Ach’magut

2021-11-05T22:31:07Z

Occo:

==Description==
'''Ach'magut The Overseer''' is one of the [[Elders|Great Elders]] in the [[Elder Empire]] series. Ach'magut is described as a "''writhing, pulsing, squirming mass of limbs, eyes, tendrils, ears, and appendages without name and without number.''"

==Personality==
As a Great Elder Ach'magut does not have a personality that can be compared to humankind, however like all the Great Elders, Ach'magut does posses a set of goals:

#To be free of the prison world [[Asylum]]
#To seek knowledge above everything, at any cost

Because of this Ach'magut does not necessarily want the malicious destruction of humankind. [[The Emperor]] actually learned [[Reading]] in [[Ach'magut's Library]] and organizations such as [[The Sleepless]] view him, along with [[Kelarac]], as one of the best hopes for human and non-human interaction. However, above everything else Ach'magut simply wants to learn and then to move on. Whether humans survive or not is completely irrelevant.

The Emperor also describes him in the following: "''In a way, the human world is his creation more than my own. He spared my life, gave me the education I needed to advance Reading and build an empire. He's not a destroyer, he's a parasite. He leaches onto a world until he's learned everything he can, and then he moves on. But he's not above taking something apart to see how it works.''"

He as also been known to allow deviations from his plans as long as it means that he can learn more from the deviation.

==Powers & Abilities==
Ach'magut possesses all the powers and abilities that are common of the Great Elders. This includes an absolute mastery of [[Intent]] and a presence that could easily corrupt the minds of humans that go near him, as well as commanding an army of [[Elder Spawn]] to further his goals. However, Ach'mugut's powers are reduced substantially while he is trapped on Asylum. Despite this handicap he is still far beyond the abilities of most humans.

===Near Omniscience===
Ach'magut is a Great Elder with authority over knowledge, as such his intelligence is beyond the humans on Asylum. Even The Emperor himself cannot match Ach'magut in a battle of wits. He has also demonstrated the ability to predict events far in the future as well as concoct plans that span millennia.

===Immortality===
It is virtually impossible to permanently kill a Great Elder such as Ach'magut. His body has been destroyed a few times, but given enough time he will always reform.

===Knowledge Bestowal===
When Ach'magut speaks, the full meaning and nuance of his words is directly sent to the receivers mind. Most of his sentences only span a few words, but each word essentially has the meaning of an entire speech. 

==Quotes==
<blockquote>''"CHANGE COMES FROM DEVIATION. UNDERSTANDING COMES FROM CHANGE. DEVIANCE CANNOT BE PREDICTED"''</blockquote><blockquote>''"I AM NOT THARLOS. WHAT I WANT IS NOT CHANGE FOR ITS OWN SAKE. I WANT THE FUTURE."''</blockquote><blockquote>''"HAIL THE EMPEROR OF THE WORLD."''</blockquote>

Elders

2021-11-05T22:30:06Z

Occo:

{{EE Navbox}}
The Elders are [[Chaos fiends|Fiends of Chaos]], they were never human but gained the ability to interact with the world in a way we recognize as intelligent from humanity. Their power rivals that of the [[Abidan|Abidan Judges]] and just as the Abidan manipulate [[The Way and The Worlds|The Way]] the Elders are suspected of manipulation of Chaos.

Asylum is practically a holding cell to imprison the Elders. If they get out, they're scary. The [[Abidan]] originally intended to use it temporarily til the Elders fully corrupted it so that [[Ozriel]] could destroy it. Which wouldn't kill the Elders, but would drive them back into the void. So it was really just keeping them off the streets for a while. Then [[the Emperor]] came along, and humanity has prospered beyond what the [[Abidan]] ever expected. That tethers the world more strongly to the Way and strengthens the prison, weakening the Elders. So Asylum has held on much longer than anyone anticipated.

The Elders, don't want to be trapped there OR cast back into the void. They want to escape into other Iterations, which is exactly what the Abidan don't want. Back in the day, the Elders could have depopulated humanity. They didn't; they kept just enough alive to make sure the Abidan wouldn't obliterate the place while the Elders looked for a way out.

