• Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back to all. As scheduled, we will continue our review of Xykozheiz and the next chapter entitled “Rebellion.” We last left off as the 10 deities discussed the sudden cracks forming in their newly created existence. After a lengthy back and forth between nine of the deities and the remaining deity, Arkellus, it was concluded that Arkellus was responsible for intentionally trying to break reality; he desired to become a sole god by destroying reality and devouring the powers of the other deities. Afterward, Arkellus left the Divine Thrones and began preparing to go to war. So let us continue with the next Chapter “Rebellion.”

    The gathering of Cario Lordes, those already of dubious Nature and helped along by the corruption intentionally spread by Arkellus, would form a loose alliance with Arkellus in exchange for power to rival or even surpass that of the shiupsyodon. A war of impure curse and hate would be planned and a siege would be taken upon the divine thrones above the realms.”

    Arkellus’s first move was to gather a legion of Cario Lordes to fight on his behalf against the Divine Thrones; he had enticed them with promises of power that would compete with that of the shiupsyodon.

    “Dismissive of their legend challenged, the shiupsyodon would quickly rally their legions on the foots of the remaining nine deities, and of them, select were chosen directly by the remaining nine deities to serve as Archangels and to lead the legions of root spirits and other shiupsyodon to dispel the Cario Lordes.”

    The shiupsyodon took offense to the suggestion the dubious Cario Lordes would attempt to upend their status and immediately joined forces on the side of the Divine Thrones. With them, the shiupsyodon brough along their legions of root spirits to fight alongside them.

    And of these shiupsyodon, nine were chosen by the remaining deities on the Divine Thrones for their great power, legend, and actions leading up to the war that caught the attention of said deities. They were given a new role and title known as Archangels and Divine Generals respectively, or the most powerful servants of the remaining deities on the Divine Thrones. We’ll introduce these Archangels and what role they took that earned them their position.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Vuetenexzyei came Archangel Kizu, Foreseer of Ends. Seeker of legions toiling of the ends of spirits and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Kizu, Divine General of Vuetenexzyei: Chosen for leading a legion of spirits to take account of and certifying the rapid spiritual ends occurring due to Deceptuary’s corruption. Kizu was referred to as the “Foreseer of Ends” during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Carnyie came Archangel Ihou, Listener of Misery. Open ear to the cries of woe and seeking the Mercy of all and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Ihou, Divine General of Carnyie: Chosen for the listening of woes and suffering of spirits harmed by Deceptuary’s corruption and relayed this sorrow to the Divine Thrones through extensive Prayer. Ihou and his legion of spirits worked to purify those suffering spirits and bring upon mercy. Ihou was named the “Listener of Misery” for this action during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Pharuuii came Archangel, Zhii, Keeper of Truth. Pursuant of those Truths and delivery of Knowledge to all and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Zhii, Divine General of Pharuuii: Chosen for his devotion to uncovering Realmly Truths with a legion of spirits. Long before the war, Pharuuii was impressed with Zhii’s dedication and kept Zhii close. As the war began, Pharuuii would give Archangel status to Zhii and appoint him as a Divine General tasked with countering Deceptuary’s spread of misinformation and lies towards other spirits and bring them Realmly Truths. For this action, Zhii was named the “Keeper of Truth” during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Kyaien came Archangel Giheo, Caretaker of Beginnings. Motherly nurturing to the newly birthed and protector of such innocence and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Giheo, Divine General of Kyaien: Chosen for her nurturing of newly-formed spirits prior to the war. Giheo was already beloved and known as a spiritual mother among the spirits, and protected new spirits from corruption until they could ward it off themselves. She continued this role during the war on the request of Kyaien, and was named the “Caretaker of Beginnings” during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Kurakku came Archangel Mihe, Guardian of Punishment. Leading legions before tasked to crater the dubious Cario Lordes and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Mihe, Divine General of Kurakku: Chosen for his relentless and vicious charges against the rising corrupted spirits caused by Deceptuary’s meddling before the war. Mihe had amassed a powerful legion to join him in these ventures, and the legion eradicated all corrupted spirits attempting to attack the Shiupsyodon. Kurakku requested of Mihe to root out the corrupted spirits and bring them to Him for Punishment, and Mihe was named “Guardian of Punishment” during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Nakndes came Archangel Nkes, Stirrer of Nature. Reigning in the flow of disturbed Nature out of worry and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Nkes, Divine General of Nakndes: Chosen for her actions to protecting the Natural Flow from dubious divergence caused by Deceptuary. She warned of the wrath of Nature if mishandled, and used her immense spiritual power to stir the flow of Nature to keep it from cracking and destabilizing from corruption. Nakndes brought Nkes on board as a Divine General to continue this work during the war along with her legion of spirits. For this, she was named the “Stirrer of Nature” during the war.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Caishor came Archangel Knie, Caster of Element. Legend well known and of the high standing of steady practice to the eyes of divinity and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Knie, Divine General of Caishor: Chosen for his immense power, Knie is a legendary shiupsyodon and one of the most powerful spirits in existence. Knie had amassed one of the largest armies of root spirits and shiupsyodon under his wing due to his sheer spiritual power alone. Prior to the war, Knie busied himself by amassing his army and conquering and creating pocket dimensions to house such an army. Caishor’s attention was caught by this show of power, and Knie was naturally picked to be Caishor’s Divine General during the war. Knie and his massive legion devasted Deceptuary’s forces during the war, and he was named “Castor of Element” during the war as a result.

