Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Today, we’ll shift slightly to discussing the inner workings of the forces of Deceptuary’s corrupted followers and their fickle behaviors regarding the Eternal Reality of Death. In this focus, we will be discussing how evil entities tend to both fear Death but also disregard the Deaths of others or are even willing to commit the murders of others callously. This is a rather serious topic about the sickening nature of immoral and evil entities, but we shall not stray from confronting it. Let us begin.

It is first important to understand the root of Deceptuary’s relationship with Spiritual Ends, and we can begin this understanding by examining what corruption’s fate was in the era of the Divine Thrones. Through the divine curse placed upon by Lord Kurakku, the fate of corrupted spirits—the Cario Lordes—is to be eradicated by their own dubious resonance. Simply knowing that those spirits that spawned from his Elongated Shadow presented the Theigriet with an existential despair that his bastardized spawns were doomed to succumb to unrelenting spiritual eradication. From this point, Deceptuary saw Spiritual Ends as a blight upon his own desires.

We spoke numerous times about Deceptuary’s acute and visceral fear of Lord Kurakku and all who look like Him—particularly Sacred Child Jaszmisia, who is tasked with bringing Deceptuary’s mortal vessels and all his theigrited followers to face Divine Punishment—but we’ve seldom explored the interactions between Lord Vuetenexzyei and the Theigriet. Through the boisterous, frantic, and egotistical outbursts of the Theigriet we can see in within “Xykozheiz”—particularly in the third and fourth chapters—in comparison to the cold and curt yet divinely unhurried and absolute delivery of Lord Vuetenexzyei’s rebuttals, we can understand both the Lord and the Theigriet from a philosophical point and how Deceptuary’s fear of Spiritual Ends was always apparent if not quieter compared to his obvious fear of Lord Kurakku’s power over Punishment.

This was then thoroughly demonstrated just after Deceptuary’s first rebellion was thwarted and he was confronted by the other deities; Lord Vuetenexzyei declared the end of the Divine Thrones and Deceptuary’s part in them before using the authority of Spiritual Ends to “end” Deceptuary’s status as one of the 10 divine linchpins—suddenly and violently casting the Theigriet into the newly-established Gheisialez. The loud fear of Lord Kurakku was well-known, but in that moment, the quiet fear of Lord Vuetenexzyei and of Spiritual Ends itself ravaged the Theigriet as he was exiled into a place of near-nothingness—his greatest of fears.

We later see Deceptuary’s fear overcome him as he became aware of the Prophecy detailing his inevitable defeat by the Sacred Children he had no prior knowledge of soon after infiltrating Xyphojinami with his mortal vessels. Deceptuary, believing his mortal vessels to be invulnerable to Death, was blind-sighted by the existence of the Sacred Children and their ability to bring Death to his very soul through their equal divine spirituality. We then witness the desperate moves Deceptuary makes to hasten his own escape from exile and the consequences that all of mortal existence has faced since then.

Through those actions, Deceptuary played part in the creation of three major lines of theigrited philosophies—each with a promise of eternal life after Death, and each framing Death as a cosmic detriment or negative existential circumstance. This reflects Deceptuary’s crippling fear of meeting a Spiritual End, as he must entice his corrupted following with false promises of eternal life in exchange for their worship and servitude towards his existence. We speak of this concept within an early Commentary briefly.

Now having gone over that history, we can better understand the fickle and often callous nature of evil when regarding Death. Much like the Theigriet they serve, his followers both fear their own Deaths and must be motivated to serve through the promise of immorality. And through that servitude, they become numb and even malevolent to the prospect of causing or wishing Death upon all who oppose the whim of Deceptuary through his various masks embedded within the philosophies he spawned.

Throughout Earth’s history, we have been able to witness countless examples of mass slaughter or suffering at the hands of theigrited philosophies or adjacent groups. And in our modern times, we see people channel that malevolence into social and governmental means to strike harm or even actively attack others they find oppositional. This is prevalent through cases of racial violence, religious violence, systemic oppression, and the use of social constructs and intimidation to silence and even threaten those they find undesirable or detestable.

To both fear Death but actively play part in the deaths of others so callously in the name of a greater more perverted or malignant cause is a key part of evil and its relationship to Death. Behind all the malevolence and aggression lies the underlining prospect of Fear—the same fear that Deceptuary silently had toward Lord Vuetenexzyei and of the concept of Spiritual Ends itself. The Theigrit fears nothing more than the end of his own existence or the irrelevance thereof, and he channels this fear through every aspect of his perversion within the realms he can still influence. Sadly, we see this be prevalent throughout our world, but the purpose of this Ordinance is to combat that through these teachings after all. In the end, those promises of immorality are baits to invite chaos and despair, and as always, those acts of hubris are doomed to face destruction from their own undoing. As we described the power of fear upon Death and how this circumstance can be yielded, the Theigriet and all that follow him will always fear Eternal Death and believe that there is an immortal status awaiting them so long as they serve the propagator of corruption and his ill wills.
