Lennox

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.

Circuli

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.

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.

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.
- Text from the Edicts of the Doomherald, unknown page.

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. 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.

Magic Gained From Worship
Sect	Innate Magical Potential
All	Turbidus Probabilitas Almost all followers of Lennox have some degree of foresight, at a minimum. Those who pray regularly to them or follow their teachings dutifully enough have the ability to generally foresee a future possibility of what might occur in the near future, although it has a considerable chance to be only slightly correct or even entirely wrong. The more devoted an individual is to them, the further they can witness into the future and the more possibilities they can see. Although Lennox themselves reportedly can see millions of possibilities within an instant, the likes of High Priests can report seeing several thousand within an hour, with some reporting seeing upwards of a million a day. Through concentration and via rituals known for enabling greater Divination, the most devoted of Lennox's followers can see much farther into the future or even into the past or present, although these visions are generally far hazier. It is traditionally quite common for followers to be capable of casting spells via Ordo and Chao through the usage of the likes of magical focuses traditionally associated with the magic, such as playing cards, die, or tarot cards. Although these spells are oftentimes chaotic, uncontrollable, and are rarely immensely potent, more devoted followers generally have far more potent spells that arise from this magic, with their most devoted sometimes even having access to the likes of Possibilitas in producing such effects.
	Summa Substantiale Many followers of Lennox reportedly have the ability to witness souls, although the degree of soulsight is limited by experience and practice. More often than not, many of these followers have innate racial magic or practice within the field that enables them to have far better soulsight, however, newer practitioners with no innate potential can generally at least obtain first degree soulsight, if not second-degree soulsight. Those who have taken Oaths have far more considerable soulsight. Further usages of soul magic are rare, however, have been reported periodically, especially by those truly devoted to them or who have taken Oaths in their name. Rarely do these magics involve the usage of Tu, with most being capable of using Meum, such as producing pseudo-familiars, true familiars, or manipulating their own soul essences, although the degree of skill and access depends on the age of the caster and their experience. Those who enchant have noted an increased ability to make small ventures into the art of soulsmithing, with particularly talented enchanters taking to it readily.
	Viva Caelatura Access to Viva Caelatura is generally somewhat limited, however, is quite probable— many have found themselves capable of casting the likes of weaker, usually non-harmful spells known as cantrips, casting smaller spells via Futhark or Glyphe, or enhancing their pre-existing Viva Caelatura. Most, however, who gain access to Viva Caelatura generally utilise Statuaria or Crudus. As with all other forms of faith magic, the amount of potency depends upon skill, age, and devotion. Enchanters have reported having access to being able to mix magics together slightly better and the ability to imbue Turbidus Probabilitas into items, something generally difficult for most to do. Some particularly devoted followers have found that they can merge Viva Caelatura with Turbidus Probabilitas to create more effective, versatile, and even slightly controllable magic at the cost of it oftentimes becoming difficult or even harmful for the caster to work with. Further research on the nature of this has yet to be conducted, however, it has yet to be found outside of Lennox's faith or without extensive practice.
