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.
