Second Apocalypse	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Second Apocalypse is a dark and philosophical fantasy sequence by R. Scott Bakker that is planned to eventually consist of three series of books.The first series, The Prince of Nothing, is set during a Holy War in a medieval world where Functional Magic exists and an obscure Ancient Conspiracy, Shrouded in Myth, is plotting The End of the World as We Know It. The characters who are embroiled in this conflict include a tired Badass Bookworm sorcerer, a cunning prostitute, and a mentally unstable barbarian chieftain.But in the midst of the Holy War arrives a wandering monk, Anasûrimbor Kellhus. He is the scion of an isolated sect who have spent millennia making themselves into beings of pure logic. Leaving his sect for the first time to answer his wayward father's mysterious summons, Kellhus is completely ignorant about the outside world. At the same time, his astounding mental and physical abilities, untainted by emotion or morality, are like nothing the world has ever seen. Will Kellhus find his father, and what will he impact along the way?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

They were more intelligent and beautiful than humans, but also much worse in anger or jealousy. However, when we finally get detailed physical descriptions of a Nonman in The Judging Eye, the "beautiful" aspect starts to get subverted: for example, their teeth are fused together, they don't have a single hair on their body (not even eyelashes), their skin is marble-white, and the repulsive beauty of Sranc is borrowed from the appearance of Nonmen.

The physical and mental abilities of Dûnyain, even those who are only half-blooded, are exaggerated beyond a realistic take on what human breeding could accomplish. The issue of breeding. Pureblooded Dûnyain women are enormous in size, and called Whale Mothers, yet not a trace of this is evident in females born to worldborn mothers. You'd have to concoct a really outlandish hypothesis with recessive genes to justify this in the real world.

A person bearing a skin-touching Chorae is immune to sorcery, and the mere touch of one will turn sorcerers into salt. They were created by the Nonmen sorcerers, who betrayed their race by giving the resulting creations to the Inchoroi (thousands of years ago). They are called "Tears of God" and "trinkets" by the residents of the Three Seas. While they are rare, they're common enough for most of the rulers to equip special forces of archers with them to specifically counter sorcerers on the battlefield.

Second Apocalypse / int_192d04d5	comment	Mutually Exclusive Magic: Knowledge of sorcery is jealously guarded by the Schools, which are divided up in categories based on the type of magic they use (primarily Gnostic and Anagogic sorcery). There's also the Tekne of the Consult and the Psûkhe of the Cishaurim (who technically aren't a School according to the characters, but whatever). At the beginning of the series, there's no known example of a person capable of using more than a single type of sorcery, even though hypothetically there's nothing about the magic itself stopping them, simply because a) you have to join a School before they'll teach you anything, and b) no School would ever give away its sorcerous secrets to someone who has already joined another School. Kellhus dispels the idea that you can't learn sorcery without joining a School when he convinces Achamian to teach him the Gnosis, and being the master manipulator that he is, he could certainly convince another School to give up its secrets to him—but the Gnosis is the purest form of sorcery, so there wouldn't be much point.

Even the hardest of the Skin Eaters fear him. It becomes a noted plot point when, during the slog of slogs, his men stop fearing him. This trope cuts both ways during the First Holy War. The Fanim begin referring to Kellhus as The Demon and Coithus Saubon as The Blond Beast. Saubon's nephew, Athjeäri, gains the epithet Hurall’arkeet—Wind has Teeth in Kiani. The Inrithi regard Skauras ab Nalajan as a fearsome general and an extremely efficacious antagonist; Cinganjehoi ab Sakjal, the Tiger of Eumarna inspires tremendous dread as the most accomplished warrior in all of Kian. Cnaiür urs Skiötha becomes this in the second series, having become a legendary figure of brutality. In Mimara's Judging Eye, she sees him as a Demon Prince still living.

The Inchoroi invert the trope, using intense pleasure (and denial of it) to extract information. Even Kellhus, who has already proven immune to traditional torture, is vulnerable to it. Skin-spies are largely immune to pain and extremely difficult to torture, but there are small parts of their brain that can be exploited using "neuropuncture." It's traditional for the New Empire to publicly torture outed skin-spies this way. Serwa is tortured in a Nonman mansion, but proves utterly immune to it like her father. In fact, she turns the tables by singing old Nonman songs that attack the emotional vulnerabilities of her captors.

He regularly uses his analytical super-intelligence to appear to read minds or to prophesize future events. One of his more spectacular "miracles" comes when, in the middle of a vast desert, he points to a spot in the sand and tells his followers to dig there. When they do, they find a wellspring that saves the entire Holy War from almost certain death by exposure. Presumably he was able to detect the presence of an underground spring by some subtle cue, but to his followers it's obvious proof that he's favored by the God. (Of course, he becomes less reliant on deceptive tricks when he learns how to use actual magic.)

Second Apocalypse / int_7243f3cb	comment	Dark Fantasy: The series is unrelenting in its darkness. The world is in a constant struggle involving religious zealots, insane immortals, ruthless sorcerers and intergalactic sex-demons. War Is Hell, and is described in horrific detail. Plagues, infighting, wide-spread slavery, casual cruelty and rape are so common they become background scenery. The setting's already been brutalized in the past by a world-ending apocalypse that came dangerously close to driving humans to extinction, and all the warning signs for the second are already here. Humanity's best chance of survival rests in the hands of a manipulative, pitiless sociopath Übermensch who reads the emotions and minds of people with disturbing ease. He's the only one who has the single-minded focus to manipulate the self-interest and infighting of the population into one common goal and prepare for the return of Mog-Pharau, the No-God. The sorcerers of the School of Mandate, who are aware of the Unholy Consult's existence by way of dreaming of the First Apocalypse every night, are derided and mocked by society as madmen who have damned their souls. Additionally, later books state outright that the threat of damnation is completely true, and thousands are doomed to suffering in a literal interpretation of the Christian hell, and those that remain are in for a full-scale Cosmic Horror Story.

