The Recent History of the Isilioleth

 

When the putrid aura of Orgon had swept into every aspect of the world around them, the Isilioleth knew that only destruction and decay would await those that remained on the doomed continent of Vailor. With this is mind, they made haste toward the boat that the clan had prepared for such instances; for an element made most clear in the clan is one of preparedness, whether it be for life or death.

 

As the gathering of Mali’ker scrambled for their escape, the creatures of rot and destruction began to emerge from the fetid swamps around them, striking the slower of the Isilioleth that were lagging at the back of the crowd.

 

Alas, with little time to spare the clan had no choice but to press on against the swathe of disease and entrapment that sought to ensnare them in their rotting fingers. As the enormous portal at the Docks opened up on the horizon, the Isilioleth knew that they would have to leave as soon as they could; and such little time they had, that they were forced to prematurely depart from the docks, leaving behind a number of Mali’ker that fought to the bitter end against Orgon’s army.

 

Indeed, it appeared as though only the youngest and most agile of the family had made it onboard, as well as a few lingering creatures that had found their way through patches of decayed wood. As the clan fought against the remainder of these beasts, they made their way through the Spirit Realm that presented itself, absorbing the experience with adrenaline fuelled awareness.

 

Yet in their attempt to understand the strange world they found around them, they failed to notice the point at which they emerged in Axios, crashing into a nearby coast and scattering the survivors who woke at different times of the day; if indeed they woke at all.

 

It appeared the Isilioleth were not as prepared for the unknown as they had thought, a notion that would plague them in their desperate search to find one another.

 

Present (Atlas):

 

The only remaining (known) member of the clan, Zaniil Isilioleth, has recently made his home in the Dominion after signing up for the Virarim. It is here that he hopes to restore his family, reaching out to those that may have been lost during times of turmoil or conflict.

 

The Isilioleth

 

(Zaniil Isilioleth)

 

The Isilioleth are a clan of Mali’ker that have existed for many centuries, mostly in intentional seclusion. They do not consider themselves akin to those that share their racial heritage, and consider their counterparts to inherit flawed qualities and philosophies.

 

While this factor is an important part of life as an Isilioleth, it does not induce hatred or hostility in them, and is instead used as a means of separating themselves from those they deem unnatural or distracted from the path that life sets before them; one that is guided by the consideration of all senses, gifted to them by the energies that be.

 

Perhaps more tribal in nature, they do not place particular importance on features of propriety found elsewhere,  and instead have their own brand with the consideration of their bodies and minds as vessels of expression, wherein it is important to allow your emotions to flow through you and influence the world as they were meant to; where not in such lengths as to be extremely destructive or overbearing.

 

Physically, the Isilioleth are quite similar to all Mali’ker, with the exception of their lineage having less variety than their far reaching cousins. For this reason, it is impossible to find an Isilioleth with silver hair; which is considered a representation of inferiority.

 

Philosophy

 

 

The Senses and the Soul; the Soul is said to have a great many pathways that lead into it, five of which are the senses that we all know and use on a daily basis. The sixth sense is that of magic, and beyond that there are said to be innumerable ways and methods of knowing the world that go beyond what the physical body can offer. Sight, is the hated sense upon which so many rely and none can divorce themselves.

 

Shadow; contrary to popular representation, Shadow is portrayed as the harbinger of Truth. Light requires one to rely on their sight, a single sense among a great many others that one should be attempting to utilize. Darkness forces one to turn to their other, greater senses to feel their way through whatever predicament they may find themselves in.

 

Illumination; normally symbolized as chains or a prison of some other description that prevents one from understanding the world as it truly is. Light is its principle messenger, a force hated by the Isilioleth.

 

The Four Paths

 

Fire; representation of ambition

Earth; representation of trust, stability

Wind; representation of adaptability

Water; representation of empathy

 

Each of the elements have associated pathways to the soul/senses by which these basic essences can be found and manipulated. There is an ‘empathic sense’ that everyone has, but few use over the standard five, as well as a sense for adaptability, and so on and so forth.

