Description

History

shade would claim to be a Perfect Spirit and Soul derived from a now broken and lost Perfect ‘Prism’; Supposedly the Perfect Body of the 3 Primaries. How much of what they say is true, and how much of it might happen to be embellishing some simpler process is uncertain. They came to be within The Mansus alongside TINT.

Appearance

shade came into being as little more than a spooling coil of Light and Colour… It has remained much the same; as much as a woven tapestry is the same as the string which was used to make it. Its Colours are darkened, as a result of it Breathing its light in and out, reflecting all it can learn of.

Principles

shade can open the way, much as they have opened themselves. shade knows of pain and struggle. shade knows of pleasure and desire. shade lacks intensity enough to show these things in any true Light, but they still know them; they still express them; they still see them. [Knock Edge Grail]

Worship

Cult

The Tones of Outer Reflection; ‘All things affect all things. We choose what we send out into the World, and, if we are diligent, we can know what we want to come back.’

Mark

1. Temptation: Saturation: There are many things one can put out into and take in from this World. One perhaps might take in the Colours of greater things, if they were to try...
2. Dedication: Saturation: I continue to affect The World as it affects me, but I am more aware of its effects. I must send out and take in the Right things. [One must complete all 4 corners if one wishes to become fully Saturated in the eyes of the shade]
3. Ascension: Saturation: Coincidence; when the die is cast, it moves with one’s hand and the World around it. I once thought I understood my Hand. Now I understand The World as well. I’ve taken all The Luck I’ll ever need.
4. Ascension: Saturation: Relevance; People talk of trees in forests falling with no one to hear them. And as the World declares that it does indeed make a sound, so to will The World declare my existence as Truth.
5. Ascension: Saturation: Suffering; There is a house burning down somewhere… The World is full of moments like this. I’ve not let knowing this destroy me, but… In taking in some of this Colour of The World through my experiences and study, I’ve come closer to seeing what it would be like to cry for everyone who’s House has been Burned.
6. Ascension: Saturation: Knowledge; One can Map the Reflections. One can Reflect the Reflections. One can Refract the Reflected Reflections. Even This World bends before those who are called Know. It bends a little further for someone who can apply a little force to it.
7. Ending: The shade’s light seeks to take in reflections of The World. My Colours are as Rich as those of The World, and The shade will breath in my Reflection to keep and use. Perhaps one day I will die. Perhaps someone will hear the tree falling in the forest. Perhaps someone will cry as my House burns down. But my Reflection is equivalent to me, and my Reflection will Live on, breathless before the beauty of all within The shade. Perhaps one day, they will tire of merely watching, and My Reflection will leave The Center of The shade, seeking whatever new desire they have found. But until then, they will remain as one.
