Path of Wordsmithing
"Chaos is an ink, which can rewrite the story of the world."


As of recently, the word of a philosophy of life has been spreading by Unit: Su-Zan.

It is an ideal, a continuity of an ambitious dream that lives on through Su-Zan, and is now spreading to the world.

Pioneered by the misled martyr Catildre, and born from within the heart of the beloved Melidoyla, it is a simple, yet infinitely ambitious goal:

To rewrite the world into a place with less tragedies and make the world a better place.

In this movement, both Catildre or Melidoyla are NOT seen as deities to be worshipped.


It is instead a philosophy born from the initial intention of Catildre, and separating it from the grief and despair which befell her. The belief that the world could be improved and that tragedy and sufferings could be lessened.


Why Chaos?

Chaos is not what most people think. Chaos is not Entropy. Chaos, even if born from evil intentions, is not evil in nature. Unlike Occultism which is and always will be destructive and corrupting, Chaos is no such thing.

Chaos is an ink, that allows someone to rewrite the world. Initially, it was put forth by Ba'al in an attempt to destabilize creation, and to rebel against it. Chaos was unleashed as a tool that could rewrite the rules of creation and reality itself.

Is is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, due to its unbound potential. But those who walks the Path of Wordsmithing believes that Chaos can lead to good things under the right hands. They understand that it is a force, and that the fault lies on those who seek to wield it to harm and not on Chaos itself.


Who are the Wordsmiths?

The Wordsmiths are those who wields Chaos for the force of good, while being mindful of Balance and Harmony. They are the chosen few who are trusted with such power and responsibility, and even then they are never to use its power carelessly. The wordsmiths intends to work alongside the Church of Harmony and many other figures as to ensure that this power shall never be pushed too far.

The Wordsmiths do not work alone. They are supported and enabled by "Those who dare to dream", or also referenced as "Dreamers." People who aren't afraid to believe that a better world is possible. People who defies the cruelty and imperfections of the world to stand above it, despite the odds. They often do not wield Chaos themselves, and are there to support the efforts and ideals of the movement. Anyone who seeks to see the world become a better place are encouraged to join and help as they can.

"People of Meranthe. I understand that many of you sees Chaos as a troublesome force. But it is time that we separate the force from its conduits. Catildre's madness was born from tragedy, long before Chaos touched her. Libertato's delusions were within him long before Chaos as well."

"The Orphan which fell onto the world recently was also not evil in nature. I could feel its sorrow, and it is up to us as to make it feel accepted, and to give it a chance to do good in this world."

"I am Unit: Su-Zan, first Wordsmith and Scion of Chaos. I vow to you all, that through me, you will see that the world can be made a better place thanks to a touch of Chaos. But I can't do this alone."

"I am looking for people who aren't afraid to dream. To believe in a better world. To make things better, against the odds. Nothing worth doing can be accomplished alone, and I need your help."

"So with this, I formally open the Path of Wordsmithing, and invite you all to write the story of a better world with me."

Along with this message, an official and widespread description of the order was offered to any and all, easily obtained by anyone curious.

Patron

 None. Catildre is seen as a Holy Martyr, and could be seen as the source of the Faith, but she is not seen as a Patron Deity. Chaos is the main fuel of this movement and the source of its holy power. It is more seen as a primordial force which lacks a true representative currently, a child orphaned by Ba'al, who is the enemy of the Wordsmiths.

"Religious" Head

The leading figure of the movement is known as the "Scion of Chaos." This title represent a budding sprout, which is fed by the hopes of the dreamers as to blossom onto the world and make it a better place. A successor of Chaos as to bring it away from its initial origins and use it for good.

The current Scion of Chaos is Unit: Su-Zan.

Supporting the Scion of Chaos are the Wordsmiths, channelers of Chaos at a lesser degree who aids the Scion to channel the necessary Chaos and energy to manifest the changes to a better world.

And aiding the Wordsmiths, the dreamers. People who desire to see a better world, but perhaps does not feel as committed to the cause or to Chaos itself. They are encouraged to spread the ideology and spread positivity. They too are a vital part of the Path, as only through teamwork can a world change.

Description

The Path of Wordsmithing is the embrace of Chaos, and instead of wielding it directly it is more about using it as a wind, and instead adjusting oneself's inner sails as to ride its force. It is the appreciation of it being a part of everything, and an understanding that it is not an enemy of Order, but rather the other side of its coin, which both work together for Harmony. They seek to, through Chaos, rewrite the world into a better place.

Rituals

- Chaos Attunement: Prayers does not work like most religious movement for the Path of Wordsmithing. Instead of using words, one's senses is instead attuned to Chaos through the touch of a Wordsmith. An instinctual understanding of it is then found, which leads to heightened primal understanding of the unexpected.

- A Story Rewritten: A powerful and secret ritual devised by Unit: Su-Zan. Rumours are that through this method, fate itself can be changed. Many debate the validity of such rumours, but the Scion of Chaos seems certain of its validity.

- Binding Dance: Through an intricate and instinctual dance, infused with a bit of Chaos, two souls can be tied through Chaos as to ensure that they will always find their way to one another. This however is under the whims of Chaos, and those reunions are never planned nor willed. But it is believed by the Wordsmiths that such bonds lives on even through the lifestream, and after rebirth.

(Those are only the rituals made public. I have already planned and written more. Find out IC, etc etc.)

Vows

- Keep things and people of value close at hand. The world holds many positive things, and the appreciation of which makes it beautiful and of what already exists is of uttermost importance.

- Carry with you a book of tales. Within it, write things that reminds yourself of the good of the world. A precious tome that will be close to your heart, as to never forget whichever has made you smile. This book will be passed on to a friend or offspring onto death, as to carry on precious memories and encourage a positive outlook on life. This is a very personal endeavour, and can be done any which way and manner. There is no wrong way to write, so long as it is under a positive light.

- Never wield Chaos for evil or selfish reasons. Chaos is not a tool, Chaos is not something to be toyed with. Its usage should always be mindful, and done from a place of caring.

- Aim to make the world a better place. Making others smile and reducing the tragedies of the world is the core tenet of this Path. Resisting the hold of despair and madness is imperative.

- Uphold Harmony and Order. Chaos is in a dance with Order, not a war. Together, they create Harmony.

- Never isolate yourself. Support is important. One does not need to be constantly surrounded, but everyone needs at least a few reliable pillars of friendship to rely on, as to keep despair at bay.
