• 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.

  • Greetings from the Xyphokonic Order and Ordinance. We are nearing the end of this Period of Watching, and throughout this Period we’ve taken a reprieve from the more pressing topics of how evil is currently infesting our worlds at levels we have not seen before. As mentioned before, my colleagues have done a wonderful job thus far laying out how each Xyphozon plays a role in combatting this evil—as I covered my own dedicated Commentary on that focus at the start of this Xyphojinamic Calendar.

    Today, we will end this Period by returning to that focus and turning our attention back to evil and its faults. The topic on hand for this Sacred Day, of course, shall still pertain to Death; we are still under Lord Vuetenexzyei’s watch after all. We will discuss how the major divergent and theigrited philosophies fear the eternal reality of Death and have that fear embedded in their philosophies.

    We’ll start by reiterating, if not apparent, that under the Xyphoist Philosophy, Death is Eternal. This is an unquestioned reality; mortals will die and be capable of dying regardless of what any and all circumstances or conditions placed upon them. Deceptuary believed, through the use of his vessels, that he would become immortal. He believed he truly was unable to be killed through the combination of his multiple vessels and his deity-class spirituality protecting them. The Lords, of course, saw through that plan before it was even hatched, and created the Nine Incarnates through a process Deceptuary could not replicate—thus making all his vessels acutely vulnerable to Death and done so without his ever being aware of the fact until it was too late.

    From this, along with Deceptuary’s general fear of fading from existence, led him to purposely influence the philosophies that follow his whim to focus on eternal life even in death. The original theigrited philosophy does avoid the intense focus on eternal life after death and spends more time focusing on proximal ethnic priorities; this was one of the many reasons Deceptuary had essentially forsaken them as his chosen blood warriors and purposely orchestrated two newer factions that would, as time would tell, become increasingly hostile to the existence of the original followers of Deceptuary’s false identity on Earth.

    Those later two theigrited philosophies, created by Deceptuary’s direct involvement, were spawned specifically to conduct the most harmful and violent of his whims upon mortal kind. In doing so, the followers tasked with that job were promised some form of eternal reward or eternal life by following those whims. In many ways, it has caused a decline in the finality of Death or the empathy for the deaths of those that aren’t proximal to them. Through the crusades, forced conversions, conquering, and other subsequent atrocities committed in the name of religious indulgence, the complete lack of empathy for the liberties or lives of other coupled with the belief that those actions were justified through their own beliefs is a clear indication of Deceptuary’s influence. To him, the deaths of nonbelievers is negligible at best and deserved at worst, and to the continuation of his own existence at all costs is the only thing that matters. This belief is then spread through his orchestrated philosophies on Earth: conquer and kill in the name of Deceptuary and you shall be given eternal life and reward.

    In contrast to the Xyphoist Philosophy, doing quite literally all of those things will lead to Divine Punishment through the various Immoral Acts or Great Acts of Theigritry. Likewise, Terms in Heaven are also not eternal, as the Heavenly Dream fades into bliss before the soul eventually is cast back into the spectrum. Sacred Spirituality, or becoming in angel, requires one to cast aside their Self for that Angelic status, and thus is not an eternal self-serving existence. Truly, the only things in the Xyphoist Philosophy that are eternal from our perspective are Divine Punishment and Death. This is an intentional design of the Lords, as the Cosmic Flow requires Death, and because the theigrited energy inflicting damned souls is part of Deceptuary and is required to be brought back to the Core of existence to rebalance it.

    In conclusion, Deceptuary’s fear, as per usual, is the core influence to why the divergent philosophies that follow him also fear Eternal Death and wish to cling to a everlasting life.
