Embodiments of Ideology

[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIwv3eh4Mq4 ]

 

“It is not known what drives them to commit themselves to

such unrelenting depth. The ones who come, desiccated and

war-torn, operate with greater capacity than a soldier. The scars

which line their kind are timeless, suggesting that those that carry such

signs of damage should not walk and fight as they do. The ones

who come, bearing the book of their ways, preach to masses

with such persistence and unfaltering countenance that they’re

capable of converting others to their customs purely by the

passage of time alone; for they may stand upon thin ice

where dissidents dwell and convince others for hours and days,

With no sparse breath or impatience or will to give up.

 

But when we found their core, when we sacrificed countless

good Men who served for the sake of King and Kingdom,

when we tore apart their idols and burned the books of their

masters and executed the Men who led these things by an

unseeable chain, what remained of them simply departed.

They watched us ruin what they preached and fought for,

and as if some mere second thought or realization in lapse

of judgement, they abandoned the way which they followed,

and did not persist in their heresies a moment longer.”

- The account of a human soldier’s

interactions with Sorvians.

 

There has not been one conflict forged in this timeless world where differences were not present. It has always been the nature of Men to confide in ways which they are convinced to adhere; to spill blood and to die for these ways, to share these ways with their friends, their brothers, sons and strangers. It is hard to discern the term “way” as a singular thing, for it takes many forms. Sovereign nations have a way. They design themselves by the nature of their people and by the authority of their leaders. Culture follows a way. It is shaped by the world around those who herald culture, who learned that their way was the best way in the circumstances they faced. Faith follows a way. Their way is to say their way is true, that sometimes their way is the highest way, and that other ways are ways which lead one astray. Men are defined by ways. Without ways, they have no meaning, no guidance, and in a world without ways, Men are left to wander a plane with no mountain to follow or horizon to foresee.

 

There are those who commune deeply with this truth. A soul known as Jevex, the Spirit of Order and Self-Sacrifice, confides with them more than Men themselves, for ways are abstract aspects of the mind which are not confined to the nature of mortals. One may say Jevex may have been present since the very dawn of time, for is it by a “way” that the Creator shaped the very cosm all things are hosted within. But instead he formed by the sheer presence of Men’s attunement to ways; Jevex was birthed by the fire within that mortals bore to persist in their ways, to form their ways, to know their ways. If anyone knew the nature of ways, it was Jevex. It was inspiring; to spread one's’ ways to thousands of others and for these same ways to guide them forth to carve their path through history is something no other form of being truly achieved. Even the Aengudaemons, who directly usher ways to Men by the design of divine missions, have never come close to such a feat. They may only mimic the creation of ways and perpetuate what they believe in by sharing it with duration-adhering souls that do not follow Immortal existence. Such a transaction, it is alien -- But in the end, it is the cultivation of ways.

 

Jevex wanted to surpass what Men could achieve. He wanted the fervor and the belief of countless mortals bound to the soul of but individuals. What the fervor and belief and expression of these things was based around, Jevex did not care; it was not within his interest to inspire ways within Men, only to incite the conception of ways. In old times, he would come to create the very embodiment of ideology and the servitude put forth toward it. Jevex would conceive the Sorvians.

 

Their Nature

 

Sorvians are mortal beings which, by the power of a ritual designed by the Spirit of Order, are driven to “subsist” on the servitude of ideologies. Unlike normal mortals, they do not have free will and instead can be considered hollow and without basis until they unbiasedly find a “way” in which they are led to serve. This means, by becoming a Sorvian, one loses all sense of self; expression and personality decays to the very base level, independant thought becomes machinelike, race and differential corporeality is nullified, and they become a “canvas” for the ways of others to paint upon.

 

This means a Sorvian is nothing without an idea to serve, but the idea must be concrete; the ideology must be persistent, it must have a name, a design, a spirit of its own. It must mean something in order for a Sorvian to recognize it as something to bend the knee to. Petty oaths are nothing; baseless, militant orders are flimsy; tasks are short-lived. Sorvians crave ideologies to make them whole, and thus they only serve what is prominent. Canonism, Aspectism, Xanism, Tahariaeism, Xionism -- these are ideologies which have depth, which have meaning, which have lasted ages, that were founded by those who matter and have achieved things that bring them up as greater truths.

