Bionian
Two worlds shared one sky. Nine hundred and ninety-seven million years ago the Dyad burned from within, and its people fell into mortal bodies and forgot. This is the record of what they are beginning to remember.

What is kept here
The remembered record
The Dyad, its fall, and the long amnesia. Fragments as they surface: histories, sightings, and the mystery that is approaching revelation.
The working record
New entries as they are written. Canon and lore begin here as drafts before they are fixed.

Bionian n. & adj.
A being of Bionia; of or belonging to the Bionian Dyad. Now, most often, one of the scattered: a Bionian in a mortal body on Earth or elsewhere, living in amnesia, carrying fragmentary memory of the two worlds. Traced to the Proto-Bionian root bi-on, from which the Proto-Indo-European gʷei- and Proto-Sino-Tibetan s-riŋ descend as broken pieces, not the other way round.
