Thoughts on the lore

After reading some of the Touchstarved fandom’s headcanons and in-depth analysis( y’all make really good points ngl) I wanted to dump these long thoughts out:

The founding of Senobium and Kuras:

I think shortly after Kuras was being exiled from the heavens and came to Eridia. He met a few scholarly mortals that initially shared the same ideals and beliefs with himself. With that being said, Kuras opened up and  has shared lots of things about himself / the forbidden knowledge and all of them decided to establish the Senobium together.

But the characteristics of human nature runs deep among mortals, which caused a difference between Kuras’ and those co-founders of Senobium, resulting in a severe conflict and lead to their betrayal to Kuras. Yet, since they hold so much information, they have the advantage of using them to (sort of-) threaten/ blackmail Kuras for something ( and that potentially explains why Kuras became less open to others in the game) so he would still have to work for the senobium. 

The origin of word Senobium:

I did some research and found out there’s a similar word to Senobium, which is Cenobium ( source from google):

cenobium

/səˈnəʊbɪəm/

noun

noun: cenobium; plural noun: cenobia; noun: coenobium; plural noun: coenobia

a monastery."many pilgrims flocked to the cenobium in search of the monk"

in the game, Senobium is known by MC for people flocking there to in search of knowledge, hence there should be a correlation between the background of senobium and Cenobium’s word meaning - where the place Senobium is derived and inspired by the word "Cenobium".

Extension from previous thoughts:

I recall reading a post from a Tumblr user that briefly mentioned the Abbess from Vere’s route, suggesting that it could be linked to the senobium. The word abbess (from google again) means:

a woman who is the head of an abbey of nuns."she's the abbess of the Abbey, the Mother Superior to twenty-three nuns"

Based on the original word meaning of Cenobium - a monastery, and the Abbess meaning the head nun that oversees the rest of the party. Could she be linked to Kuras or authoritative figures that founded the senobium, did she do something that makes Eridia the place it is now? Bc to me, I believe the words and their meaning behind are chosen accordingly to the lore.