 

In an old age, those that witnessed the presence of Sorvians knew them as Truthbearers, for when Sorvians were seen serving their given ideologies, they did not relent in doing so. Unlike mortals, who have a gauge for questioning atrocities the occult may bring them to do, or being apprehensive in their loyalty to a cause, Sorvians are not subject to this. The only way they know in their strange, limboed existences is the ideology they are bound to, and thus they are driven to such unfaltering allegiance to something that to call them Truthbearers would be more than to express what they follow is as fact; it is to express how they do not even question what they serve, ever - not for the slightest moment.

 

Despite their lack of individuality, Sorvians are molded by the ways which they are bound to follow, and when they align with an ideology long enough, their character reforms into something unique. The best way to describe them in this state is to say they’re zealots; zealots while, indeed, they are unquestionably loyal to their own cause, still carry with them a personality. The personality of a zealot is intertwined with the way they serve, and thus, they are defined by their way. Sorvians follow this nature like a creed, and soon become not so hollow like a resistless slave after all. One cannot become a Sorvian by force, after all - it must be agreed by the one subjected to it. They become a Sorvian, knowing that on the other side, they awaken as a loyalist of boundlessly more faith in their following than they had before.

 

But while Sorvians are driven to serve ideologies unquestionably in their height, it’s all for naught when the ideology falters and fails. If not by common sense, Sorvians learn that to bind themselves to miniscule followings is to pledge themselves for frankly nothing at all, for when the cult they’d come to serve falls by the vicious persecution of a neighboring nation which thinks it heresy, Sorvians abandon the idea they aligned with because it simply no longer has standing. Sorvians cannot find it within themselves to retain loyalty to a cause without form, much unlike an old patriot who saw their kingdom fall, yet retains the ways it once formed.

 

Their Design

 

Sorvians are inheritors of Jevex’s admiration for mortal ways, so when it is stated they are “expressionless” and a “canvas”, that is to be taken both literally and figuratively. The ritual which Men go through in order to become these ideological thralls put them into a status best defined as a “stalling” -- everything within their very being, from the flesh to the very core of their soul, is put in a pause, or a limbo. Lifeforce stops its natural cycle, blood ceases to run, growth no longer transpires; organs do not function, but they do not function because they’re forced to stop, not because they die. The mind is sent into a spiral until it, too, becomes a blank slate, where the only directive is to find a worthy ideology, and, once found, to be molded by it.

 

The race of the Sorvian just erodes away. In a matter of days, all definitions of their prior race dwindles away - Elven ears become shorter, “usual”, they lose their grace and their vanity; Orcs looks their tusks, their height, they become “normal-statured”; the lush beards of Dwarves and their stocky features fade into a form of assimilating Sorvian normalcy; even Humans lose the vague definition of their racial profile, for all mortal Men become a blank slate that robs even the slightest individualistic design. The faces of mortals, they lose definition - wrinkles and facial features and everything that makes a person recognizable as who they are, it all goes away, turning the newly-formed Sorvians into a grotesque slate.

All they retain are their eyes for seeing, their nose for breathing, their mouth for speaking, their ears for hearing. Strikingly, the most ironic definitions of Sorvians is their immediate and tribal-like nature to adopt the use of masks. They wear dull masks of any kind of material on their face, and when the time comes that they bend a knee to a way which they are willed to serve, they paint their mask and design it in a way to reflect that which they follow.

The timelessness which their bodies are afflicted with is something which has its degrees of advantages and disadvantages. Mortals are defined by duration, but when put into a limbo, they simply cannot perish - to be timeless is to never have duration, by definition. So Sorvians are not foul, corrupted undead; they are merely beyond the passage of time and are not subject to its weathering. It is said of ancient Truthbearers that their visages were so contorted and scarred and battle-torn because of the nature of their ideology, not because of how much time their flesh weathered. Countless blades crossed their being to no detriment to them only to carve skin which cannot change except by force, and thus by fighting these battles, the Truthbearers were lined with old wounds that eventually sealed on their own. Corporeal deter is very unorthodox within Sorvians; time or decay or illness may not be able wear them down, but direct damage does. That is why so many of them look much like some old-age Orcish brute- the Truthbearers led so many battles against their God-fearing Human foes that the strikes upon them marked them like chalk-boards.

