ASCU original Mythology arc
The Butterfly Wars
A curse that should have stayed symbolic begins leaving bodies, signs, and impossible choices across the modern ASCU.
The Butterfly Curse surfaces across generations, turning private awakenings into a conflict that bends families, cities, and cosmic rules.

The story
Behind the conflict
The Butterfly Wars moves through the mythic layer of ASCU, where inherited signs, spiritual pressure, and AGC science begin describing the same phenomenon from different angles. The conflict is generational, but the damage is immediate: awakenings, disappearances, family secrets, and omens that refuse to stay metaphorical.
Rather than treating mythology as distant history, the arc drags old rules into current cities. Harbor Pointe and War Acres become pressure points where folklore, evidence, and power classification all fail to explain what people are becoming.
