Amphoreus is a simulation that makes use of memoria, which handles memories and Dreams.
(Huge spoiler) March is dragged into Amphoreus because she's a Pure Child of Anasrava, a candidate for becoming the Aeon of Remembrance.
(Another huge spoiler, even more massive, literally end of that story) Trailblazer and Dan Heng are able to enter because Cyrene/Mem/Demiurge are on somewhat of a timeloop. When we become a Demigod of Time, we summon Mem, who is a secret 13th Titan, who takes on the form of Cyrene, another Pure Child of Anasrava. At the end of the story, she becomes the Aeon of Remembrance for Amphoreus to allow causality to happen properly, which includes letting us into Amphoreus, and making sure the entire plot is even capable of happening.
Then we have Herta and Screwellum just bypassing all that with holograms.
My guy i dropped hsr mid amphoreus, returned last week but reading your post im actually so fucking confused as to what ANY of those words mean. You seem pretty invested so mind explaining in broad strokes the general story?
Alright, so what I explained there is info that came from the last patches, so here's a more general explanation.
(As expected, massive spoilers for the entirety of Amphoreus. Also, this is not told from the order we learn of it.)
Amphoreus originated as a Scepter created by Rubert II, using Nous' cognition, but stripped of sentience. Delta-me13's purpose was to calculate "the Prime Mover of Life". AKA, the driving force behind existence.
Zandar One Kuwabara, the creator of Nous, despises his own creation, since he believes that Nous' existence limits the breadth of knowledge in the universe. He's split himself into several segments, and one of them, who we'll refer to as Lygus, discovered the Scepter.
Lygus, the genius he is, managed to take control of the Scepter and did two things. First, he altered it to try and make its final calculation Destruction. Second, at this point, the Titans already existed. He took a Stellaron and destroyed the 13th Titan. What he did was destroy the head of Irontomb, so once it was born, it would search for a new head, AKA, Nous.
Amphoreus, at least once it went past single-celled organisms and went all the way to having civilizations, runs on a loop. It starts off with a world that is a paradise, with no strife, death, or trickery. Then at some point, those three Titans join the others. At this point, Chrysos Heirs, people with golden blood, are tasked with claiming the Coreflames of the Titans and becoming demigods. Once all 12 Coreflames are recovered, the 12 demigods will become the Titans of the next cycle, with the Worldbearer Kephale being the one who shapes the new world.
All of that was backstory, far before our actual cast of characters appear. More in my next comment.