 

When the Mali’ker come of age, they are presented with a series of trials in order to enhance and draw from these senses, and are placed in situations relating to the elements above, so that they may understand their representative values, and draw from these feelings that will be produced within them.

 

With each generation, they are aligned to one element in particular, and come to council over that and the idea that it represents. For instance, a generation of fire may be thrown into a blazing forest, in which they will have to collectively draw on their ambition, trust, adaptability and ultimately empathy in order to make it through.

 

When an Isilioleth is assigned to their Element, they must decide upon what path their life will take than can best represent that. For this reason, there are four sects within the clan that focus on professions and skills that relate more specifically to their aligned element.

 

While an Isilioleth can come to represent any element that feature that is most prominent within their natural personalities, they will also have duties to fulfil that pertain to the challenges they have had to undergo

 

Fire; those of a more Academic and Vocal path

Earth; those of a more Militaristic and Protective lifestyle

Wind; those of Political and Economical duties

Water; those of Healing, Production and Gardening

 

Symbology & Colours

 

 

Within Isilioleth culture, a paramount importance is placed on the use of symbology and colours as a combined force, and indeed, great thought must be put into how you wish to present yourself to the world.

 

For the senses govern all, and while the Isilioleth try to place more focus into the enhancement of those senses which exist outside of the realm of sight, they understand the balance of all things, and consider colours to hold a particular importance and energy in the realm.

 

For this reason, each colour has come to represent an emotion and an effect on the world. When a child is born, the parents may adorn them in paints, a symbol of having attempted to paint a path that the colours upon them will draw out of their children.

 

Black/Gray - the symbol of unlimited potential and depth, the Isilioleth believe that the reason they have exclusively black hair is because they are born with the ability to do all things, and consider it the reason they have such a philosophical outlook on life.

 

To paint your child black, or to adorn yourself in black markings or tattoos is to attempt to draw out the potential inherent in you, and express yourself as a being of influence.

 

White/Silver - the symbol of constraint and control, it is the colour that holds all colour in a tight lock, one that defies unlimited potential. Indeed, to paint a white hand upon the door of your neighbour is to mark him with the greatest of insults.

 

It is inconceivable to willingly adorn yourself in white, and is instead a punishment in the form of a ring circled around the ankles of prisoners.

 

Yellow/Gold - the symbol of individualism, it is one of the rarest of metals to come across, and for this reason is associated with being unique.

 

Being painted gold or wearing gold is indicative or someone who considers themselves unique, or wishes to promote a charismatic personality.

 

Blue - the symbol of cleansing and purity, it is the colour of the rain and the water, something that will calm the mind and soothe the soul if allowed to. It is completely adaptable to the environment around it and offers a sensation of relaxation.

 

To adorn yourself in blue or to paint your child blue is to wish for a state free of anxiety.

 

Red - the symbol of power, the Isilioleth believe that their eyes offer a crimson colouration because their blood runs through them; a symbol of the strength of their hearts. They consider red this way because it is what all Isilioleth present through their glare- a fierce mentality.

 

To paint your child red, or to wear red is to empower yourself or indicate a warning.

 

Orange - the symbol of Ambition, as well as the Mind and Energy, it is believed that orange represents fire and its ability to both create and kill, or nurture and destroy; the same properties that exist in their minds, yet contain the same amount of energy and potential.

 

To paint your child orange or to wear orange is to attempt to bless with direction and aspire to generate more ambition in life.

 

Green - the symbol of the world around them, the home in which they live. For it is not the structures beneath the Mali’ker that are their homes, but the earth beneath their feet. It is the symbol of stability, trust and logic.

 

To paint your child green or to wear green is to become more stable, and to attempt to maintain an outlook of logic and practicality in all things.

 

Purple - the symbol of the Mind, Mystery and the Unknown, it is the colour least used, yet perhaps one of the most potent. Just as it is rare to come across the ink, it is rare to find the adornment of purple on buildings or clothing, for it is indicative of a cult or a pursuit of magic.

 

To paint your child purple or to wear purple is to become more self-aware and philosophical, or to indicate a magical affluence.

 

Note: More will be added as time (and the clan) progresses.
