• Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We return to this coveted space to continue our Period-long discussion on corruption and its nefarious effects on reality. In the last Commentary, we went over what form corruption—a defiled power of Deceptuary’s—takes in Xykopsysomi. Today, we’ll talk more about corruption in Xyphojinami, the greater realm of mortal beings. We will talk about how Deceptuary infiltrated his resonance into our very realms and what forms corruption manifests as in the living world. Let us start.

    As mentioned a few Commentaries ago, corruption in Xyphojinami is a result of Deceptuary’s exile into Gheisialez. To briefly recap, Gheisialez is an outer region of the Spiritual Spectrum where existence begins to fade into nothingness. This region was crafted by Lord Caspierre to keep Deceptuary from entering the elder realm of Xykopsysomi and, in theory, the newly formed Xyphojinami. However, while Deceptuary was locked out of Xykopsysomi via Lord Vuetenexzyei’s power to “end” his presence on the defunct Divine Thrones, that was not necessarily applied to Xyphojinami.

    Deceptuary would eventually seize on the loophole and learn that he could seep his defiled resonance through the Gate of Zeiga by attaching it to souls moving into Xyphojinami. Through this seemingly clandestine infiltration, his resonance slowly created diverging sects and cults that would end up worshiping idealized versions of Deceptuary and lead to various outbursts of violence from those sects in attempts to erase followers of the Xyphokonic Order and other belief systems; this was a direct attack on the spiritual liberties guaranteed by the Order that keep existence in balance.

    Corruption, as mentioned in the previous Commentary, can be attached to any mortal being within Xyphojinami; this is in contrast to spirits in Xykopsysomi who only become Cario Lordes if inflicted with corruption. And while any mortal being can be inflicted with corruption, Humans are the most likely to be the targets of this circumstance. Due to having lower spiritual resonance and vessels that are less likely to fend off such influence, humanity has found itself as the most frequent victims of corruption. This was not by accident, as Deceptuary learned early on in his exile that his influence spawned human cults that worshipped false versions of himself and determined that he should target humanity the most. Shianiki, mortals of great spiritual resonance who exist in other realms outside our Human realm of Nikconzin, had stronger resistance to Deceptuary’s influence in the same way that Shiupsyodon did in Xykopsysomi; the two circumstances parallel each other in that regard. It is not impossible to be a great mortal and succumb to corruption, but the likelihood is lower the greater one’s spiritual resonance is.

    The infiltration into humanity would eventually lead to large scores of Xyphoites being wiped out by theigrit-led sects and crusades, with particular note of the mass influence over Earth’s human population. That leads us to our current predicament within the Cosmic Struggle; we are now living in the defiled world that Deceptuary has been slowing poisoning, and it is the duty of this Ordinance to work against that noxious infiltration.

    So, to conclude, corruption in Xyphojinami works in a significantly different way than in the elder realm of Xykopsysomi. Corruption inflicts any mortal, but has an affinity for attaching to Humans more so than others. Deceptuary has specifically targeted humans due to this specific circumstance; all of this has accumulated in our current situation. In our first installment of this Period-long series, we mentioned the effects of this corruption upon our realm—all of it terrible. We intend to work against those effects with the work of this Ordinance, as is the duty given to us from the Lords.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. We welcome you all back for our continued series on the topic of corruption and its effects upon existence. To review, we started off last week discussing the most apparent and direct manifestations of corruption on a more general sense and drew the conclusion that corruption’s intended goal is to break reality on behalf of Deceptuary’s whims. Today we will dive into how corruption shows itself in the elder realm of Xykopsysomi and draw some inferences from those circumstances. Let us begin.

    We need to first look at the celestial aspects of the elder realm before we understand exactly how corruption truly works in Xykopsysomi. In order to do so, we must return to Daetos’s “Xykozheiz” that recounts a few crucial moments that establish the status of corruption in Xykopsysomi. First, we shall speak of the Cario Lordes:

    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.

    Here, we can see that the Cario Lorde, a spirit that is malformed or sickened, is changed due to corrupted energy. We then draw the inference that these Cario Lordes, a natural part of Xykopsysomi’s existence, crawled from the Elongated Shadow of Arkellus—who we now know as Deceptuary.  In the spirit realm, corruption only takes the form of Cario Lordes. Spirits of other origins that succumb to corrupted forces themselves become Cario Lordes and, due to their spiritual resonance changing, are plunged into the pits of Cariyov. The unfortunate case for these wretched spirits is that the condition of being a Cario Lorde itself is akin to slow-motion spiritual rot, and they will need to continue dubious acts and devouring other spirits to prevent themselves from starting to rot and be cast out to Gheisialez to complete their anguished perishing.

    The manifestation of corruption in Xykopsysomi is in stark comparison to that in Xyphojinami, Realm of Mortals. Whereas any mortal can be inflicted with corruption in Xyphojinami and remain of their particular category, all spirits that are corrupted in Xykopsysomi became Cario Lordes. We can attribute that to both our mortal shells holding in resonance compared to the ethereal nature of spirits, and by way of another natural law within Xykopsysomi that doesn’t apply to our world.  We can see this law established in the following excerpt from “Xykozheiz” again:

    Vuetenexzyei finalized the pact.

