Thinking about the Afflictions..

The Five Afflictions: A group of “monstrous” beings that haunt the dark corners of Palisade. They have been named as follows:

Dust a.k.a Pride’s Mirror a.k.a. The Looking Glass

Refrain a.k.a. Yesterday’s Reprise  a.k.a. The Ghastly Chorus

Ravel a.k.a. Labyrinth’s Thread a.k.a. The Hedge Maze 

Cleave a.k.a. Whetstone’s Opposite a.k.a. The Sanguine Hatchet 

Oversight a.k.a. Hell’s Facade a.k.a. The Empty Garden

The Five Divines that collaborated with Palisade:

Antiquity

Reflection

Logic

Decisiveness

Affection

Seems like Refrain = Antiquity, but who are the rest?

very loose guesses:

Dust a.k.a Pride’s Mirror a.k.a. The Looking Glass -> Reflection (obvious)

Refrain a.k.a. Yesterday’s Reprise  a.k.a. The Ghastly Chorus -> Antiquity

Ravel a.k.a. Labyrinth’s Thread a.k.a. The Hedge Maze -> Logic (following a thread of logic, getting lost in a maze of logic, a literal neuron in the sky)

Cleave a.k.a. Whetstone’s Opposite a.k.a. The Sanguine Hatchet -> Affection (cleave is both to cling to and to tear apart, the corruption of an affectionate relationship might look like miscommunications, crimes of passion, violence)

Oversight a.k.a. Hell’s Facade a.k.a. The Empty Garden -> Decisiveness (the illusion of choice, the illusion of confidence in a choice? i could see logic for similar reasons... or affection could work too if reading the names as references to parasocial types of affection.. but leaning towards decisiveness via process of elimination if nothing else)