    Leading the spirits on behalf of Caspierre came Archangel Taeh, Mender of Reality. Calling out of the foul corruption and holding reality stable in the interim and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Taeh, Divine General of Caspierre: Chosen for being one of the first shiupsyodon to notice the fractures in reality. Taeh immediately gathered her legion of root spirits and other shiupsyodon and worked to stave off and mend the rapid decline—knowing well-enough what the result of reality breaking would be. Caspierre took notice of Taeh’s efforts, and empowered Taeh by granting her Archangel status and appointing her as a Divine General; Taeh would continue this work during the war, being named the “Mender of Reality.”

    “Leading the spirits on behalf of Saifaosé came Archangel Yoih, Lover of Timely Tales. Teller of great legend and empowering unity among the righteous and chosen of the action.”

    Archangel Yoih, Divine General of Saifaosé: Chosen for their legendary status crafting great tales and legends through their great beauty and ability to embroider other spirits in their tales. Yoih was desired by many for this beautified power. Saifaosé found promise and use in Yoih’s legendary status, and commissioned Yoih to craft a grand legend of the Divine Thrones to elevate the morale of the waring spirits against Deceptuary’s legion of corruption. As such, Yoih crafted a legend of Love for Existence that unified the spirits in support of the Divine Thrones and boosted their morale, pushing them to continue fighting against Deceptuary. For this, Yoih was named “Lover of Timely Tales” during the war.

    The divine Archangels engaged in the wild Cario Lordes enticed by Arkellus and successfully impede their dubious efforts of control, leaving Arkellus outmatched and soon alone, isolated in a Reality not fully controlled and now with other divine united against.”

    This massive legion of forces swiftly defeated the Cario Lordes that had sided with Deceptuary, and the Cario Lordes that remained decided the promise of power was not enticing enough to be destroyed over just to satisfy Arkellus’s hubris. As such, they retreated to Cariyov. The remaining deities of the Divine Thrones then surrounded Arkellus and they quickly confronted him in his isolated state.

    A grand upheaval of peace leading to the fracturing of the realms, and truly an act of over-importance of Self and fear of lacked existence. The sword would have been rattled but the reward was not enough to entice the worlds into failure, and for that there shall not be respect or sanctuary given to the vandal of these worlds. Once a status together on the thrones of divinity now left alone and without any such Worship, as the bargained legions whipped up from the pits have left with nothing and shall stay in the pits of Cariyov. For this, the union formed shall then rename thee, not one of a God but one of a traitor. For you, the title is new and of shame, you are branded Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary, high traitor.”

    At this point, Kurakku was beyond furious with this grand upheaval of peace. He went on a lengthy speech condemning Arkellus’s feeble attempt at war and then officially branded the disgraced deity with his new title, one that would be carried on from this point on out, Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary—which means “Grand Traitor of Deception, Arkellus”—and is often shortened, as you’ve probably noticed by now in these commentaries, as simply “Deceptuary.”

    A restructure seems in order, one to limit your movement and rebellion to the attempt of total existential collapse, and with the power of deity status protecting you from total eradication, all things shall be changed and rules be tabled in place to assure the balance can be restored. A region has been crafted for you, oh Deceptuary, and it shall be in the ways you fear the most, the outer edges of Reality and existence, where those beings broken and corrupted shall sit and their composition eroded into painful nothingness, nonexistence. It shall be Gheisialez.”

