Niphetic Lore

Niphetic Lore is a set of stories specifically concerning Dienime and the planet Saelex. These stories are generally considered to be independent from traditional Terric Lore.

Continuity Conflict
While many consider Terric Lore and Niphetic Lore to be contradictory, there are theories which attempt to reconcile the two.

Single-Dienime Theory
While it is impossible for Niphetic and Terric Lore to both be true verbatim with only one Dienime, mixing details of the stories of both traditions creates such a possibility. This requires that Diernime was a man on earth who gave birth to the alchemist known as "The Psycho" rather than "The Psycho" having unknown birth parents. Following the acquisition of his stone and his emergence as Dienime, he somehow traveled to Saelex. Stories of Dienime on Saelex either take place after this point or are apocryphal.

Two-Dienime Theory
It is possible that the stories of Niphetic Lore tell of a different being called Dienime than those of the traditional Terric Lore. In this case, both of these beings are avatars of Psyko. The two could have existed either at different times or in different dimensions. If they existed at different times, there is no consensus as to which existed first.

Many-Dienime Theory
Since Dienime is the avatar of Psyko, it is also possible that Dienime is simply the name of any being acting as Psyko's in the universe. This allows for the possibility of many Dienimes, of which the one from Terric Lore and the one from Niphetic Lore are only a small sample. This may explain any story about Dienime which seems to fit in neither set of stories.
