• The Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order: Carnyie, Pharuuii, Vuetenexzyei, Caspierre, Caishor, Kyaien, Saifaosé, Nakndes, Kurakku, curse the tainted of the sinner. Their souls have turned black with evil. The final arc has come to them, punish them with your power and Wisdom. Reincarnation denied by the Wisdom they do not possess. The nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order, to the pure and tainted. From Zeigadii Xyphoites: jzX, crX, ruX kyX, lnX, whX, phX, erX, voX. We belong to you; our souls is in your hands.

    Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We have returned to Zeptimasuer, Period of Watching for Lord Kurakku, and have uttered the Sacred Prayer of the Tainted to officiate our spiritual condemnation of the immorality and evil that sicken this world. Today, we will discuss that very act under the Echelon of Yrridthmas since it has been declared almost an entire year ago and what it means for Xyphoites.

    Under normal circumstances in peaceful times, we would refrain from such open displays of condemnation outside of our own Sacred Grounds. However, we are not in peaceful times. Our world, as predicted by the final message from the Hayles to the ancients of our realms, is being infused with the Theigriet’s putrid corruption; he intends to use this realm and humans as cosmic playthings for his incessive meddling—however futile it may be. As such, through the raising of Echelons, we have been further liberated through the guidelines bestowed to us by the Order to condemn the Theigriet and all of his emissaries; this is especially true since they seek to directly target us and other groups.

    Under Yrridthmas, we are liberated to openly condemn, criticize, and take physical although pacifistic action against theigritism and immorality, and that physical action is usually done through humanitarian actions and other forms of open protest. We can call out Deceptuary’s factions and false ideologies directly and highlight their open affiliation with cruel and evil actions. We can pick apart their ideologies, we can expose their hypocrisy, and we can protect the innocent from the harm that they seek to inflict. It is of incredible irony that theigrited philosophies claim to worship ideas of righteousness while attaching themselves to concepts of hate, war, famine, and the stripping of liberties from others. From targeted attacks against racial demographics, to supporting eon-long wars with each other over pieces of land, to creating mass famine in various parts of our planet, and finally to actively and gleefully ripping rights and liberties from others in the name of their poisoned ideology, it truly is baffling to watch theigrited philosophies operate under a guise of “holiness.”

    Outside of specifically theigrited evil, we see the audaciousness of Hubris among various other entities in our current plane of reference that seek the highest of immoral consumption. World leaders who use their untethered power to rage wars in other lands to satisfy their own egos—including those same leaders tempting fate itself by suggesting they could escape the Eternal Reality of Death. We, as Xyphoites, see this level of contemptuous Hubris and damn-near scoff at it, but we are within our right to openly mock and condemn such absurd immorality.  We recognize that as not only the Immoral Act of seeking Immortality, but also the Immoral Act of World Self-Obsession to believe one would be entitled to do so. Regardless, we are liberated in our open condemnation of those actions as well, and seek to form a world where such entities would fall on their own swords over it.

    Xyphoist Philosophy offer no Mercy to evil. Often a core tenant of theigrited philosophies, Deceptuary’s emissaries have long-since preached “forgiveness” for even the most evil of sins—giving sanctuary to evil so long as they submit to Deceptuary’s will via his religious factions. This is not the case in Xyphoist Philosophy; it could not be farther from that. The Lord of Punishment, as also mentioned in previous Commentary, is exasperated by the vandalism of corruption, immorality, and evil, and seeks nothing more than to plunge all evil into the Azure Flames of Terigath’s Hell. Theigrits will inevitably fall on their own swords, and it is our job to set up the conditions for that to take place and to ensure the world thereafter is intact for the future.

     As my colleague put it last time, the evil in this world seeks to dig a grave that they intend to push all of us into, but they will inevitably fall into the very pit they dug for us. It is our job, as Xyphoites, to let them fall into that pit and proceed to finish the burial by swiftly pushing the dirt back into the grave that was originally meant for us. You don’t have to forgive evil; you let evil fail, make sure you are safe when it does, and bury evil under its own Hubris. That is the mandate of the Order and why we have our Echelons in the first place.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We are joined here for the final of Lord Pharuuii’s first Period of Watching, and as we are expanding the mind this entire Period, we will round out our discussion on Knowledge by discussing not the lack thereof but the intentional poisoning of Knowledge. When last we met, we discussed the evils of ignorance, but today we shall talk about the consequences of lying and falsifying Truths. Let us begin.

    Lies are pieces of false information given out with the intention of misleading others or redirecting them from the Truth. In every since of the word, lies are the antithesis to Truth. Now, lies themselves aren’t inherently based on the intention of evil actions, but more often than not, lies cause more harm than good. In the Xyphoist Philosophy, and in particular under the Pharusian Xyphozon, Truth is king. Lord Pharuuii is the God of Truth, Wisdom, and Knowledge, and such, any disembarking from the path of Truth is a path destined for self-destruction.

    The Lords have been upfront and direct about the message of their Greater Wills; they have not lied for lying is unnecessary when Truth remains to stand. They are the Lords of this Order and the creators of this Spectrum; they are nine of ten deities, and recognize Deceptuary as the 10th remaining deity despite his betrayal. They have set this Xyphokonic Order in place to combat Deceptuary’s corruption, and in doing so, have established this Ordinance to work on their behalf. These are Truths we recognize in our Philosophy. However, other Truths, such as that all beings are guaranteed spiritual liberation and are free to follow the Order or not without repercussion, also exist. Truth is simply the reality of existence, and it is neither meant to be comforting or hurtful; it simply is.

