Final God of Pain. | |||

The chamber it stands in during this cutscene would later be identified as [[Macrocosm]]. | ||
When [[The Guardian]] visits the Essence in person, it is fractured and leveled by the influence of the Traveler's terraforming. Its spaces are wide and open in a similar manner to [[The Sunken Pyramid]], but makes heavier use of temple-like architecture. Rather than gravity lifts, long-distance travel within the ship is achieved by kinetic launch pads that physically push the user towards the intended destination. | |||
Scattered throughout the Essence are numerous urn-like containers, each containing [[Lore:Inspiral|a different form of data storage from a civilization the Witness or its agents had visited in the past]]. When recovered by the Guardian, each fragment was found to contain numerous references and retrospectives on the [[Final Shape]], the Witness's beliefs, and the use of the Darkness as a force in history — [[Ecumene|including]] [[Qugu|some]] that had previously been excised from all other historical records encountered thus far. | |||
