Underlight Reawakening History and Beliefs

The Temple Artifact: The Ethereal Beacon

An eternal flame burns within an ornate metal lantern, its frame fashioned from shimmering gold and adorned with intricate designs, exuding an air of enchantment. A simple gold knob engages a latch on the inside, and with a release, the door swings open gracefully on golden hinges. Crystal-clear glass panes on all sides radiate light far and wide, illuminating the mysteries within. A grand golden ring awaits atop the lantern, beckoning to be held or hung.
Our Mission:
Within our dream realm teem Ethereal Beings and Energies, their depths only just beginning to reveal themselves to us. The Ethereal Temple stands as a bastion of discovery and comprehension, seeking to unravel the enigma of these celestial entities and their potent energies, surpassing all that came before. Membership in the Temple transcends mere religious affiliation; it requires a profound belief in beings and energies whose powers surpass our own, and a burning desire to bridge that unfathomable chasm by any means necessary.
The mission of The Ethereal Temple is clear: to uncover, comprehend, and wield the ethereal energies and entities that traverse our realm, both within the city and beyond. Unified under a singular banner, the Temple offers sanctuary to dreamers of diverse faiths and beliefs, forging ahead as a united force within the city's enigmatic expanse.
The mission of The Ethereal Temple extends beyond mere discovery and understanding; its members are also tasked with safeguarding the delicate balance of realities from any entities, external or internal, that would dare to disrupt it, even if those threats emerge from within our own ranks. In our pursuit of enlightenment, we recognize the importance of maintaining harmony across all planes of existence, standing as guardians against any force that would tip the scales toward chaos or destruction. Thus, as we delve deeper into the mysteries of the ethereal realm, we do so with a solemn oath to protect the very fabric of existence itself.

Temple Hierarchy:
Guided by the Ruler(s) and supported by Guardians and Advisors, the doctrines of the Temple ordain our path, steering the course of our endeavors. Membership within the Temple is a solemn commitment, barring Guardians from affiliating with any other house. Initiates serve as heralds, bringing forth potential members to face the scrutiny of the Temple hierarchy, their worthiness judged before entry into The Ethereal Temple and its Inquisitors. Each member bears a collective responsibility to contribute to the house's endeavors and the city's welfare, embodying the essence of the Prime Artifact - the Ethereal Beacon.

On Darkmares & Others:
The Temple acknowledges the complexity of the Darks' society and extends a measure of respect yet remains vigilant against their violent foundations. While not instigating conflict, we stand ready to defend our Temple and city against any threat. Sentient entities shall be held accountable for their actions.
Essences:
Within the Ethereal Temple, essences serve as both currency and energy, transcending outdated socio-political constructs. Members may uphold personal essence beliefs, provided they do not infringe upon others' freedoms.

Understanding Chaos:
Chaos, both within and beyond the city, serves as a wellspring of knowledge and power awaiting exploration. The Temple embraces experimentation and learning from this element, as we would any other.

Planar Cosmology:
We perceive the connection between all realms and the waking worlds as a labyrinthine enigma, transcending mortal comprehension. Thus, we stand "Enlightened," poised to navigate these ethereal planes with reverence and wisdom.