Asylum is a protected world to ensure the Elders don't escape due to Corruption of the iteration. This is also why the Emperor has not been offered Ascension though he clearly meets the power requirements. The planet is effectively sealed off.

The Elders each have a specific nature and each of the Elders usually act according to that nature. When they were free this usually meant that they stayed out of each other's way, but while they are trapped on Asylum, this can mean that they sometimes come into conflict with each other, such as with Othaghor and Kthanikahr.

The 7 Great Elders imprisoned on Asylum are :

*[[Nakothi]], The Dead Mother
*[[Othaghor]], The Hordefather
*[[Kelarac]], The Soul Collector
*[[Ach’magut]], The Overseer
*[[Urg’naut]], The Creeping Shadow
*[[Tharlos]], The Formless Legion
*[[Kthanikahr]], The Worm Lord

Path of Celestial Radiance

2021-06-13T13:09:18Z

Occo: Edited lead-in.

{{Cradle NavBox}}

The '''Path of Celestial Radiance''' is a [[royal madra]] Path practiced by the Sha family, rulers of the [[Ninecloud Court]]. As royal madra is a [[Bloodline Abilities|bloodline ability]], this Path cannot be practiced by those outside of the family.

==Techniques==

===Striker===

*[Name Unknown]
**Sha Miara demonstrates the ability to fill constructs and take over techniques with royal madra then command them to obey her will.

===Enforcer===

*[Unknown]

===Ruler===

*This path uses [[Royal Madra]], and as such any control over aura is as a result of [[soulfire]].

===Forger===

*Absolute Decree
**A net a rainbow light. This technique is meant to sink through the skin and restrict an opponent's spirit, subjecting the opponent to the user's control.
*Nine-Light Mirror
**A forged circle of Royal Madra. This can reflect techniques back a those who cast them.

===Miscellaneous===

*Heaven's Wish
**A closely guarded secret, this technique allows the practitioner to pass on their spirit to another. It allows for the near-total transfer of power and skill to an heir, though some knowledge is still lost.
***All Nine Cloud Monarchs are able to feel the instincts and wisdom of the Monarchs who came before.
<blockquote>''"Miara’s mother, Sha Leiala, ruled over the Ninecloud people for two hundred years. Only three years prior to the eighteenth Uncrowned King tournament, she did battle with a host of powerful plague-spirits born beneath a disaster area in her country. Though she was victorious, her lifeline was damaged, and she was forced to pass on her inheritance years earlier than she planned. Thus did Sha Miara, a girl of only twelve, inherit a Monarch’s power."''<ref>Uncrowned, Chapter 9</ref></blockquote>

==Cycling Techniques==

*No known Cycling Techniques

==Iron Body==

*Practitioners of the Path of Celestial Radiance use the '''Moonheart Iron body'''. This Iron body was developed in a country neighboring Ninecloud. It toughens the body and allows for impressive physical feats, but its main feature is to prevent physical trauma from affecting mental and spiritual control. At the highest level, it separates consciousness from flesh.

'''The Bleeding Phoenix''' is one of Cradle's four [[Dreadgods]], a crimson [[Sacred Beasts|phoenix]] with wings large enough to stretch across the horizon.<ref name="Skysworn 16">[[Summary:Skysworn#Chapter 16|''Skysworn'', Chapter 16]]</ref> It is worshipped by the cult of [[Redmoon Hall]], and was the first of the Dreadgod to awaken during the events of the [[Cradle|''Cradle'' series]].<ref>[[Summary:Skysworn#Chapter 12|''Skysworn'', Chapter 12]]</ref>

==Description==
<blockquote>''"It was so large as to defy description, swallowing half the sky and stretching into the clouds.

Its beak was curved like a scythe and razor-sharp, and its eyes were shapeless masses of white-hot power."'' <ref name="Skysworn 16" /></blockquote>

Akura Clan

2021-05-22T18:51:47Z

Occo: /* Vassals */ Frozen Blade Sect -> Frozen Blade School

{{Cradle NavBox}}
The Akura family is a Monarch faction which rules over almost half a continent, led by Akura Malice.

==Sacred Arts==
All [[Akura Paths]], to current knowledge, are of the shadow aspect. However, they can have others as well.