As a result, the wounds mortals may suffer are not suffered by Sorvians. While, in battle, their limboed coils wouldn’t be able to be hacked apart, the painful removal of extremities as bad as an arm would not incite bloodflow, nor infection, nor decay. It is the unique ability of Sorvians to, if they’re able to, collect their severed pieces and seek isolation so that, after settling torn flesh and bone and sinew in place, it may seal back upon them. This process is extremely painful for them, as is the process of being dismembered, but it keeps them together all the same.

Timelessness also means they cannot actually be destroyed. To be physically annihilated by another force would mean for their limboed souls to slowly reform them elsewhere, but only at a snail’s pace. The fact they don’t adhere to time, and are essentially immortal, means nothing -- Sorvians do not perceive their unending existence as something truly valuable, for immortality is only valuable to those who don’t lose anything in the process. To be immortal and to lose all sight of the self is nothing close to the dreams of endlessness so many mortal Men have.

However, despite history indicating the ugly appearances Sorvians may have, it differs with those who serve different ideologies. Occultist Sorvians may be broken and scarred and war-torn, but Aengulite and civil-serving Sorvians may retain undeterred flesh and an ever-masked visage that almost looks entirely humane. It depends on those who they serve and the practices they ensue.

 

Their Creation

 

To create a Sorvian, one must first know the ritual to do it. In times of yore, the Spirit of Order Jevex had blessed more Spiritually-aligned tribes with the knowledge to create them, but they had all died off. The ritual is something that will be gifted to a small sum of individual characters after a series of prophetic events involving their interaction with Jevex, which may lead to the acclaimation of Sorvian creation understanding. The ritual may be spread at these few individuals’ behest to others, whom all will be kept on an approved list.

 

In order to actually create a Sorvian with the ritual known, one must first have a consenting mortal subject. They must not be tainted or deviated in any fashion. Each defining sense of their being must be suffocated, all which can be done conventionally or with the creative utilization of herbs. The senses - seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. These five senses must be dulled, and the subject’s face must be covered with a mask to symbolically absolve them of identity. One must then express gratitude to the Spirit of Order and portray to Jevex the desire to form the given subject into a Sorvian. The subject must then profess a vow to become an agent of ideology, and will fall into a deep trance after Jevex sets his attention upon the ritual and enact his influence.

 

The mortal subject undergoes change after three Elven days of this trance, and cannot return to their prior status of a descendant. Their fate is sealed and they will be a Sorvian eternally.

 

Their Likenesses

 

The advantages and disadvantages of Sorvians will be listed in a more summarized manner here. Guidelines are also included.

 

Advantages

 

*Sorvians are capable of being the perfect soldier; while they can feel pain, their capacity to tolerate is higher even to the degrees of dismemberment, and to lose extremities such as limbs fails to incite death-bringing afflictions such as shock or bloodloss. At that point, pain and the general lack of limbs becomes the greatest deterrent.

 

*Sorvians are highly resilient to the elements and the use of clandestine utilities such as poisons. As Sorvian bodies are timeless, temporal forces such as the elements have difficulty ensuing substantial degradation to their bodies, such as freezing whether inciting frostbite or flame marking them with extreme, debilitating burns. Poisons do not work because there is not a bloodflow to lead poisons to the heart.

 

*Sorvians are unrelenting in what they believe and are incapable in faltering in this regard, much like machines and their directives. A Sorvian Canonist Priest can preach to the masses, word by word, for days upon days and with no deterrent or tire; for their will to serve their aligned way cannot be broken. This coincides with the will of soldiers as well.

 

*Sorvians bear a greater supernatural presence within their souls known as Higher-Neutrality. It prevents their timeless bodies and limboed souls from being “corrupted”, and therefore subject to the powers of Aengudaemons, as Sorvians are just as capable of serving Orders aligned with Gods as they are darker forces. If Sorvians were susceptible to these powers, that would mean Jevex’s designs for a unbiased agent of ideology were flawed, which detracts from their core design to embody any kind of mortal following.

 

*Their tolerance for physical duress is high, much like their threshold for physical pain. These two bodily aspects go hand in hand, as their timelessness prevents their muscles from suffering from exhaustion that many mortals eventually feel while traveling or upon the battlefield.

 

Disadvantages

 

*Sorvians are robbed of the “self”, meaning literally everything that defined them in mortal life is erased from their facial features to the very design of their race. They become “unbiased”, and cannot form a new personality without being dependant on the ideologies they crave to serve.

