Breathe,

Nature’s Sacred Tree.

We shall heed your dynasty.

Allow us to breath.

Bear new fruit, stem adorned in thorns.

(Praise the Lord, Praise Her work, Old Sacred Tree)

Ancient roots, soil of true seeds.

Let them lay and roost.

Her Fruit, Divine Child…nurtured so sweet.

Prick the thorn, but be warned of what Nkes shall teach.

Creating root, Destroying root, Reincarnated in sleep.

Nature stirs and relieves.

Rebirth thy roots, regain youth and verdant green.

Praise the Child, Her Reincarnated Root.

Greetings, once again, from the Order and Ordinance. Welcome, and thank you for joining us on the last of Lord Nakndes’s Sacred Days. As mentioned before, we shall use this final entry for this Period to go over the Nakndsian Xyphozon and its three key figures—That being the Lord, the Hayle, and the Sacred Child, of course.

You have noticed we also started this entry with a Hymn. This is the Hymn of the Sacred Child of Nature, Niinkisia; it is aptly entitled “Niinkisia, Child of Nature,” and through its lyrics you can decipher a tale of the Lord’s Nature, symbolized as a tree bearing fruit with a stem covered in thorns. The Fruit, which symbolizes both the Child and us as spiritual beings, shall head the warning of Hayle Nkes that the Lord’s power shall not be conquered. It will reward us with rebirth and verdancy so long as we shall not test it, and we shall be met with destructive rot if we do. With that explanation out of the way, let’s begin the overview.  

We start with the Lord of Nature and Reincarnation, Lord Nakndes. Lord Nakndes is described in Daetos’s Recount as being adorned in verdant greenery, full of life and sincerity—with vines and flowers entangling Her body. A wonder to behold, the Lord is the linchpin and creator of Nature, and as such, is the “creating force” for the medium we flow from as mentioned in previous Commentary. She is the root of all Nature and the force behind the rules in which our vessels. We have stated previously that Nature’s main power is to act as a medium or force for other attributes to enact their powers in a Cosmic Flow; this ensures that the flow of spirituality is continuous and that the attributes work in tandem with the Cosmos its flexing across the Spectrum. Because of the rebirth of excess spirituality through the attribute of Nature, the Lord allows us to navigate this Cosmic Flow at her behest.

There is, of course, a being that serves the Lord and ensures that this medium remains unchallenged, and that is the powerful Hayle Nkes. Once a powerful Shiupsyodon known as the “Master of Maelstroms,” Nkes had a knack for stirring up spiritual forces and causing havoc with her immense power. This act would eventually be used to stir spirituality in a constant flow to avoid utter collapse from Deceptuary’s initial vandalism and stagnation of the realms. Nkes and her legions took it upon themselves to try and save existence through these swift actions, and Nkes was late rewarded with Sacred Spirituality and anointed as Lord Nakndes’s Hayle for this quick thinking. It was here, in this capacity, that Nkes was given the honor of mentoring the Child of Nature, and in her Sacred Lesson, “Natural Rebirth,” she would go on to teach Niinkisia of the power of Nature and why it should never be conquered as doing so would lead to eradication of the one who attempts to.

Moving to the Child, Sacred Child Niinkisia, Child of Nature, is the fruit of Lord Nakndes with the consenting spirituality of Lord Carnyie. This spiritual combination of Nature and Purity created a Child of whimsy, wonder, pure intentions, and unwavering empathy. From a younger age, Niinkisia is described as whimsical yet dull-eyed Child. However, behind such a lofty and floaty shell holds a Child of incredible perception and care. A Child of wonder, Niinkisia would roam the Gardens of Evernleth with Nkes and question the force of Nature. He hold a flower adorned in thorns and ask of its purpose.  Nkes carefully warned Niinkisia that the flower was not a mechanism of his wonder, and that Niinkisia should tread carefully as the thorns shall prick his delicate hands. Niinkisia would go on to ask what would happen if he or someone else would challenge these thorns; Nkes curtly replied that they would be eradicated by Nature’s power. Niinkisia, much more perceptive than his dulled eyes would let on, immediately deduced that one day, beings of evil would attempt to challenge nature, which Nkes then confirmed would be the case before stating that it was Niinkisia’s purpose in Life to help prevent that outcome. To the shock of Nkes, Niinkisia then immediately pricked his finger against the flower’s thorns and stated that he wanted to feel what the pain of Nature’s power, as that would be the way he shall know when it is time to act on his Sacred role and intervene. Through this pain, Niinkisia wanted to understand why the beauty of Nature is protected by Nature’s wrath—why the flower is shielded by the thorns.

Through this overview, you can see all the parts of the Lord’s Nature in play. The Lord Herself is the Creating Force, Nkes acts as the Trifling Force, and the Child—as the Lord’s Incarnate—is the Reincarnating Force. Through the Sacred Lesson, we see the Child learn of the Rotting Force through the pricking of the finger on the flower’s thorn. The verdancy of nature, the beauty of it, shall never be conquered by Hubris, and so shall we at the Ordinance fight on behalf of this Greater Will for that cause.

Thank you, readers, for joining me on this Period-long discussion of Nature. It’s been a pleasure to pen this series, and I shall lead the Commentary again next year on the Lord’s Period of Watching. As I sign off, I shall wish you all a beauty and wondrous Sacred Day!
