"It's Ena the Order, one of the most ancient Aeons. In the times before THEIR fall, THEIR radiance was as holy as gems!"
—Herta during Simulated Universe, Swarm Disaster, Chapters: Destruction II
Ena is the Aeon who represents the Path of Order. THEY were assimilated into Xipe, when the latter ascended into Aeonhood, due to the Harmony overlapping with the concept of Order.[3] THEY were temporally revived during the climax of Sunday's actions on Penacony.[2]
Profile
Ena was one of the most ancient Aeons, characterized as a just and magnificent being. THEY thoroughly observed the actions of mortals to ensure the order of the universe,[4] while displaying intolerance to any form of chaos or strife.[5] Before THEIR fall, THEIR path had suppressed numerous calamities, such as the Swarm Disaster.
THEIR voice is composed of syllables sequencing the rise and fall of civilizations in accordance with the Aeon's path. (Example: ♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖ ♬ Eme-Clent-J. I. Vadnbg. 1935-1942)[6] During the Swarm Disaster, Ena was assimilated by Xipe as the latter ascended.
Appearance
Ena takes the form of a giant eye observing and puppeteering a trunkless puppet veiled with tattered cloth and crowned with a golden halo, both the puppet itself and the cloth are white with golden accents. The puppet is holding and crystal-gazing into an orb containing the cosmos.
History
Seven Days Myth
After the Dusk Wars, darkness and chaos consumed the world. As such Ena ascended to become the Aeon of Order, marking the first day. THEY created a grand lyre with black and white keys — striking the white keys makes the sun rise, and the black keys makes the moon rise — creating the Calendar, which marked the second day.[7][8]
THEY made stars into ink, creating Words, which marked the third day. THEY molded stardust into flowing rivers, the upstream for the righteous and the downstream for the unjust, creating Values, which marked the fourth day.[7][8]
THEY used the rings of planets to establish Rules, which marked the fifth day. Through the existence of the Calendar, Words, Values, and Rules, humanity found their Meaning, which marked the sixth day.[7][8]
Yet, all beings united and cast out Ena into the abyss of oblivion, representing Human Dignity, marking the seventh day.[7][8]
Swarm Disaster
Witnessing the chaos caused by the war between Tayzzyronth and Oroboros, Ena sought to put an end to this by seeking the "dreammaker that pulls and influences the will of transmutation", Qlipoth the Preservation.[5] An agreement was reached between the two Aeons, Qlipoth will put an end to Tayzzyronth, while Ena will help THEM against THEIR archenemy, Oroboros, by unknown means.[5]
Although Ena was absorbed by Xipe while THEY ascended, preventing the deal from coming across,[9] Qlipoth fulfilled THEIR part nonetheless.[10]
It is said that Ena has encountered Terminus of The Finality at some point in time.[11]
Present Day
Gopher Wood, alongside Sunday, utilized Penacony's Stellaron and the Harmonic String Dominicus, the Wisher of the Harmonious Choir, in order to revive Ena in the Embryo of Philosophy and usurp Xipe. This plan failed as a result of the intervention of the Astral Express crew, Robin, Black Swan, Boothill, and Acheron.[2]
Simulated Universe
When Ena appears in the Simulated Universe, the following sound will play:
Dev Log1
...Ena the Order. I quite like THEM — I don't mean THEIR personality, since I can't get along with control freaks — but I can envision an ancient and romantic universe fashioned under THEIR unique "concept." The planets governed by Ena adhere staunchly to established rules, yet I must acknowledge that the various calamities in the cosmos were all hindered by Ena's guardianship, leading to extremely efficient development of civilization among diverse planets. Interestingly, however, civilizations all eventually hit rock bottom because of Order. The ancient planets that once fervently worshiped Order would shine briefly before their total collapse... Perhaps this is the "Path" of these planets. During the era when Ena the Order protected the cosmos, unequivocal splendor pervaded. Wherever THEIR divine traces appeared, it was always accompanied by the ethereal melodies of the Beyond the Sky Choir. These harmonious notes, meticulously arranged within a three-dimensional framework, form a holy hymn of Ena's own voice.