    Caspierre would match Kurakku’s distaste in the situation by mentioning that while Deceptuary’s deity status protected him from being eradicated, the remaining deities can band together their powers to exile Deceptuary from existence and vastly weaken his ability to act upon his powers. In doing this, Caspierre created the region known as Gheisialez—an outer region of near-nothingness where spirits are cast to for committing immoral actions; all that are cast out here are doomed to suffer spiritual rot and will eventually cease to exist as a result.

    The authority to end all things is before this throne, and the end of the divine palace that served the ten shall now be Reality, as will your status as one of the divine palace. Thus, an immediate exile of the deity Theigriet Arkellus Eulez Deceptuary shall be forth without haste.”

    Vuetenexzyei immediately finalized the exile by declaring the end of the Divine Thrones as it once was and declaring the end of “Arkellus” as one of them. In an instant, Deceptuary was violently forced into Gheisialez in a burst of violet flames of Death. This is where he would lay in languish to this very day.

    The realms were left destabilized and need of new restructuring, and as warned by Pharuuii, this would be not be the last attempt. The new structure, while left to its own development, would seek as a means of finalizing the balance in ways unthought of by the fearful.”

    However, the remaining deities knew very well that he wouldn’t give up on his foolish desires, and immediately planned for his eventual attempts to rebel again. As they looked before their ruined Spectrum, the deities determined that order was needed, and that the Spectrum would need to be restricted to combat the remaining corruption left by Deceptuary.

    And with that, this concludes the chapter “Rebellion.” The Divine Thrones and a massive legion of sympathetic spirits quelled Deceptuary’s advances. The remaining deities successfully exiled the disgraced and deity for the time being and planned to bring order to the ruined Spectrum before them. When next we meet, we’ll go into a cursory review of this order brought by the remaining deities. Until then, have a Sacred Day.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. Welcome back. As written on the schedule, we will be continuing with our look at the Xyphokron. Last week, we gave a brief overview of the second chapter of Xykozheiz entitled “Creation.” In that last Commentary, we went over some of the basics of how existence came to be, what is considered existence, the types of existences, etc. We also touched lightly on the basics of Sanghjei and its various disciplines.

    Today, however, we move away from setting up the stage to beginning the first section of Xykozheiz pertaining to the Cosmic conflict that started this entire ordeal we exist in now. Moving away briefly from the setup, we will dive into the start of Deceptuary’s corrupted desires and the actions that he took after—all of which led to the destabilized world we currently live in now. This section, as recounted by Daetos, will include the tense dialogue that the 10 deities held at the start of Deceptuary’s rebellion. Without further wait, let’s begin.

    “The Realm and eras of stability would not be one of lasting, as with the increased divergence in spiritual Nature, came rise to unscrupulous corruption and action of dubious Nature. Atop the palace of divinity above the new divergent realms, quarrels would take place among the deities as to the vandal. “

    “Attribute of Truth, would come from deity Pharuuii, would suggest openly that this degrading state would be one of broken structure or disruption of Natural Force, and inquired of which the two divines of these attributes would seek to find the reason.”

    As time moved on from the initial creation of the Spiritual Spectrum, the boundaries and stability of the fragile system began to crack before the deities. Wars and disruptions in reality caused an imbalance among spirits. The deities saw immediately that this was not an act of natural divergence—which would work to balance itself out—and concluded one of the 10 deities was responsible for intentionally sabotaging the newly formed Spectrum.

    Pharuuii, for which all Realmly Knowledge belonged to, would openly suggest that another deity had tampered with the Spectrum—leading to these fractures. He would ask first of the deities Nakndes and Caspierre, the two responsible for reality’s structure and natural development, if they had any part in this.

    “Impunity and nonsense directed towards the structure and Manifestation, of which Caspierre would not take. Those are the walls and boundaries, the materials placed in order, and fault was not initial and thus cannot be sourced to those attributes.”

    Caspierre pushed back on the suggestion that the structure her attributes spawned were the cause of these fractures. The fractures weren’t initial or built-in and were clearly tampered with or broken; that would automatically mean it couldn’t be her doing.

    “The Natural Force is one of untempered Reality working as a flow, but not one of intentional misaction. Nakndes would turn down the outcome that Nature was the poisoned of any such way if the walls were eroded by choice.”

