The Lore of Archmagus Aleister from the Abyss

Archmagus Aleister lives to the North of The Sacred Pillars in a remote part of a vast snowy Vasyugan Taiga forest in his own little Solitude Lair. He withdrew from mundane life after fulfilling his biggest dream — creating what became widely-known as Myth of The New Year Wizard.

Throughout his life, Aleister had been known as a promising and talented wizard capable of pulling up enormous amounts of energy — literally out of nowhere. Being optimistic and ever-cheerful to everyone around him, even in the darkest hours, he was always able to recover from what seemed to be the final failure, bouncing off all obstacles and turning inevitable losses into spectacular wins. That is why most of his friends and opponents started calling him Aleister from the Abyss, for his incomprehensible, almost _magical_ ability to rise from the Abyss itself.

The Magnum Opus which earned him the title of Archmagus was not an invention or spell, but rather the result of fulfilling the biggest dream Aleister had —the creation and promotion of the Myth of The New Year Wizard.

Aleister was always looking to change the World for the better, making it a bit more comfortable and a good place to be for everyone. After a long time of planning and consideration, he decided that Hope and Belief in Wonder are ever-scarce resources—and that, in general, anything he works on should be aimed at providing more of it. After long years of thinking, designing, debating his ideas with his friends and testing early concepts he arrived at the concept of giving away little presents for young children, to spark the belief that anything is possible. A one-time event wouldn't have done it, because children, as talented and optimistic as they are, tended to grow up—and, growing up, most of them tended to lose that feeling of Wonder. So instead Aleister decided to set a periodic tradition of gifting little children and to make it permanent. He chose the end of the calendar season to have a robust reference point, which could sustain any cultural changes and was easy to communicate and spread among people. But the core idea was just the tip of the iceberg.

The Spell of Perpetual Childrens' Gifts Conjuring was a piece of cake, compared to building up the logistics of gift delivery and communicating the idea to all the nations, races and peoples all over the Infinite Metaverse.

Building an organisation, rules, and systems to deliver and spread the idea of the End-Of-The-Season-Child-Gifts took eons of hard work and lots of help from friends and comrades. It was an operation that needed many different people, entities and creatures to work together, but in the end Aleister was pleased by the outcome that he and his team had reached.

Every young child would get a wonderful present, sparking their belief that anything is possible.

After his arduous labor, Aleister retired to a calm and cozy part of the pine forest. He needed a break from being in the epicenter of events and the mad pace of the work of fulfilling his dream. During the time that he had spent building, he had been a bit afraid of this moment—a moment when he had nothing to do and was faced with the scary prospect of figuring out what to do next, asking himself whether he wanted to do anything at all. But Aleister was not Aleister from the Abyss for nothing. He had found a new purpose and a new goal. It was time to leave comfy life at last...
