Before The Collapse a favorite topic of the Abbaki as they tended to the Tree of Time was a theoretical entity they called the Yish Haki which in their tongue meant something like the Old oldest, or most ancient one. None had memory of their own creation but each felt sure of something more ancient than them, and more importantly, more ancient than the Tree of Time itself. Frustrated at the lacking of origin memory the Abbaki describe the creature as existing beyond their own plane, which could have sparked Time and its roots without the need for a temporal world to travel upon. The Extramaterial World and Material World each held none of it. It was placed elsewhere. It was elsewhere? Was it instead the encompassing vastness that spilled between the Tree’s branches? After all, it was well known to each Abbaki that for every twig of time they carefully guided an untold infinite multitude were left untended or grown. Even before the collapse when Souls caused that gap to shrink there remained an inexpressible number of possibilities unexplored that would, in their totality, bow the branches of an infinite universe hosting infinite trees of time.
Since the collapse and the diaspora into L’vad Yish Haki’s name has fallen from use as the Abbaki turn to different pursuits and goals. The paradigm of their purpose altered forever; they have not the time or intention to think on something that after uncountable eons never once graced them with realization, recognition, negation or confirmation. Yish Haki, if it ever presided over L’vad and each permutation which once sprouted from it, is a silent god and if no answer comes then no questions shall continue.
