Shards & In-World texts:

Shards:

Indulgence (Proposed by Lopen’s Tenth Cousin):

A combination of a large fragment of Ambition's power (probably the Evil), with a lot of Dor that has been transported to the threnodite system. The shard ends up being very ambitious - rewarding those who have ambition, but it both wants to serve the people and rule over them. Therefore, I will call the shard...

Indulgence - for the fact that the ambitious are rewarded, no matter how much dominion they set up over their fellow man. Intent - to reward ambition, especially the kind that promotes either the development of the people (devotion) or the development of governmental power (dominion)

The vessel was a member of the Ire that fled after he stole an ambitious amount of Dor for himself in order to not deal with the consequences. He fled to one of the most inhibited systems in terms of growth - Threnody, in the fact that they have difficulty doing anything contrary to the will of the Shades. His name... Edalant

(Aon Eda (superior / lofty))

Corruption (Proposed by Entr0pic):

Nature: combined shard (ruin + cultivation)

name: corruption

description of intent: a manifestation that nothing can stay the same; things shift, they grow, people turn good, turn bad. It does not need to lead to destruction or growth, just an alteration of previous existence. While this is similar to ruin, I don't think it’s entirely the same: ruin wants an end to all things, while corruption wants everlasting shifting, a shift between ruination and growth. Same applies to how it’s similar to cultivation

Misc abt vessel: they were nobody, really. They were a random civilian on some backwater planet that just so happened to be at the proper place. A fight between retribution, cultivation, and harmony led to significant amounts of ruin and cultivation raining down onto his planet. However, he was where most of it fell. The power called to him, seeing him as a fine vessel. The powers don’t like being alone for long, as we know. Now, ascended to shardhood, he tries to do decently. However, he never was that assertive, and this power knows what it wants… 

(this next bit of info was added after the post was canonized)

The sacred number for corruption is 3. Corruption is NOT evil. Despite corruption having a negative connotation, he does NOT WANT TO HARM PEOPLE. He does not like to do things that cause pain, even though he must. He is not cruel when he does not have to be. However, the power is very compelling, and he is NOT assertive. 

Verity (Proposed by SpiritOfWrath):

[Currently no info]

[Proposal was:

The Shard of Verity!

Uuuuhhhh

Strives to tell the truth

no matter what.

Second post:

Verity is the Shard of truth - except Verity will not hesitate to do whatever it takes to spread the truth.

Verity’s number is 2.

Aaannd that’s about all on the Shard rn.

The rest is really up to yall, but I was THINKING

That rarely happens.

Verity, Vessel: Solara, a previously microkinetic individual - whose specialty was illusion. In mortality, was  abused for power, leading to an unnatural conviction against lies even before Shardhood. Spent time in jail for assault. 

Verity, Color: White (If that’s possible - not sure if a 0-value is smt the shards have.)

Verity, intent: Verity is. Verity will be. Truth is consistent. Lies crumble. And all lies will eventually crumble, whether by natural causes, or by Verity’s influence. What harm, then, is there in taking down the lies manually? They are a blemish, really. Offensive. 

Verity, Objective: Purge the unworthy. As such, a worrying amount of propaganda is circulated for her people, and this is where the crusade stems from.

Verity, manifestation: A human form, wearing plate armor, glowing very very brightly. The glow is much less harmful to those Invested by her

In World Texts

Prologue: excerpt taken from a translation of the hymn of beginnings

In the Beginning was Indulgence and possessed God and Indulgence was God.

He looked upon the Earth and saw that it was empty and dry.
And Indulgence said “Let the Waters fill the earth and Let the Earth bring forth Life.

And it was so 

Indulgence Named the Earth Arvus.
And Indulgence Named himself Lord of Arvus 

And it was so.

Indulgence Ruled Magnanimous and with Great Splendor.
Then came The Great Other, the corrupter of all.

He came slowly and with Great Stealth.
And Indulgence Saw not.

He touched all that was Indulgence and all that He touched became like him. 

And Indulgence was wrath. His face was red with fury.

”How dare you take what is MINE”

And across in might, our Lord Lifted his fist. 

then came the Third. The one of Shining and pride.

He came not as the Other but with Boldness and much arrogance.
With a Great voice he did give challenge. With a conceited face he did demand a confrontation. 

Indulgence drew back not out of fear but wisdom . 

For why fight your enemies when you can get them to fight each other?

 And Our Lord did plot. 

Fellcaster code of conduct, written by Entr0pic:

Fellcaster code of conduct, written 59 C’R 

1: Thou shall be beholden to no laws besides these

2: Thou shall not use thine power to promote order

3: Thou shall not use thine powers to harm one of our own

4: Thou shall be a proxy of the great chaos, our lord Vav’orit

5: Thou shall not shun thine powers, and shall use them accordingly

6: Thou shall not tolerate disrespect against our lord Vav’orit, our holy order, or against thouself 

7: Thou is a holy man, and shall act as such

8: Thou shall not try to circumvent these laws

9: If thou has succeeded in breaking these laws, it shall result in dan’kiter

This is our best attempt at translating the old laws. But as many of you know, vivin’kor is a convoluted language. I wonder, if these laws had been preserved, would the fellcaster orders have fallen so far?
