A regional sect to Udoxa who focuses on the accomplishments of the revolutionaries of the Circulus, the Circuli seek to become much like the Imperators (now known as Arkheins colloquially) were millions of years ago. The Circuli are a heavily devoted sect that seek to uplift others, inspire the people to rise to protect themselves from tyrants, and dedicate themselves to good deeds in the hope to represent the fallen Imperators as they existed megaannum ago. Most have particularly noble intentions and, as a result, Circuli are widely respected by even those who might resent Udoxa, assuming they have an awareness of the sect. Although these Arkheins were not Gods in and of themselves in most cases, they are idealized as 'Disciples' of Lennox and many claim them to be capable of prophecy just as their God is— in their name, any who swear oaths to Infinity take it upon themselves to remake themselves anew and claim titles correspondent to the Disciple they idolize before leaving their temples to perform great works in the name of their God. These titles and oaths usually correspond to their soul colour, as these were what the Arkheins swore upon long ago. The bulk of Circuli, however, do not take oaths and instead attempt to do volunteer work within their communities, although some do wander as well in an effort to hamper slavers, attempt to inspire those who live in tyrannical regimes, and free, liberate, and rescue slaves from slaver states and bring them to refugee states. |

Understood widely by most to be heretics and hated by even their own God, the Insert, sometimes known as the Harbingers of Doom, are a particularly fervent sect of Lennox's faith. Although they garner very little from their worship due to their God's rejection of them, the Insert are predominantly composed of the vulnerable who have been taken into the faith.

Most reject them upon the awareness of what faith they follow, believing them to be a cult, however, they do not believe in harming others themselves, leading most to understand them to be relatively harmless. The only true ability they have garnered from their worship is the ability to predict disasters through [[Turbidius Probabilitas]], which they claim to be the result of their God, rather than the Gods whose domain it falls within. They are currently placed on a watchlist by the Udoxan government under the Udoxan Citizen Protection Act, however, and are being monitored actively due to the potential of them becoming a threat to the safety of Udoxa. |

Introduction
Though mortals know not what shall come, Infinity's keen eyes have watched all that there ever will be, ever was, and is now.
Every possibility, every finality shall be brought by their hand— they watch all that there ever could be and ensure all that ever will be.
For this reason and more, we revere them so— for they give us sight beyond sight, knowledge beyond mortal comprehension, and comfort in knowing that they shall be our guide with every step we take.
For this reason and more, we recognize them to be our God although they humbly call us their equal and command us to call them Prophet or Archon, but not God.
For this reason and more, we pray and sing in hymns in the hope that they shall lead us into a better future, for only they can witness what is to come.

As saviours of Asla'nir and of Udoxa, we idealize the Circlulus— the Arkheins are the ultimate uplifters.
Knowing that, we aspire to walk in their shoes, to uplift the world around us much as they did.
For this reason, we pray to Infinity and we swear oaths in their vast and eternal domain and we yearn to become as the Circulus did megaanum ago.
For this reason, we swear to our God and pray that they shall give us the power to deliver others from suffering, much as they had done so long ago.
For this reason, we praise no other as much as the revolutionaries that have saved our world time and time again and wish to fill their roles now that the world is absent of them and all the emptier for it.

The Circuli are a heavily devoted sect that seek to uplift others, inspire the people to rise to protect themselves from tyrants, and dedicate themselves to good deeds in the hope to represent the fallen Imperators as they existed megaannum ago.

Insert
As Infinity witnesses all things, they shall bring the best path to fruition.
As Infinity produces Finality, all things shall be brought to an end.
As Infinity purges this world with flame, stripping it of vitriol, hatred, and filth, it will be renewed.
For this reason, we herald Asla'nir's doom and we sing in hymns, for we long for the end above all else.
When the End Times come, all shall understand what sins they have wrought upon this world and they shall quake in terror as our souls are uplifted and theirs are damned for their sin.

Understood widely by most to be heretics and hated by even their own God, the Insert, sometimes known as the Harbingers of Doom, are a particularly fervent sect of Lennox's faith. Although they garner very little from their worship due to their God's rejection of them, the Insert are predominantly composed of the vulnerable who have been taken into the faith. They pray for the downfall of Asla'nir and for their God to bring the End Times upon the mortal world so as to 'cure' it of its immorality, conflicts, and disparaging nature. The Insert do not believe in anything coming afterwards after these End Times, however— they revel in nothingness, in the absence of all, in the fact that their God is the Finale, and they pray that after Asla'nir's downfall that the rest of the mortal planes shall be purged as well.