    Nakndes would also reject the suggestion that natural force was the cause. Nature is the creating force, and one that works to balance the rules of existence. It cannot be destroyed nor will it destroy itself. Doing so would be antithetical to the purpose of Nature itself.

    The rest of the deities would then take turns speaking and rejecting any possible suggestion that they’d destroy the Spectrum they all contributed to making.

    Tools of spiritual Element were used but not the root cause, nor could the misaction of those spellcast, be they the curse or the cast, be inherently one of the cast itself. Caishor would opine and flatly reject.”

    Caishor would state the Elements are tools and not agents of chaos on their own. One would have to use such properties with ill intentions first.

    “A lack of serine hope in the divine, or a rejection altogether of the deities from which stand at this point, no faith nor call for Mercy, has been noticeable, but not one of intentional creation. That Worship and in pure standing would be desired, not one of rejection. Carnyie would breathe out in softness.”

    Carnyie states that the existence of worship for the divine thrones and the lack thereof and even opposition are both present in reality, but those exist in a free-flowing state regardless. He goes on to say that it would be asinine for a deity to intentionally break a system that allows that free-flow of worship or lack thereof as deities should idealistically be beyond the need for such petulant actions if truly seen as linchpins of reality.

    With the threat to beginnings and endings devolving into endless static, there would be no desire to cause a collapse into the oblivion created out of chaos. Vuetenexzyei concluded.”

    Vuetenexzyei curtly states that destroying the Spectrum would create a static situation where no Spiritual Ends or Beginnings would ever exist in and concludes it would be meaningless to create such a state unless one feared the possibility of ends.

    Corrupted divergence would stagnate those new beginnings in entirety, so would be the agreement of Kyaien.”

    Kyaien reiterates the point made by Vuetenexzyei that Spiritual Beginnings would be meaningless and nonexistent in a world without either beginnings or ends.

     “The workings of the Heart are not meant to be tested by its Time nor by the core Attachment of Love. These are irrational and unpredictable, but are agents of building and adherence. The corruption before these thrones is one of breaking, not of strengthening. Saifaosé would neatly refuse.”

    Saifaosé would state while the concept of Love is an irrational action, it isn’t a destructive one. The root of the Initial Will is that of building connections and can’t be used to destroy them.

    The intention of purpose has kept busy with the divergence. Strict code to uphold the laws of Reality established in this Existence are the intention of this throne, and the divergence of that causes nothing but bother rather than cheer. The patience of this is naught, and the Punishment is swift. The vandal would see to it that cold flames capture them forever. Kurakku strictly imprisoned the corrupted attempts and rebounded the accusation.”

    Kurakku reminds the other deities that his entire role is Divine Punishment for those who break the structures before them, and that he has grown tired with the sudden and sharp rise in vandals. In doing so, Kurakku has constructed an azure-flamed chamber for all those who continue to break the Spectrum where all suffering and Wrathful Punishment will be eternal.

    However, as nine of the deities stated their rejection to the suggestion they intentionally broke the Spectrum, the remaining deity Arkellus, as he was named then, would defend the influx of dubious divergence.

    Arkellus would retort indignantly that the Existence of the deities was collapsing in a world left to its own intention. A Reality of such unchallenged and unwatched development would be one of which the deity would be an afterthought, and soon, one of no thought. Strict fear of nonexistence believed to be of lack of thought towards or Worship for, rather than one of simple lack to discovery or erasure.”

    Arkellus defended the rapid decline in stability by insinuating that such a state left to its own Free Will would render the deities useless. He believed that the deities should impose a direct rule upon their creation, and be an ever-present force and face for all to submit to and serve; this would keep the relevance of the deities unquestioned and never to fade into obscurity.

    Irregular, the Truth of Reality and Existence are not hinged on the Self gripping to eternity, not to the uplifting of breaking the structure. For what defense could be possibly borne from this chain of thought other than unkempt fear? Nothing untouched by eyes that has seen it all would suggest such a case. Pharuuii would have none of it.”

    Pharuuii flatly reminded Arkellus that deities have no need to grip to an eternal presence as they are already the originators of existence itself; he would go on to say only a being succumbing to the fear of lacking an existence would be so petty as to demand they be center-of-attention in every and all cases indefinitely.