The head family is distinguished by their [[Path of Seven Pages]]. Branch families follow other shadow Paths.

The Akura bloodline ability is a purple crystal armor, and all of Malice's blood descendants have purple eyes.

==Relations and Territory==
The Akura have relationships with many other factions all over the world, being a Monarch faction. They are widely respected and are not opposed lightly.

Their territory stretches to half a continent, and is partially controlled by their [[Akura Family#Vassals|vassals]].

They share the continent with [[Seshethkunaaz]], Monarch of Dragons. They are 'vigilant' against the non-human factions, as those are not places human civilisation can flourish, and believe it would be a 'loss to humanity as a whole' if they were to lose territory.

==Vassals==
The Akura have four vassals that we know of, with the stronger ones being the [[Frozen Blade School]] and the [[Emple of Rising Earth|Temple of Rising Earth]], and the weaker ones being the the [[Blackflame Empire]] and [[Seishen Kingdom]].

Shortly After being brutally rejected by Lindon, Seishen Daji betrays the Akura family and Grace is teleported away by the Sage of Red Faith with some of her other team members. As Akura Grace and her other team members flee up the stairs they are met with an ambush. Akura Grace dies on the stairs pinned to the wall by a forged spear, her hand still clutching her sword, heart shattered by the realization that Lindon was a mere 30 feet away and had decided he would rather let her die than marry her.

Although Lindon was only a short distance away snacking on a blood-shadow, he did not reach Akura Grace until after she had already died.

2021-05-18T17:23:35Z

Occo: /* Known aspects */ Removed an unneeded -

{{Cradle NavBox}}
Madra is the energy produced and residing in one's core. Life, blood, and dream aura generated by one's body are initially converted into pure madra, but as vital aura is gathered and integrated into the core, it takes on the aspects of that aura, and the corresponding madra is produced instead. Once cultivated, madra can be used to fuel and empower a multitude of techniques as well as one's own body. As one advances, their madra becomes more potent and more dense, allowing them to do more with less.

The core resides in the center of one's spirit, placed just below the navel, and madra channels loop throughout the body, to and from the core. Replenishing and expanding the madra pool of a core is done through Cycling, Drawing in vital aura of the same aspect, or through the use of elixirs and pills.

The '''Path of the Broken Star''' was the predecessor to the [[Jai Clan|Jai clan''s]] [[Path of the Stellar Spear]]. According to [[Eithan Arelius|Eithan]] it is highly potent, but difficult to apply in real-world situations and demands high amounts of [[madra]] control. It can only be trained in a single city which the Jai clan are no longer able to access.<ref name="BF 9">[[Summary:Blackflame#Chapter 9|''Blackflame'', Chapter 9]]</ref>

==The tournament in Uncrowned==

===First Round===

===Second Round===

===Third Round===

===Fourth Round (Top 16)===
Since there were exactly 16 participants remaining, Northstrider decided that the fourth round will be in the format of single-elimination matches, with the opponents selected by Northstrider himself:

#Ziel vs Therian Nills
#Eithan Arelius vs Yan Shoumei
#Yerin Arelius vs Akura Mercy
#Wei Shi Lindon Arelius vs Sopharanatoth

Only the first match of the round has taken place so far, with [[Wei Shi Lindon|Lindon]] facing [[Yerin Arelius|Yerin]] instead of [[Sopharanatoth|Sophara]], after Northstrider surprised them by switching opponents.

The match ends with Lindon losing, after Yerin had successfully achieved a reflection of the [[Sword Icon]] in their final clash of techniques.

===Abidan intervention===
After the [[Mad King]] acquired the false Scythe from the [[Iri|Angler]], the [[Abidan]] intervened directly with Cradle and other Iterations in order to promote recruitment into their ranks.

In Cradle, the intervention took place immediately after the match between Lindon and Yerin.

All of the tournament participants and Monarch factions were teleported to the arena, and the spectators were teleported out.

Kiuran of the Hounds appeared before them all, encouraging the young participants not follow their Monarch ancestors and choose to ascend when their time comes.

He also introduced a new grand prize for the winner: [[Penance]], a legendary weapon forged by the founder of [[House Arelius]], [[Ozriel]].