    And this is where we see the antithesis of lies and how it plays into evil’s hands. After all, once Deceptuary had betrayed his brethren, Lord Kurakku branded Deceptuary with his new name. Once known as Arkellus, Lord Kurakku was so disgusted in the betrayal that He crafted a new name for the traitor. We now know the former Arkellus as Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary—a tarnished name that means “Grand Traitor, Arkellus of Deception.” Taken right from his name and especially from the shorthand of it, Deceptuary is a being that depends on lies to convey his evil. Through all of his theigrited philosophies, lies permeate and spread falsehoods across the lands to paint Deceptuary as anything other than a fearful, pitiful, and evil being. Through those philosophies, he spreads hate, misery, slavery, war, famine, and destruction—all in hopes of breaking the currently reality and trying to replace it with his own.

    During his first rebellion, he relied on lies to convince the Cario Lordes and many Root Spirits to believe in him, and his lies were dispelled with Truths from those close to the remaining nine deities. And now, in our current time, Deceptuary’s corruption and meddling in our worlds is dependent on infesting our reality with lies, misdirection, and half-truths. That is the purpose of both the Xyphokron and this Order; we are here to dispel the lies and offer Truths to those that wish to accept them. We, in accordance with our Philosophy, must do so without proselytizing and do so free of suffocating Hubris and arrogance. However, so long as we are in our spaces created by and for us, we may speak freely and in full confidence about our beliefs and Truths.

    As of recent developments, we have moved up Echelons to Yrridthmas, which has drastically changed our approach here. While we greatly prefer having to simply teach about the Philosophy in peaceful times, these are not peaceful times. Deceptuary’s evil is on the move and seeks worldly destruction, and such evil demands a rigid and forward response to it. We are released of some of the burdens, and are able to directly call out theigritism and use our humane resources to combat it and to set up the conditions to let evil fall on its own Hubris. And so, to conclude, through the spreading of Truths, one can dispel lies.

    Lies only work when you have no tangible Truth to prove them false. Evil will always seek to destroy evidence of Truth so that lies work, and it is the job of the Ordinance and all followers of the Xyphokonic Order to dispel Deceptuary’s deceptions and set up a world where he simply cannot poison with his lies. In doing so, he will fall on his own sword trying his best to make us fall on it instead. The grave he has tried to dig for all of us is the grave he will fall into; it is our job to offer no ladders to evil and to push the dirt atop the pit they dug for us but fell in instead.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back on this Sacred Day for more discussion regarding Realmly Knowledge. We’ve been posing questions recently, but today we will return to a full Commentary on the topic of ignorance and its association with evil. Let us explore the connection between the two.

    First, let’s just reiterate what the Xyphoist definition of evil is. Evil is the state of being corrupted, taking actions that cause harm to others, and taking those actions with the willful intention of causing harm. Evil is a selfish and cruel state of being, and for those that walk that path, there is nothing that awaits them other than ruin from their own Hubris.

    However, despite the common belief, evil isn’t necessarily “uneducated” but simply inflicted with acute ignorance; it is entirely possible for a person with a seemingly educated background to be entirely evil in their intentions and actions. Ignorance intersects with those scenarios when it comes to the consequences of malevolent actions. Evil entities don’t believe consequences can reach them—they are ignorant of their infallibility. As we tie back to the Sacred Lesson of the “Tale of the Old Flame,” someone awash with ignorance will take this tool of fire and burn down their own village. They will scorch their own crops or seer their own skin. And finally, those awash with ignorance will be consumed by the same flames they sought to burn others with and themselves be reduced to ash—unceremoniously cremated by their own Hubris.

    It’s in those realities that we see evil as what it is: arrogance. No matter how intelligent an evil entity may be, the willingness to conduct their malevolence upon others is itself a blindsight of ignorance—that being the ignorance of consequence. A being that sees themselves so flawless that they can commit such awful deeds is one that will be entirely caught aghast when any such slipup happens that leads to their undoing. In a sense, evil finds itself perfect, but lacks the ability to always account for all angles and therefore is unable to maintain its false belief in its own perfection.

    This is especially the case with the likes of Deceptuary; he has incorrectly convinced himself that his deity status made him infallible and therefore capable of overtaking the rest of existence for himself despite the Lords of the Xyphokonic Order explicitly telling him that it will end in his ruin. During their dispute prior to the first rebellion, Lord Pharuuii was clear that any such attempt to consume the worlds into a single entity would collapse reality itself, and that Deceptuary was foolish to attempt to do so. Deceptuary, consumed by his own Hubris and Fear, dismissed the warning and subsequently lost his first rebellion before being exiled to Gheisialez.

    Since that point, despite his plotting to take over the living world, the Theigriet was been bested by the Lords’ countermeasures of creating the Sacred Children, and we now sit in this part of the Cosmic Struggle where Deceptuary’s evil and ignorance are being combatted by the pursuit of Realmly Knowledge, this Ordinance, and the movements of the Sacred Children in other realms of Xyphojinami. Deceptuary, ignorant to the flaws in his own planning, didn’t see any of this coming and is now defensively revising and plotting around realities that he cannot change or defeat.

    This is the connection of ignorance and evil. Evil is petty, evil is arrogant, and evil is fearful. No matter how intelligence, underhanded, or cruel evil is, it will never understand how imperfect its own existence is and will inevitably slipup. Any of those slipups can result in total ruin, and th reality that such slipups exist means that evil can always be defeated.