    The two deities would go back and forth on this point for some time, with Arkellus arguing that gods must be forceful and act as kings and Pharuuii reaffirming that deities are beyond the need for praise and need for unquestioned allegiance; such wants are left to beings who cannot face fear itself. Pharuuii would indirectly suggest that Arkellus was fearful of not existing and not being revered as the ultimate power to all and therefore willing to destroy everything as a petulant reaction to this reality.

    “The divided organs are of no use for those who desire to exist in full authority, and standing here are those entities who would sacrifice their own Existence to maintain the imperfect and uncontrolled existences of spirits. So see it, those divergences will come back in the full force of corruption, lead into the palace, and toppled those thrones. These attributes left to sit would be picked up and engulfed into one, and a God of All Worlds will be brought into a new light. Carried lofted fools of sorted balance be no more, and a true king would sit upon a single throne. See it so, you must as you know the Truth. Anger consumed the deft one.”

    Arkellus would take great offense and embarrassment to this. His ire to the suggestion he was weakened by fear pushed him to declare that the Divine Thrones were a graveyard and a prison and vowed to garnish a legion of Cario Lordes and others to topple the other nine deities. Arkellus decided that he would go to war with the other deities, destroy them, and devour their attributes and create a new being in himself, a “God of all Worlds” who would rule over existence as its ever-present, unquestioned, and all-powerful king.

    Scoffed, and with total ridicule, would such a task result in the ending of all. A collapsed Reality that is exclusively blinded by fear and innate fault being the remainder. In any stance, the attempt is sure to be noble for the inflated Self, but not one of Truth, Reality or success. A quiet Knowledge was brewed long before the outburst, one beyond fear, but you are to be pleased to beget a go either way. The rule of Existence is sought as a game by the fearful, and will be played as a war of Truth to the understanding. Even beside the Originator of Punishment, whom the fear is heavily stoked by and has been obviously so from the initial flash, would see to it the chambering of this corruption be held up upon a new era of equilibrium once the eruption of fear has been quelled by Reality. The conclusion had been decided upon the wiser Pharuuii.”

    Pharuuii scoffed at the mere suggestion of a God of all Worlds and reminded Arkellus of old Realmly Truths of how existence works—that the key to existence is balance, and that his ill-thought desire to engulf all would immediately implode everything he hoped to conquer as a result. If existence had meant to be held in a single hand, it would’ve spawned that way from the Initial Flash, which it most certainly did not. Pharuuii flatly said Arkellus would eventually destroy himself from his own arrogance, Fear, and Hubris attempting this plan. However, Pharuuii would go on to say Arkellus was free to attempt his foolish goal despite the warning given, and that he would most likely have to learn this Realmly Truth the hard way. He reminded Arkellus that Kurakku had already created a chamber for any and all that seek this intentional vandalism, and that the other deities have long-since been aware of how Arkellus feared the attributes of Kurakku and Kurakku’s wrathful and vengeful demeanor for having to handle such petulant actions.

    Arkellus rejected all the warnings, criticisms, and the possibility of his undoing and would leave the Divine Thrones and begin his rebellion by gathering forces of sympathetic or advantageous spirits and Cario Lordes.

    That will conclude the chapter “Divergence” which sets up the start of the Cosmic Conflict that is the entire reason this Order and Ordinance exists. But we still have a one more chapter to cover before we get into that portion. Next week, we’ll go into the first rebellion itself and start of Arkellus’s exile and renaming of Deceptuary. Until then, we hope to see you next week for our next Commentary. Thank you and have a Sacred Day.

    —AHG et al.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We’re excited for our second week of Commentary on the first portion of the Xyphokron—entitled Xykozheiz. Last Week, we covered the first chapter of Xykozheiz and went over the topics of the spiritual origins of existence according to Xyphoist Philosophy. Along with that, we went introduced the 10 deities, their various attributes, and descriptive characteristics. We also went over the existence of the first form of existence, the Spiritual Spectrum, and briefly introduced its components and inhabitants—that being the Divine Thrones of the 10 deities, the Realm of Spiritual Collection named Xykopsysomi, and the spiritual beings that exist in Xykopsysomi—Spirits.

    Today we will cover the second chapter, entitled “Creation,” which will go further into the explanation of what characteristics a spirit has, introducing all the inner components of spirituality and introducing the Xyphoist concept being a “self.” We will also discuss the various sub-realms of Xykopsysomi, the different types of spirits that exist in each, and describe the existence of Sanghjei (Song of Spiritcast) and the various forms said to be practiced by higher spirits. So, without further wait, let’s begin.

