With "Enigmata" as their sole philosophy, they are determined to shroud the universe in mists.

Description[]
"History is not mired in truth, reality can be distorted. We should let the past cease to stay in the past. It only exists in the here and now, in our brains, where everyone can embellish it."
There is evidence that History Fictionologists are a group of Emanators that were enlightened by Aeons. They often plunge into the sea of stars alone, traveling planet to planet with the sole purpose of fabricating, obscuring, destroying, and erasing the local history. History Fictionologists believe that the past determines the future — when a civilization's history is definite, its future development is doomed as all possibilities are eliminated, leaving only a sad and rigid path forward. In order to save these worlds from the sad fate of objectivity, History Fictionologists consider Enigmata as their only creed and are determined to shroud the universe in mystery.
History Fictionologists carry out their mission of destroying history alone and decisively, with an altruism that is difficult to comprehend. Their views are poorly understood by most, and their blatant hatred of objective facts is somewhat extreme. Many worlds are beginning to realize the irreversible, intangible damage that these Emanators of Enigmata have caused to culture. Across the cosmos, History Fictionologists have a reputation comparable to that of the Antimatter Legion. The Intelligentsia Guild has publicly denounced them: The Antimatter Legion destroys matter, but the History Fictionologists destroy the very universe itself.

Profile[]
The History Fictionologists are a group of notorious Enigmata followers, who are responsible for numerous false histories or information obscuration. They're far more prominent then fellow Enigmata group The Riddlers,[1] and they've been theorized to have tampered with multiple factions histories, such as the Xianzhou Alliance.[2] However, due to their philosophy the factions history is a mystery even to themselves, which at one point allowed Illusory Automaton that the History Fictionologists created to question their maker's history, and if the faction even truly existed.[3]
Taking the word of History Fictionologists seriously, something that is highly discouraged, they aim for the uncertainty of history to allow the universe to escape a predetermined path that ends in calamity or at least attempt to.[4][5] They also uphold the facade of free will.[6]
Youci[]
Mr. Xiyan's pet bird Youci is likely a creation of a History Fictionologist, and the Jade Feathers it gives to the Trailblazer have a further connection with creating false history.[7] Much like Mythus, Youci wishes to challenge the certainty of the universe and it possesses the ability to make stories feel real.[5]
History[]
Fomenko[]
In 2104 AE, Fomenko — a Candelagraphos scribe — obtained a mute parrot. She took great care of it and when it passed away Fomenko made quills out of the ten outermost feathers of the parrot's wings. One of these was for herself, while the other nine were stored in a vault. She used her quills to annotate for an entire Amber Era, preserving vast swathes of ancient documents on the verge of being lost. It wasn't until people went over Fomenko's legacy that they finally realized that the scribe had been writing nothing but lies with her quills.[7] Fomenko was likely influenced by the History Fictionologists and those similar feathers would later be given to the Trailblazer by Youci.[5]
Penacony's War of Independence[]
In 2147 AE, a group of History Fictionologists along with Masked Fools, The Nameless, Mourning Actors, and Omen Vanguards fought against the Interastral Peace Corporation for Penacony's freedom.[8] Among these was Gallagher, a creation of a History Fictionologist who became close friends with The Watchmaker.[9]

Attack on Penacony Museum[]
In Penacony, a group of History Fictionologists launched a surprise attack on the museum in the Moment of Sol. During the attack, records related to the Clock Studios Gallery were modified, and the famous first-edition Clockie sculpture is suspected to have merged with an unidentified meme. New exhibits appeared in the History of Dreamweaving and Origami Gallery, with an extensive collection of tools and techniques related to dreamweaving project suddenly appearing, along with published documents supporting them. In addition, changes were made in The Family Gallery, where certain figures from several major lineages were added and removed, accompanied by commentary on significant events and the history of these figures. Other galleries also suffered damage of unknown extent. The Nightingale Family, in collaboration with the Garden of Recollection staff in Penacony repaired and reopened the museum in 10 system hours.[10]
