 '''The Gordian Knot'''
-Many Bodies, One Mind... Fading, Stagnation, Absence. Divinity, Reverence, Blessedness… The Gordian Knot ignores the lies of straight lines; if one is Lucky enough, they might find that The Map always folds to place them beside their destination. And The Knot is good at getting things to Fold. [Strong in The Knock of The shade]

 '''The Pantheon.'''
-Many Bodies, Many Minds… Divinity, Reverence, Recognition. Decay, Transformation, Presence… The Pantheon is where most Long of The shade end up, Fighting to become even more Relevant, and to become The Mark of Mastery that they wish to see in This World. Long already try and sabotage each other even when separated by whole continents… These ones have no such luxury in how they get to complete for the status of a Name, and the thought of having full control over the reflections of reflections of refractions of reflections of The World does nothing to lessen their efforts. [Strong in The Grail and Edge of The shade]

 '''The Blinded one.'''
-One Body, One Mind. Fading, Stagnation, Unbound. Sins, Desecration, Cursedness... The Blinded one Knows all The Suffering witnessed by The shade, and weeps. It will accept your sorrows and be the one to cry for you, but caution to any who might get to close; becoming a part of The Blinded one might be a quick way to becoming a Name, but not the kind you might have hoped to become. [Strong in the struggle; The Edge, of The shade. But without any struggle of its own.]

 '''The Shattered.'''
-One Body, Many Minds. Sins, Desecration, Dissection. Decay, Transformation, Absolutes… The Shattered is incredibly Knowledgeable in all but the suffering known to The Blinded one. It frequently splits apart, just as a fire can spread till it seems like separate fires, and it frequently rejoins, just as one can throw a torch upon the house and still call it the same fire. The shattered is constantly puzzling figuring testing enjoying rising in elation collapsing in despair and fulfilling a false reflection of every possible Desire it can find that The shade has taken in. One might mistake them for being of Heart, but even The Shattered Ceases from time to time. [Strong in the Desires; The Grail, of The shade.]

 # '''Ascension: Saturation:''' Suffering; There is a house burning down somewhere… The World is full of moments like this.

 # '''Ascension: Saturation:''' Knowledge; One can Map the Reflections. One can Reflect the Reflections. One can Refract the Reflected Reflections. Even This World bends before those who are called Know. It bends a little further for someone who can apply a little force to it.

But my Reflection is equivalent to me, and my Reflection will Live on, breathless before the beauty of all within The ''shade''. Perhaps one day, they will tire of merely watching, and My Reflection will leave The Center of The shade, seeking whatever new desire they have found. But until then, they will remain as one.