    “The Spirit and Self, root of rudimentary spiritual existence, was set forth as the starting foot. The Spirit body, one making of a Heart, a Mind, Emotion, all connected in a confined Spirituality of resonance, would become the mold and the ethereal body of the spirit. Together, sentience could sprout forth of its own accord, as most would be left to their own development.”

    As mentioned before, a spirit is the name for beings that exist within the realm of Xykopsysomi; while there are various types of spirits will have their own unique names, all beings within Xykopsysomi are spirits. Before going into each type, we should establish what makes a spirit a spirit and go through the various parts of consolidated spiritual beings.

    All spiritual beings, but specifically in the case of spirits, are held together by a structure called the Anatomical Spiritual Self (or just “Self” for short). While the Xyphokron goes into greater depth, we’ll briefly go over the main parts of the Self. A Self consists of a Spiritual Heart (Core), a Mind (Psyche), and the Attachments (Emotions). The Heart is the chief regulator of the Self’s functions, and has many various parts that control the Attachments, the balance of light and dark auras, and the ability to perceive reality. This is also the key linchpin where the Initial Will of Love adheres to, and every component of the Heart has its own name and function, which is elaborated more thoroughly in the Xyphokron’s later portions. The Heart is the most devastating part of the Self to be corrupted.

    Next, we have the Mind or Psyche. The Mind is the controller of the personality within a Self. The Mind also works in conjunction with the Heart to understand Realmly Knowledge. From an individual perspective, many humans see the Mind as the most prominent portion of their Self, as it reflects their personality and projective ability to others.

    Finally, we have the Attachments or Emotions, which act as limbs to the Heart specifically but can be acted upon by the Psyche. While there are a multitude of Emotions, Love is and shall always be considered the Initial Will and most powerful Attachment that is found directly within the Heart itself.

    Moving on from that cursory review of the main components of the Self, we can now dive into the Spirit itself, the various types, and the sub-realms of Xykopsysomi that each type of Spirit exists within.

    “The spirit could evolve, engage in higher level. A root could, through spiritual conquest and development, engorge and empower. Great Spirits of this standing, leading in new cosmic divergent realms, would lead the root spirits in legions under the divine for periods to come. A shiupsyodon, a spirit of great power, would lead the roots to dimensions of legend and conquest, a dimension of higher spiritual force, a dimension of Vaushxyleiz.”

    All spiritual beings emit Spiritual Resonance—which is akin to giving out a spiritual wavelength that is both generalized but also unique to each individual spiritual being. In the general case, spirits of different categories will exist on different planes of existence based on the level or type of spiritual resonance. In the case of the most rudimentary spirits, called Root Spirits, the general resonance emitted from Root Spirits forms a sub-realm of Xykopsysomi known as Aehixyka; this is where most spirits exist within.

    “The spirit could evolve, engage in higher level. A root could, through spiritual conquest and development, engorge and empower. Great Spirits of this standing, leading in new cosmic divergent realms, would lead the root spirits in legions under the divine for periods to come. A shiupsyodon, a spirit of great power, would lead the roots to dimensions of legend and conquest, a dimension of higher spiritual force, a dimension of Vaushxyleiz.”

    Spirits can gain in resonance or spawn with such high spiritual resonance that they move beyond that of Root Spirits. These “Great Spirits” are known as Shiupsyodon and exist on a higher plane and therefore exist in their own sub-realm known as Vaushxyleiz. Shiupsyodon hold immense power and influence among other spirits—with some of the most legendary of these Great Spirits controlling huge legions of Root Spirits and having the ability to create their own pocket dimensions.

    “Dubious Divergence, as expected in realms of Reality left to their own accord, came of the spirit too. Unattended development, as the world is not one of perfection, came with faults of dubious consequence. Chained to the force of Corruption, the intent and of total desire to revert to disheveled chaotic ruin, would sicken as it sees fit. A spirit, lost in the gate of corruption, stupefied by its influences, would fall to that of demonic Nature. A lorded low status of sickness, that of a Cario Lorde, as the name would be given. Aimless yet seeking power, the root spirit would be key to the violence of the Cario Lorde and the diet of demonic gluttony. Cast aside for their dubious Nature, the Cario Lordes would be placed, although not always chambered, in the pit of Cariyov.”

