Line 1: Line 1:
The most ancient of powers given to the Aldar in the moment of their formation by Ayar, beyond even the innumerable other natural advantages of their race, was their strength in will and mind. This manifested itself in vast psionic and telepathic might, an ability wielded with unfathomable ease as they imposed their thought upon themselves and upon the world around them. With the centuries of peace during which these arts were mastered, coupled to their functionally unchallenged rule of Creation below the Pantheon itself, offensive techniques within Psionics never saw true progress beyond the simple, rendering them almost unrefined by the measure of modern telepaths. Yet it was never their offensive powers that made this lost art so mighty in the hands of the Firstborn.

The '''Psionics''' skill is available to members of the [[Psion]] [[class]], along with [[Weaving]] and [[Emulation]].
'''Lucretius, the God of Philosophy and Knowledge''', was one of the original [[Elder Gods]] created by [[Ayar]]. There is little noted about Lucretius and His actions in history other than mentions of an enigmatic nature and penchant for solitude. He predicted that the descendants of [[Sinope (mythology)|Sinope]] and [[Callisto (mythology)|Callisto]] will likely phase out from their immortal state to mortality. This was the inevitable result of interbreeding pure [[Chaos]] with an [[Aldar]]; the entropic energy inherent in the [[Unnamable Horror]] would gradually cause the Aldar energy of [[Maya]] to deteriorate over time.  


Though absent from mortal affairs for many generations, Lucretius is worshipped by the priestesses who dwell on the [[New Hope|Island of New Hope]]. The [[Lucretian Athenaeum]] in [[New Thera]], the [[Lucrescent nut]], and the [[Ring of Lucretian Clarity]]—all mind-expanding tools to be sure—are also named in His honour.

Lucretius, the God of Philosophy and Knowledge, was one of the original Elder Gods created by Ayar. There is little noted about Lucretius and His actions in history other than mentions of an enigmatic nature and penchant for solitude. He predicted that the descendants of Sinope and Callisto will likely phase out from their immortal state to mortality. This was the inevitable result of interbreeding pure Chaos with an Aldar; the entropic energy inherent in the Unnamable Horror would gradually cause the Aldar energy of Maya to deteriorate over time.

Though absent from mortal affairs for many generations, Lucretius is worshipped by the priestesses who dwell on the Island of New Hope. The Lucretian Athenaeum in New Thera, the Lucrescent nut, and the Ring of Lucretian Clarity—all mind-expanding tools to be sure—are also named in His honour.

His Siblings have at times mentioned that He still yet lives, as well as other evidence to support the fact.
