The Order of Esochaia

In my WIP Strange Magic, most witches follow the faith of the Order of Esochaia, an ancient religion originating in the Southeastern Mediterranean about three thousand years ago. The Order falls under a more general collection of faiths including Paganism and Wicca, called the Paragon Sect. 

The Council of Elders based in Crete governs the Order. The Council is compromised of thirteen witches and warlocks. When the positions were created three thousand years ago, they were voted upon. Nowadays, current Council members vote on new ones themselves. The Elders judge trials, make decisions on how witches shall interact with the mortal world, and create laws. 

Witches part of the Order live by the Codex Paradosa, a book of ancient writings composed by the original witches on the island of Phesyra. 

The Order believes in the Eight Gods: 

Caelum, the god of the sky, storms, marriage, the sun, and victory.

Hekate, the goddess of prophecy, the night, magic, crossroads, and necromancy.

Mortisal, the god of the Under, death, winter, poetry, and secrets.

Anguisa, the goddess of serpents, inspiration, fertility, trade, courage, and dawn.

Patan, the god of the earth, faeries, spring, the truth, and justice.

Aquaedamae, the goddess of oceans, the moon, medicine, music, and earthquakes.

Sapti, the god of cleverness, good luck, ritual, the stars, and mountains.

Ignisia, the goddess of fire, dreams, invention, passion, and agriculture.

At the age of twelve, each witch or warlock will be claimed by one of the gods and be initiated into their respective Circles. During this time, most witches attend an academy to learn and improve their magical abilities. 

Members of the Order believe that there are quite a few possible options for what happens when a witch dies. Some will become ghosts, the most distinguished will be taken into the Heavens to serve Caelum as an angel, the worst will descend into Hell, others will rest and/or party in the Under for eternity, and the forgotten will be absorbed into the Shadow Realm. 

Witches pray every day, once in the morning, and once at night, typically to the god or goddess of their Circle. During meals, they must give a part of their meal to the fire as an offering to the gods. Witches convene at a church service each Friday evening at 8 pm, sitting with their Circles. 

Each Circle is governed by a High Priest chosen by the Council, but locally, priests look over smaller groups. 

One of the most positions in the Order is the Oracle, always called upon by the goddess Hekate. The Oracle is always a woman, and she always forsees the next apocalypse and its savior.

Good and evil is a tricky topic in the Order. “Evil” behavior isn’t necessarily revered, but it also isn’t spoken against. Most witches and warlocks want power, and will go to great lengths to get it and keep it. As long as you aren’t breaking any laws or speaking against the gods, then you’re probably fine. 

The core values of the Order of Esochaia are knowledge, loyalty, performance, power, and versatility.

A lair purge has led to the removal of a large amount of my dragons. This post will serve as a list of what is removed and what canonically occurred to them. Saccharo - Left with Avarren in search of a better home. Avarren - Left with Saccharo in search of a better home. Mel - Perished under the harsh conditions set by Echo. Ventus - Allowed his the mortal form he inhabited to perish, continues on as a spirit. Eldan - Driven away by Andromeda for being a general nuisance. Mica - Perished under the harsh conditions set by Echo.  Echo - Perished. Rekka - Perished at the hands of the darker side of the clan. Ignisia - Attacked and driven away when she surfaced to meet with Avellatur.

On an unrelated sidenote, I don’t know how I never assumed you’d write Ignis sooner because he��s so your type and I’m fucking laughing

Lady, baby, you’re not wrong. Jin’s birthday is exactly a week after his. This is fate. This is my design.

……………………… but I have a FF7 bias

we ALL have an ff7 bias. SQUARE ENIX has a fuckin ff7 bias.

@ignisia replied to your post: Real Talk tho  the Glaives and Guards DEFINITELY...

So are we talking like friendly shenanigans or FF7 Shinra Security Department Versus SOLDIER levels of ridiculous and unjustified hostility here

// MOST LIKELY THE LATTER, LBR HERE, if we’re talking about the level of ridiculousness

although i’d assume they gotta keep it on the down-low mostly (especially in the glaives’ part) bc the higher ranking staff members/council members like Clarus wouldn’t rly approve of it, esp since they’re serving the royal family

Blessed dragons are no longer welcome among the clan as the clan follows no specific deity. Ignisia and Mistral are treated with disdain from Echo and heavily suppressed in their rights. The two continue to stay, however, for their connections within the clan. Those that support Echo also treat them with disdain.

// - You know...You have a REALLY good point there. The gif set is still cool looking tho and I'm basic.

Oh yeah, like totally no doubt the graphic looks pretty rad. I’m a graphics whore tbh

They’re right in a sense, though. With how much Square enjoys butchering characters, who are we to put it past them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tru dat, babe. I mean after what we saw in the Episode :)) But it all still goes against what they were building him up to be. Square get your shit together and just give me Ignis with his hair down + his glasses

#Woah there Vergil

I feel personally attacked

@ignisia replied to your post: Yep. Now feeling a Witcher verse coming on for...

If you thought the Lodge of Sorceresses had some sassy mages, wait ‘til Ardyn shows up

And likely this is why they banned men in the Lodge. The guys had to go form their own.

They haven't given a specific date, but "late September" is what they've said.

“My mind is a dark place. You do not want to be there.”

HURT MEME.

           “Anything I can do Ignis— i just want to help you” Now he was beginning to act like Prompto. Lucian always made sure to never hover around Ignis & if he couldn’t do something the first time, he’d hesitate before jumping in and helping. What he was going through, being blind, was a learning experience only Ignis could understand. There was no point in being clingy, but right now, nothing Ignis could say or do would push him away.

          “You’ve always been there for me and now it’s my turn. You can do this. Your mind won't always be so dark. You’ll make it through this even if you don’t believe it right now”

Brows knitted together for a moment as she thought about it. With a final nod, she took her notes back and studied them once more. Trying out new things was one of the many things she enjoyed, and then having such a great cook to talk to about her ideas made it that much better.

She just knew that Ignis wouldn’t put her ideas down either. So many people were skeptical about odd things.

Turning, she started gathering ingredients. 

“Would you like to try it once it’s done?”

Land

The Land, also known as the Terra Mundus, is divided into four sections. Looks like a big rectangle. Each section is ruled by a Guardian, who controls the element of the land through their Stone.

At each corner (haha, 4 corners, haha), there resides a city. Atlantis for the Nataretaquis, The Citadel in Ignisia, The Caverns in the Natareterrae, and the City in the Sky for Narbibus.

There is a trail leading from the origin (basically where you spawn) to all four cities. Along the trail you can find towns.

Towns have trading posts, shops, MicDanalds, and a Sanctuary. More on that later.
