[Clan Jusmia] Sect Zircon

[ThatFunkyBunch 2818]

CLAN JUSMIA
⋟⊶⊷⋞〄⋟⊶⊷⋞
SECT ZIRCON
⋟⊶⊷⋞〄⋟⊶⊷⋞

Zircon was the fifth and final child of Jus and Mia. A slender Mali’ker that saw the world through the eyes of a jaded scholar. Those of his sect in the ancient days believed him the reincarnation of the first Wau’ner. The elven family Jus and Mia came from. Sent forth to ensure Jusmia remained no matter what. Zircon sought understanding of the material world, its building blocks. Creation. Understanding the Aenguldaemons which war in the stars above. Zircon became enthralled with the spirits for once reason alone. The pact between shaman and spirit served both sides, these spirits changed with the mortals, and their reward was a true paradise where stagnation was killed in the fires of the realms of Stargush’Stroh. Zircon sought the might to ensure his kin would ever go forward. His ideals often crashed with his eldest brother, Agate. The two rarely agreed on much. 

It was Zircons use of blood which drove Agate against him in the end. During the fall of Magara’lin, Garnet was slain. Both Sects Zircon and Garnet watched as Zircon used the corpse of Garnet to fuel the arcane machinations of the caster in the final moments of Magara’lin, which grew hostility and paranoia between the rest of the clan and Zircon.

Sect Zircons’ Function in Jusmia
⋟⊶⊷⋞〄⋟⊶⊷⋞

Sect  Zircon is the first and last line of defense of Jusmia. These Jusmia are tasked with the documentation of otherworldly magics, their effects, how to counteract them, and understanding of their nature. Those of Zircon find themselves in a state of near constant travel. Zircon plays with fire, undertaking tasks that the rest of the clan simply refuses to or entrust of Zircon. The knowledge gathered by Zircon of the world around them is returned constantly to the rest of the clan. Zircon itself retains strange and eldritch rituals which they invoke to prepare the clan for the threats beyond the veil. Zircon tetters the fine line of morality. As their work often requires them to undertake horrific tasks which go against the ideals of Jusmia. For this, upon returning from such heretical missions. Those of Zircon perform near constant worship and praise of the spirits in their downtime to ensure their entrance of Stargush’Stroh. To those of Zircon, words like defeat, victory, honor, dishonor mean little. There is but one truth to the world. Survival. 

 

Those of Zircon are to make elven weekly reports of their travels and interactions to the Head of Sect Zircon, which then issues these reports to the Head of Sect Ruby

Sect Zircons’ Ideology & Spiritual Theorem.
⋟⊶⊷⋞〄⋟⊶⊷⋞
Sect Zircon recognizes the right of other worldly beings to exist. It is vital to the balance of the world. But to them, the spirits hold true as the rightful lords of the material world. For only they are shaped by its actions as taught by Carnelian. Azdrazi, Paladins, Druids, are eldritch but required pieces in the mortal coil, and Zircon may often implore favours with these beings to achieve their own ends. That of the void is carefully watched, as it historically has caused the most damage. Further, those of Zircon believe it vital to keep their fingers close to the pulse of shamans. As shamans which seek to create a second cataclysm of the level seen during the Orgonic Plague surely remain out there. Zircon can not condone the use of manipulating of the soul stream. That which is divine ought not be interfered upon. Yet these beings of divinity ought never seek true control of the material world. Their place is beyond the veil, as the Creator intended.

Modern members of Zircon reband to create strife with the being known as Ixili. Traveling far and wide to hunt this creature and put an end to it.