    Moving away from the divisions based on pure resonance, certain spirits can fall to dubious divergence. Enter the broken spirit, the corrupted spirit, the spirit that failed to form properly. These spirits are known as Cario Lordes—spirits of dubious origin and action, who are corrupted by nature itself or by intentional action. These Cario Lordes are often malicious in nature, often trying to lure other spirits into their darker inner grasp to devour them. The general nature of Cario Lordes leaves them often eldritch in appearance. The corrupted spiritual resonance emitted by Cario Lordes forces them into their own corrupted sub-realm known as Cariyov, which borders on the darker realms.

    “Those cast in total shadow, the spirits of dark, enclosed within in a core, would too come from divergence. A being of darkness in its purest form, the Dauharouki, would be left in their own kingdom of supreme darkness, led by a central Aur of great dark beings, in the shadows of Daurzarc.”

    Speaking of such realms, spirits are also divided by the supreme levels of light and darkness that they may consist of. In the case of darkness, we have spirits known as Dauharouki—spirits consisting of supreme darkness enveloped around a core, which they are drawn to. These dark spirits, while not as malicious as Cario Lordes, still desire to drag other spirits into darkness and consume their Hearts. The supremely dark resonance Dauharouki emit creates a sub-realm of equal darkness known as Daurzarc.

    “Light was still a divergence, even from the initial light. That of spiritual origin left to its development that was enshrined in supreme light, the Neishirans, would too be given haven in a pocket of their habitation, a dimension of Niczhei. The blinding light, while in practice would be of benevolence, would strip the root spirit of its Self and leave nothing but spiritually unguided husk, deemed a falling entity of FaLelle.”

    On the other end, beings of supreme light exist in the same right. Neishirans, or spirits consisting of supreme light, exist in their own sub-realm of Niczhei. Despite the common assumption that dark is evil and light is good, there is no concrete idea that any are uniquely good or evil, just opposing but often complimenting. As such, Neishirans can still be dangerous to root spirits, as the blinding light of Neishirans will strip a root spirit of its Self; the remaining spirituality will then aimlessly wander all of existence with no Self to direct it. The resulting aimless being is known as a FaLelle.

    “And of all these, beings of existence, and spirits in name, shall bestow upon them the access to the Seals guaranteed in the attribute of Spellcast borne of the deity Caishor, a Song of Spirit, and a Cast of energies forth to manifest in action and direction. The action of Sanghjei, Spellcast, shall come forth from the Seals Birthed by the divine. Seals of Order and of other varying forms. In such spiritcast shall there be root Spellcast, incantation and action taken. Charms, protection stemmed from Love. Curses, agents of malice. And cast of great and overzealous power, Forbidden in use and of status of the deity.”

    Spirits are said to be able to manifest their spirituality into actions known as Sanghjei. This Sanghjei comes in many forms, with the purest forms being Xyphokonic Seals—spiritual accesses that directly come from the Xyphozons and their Attributes. Beyond Seals are general Spellcast, which can be widely diverse, can be manipulated or established in various disciplines, or be crafted in experimental fashion. There are certain types of Sanghjei, such as charms, curses, and forbidden cast, which stem from various actions or emotions as a medium to cast them. Charms, for example, are protectants that come from the power of Love; Curses, in contrast, are latent agents of harm cast on others out of spite or hate. Forbidden Cast, as the name suggests, are Sanghjei so dangerous or destructive that using such casts would cause great harm to all or destabilize the equilibrium in a catastrophic way.

    That concludes the second Commentary on the section entitled “Creation.” Much of this information helps to build up the general foundation of how the world works according to Xyphoist Philosophy; however, so far we’ve only covered the early creation of the first realms. In the next Commentary, we’ll begin diving into the great conflict that brought us to the situation we exist in now (and the whole reason why this Ordinance exists at all). Once again, each Commentary is a brief explanation of what’s written in the Xyphokron—with enough information to get a good idea of the general concept. For much more detailed explanations, reading the actual Xyphokron will be of great help. Eventually, upon completion of the Xyphokron review, we’ll begin truly diving into full discussion of philosophical topics from the Xyphoist perspective, and begin addressing many of today’s topics. Until then, we’ll continue reviewing Xykozheiz as planned.

    That’s all for today, thank you for your time, and have a Sacred Day.
