Verities

The verities are aspects and truths that can define the capabilities of Celestials, the characteristics of a person, and the properties of an item or event. There are twelve main verities, one forgotten one and one created by the wonderful @mimi-creates.

Basilia

"Salt and silver; nectar and poison; fuel and ash; scalpel and thread; illumination and madness. Balance, necessity, rebuke. The truths, conflicting as they are, are all governed by the night."

The verity known as Basilia may not have been the first truth, but its still all-encompassing still governs all universal truths. It is the law that brings the night, the law of balance and travel, of unity and connection, of all-consuming diseases.

Limina

"The key shapes gates and shatters doors. With the right key, anything can become a door, for every lock seeks its key, and every wall seeks its door, but what they've kept within must remain hidden."

The secret truth that reveals itself to those who find their way beyond the lock. It often draws power from the verity of division to open its doors. This verity was once the other mother of felines.

Doors, locks and keys

Openings

Cats

Voluptra

"The boundaries between flesh, breath, and pleasure are equally contingent. There is no hunger without beauty, and there is no pleasure without pain."

The verity of the body, of desire, blood, seduction, birth, and thirst. Its truth is so pleasant upon the ear. One could listen over and over. These are the words that make sacrifice sweet. There exist some pleasures intense enough to corrupt the laws of the physical world.

Related:

Sensations, pleasure

Hunger, thirst

Blood, sweetness like nectar

Irresistible charm and seduction

Birth and drowning

Mosquitoes, leeches

Obumbra

"Feathers and silver, glass, and talons alike - all bringers of conflict and all conflicts are fought at the edge. All truths are defined by their opposition to other truths, just as we are defined by the battles we choose."

The forbidden truth, words of torment and destruction, bird-cries, and talon-wounds. This verity conceals its nature with many names and masks, but its skin is never its own.

Related:

Conquest, battle

Assassination, violence

Edges and knives

Shadows

Masks, costumes, wearing others' skin

Duality born from division and not permitting union

Silver and smoke

Birds

Chrysa

"In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni. Hive, nest, and chrysalis are all elements of the lower world. Two of these three know the sweetness of fire. The third, restless in its pursuit for change, forsakes what it no longer needs."

Chrysa holds the truth of whimsy and chaos. It governs the fervent chase of our desires and the shedding of unnecessary things. The creatures that abide its word are drawn to the thickest woods and the darkest nights.

Related:

Lighthouses

Moths and other insects

Shedding, change, metamorphosis

Barbers and hair

Restlessness, fervor, obsession

Praenitea

"A paradox of illumination. Light reveals, but light can also blind. Even the most mundane knowledge can become a weapon in the hands of the mad. Even the most dangerous knowledge can be rendered useless in the hands of the ignorant."

The corrosive truth of the verity that corrupts, the light that blinds the mind.

Related:

Delirium, delusions, madness

Devotion

Centipedes

Triquetrobora

"Nature's first lesson: look up. What starts as weather ends in soil, what starts with breath ends in the world. Nature's second lesson: look down. Know your thorns. Know your poisons. There's no point thinking about tomorrow when one doesn't expect to live through today."

Triquetrobora holds the truth that weaves life and death in one inseparable thread. It is the verity of nature, of binding, of eternity.

Related:

Nature

Life and death

Nectars, poison

Eternity

Serpents

Alacrifila

"The depths of the sea, the waves upon the shore, their relentless symphony echoes in birdsong, in dance, and in the joints of sailors. Joyous, the heart beats to the rhythm to preserve the skin of the world we know."

Alacrifila dictates the rhythm of the song that gives the heart life. It is an unstoppable truth that vitalizes the rest. In turn, some verities have woven their influence to protect it. Triquetrobora would be its most fierce guard.

Music, dance, drums, string instruments

Happiness

Life and death as separate events

Sea and sailing, sea life, sirens

Azotherea

"Flame and sulfur, flesh, and mercury. What has been broken can be reformed. What has never been broken must be reformed."

Azotherea is the verity of the fire that both changes and consumes. Its work powers the inner mechanisms of the world, but every flame demands fuel.

Fire and power

Smithing, blacksmiths

Factories

Clockwork and mechanics

Steampunk basically

Chemistry

Salamanders

Lapida

"Sky, stars, bone, soul, and gemstone - all these things can, have, and must be, shattered. What is whole can be broken. What is mended must be broken."

The truth of separation and misconception, the words that divide.

Related:

Separation, amputation

Miscommunication

Bats

Gemstones

Caves

Shastra

"Death alters, snow endures. Memory dies, silence outlives. At times, light persists, but no fire lasts without fuel."

Certain knowledge can be expressed only through the particular quality of silence. Otherwise, the lips crisp with frost, and their meaning falters.

Related:

Winter, snow, cold

Silence, emptiness

Memory, forgetting

Endings

Hunting

Canines

Inlustra

"The stars are wisdom, and the night is their parchment, and the dawn is ignorance. There might come a day when the dawn is gone once more, for mercy is found only at dark."

Inlustra is the truth brought from the light of the Compass that leads both the willing and the unwilling. Its purpose is to enlighten and to document.

INTRODUCTION - 2

“Lights out! Time for grub.” 

A collective sigh of relief came out of the performers, who scattered like isopods under a lifted rock after the call. The beastmaster locked up the performance lusii, the strongtroll put back her weights and the various lowbloods and mutants that manned the theatricals pulled down the floodlights to turn them off. Overall, a strong performance, even though it was just rehearsals. 

