[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 5122437, member: 4303"] Actually, Cheiro's pretty much on the money. When Despina made her original plea, I had no idea at that point whether it was genuine or a subterfuge. It was Nwm's intervention with Nehael which shifted the notion of the cosmology from static to dynamic and made a number of religious syncretisms possible (and necessary); or revealed them as already existing. There is a danger of overidentifying the Viridity with the Tree; Viridity is much bigger, Tree is merely the vehicle which Nehael "chose" because of her particular attachment to it. The Viridity is fundamentally concerned with the irrepressibility of life; really it is only after it becomes established, that death is transcended wholesale. Nwm's (overtly political) killing and subsequent resurrection of Tramst demonstrates this best; Marc (Eadric's player) mentioned that he felt much more comfortable about Eadric dying after the [I]Sela[/I] already had. Nehael is construed as [I]Faheth[/I] (Supreme Empathy) in the Urgic-Oronthonian worldview, one of the three qualities of the "Consciousness-Form" of Oronthon, or the Mind of God - the others being [I]Sela[/I] (Perfect Gnostic Intellect) and [I]Saizhan[/I] itself (Unclouded Apprehension). There is actually some further explanation (obfuscation?) pending in the next post, but time has been hard to find recently. I'll try to get it out before Passover/Eostre. [/QUOTE]
