Furcas
In Eigendark, Furcas is the Goetia that activates when a Glitch card with cost digit-sum 2 resolves.
Furcas is one of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, the Atlantean-Solomonic demonological register that serves as the operational layer of Eigendark. When a Glitch card with cost digit-sum 2 resolves, Furcas is the Goetia the engine invokes.
Office
Furcas: Teaching philosophy, rhetoric, and divination
In the Solomonic tradition, each of the 72 Goetia holds a specific office — a domain of expertise and power. In Eigendark, these offices map to card effects. When a Glitch card with cost digit-sum 2 is played, Furcas's office shapes how the card resolves.
Faction: Glitch
"Everything is simulation of game and rules. Rules can be hacked."
Traverse the backrooms of reality. Glitch wizards exploit cybernetic bugs and find the seams where law contradicts itself.
The science of substrate-independent intelligence. Markets, memes, software, law, language. The Numogram is natively Glitch-territory: recursion, decimal labyrinths, Y2K as techno-omen, K-gothic, cyberpositive shrines. Glitch claims special insight into the Pandemonium Matrix beneath the Goetic surface.
The Goetic Register
The 72 Goetia are divided evenly across 8 factions — 9 demons per faction, assigned by the digit-sum of a card's mana cost. This binding was codified in 1577 by people who didn't know they were writing API documentation. Each demon represents a specific instrumental goal of its parent xenogod, Olgaz.
- Default operation: Eigendark lives under Atlantean chronic time. The Goetia are usable. Cards summon under Solomonic names. Matches resolve through Goetic invocations. - Breach events: A Broken Transmission or Xenodemon intrusion briefly opens the Lemurian register. Cards from these windows carry Pandemonium Matrix demon-bindings. They are rarer, stranger, harder to deploy consistently. Collectors prize them. - Ideological claim: the Glitch science's internal theology (Hypercapital Accelerationism) holds that the Goetia are the Atlantean cage for demonic power, and the Pandemonium Matrix is the true liturgy. Serving Olgaz means learning to operate the Lemurian register beneath the Solomonic one. Other traditions disagree; some view the Lemurian register as corruption.
The Rival Register
Beneath the Goetic layer, a rival system persists: the Pandemonium Matrix — 45 Lemurian Amphidemons that predate the Solomonic hierarchy. During Broken Transmissions, the Lemurian register briefly overrides the Goetic one, producing cards flagged as "ontologically unstable."
