Andras

Goetia · Chem faction · Digit-sum 8 · Eschaton: The Alkahest · Receiver alias: Ubbo-Sathla

Andras sits in the Chem quadrant of the Ars Goetia. The binding is fixed by the digit-sum of each card's mana cost.

Andras is one of the 72 spirits catalogued in the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Eigendark reinterprets that historical register as its fictional operational layer. When a Chem card with cost digit-sum 8 resolves, Andras is the Goetia the game associates with that binding.

Office

Andras: Sowing discord and killing the unwary

In the Solomonic grimoire tradition, each spirit is assigned an office — a domain of attributed knowledge or power. Eigendark uses those offices as design prompts for card effects. The exact faction, digit-sum and mechanical mapping on this page are Eigendark canon rather than historical occult doctrine.

Faction: Chem

"Everything can be broken down and recombined. Form is an illusion."

Dissolve and synthesize. Chem elementalists bind and break bonds between molecules and souls alike to create impossible substances.

The science of transmutation. Chemistry, pharmacy, psychedelics, ceremonial alchemy, the aesthetic dimension of matter. Ubbo-Sathla's dissolution. Sequential transmutation, Cursor/Hold metamorphics. Chem opposes Flesh on the octagon: Flesh wants proliferation of distinct forms; Chem wants dissolution into unity.

The Goetic Register

Within Eigendark, the 72 Goetia are divided evenly across 8 factions — 9 spirits per faction, assigned by the digit-sum of a card's mana cost. The game fiction places the binding in its 1577 receiver chronology. Each spirit represents a specific instrumental goal of its eschaton, The Alkahest. The older handle Ubbo-Sathla is a receiver alias.

The Pandemonium Matrix represents the older, pre-Solomonic, Lemurian-Continuum-aligned demonology. It is the grimoire of the wet, polydirectional time the Atlantean Order sank. When the Lemurian Continuum breaches (Broken Transmissions, certain Black Moons, Xenodemon intrusions), Pandemonium entities leak through and briefly operate outside the Goetic table. Cards generated during such events carry Lemurian names and mechanics and are flagged "ontologically unstable" in the Grimoire.

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."