When asked how Conphas knew the Scylvendi would make the disastrous charge that undid them, one of his subordinates explains that to the Scylvendi, sodomy is one of their biggest taboos—so Conphas had all of his Scylvendi captives raped in open view of the enemy camp.

Granted, the Gnosis is already regarded as being very powerful In-Universe, but Kellhus takes it up several notches.note As his first great use of the Gnosis allows him to expand on a 'telephone' style spell to create a teleportation spell.

This foreshadows the revelation that Skeaös is a skin-spy.

It's stated that the Inchoroi think of themselves as the "orphans" of the Ark. The Mutilated reveal that the Ark was their original ruler before they crashed into Earwa.

Second Apocalypse / int_a1a1491e	type	Homage
Second Apocalypse / int_a1a1491e	comment	Homage There are a few references to The Bible: The size of the Inchoroi's Ark is measured in cubits, just like Noah's Ark. The Inchoroi want to reduce the world to fewer than 144,000 souls. This is an Arc Number in the Bible, always representing a group of people. There are also quite a few references to Tolkien's Legendarium: The Inchoroi genetically engineered the Sranc to have Nonman faces, just like Melkor created the Orcs as cruel parodies of the Elves. The journey through the Black Halls of Cil-Aujas in The Judging Eye is an obvious homage to the Mines of Moria. In The White-Luck Warrior, Achamian and Cleric's confrontation with Wutteät, the Father of Dragons, resembles a certain key scene in The Hobbit. In The Great Ordeal, the Nonmen of Ishterebinth have created a servile race of short, rustically-dressed "halflings"... from human breeding stock. The only normal human to see them doesn't take it well. The Qirri is something like lembas-bread: the elf-equivalents make it, and even a small portion is enough to run all day... if lembas was horribly addictive and made from the ashes of Nonman heroes. There are a smattering of allusions to the works of Cormac McCarthy. The entire story of the Skin Eaters is an homage to Blood Meridian. It's complete with a faux-western boomtown in Marrow, a ferocious and reticent character simply referred to as the Captain, and a pale-skinned, hairless, sermonizing figure in Cleric. There is also an homage to The Road with Koringhus and his son, the Boy. A father and son who survive a tremendous apocalyptic event and struggle to continue living. This culminates with the eventual death of the father, and his son being "adopted" by new surrogate parents. The Arc Words of "Death came swirling down" when a character dies is a riff on Homer's use of "Darkness swirled over his eyes" and similar phrases.

Second Apocalypse / int_c5ee8215	comment	Magical Society: Sorcerers typically organize themselves into groups called Schools, each of which has its own particular goal, theme, or knowledge that distinguishes it from the others. A sorcerer without a School is called a Wizard; as all Schools consider Wizards to be dangerous renegades and have a tendency to hunt them down and kill them, they are very rare, with Achamian being the only Wizard openly practicing at the present of the story. The major schools are: The Mandate: A School dedicated to guarding against the return of the Consult. They are the only School to maintain knowledge of the Gnosis, a fact which earns them envy from other Schools (who simultaneously look down on them as delusional conspiracy-theorists). The Aspect-Emperor introduces the Swayal Sisterhood, who are the Distaff Counterpart of the Mandate. The Scarlet Spires: The most powerful Anagogic School, they are the true power behind the throne of High Ainon, and their leaders dream of extending their power across the Three Seas. Some Scarlet Schoolmen are the only sorcerers known to practice the Daimos. The Imperial Saik: The Court Mages and counselors to the Nansur Empire; known for their devotion to the throne and their traditions, they were once an extremely powerful School but are past their prime by the time of the novels as the Nansurium has decayed. The Mysunsai: A mercenary School that can be found throughout the Three Seas, selling their services to the highest bidder. Though not as powerful as the Scarlet Spires or as well-connected as the Imperial Saik, and often looked down upon by other sorcerers as little better than prostitutes, they are nonetheless a large and wealthy school. The Cishaurim: The sorcerer-priests of the Fanim religion, who practice a unique form of sorcery called the Psukhe and ritually blind themselves to open their perceptions to the Outside. They are unique as the only sorcerers to carry no Mark, to leave no stain in the onta with their cants, and to be revered, rather than warily tolerated, in their home society. Historical Schools of note include the Sohonc, the precursors of the Mandate, and the Mangaecca, who would eventually form the core of the Consult.

The metaphysics of the universe are such that objective morality exists, along with redemption and (more importantly) damnation. The Inchoroi effectively crossed the Moral Event Horizon long ago and are wholly damned. However, as the Consult discovered, the reduction of the number of "ensouled" beings below a certain number — 144,000 souls — plus some additional work in the form of the No-God, serves to completely sever the world from the Outside, thus saving their souls from damnation. Ikurei Xerius III plans to twist the Holy War to his own ends by forcing it to accept his nephew as its general and seizing control of the lands it conquers. He's prepared to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of his fellow Inrithi to get the land.
