The universe is incomprehensibly vast. Earth is an unprotected bubble surrounded in infinite cosmic emptiness. Within that darkness, that eternal blackness who knows what might wait, and what eventually might call out to us. The Lie Behind The Star, follows the Waanzilishi, a civilization who deep within caverns of the earth discovered strange pulsating mushrooms, mushrooms which they grew to understand were actually reacting to something remote, very remote. The bioluminescent mushrooms were somehow responding to a distant signal from outer space, undetectable through normal means. The consumption of the Mushrooms brought visions of the cosmos, a wealth of outside knowledge. At night under the influence of the mushrooms they would dance wildly beneath the earth illuminated by the thousands upon thousands of pulsating fungi, filled with the music of the universe.
As time went on the attachment between the Waanzilishi and the mushrooms grew stronger. Some among them claimed that they could themselves hear the call of the signal, which they named the Kimora. In time three children would be born, The Waanzilishi, using what they have learned, changed the children somehow, made them a part of the fungal network, they became, The Three Who Are One. By directly linking into the fungal network they could manipulate it, initiate its growth, use it to produce chemicals, and biological substances of all kinds. The Three Who are One were granted by the fungus near unending life, around them eventually grew an immense city all formed from the biological matter of the fungus. It was said that the Three Who are One could hear the Kimora at all times, that their purpose was guided by the Kimora and the Kimora alone.
The Waanzilishi prospered and grew, advancing themselves, technologically, philosophically, and intellectually whilst simultaneously the Kimora took on heavily mystical and religious significance. Many believe that the Kimora, was the voice of a Goddess, that the Waanzilishi were her chosen people. To the Waanzilishi, the Adjeki, the outsiders played no role, they were not chosen by Kimora. Eventually it became the mission of the Waanzilishi to find their goddess. The Three who are one declared that those who heard the Kimora most strongly would be taken as children and trained for a mission, a mission they may never return from, aboard a biological vessel they would leave the earth, and seek her out.