    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.

    Exile, immediate and violent, in a flash of dark and violet fire, in a form of Death, would go the tenth deity to the other regions, not able to escape as the Realmly Structure has made such moves forbidden for such class of deity Spirituality.

    This is the moment, just after Deceptuary’s first rebellion had been defeated and he was confronted by the remaining deities that still stat upon the now defunct Divine Thrones, that the natural law regarding corruption in Xykopsysomi was established. Here in this event, Lord Vuetenexzyei utilized His powers to cause the Spiritual End of things to end the Divine Thrones as the core of existence along with ending Deceptuary’s part of them. By extension, with the end of the Divine Thrones and specifically of Deceptuary’s Throne and influence as a deity upon the only existing realm at the time, Lord Vuetenexzyei established that all powers once attributed to Deceptuary are capped in their current form and can’t expand further in Xykopsysomi. Upon be violently thrust out to Gheisialez, Deceptuary’s influence over Xykopsysomi effectively ended from a divine standpoint.

    With all that done, the status of corruption—which originates from Deceptuary—was capped at the existence of Cario Lordes, the only form in which corruption can take place in Xykopsysomi. The Lords would then form Xyzokizon and establish that as the new core of existence that creates the rules of Reality—eternally locking out Deceptuary’s ability to influence the elder realm at the least. From that point on, the natural although still dubious existence of Cario Lordes were mostly banished to Cariyov and their proliferation limited to their demonic formation in said pit.

    To conclude, in Xykopsysomi, corruption has been drastically limited after the end of Deceptuary’s rebellion against the Divine Thrones. Through the natural circumstance of Cario Lordes, the ending of said Divine Thrones, and “Arkellus” no longer existing as a deity and locked out of Xykopsysomi altogether, corruption has been mostly capped among spirits. The same cannot be said among mortals, but that will be a discussion for next time.

  • Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. Welcome to Lord Caspierre’s Period of Watching for this year; I am pleased to be back with all of you here. When last I was leading the Commentary, we recently declared Yrridthmas—signally a significant change in the state of the Cosmic Struggle. The change was somewhat sudden but not unexpected which left me with inadequate time to prepare a tailored series effectively targeting Deceptuary’s meddlesome vandalism. Therefore, we will have this series now. This Period will be spent talking about corruption’s effects on Existence—namely the damage it causes. We may also speak on some general discussion regarding the Realms, as I do have interest in speaking about the Sacred Realm at some point.

    Before getting too far off topic, let’s begin with today’s discussion. Corruption, as been stated many times, is Deceptuary’s spiritual influence on the Spectrum. Once one of his attributes known as Divergency, Deceptuary’s fear and hate soured that power and turned Divergence into corruption; a power once meant to ensure movement in any and all directions was turned into a defiled flood that rots and destroys all that it comes in contact with. For this reason, among others, the Lords of the Order exiled Deceptuary to Gheisialez—a creation of Her Excellency’s. Here, as the Lords understood, Deceptuary’s influence would be waned but not fully chambered. He would undoubtedly try to influence the Realms from his exile, and the Lords were well aware of this intention.

    By seeping small amounts of his sickened resonance in the Gate of Zeiga, Deceptuary slowly poisoned our very greater Realm of Xyphojinami with corruption; the corruption latched onto new souls soon to be born in Xyphojinami. Through those damned souls, Deceptuary’s influence pushed them to create great harm amongst significant portions of the living world. The corruption ended up so widespread that, among at least humans on Earth, Xyphoites were essentially wiped out. The corruption led to the creation of Deceptuary’s vessels, which flooded the living world with evil. Likewise, the creation of the three theigrited philosophies was a direct effect of Deceptuary’s corruption. Following, the Hayles delivered the Prophecy to the remaining Xyphoites in those most dire parts of Nikconzin, the Human World, about the Sacred Children.

    From just that brief understanding of the Cosmic Struggle, we can already see what terrible effects corruption has had on Existence. People slaughtered in masses, conquering of lands and forced conversion, abuse of their unwitting subjects, hoarding of wealth, famines, and the like. Spirituality, corruption has eroded and defiled the Realms themselves—causing spiritual fissures and breaks in Reality and resulting in dramatic appropriations of the Cosmos to avoid existential catastrophe. Mind you, these effects are focused on the lives of Human mortals mostly; this does not cover the magnitude of other damages caused by corruption elsewhere in Existence.

    We can draw the conclusion that corruption’s effects line up with Deceptuary’s goal with Xyphojinami—he wishes to poison it, to conquer what remains, and to use those inflicted forces to wage war against the elder Realm of Xykopsysomi and the Sacred Realm. Deceptuary intends to conquer all that he can and wage a futile war against the Lords, and his desperate plans start by poisoning us in the living world. We can ultimately understand corruption as Deceptuary’s poison that he hopes to use on us and our Reality. Corruption serves no positive role in Existence as Deceptuary only desires the destruction of our current Existence and the formation of his own; that is the true purpose of corruption.
