Source of All

The "Source of All" is an omnipotent and sentient substance that created the universe and supplies all the cosmic matter necessary to create the base material for life and everything else. The Source, as a result, exists in everyone and everything in the universe, but not in any degree noticeable, but, if en-masse, can channel and produce vast amounts of magical energy.

Interactions with the Acorns
For reasons unknown, the Source has shared a long history with the ruling leaders of Mobius, the House of Acorn, most likely because, as per its rules, it shares its power with those powerful enough to lead others. The Source established a long relationship with the royal family, as at every member's 10th commemoration, the member was guided by their predessessor to wade into the nexus pool of Source matter located in a secret chamber at the lowest level of Castle Acorn in Mobotropolis, where they bonded with the Source for life. The Source also determines who the member's spouse should be, and provides council to the family's members during times of crisis, much like it did for King Max during the Great War, though it made Sally Acorn consider rejecting the bonding outright as she did not want the Source making decisions for her.

After much talk with her brother, Elias — now named King Max's successor — Sally went ahead and made the attempt to bond with the Source of All - and rejected it before completion - though it had not rejected Sally. (StH: #110, SSS: #11)

During the reign of King Frederick Acorn, after Maximillian's immersion, he directed his son to drain the residual Source matter attached to his body into a molding furnace, where it was then forged into three royal artifacts for use by the current monarch. During Dr. Ivo Robotnik's military takeover of Mobius, access to the pool was cut off with the founding of Robotropolis and the Artifacts scattered across Mobius. However, with time, the artifacts were retrieved and, following Robotnik's death at the hands of Sonic the Hedgehog, access to the pool was available once again- until Dr. Eggman took the city.

Decline and Desctruction
This changed following Robotropolis's destruction by Station Square's O.T.I.S. defense computer. The pool, containing the largest concentration of the pure Source matter, was rendered inaccessibly permanently due to the nuclear blast - the contents of the pool were instantly evaporated. (StH: #110)

Contact with the Source was cut off completely when the artifacts, while initially remaining and used to great effect by the Kingdom of Acorn's champions, were individually destroyed. The Sword and Crown of Acorns were eventually destroyed by Sir Connery's suicide attack using the Sword of Light when the artifact's Source matter was corrupted by the harsh Chaos energies of Mammoth Mogul. (StH: #163, #164)