 

*As timeless beings, Sorvians lose a majority of usual mortal functions that correlate to the basic organic design of their bodies. They can no longer “enjoy” life,  reproduce, or confide in mortal virtues. They become a blank slate, a machine, an agent, and are no longer in need of these basic mortal aspects.

 

*While they are resistant to natural temporal forces, Sorvians do not react well at all to arcane-based ones. They react almost viciously to powers summoned from the Void, because powers summon from the Void do not adhere to the passage of time, much like Sorvians, meaning these powers and the Sorvians are put on the same “existential level”. This disparages their corporeal form in ways comparable to an undead reacting to gold or holy magic; Voidal fire easily catches upon their unchanging flesh, Voidal ice incites almost immediate frostbite, and Voidal arcane power’s kinetic forces are enough to tear them apart.

 

*They must always depend on an ideology to follow, because if they are not apart of one, Sorvians are reduced to bizarre nomadic entities where they cannot fight, speak or bring themselves to do something for the sake of something else unless it involves them becoming aligned with an ideology. In this same fact, they are unbiased in this strange astray state, and do not have preferences toward either dark or light or good or evil ideologies. The design of them does not matter; it is the fact they are there and may be served that does.

 

*Both their violent reaction to Voidal powers and the “pause” upon their soul prevents any kind of magical connections from being formed, even in the darkest spectrum. This means Sorvians must always depend on martial skill for matters involving combat, as they are completely unable to use magic.

 

*Because all Sorvians are locked into the same physical profile, their strength is limited in a way their endurance and pain profiles are not. While they are capable of being strong - as strong as a lithe soldier, at most - they are not strong enough to heft heavy armor and greater weaponry, especially not all at the same time. The most a Sorvian can wield is a heavy longsword or a two-handed battle axe or a fighting staff, and leather armor or chainmail, but never heavier weapons such as greatswords or protections such as plate mail or higher.

 

Guidelines

 

*Because Sorvians are both spiritually and physically forced into a status of a “blank canvas”, not only do they lose all racial identity, but the Curse of Iblees upon them is effectively broken. It becomes much like a dull stain upon a wall which is little detriment to the wall itself; it cannot function, because a Sorvian is no longer Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf. For all intents and purposes their Curse of Iblees remains, but the race that enables it simply vanishes.

 

*Sorvians are not effected by gold or holy magic because they’re not inherently unholy or godless beings. They’re designed to accommodate all ideologies, and because of this even their very origin is neutral. It comes from a ritual shaped by a Spirit, where the character must agree to being changed before the ritual makes any effect, meaning any suggestion that Sorvians are trapped or deliberately tortured souls is falsehoods; for the ability to regret what they are isn’t even something they can comprehend once in their limboed status.This expresses their machinelike nature very well.

 

*Higher-Neutrality is a force implemented into the design of Sorvians by Jevex that prevents anything like dark or Aengudaemonic impurities from tainting the limboed soul of Sorvians, which allows for them to serve any Order without being spiritually or physically affected in long-term.

 

*Because their Lifeforce is forced to remain inside them via their limboed state in order to eternally preserve them, they cannot be drained nor can it be manipulated within them. This means a Sorvian corpse is no corpse at all - it’s just a discombobulated Sorvian that had fallen into a trance of deep inactivity in react to it’s damages which will eventually reform elsewhere. This also applies for the abilities of Blood Mages, who cannot extract Sorvian Genus because Sorvian Genus is forced to remain within the blood that is stilled within them.

 

*A Sorvian’s only form of expression is a mask they are extremely inclined to wear upon creation. All Sorvians have different kinds of masks, and they are stylized further once they aligned with ideologies. Past markings upon their masks give incite to what ways they served before.

 

*All remnants of their past lives are broken up into tiny, miniscule fragments and barely take shape into anything definable. This is why Sorvians are just known as a blank slate; whatever is left from before isn’t enough to break through the bleakness that they are now.

 

*The first individuals to gain knowledge of Sorvian creation will be picked depending on their ideological relevance in the world.

 

*Sorvians get the Necrolyte race with an overlaying Sorvian race, but are not defined as undead entities.

 

*Sorvians are for both player and ET use.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hold up right there.

I hope you've spoken with Smawton or HedgeHug before writing this lore, so, if I'm not mistaken...:

 

Quote

 

Jevex - Spirit of Order, Hard Work, and Self-Sacrifice, appearing as a humanoid composed of interlocking gears. Enemy of Shezept.