Everyone retired to their blocks in the back of the colorful tent, including the Ringleader, who had a long day of directing the show and “correcting” eventual steppings out of line. Retiring in her luxurious chamber, she lit her hookah with a match, and took a quick puff, kicking her legs up and turning her machine on, to have a quick read at the news on the Imperium’s side, and organize the finances of the Cirque.

Wonder when something interesting’s going to happen...

Below the Stairs

[guillasimo]

Not quite liminal yet still has a feeling of unknown. Of late I have been on hiatus in lieu of general sensory expression being rather plain. I feel myself doing more, yet processing less. I don't know if I particularly enjoy this, however there are nice moments here. The action speaks to me currently and my thoughts are too much. For now I have to live distractedly, to keep the swarm at bay. This introduction to this summer is different from all I've known.

Uusi tieteellinen UFO-tutkimusjulkaisu: Limina

Monien työtuntien jälkeen — omistautuneelta toimittajien ja tarkastajien tiimiltämme sekä kirjoittajilta, jotka tekivät kanssamme yhteistyötä tuottaakseen lopulliset kameravalmiit käsikirjoitukset julkaisua varten — meillä on ilo ilmoittaa, että Society for UAP Studies on julkaissut Limina – The Journal of UAP Studies -julkaisun avausnumeron. Tämä on tärkeä tapahtuma yhä kasvavalle tiedeyhteisölle, ja olemme ylpeitä voidessamme tehdä tämän […] https://eksopolitiikka.fi/tiede/uusi-tieteellinen-ufo-tutkimusjulkaisu-limina/

The unknown bonds formed through a blade of light

[currentfandomkick]

Fan concept to incorporate however you want:

In comics i’m pretty sure there’s a lazarus pit in the batcave, and others in gotham. A high concentration of lazarus water per square foot. Add to that gotham’s various contaminated waters from various toxins and gases on top of usual run offs, and there’s a high chance everyone in gotham is contaminated by all of this.

Add in the popular head cannons and partial fanon of lazarus water = (in some form) contaminated or corrupted watery ectoplasm.

And if we go ecto contaminated enough = liminal…

Then gotham city is full of liminals, the most notorious being a handful revenants with questionable cores (Solomon Grundy and Red Hood off the top of my head), with Damian’s Robin a liminal bordering on halfa if you go the ‘raised next to and put in the Pitts’ route.

Hell if you want, most of the Batfam can be partially ecto contaminated if not liminal (minus Duke, i feel like he’s the only starting to) but no one notices because its gradual and they assume its side effects from the 10,000 + polluntants in gotham.

You can have anyone from Amity Park enter Gotham and go ‘huh, edgy aesthetic Amity.’ Then go ‘oh, sick liminal… which dork back home knows how to fix this?’

If you want Tucker can be sending Sam updates on Gotham’s liminals (including Rogues) which Sam is helping the ecto terrorist (League of Assassins in a lot of older portrayals) and Danny vibing working for (DC bigshot or group of your choice) as an engineer who says he’s bad at coding when no one has broken his code yet as ‘its standard back home’ and baffles his employer

Dani can see Gotham and just. Vibe as a feral child who tries to help the other sick liminals with mixed results. I say let Harley snag her as her sidekick during her anti-villian days.

Jazz can be attending university and has to explain drinking filtered ecto to her dorm, only for a lot of them to start managing things better emotionally and combat wise, but now have the urge to Kick Ass as a way to Make Friends. Batfam investigate her a s a cult leader when really all she’s doing is using a clean ecto filter and teaching her classmates to do the same. Even teaches them how to make them thanks to Danny breaking down his rigs to her and leaving her repair instructions in case hers breaks early.

If you go baby Ghost King Danny, he can find out about Gotham and do a ‘oh, a fucked up version of Amity Park. Neat!’ see the Joker and go ‘Fuck this guy,’ and appear by pulling Joker into the ghost realm for his trial with a note that reads “sorry for missing another Liminal City. I’ll do better as king and handle those breaking Ghost Ettiquette myself. My bad. Still new to the ‘King of the Infinite Realms and all bonded to it. So liminals fall in, didn’t think there were more besides Amity. A branch of the Council of Observers will be sent to evaluate which liminals are sick, which are dealing with unsustainable or harmful obsessions, which liminals need relocation to handle their obsession in a better suited environment, and which ones are uneducated on liminal health.

Don’t worry, I stole some time to make sure i did all the paperwork before taking this guy. He’s the type of ecto entity who consumes attention, fear, and souls, which is Pretty Bad and that last one is an auto-execution. So i should manage the normal ‘visiting of the realms and introduction to’ spiel after we can make sure you won’t be in danger from ghosts that forget mortals dont shrug off being dropped off a few cliffs and having a two ton rock dropped on them. I may send some ambassadors from Amity to help you adjust since it was a pain for us too. Fyi if anyone tries summoning the Ghost King and expects Pariah, i win by conquest ten years ago and only JUST got to looking into liminal areas. With cheating by stealing time. If you have any questions, look up the Manson family, Amity Park, Ohio. Sam can explain better than me, and her parents somehow ended up on the mortal side counsel.

Limina what's your fav season?

Hmmm.... I'd say springtime. A lot more trolls show up at the Circus Act, it's not too cold or warm... And lots of lusii come out of hiding from hybernation. Perfect time to get them for the Act.