 

I personally think that Jevex wouldn't simply hand out the ability to make said sorvians to random people. I believe that, only the most trusted by him and his closest worshippers, to be more specific, the shamans, would be granted the ability to make such things, which I honestly believe that would generate more roleplay for shamans than other people, yet, no matter how I see this, It has a feeling that it'll somewhat fall into more darker uses.

 

Self sacrifice and hard work would also be the consequence and need for reward. One that "sacrifices" and suffers is a sadist, so, I believe, on the very minimal things that Jevex would do is to sort of be more attatched to Jevex spiritually, such as the worshipping of him. There are other important facts about said ritual:

 

        The spirits only speak the Old Blah. For Jevex to come and give said blessing, there must be something to do it. A witch doctor or farseer, to be more specific, would be the only ones able to commungate with Jevex - for the tongue is unknown vastly to the mortals.

        Spirits don't simply give blessings because "you can bless your friend with powers", so there would probably need to have a task to be given, specially because its Jevex and its concept. For prophecies and visions to be given lore-wise, the player in question must also be a farseer.

 

tl;dr sorvians can only be created by shamans.

Dark shaman souls are scarred, they can't.

Prophecies would be given to a very small cliche group, want it or not.

I spoke with fooddude about the matter of Spirit involvement and actually proposed Enrohk initially, as the design was a combat-focused type of entity. But he suggested there wouldn't be a lot of depth playing a conflict-driven being only given personality by what they follow, so he suggested Jevex headed this kind of creature as the source of their design. Be as it may that this is related to Spirits and, by extension, Shamanism, I saw it fit better than Shamans don't have total reign over something intended to be so open-eneded. If I just pawned it off to Shamans, I'd expect the same thing to happen if I let other small groups have sole access to making something like this, which, as history suggests, only leads to small numbers of the entity in question and a general lack of their appearances.

 

I want these beings to stretch beyond the Shaman-Spirit spectrum and to have a presence of their own, able to be ritualized into existence by those who learn the ritual, and considering how little beyond mortals they are in terms of physical capacity and power, it wouldn't be fair to say they're strong enough to confine them to a single form of magic in terms of source. I will, however, take your feedback regarding the use of Old Blah in mind, and will elaborate on the initial distribution of ritual knowledge, as in the very beginning a selective few amount of groups (not magic groups specifically, ideology is the focus for a reason) are to be gathered into an eventline which may lead to the ritual's learning.

Alright. Don't forget that:

  • One does not simply learns old blah
  • It's hard to identify old blah
  • Pls pick me :((((
  • pls.

Also, can they learn any form of magic?

How does the holding of the appearance works? Jevex waltz in and takes his things to his own realm? The creation of a sorvian would also be a way of worshipping of Jevex? Also, it'd be nice if you could make so that the creator of a sorvian must fevorously worship Jevex in order to make a sorvian

I think it was just a neat idea to be made so that there would be these beings that are fervent worshippers of different gods and the spirit was an origin but not a main factor in the entire thing. That's just me though.

 

I don't think it'll go too far if it's made too connected to Shamans, it's supposed to be more varied than that by the sounds of it. They cannot learn magic, the lore says that.

Edited that just as you posted that, thankfully. I'm good at writing, I swear.

 

They cannot learn magic, no. Not sure how you mean with the second point, but the creation of a Sorvian already involves praising Jevex during the ritual and bidding him to bless the subject after they speak an oath to the Spirit to bind them. Instead of learning blah, the oath itself could probably consist of a few lines of Blah which are passed down by those who learn it from the mentioned eventline. Not being able to know this oath could prevent the ritual from being initiated by those who know it.

Let me just say that I would definitely play one of these if this lore got accepted. Being an immortal observer looking for something to give his life purpose sounds fun, then a whole lot of different RP opportunities I imagine after finally finding the niche in which the character belongs sounds like a whole lot of fun.

 

Oh also there are certain magics that don't involve changing up the soul or connecting to the void, like shamanism or more closely the dark arts. The explination for why they can't practice magic, as I understand it, is that their soul is tied in stasis and the void is something that gives them a serious case of magic lactose intolerance, which doesn't really cover the magics that only involve mana and some kind of knowledge, rather than attunement to a being or the void.
