Khamaril - DevLan-Cybersecurity/arvan GitHub Wiki
The Khamaril is a race of negative alignment that resides at Khimaira, officially established Kingdom in the Nether. It respects the laws of the Nether, but not all its members possess the Netherian citizenship thus allowing members of the Khamaril to freely choose to practice a cult rather than another or none.
The purpose of the Kingdom is to intellectually and politiccaly dominate the whole dimension of life and death. To "grow" and educate the members (especially the new) to the laws of the Nether in force and passing on the peculiarities that characterize the four dynasties and especially the ancient "traditions" on which the history of the Khamaril is based. The Khamaril is associated with the name of "Sect" with several meanings connected to it: "seco", cut ( this is found in the history of the Kingdom that decided to abandon the lands of Arvan, rejecting therefore the laws in force ) or strengthening "sector" of "sequor", that is follow ( and from this the propensity of the Houses to follow a specific Path ).
What are the Cult's Paths?
The paths are Ways that a Khamaril decides to follow according to their inclinations.
Each Way has rules that make it peculiar and different from the others. Each Way is an Ethics or Label, although these terms are inappropriate. It includes rules that must be followed and respected, Failure to respect some of them naturally has consequences and for this reason the infringement is called "sin". Normally the Regents are the proponents of the Paths and have the task of transmitting them according to a pyramidal hierarchy that ends with the Puer.
How many and what are the Cult's Paths?
β The Path of Perdition. Followed by the House of Vuitton, aims at total abandonment to excess and degeneration of the most subtle and carnal vices hiding behind the patronage of the arts, of which the House claims to be the holder. The ethics of this path tend to hedonism: The hedonist is the one who makes his own existence a work of art consecrating it to the achievement of personal pleasure. Beauty and Corruption, two elements that will be reflected in the choices of Vuitton.
β The Path of the Quintessence. Followed by the House of Mindark, composed of the most mysterious, shy and cynical individuals in the Kingdom: Magicians, Mystics or Arcanists, practicing in their dark underground rites of all kinds. The goal pursued is to achieve perfection which for them is enclosed in the secret of the Immortality of an Asfeus. The Mindarks are constantly in search of Knowledge, Power and especially the exaltation of their Race. In fact for a Mindark the Khamaril is a being "chosen", "superior" to all other creatures. Their studies often aim to manipulate nature, to have control over it by not accepting that it can affect them. From this derives also a conflict-opposing relationship with the race of Vanlans and Syssna who deeply detest precisely because exalters of nature itself. Reason can control instinct, and so can the Beast.
β The Path of the Honor. Followed by the House of De Virt, by those who put Duty before everything and tenaciously defend Traditions, the basis of the doctrine of their Path. The De Virt are proficient in rhetoric and with their dialectics they turn every speech in their favor. By following this path, it is their duty to keep their word and honour their commitments, as well as to be able to tame cowardice and always maintain appearances and self-control. The Decalogue emphasizes the use of the right manners towards the guests, the respect of the individuals considered worthy but above all the "political and social" commitment within the Kingdom and the world of the Nether that they govern, enjoying the trust of the Khamari's King and the Prince.
A clandestine dynasty: the Von Hyde.
Officially, she was disowned by the Kingdom to give the Khamaril an image that individuals suffering from insanity, such as the Von Hyde, could not have assured. In order to serve the Kingdom, they are entrusted with the most "delicate" and illicit matters. They are a bit like goons hiding inside the other dynasties: Vuitton, De Virt, Mindark.
Who are the Von Hyde then?
The von Hyde have innate the seed of madness largely controlled but which can always result in total irrationality. However, they also possess a gift that distinguishes them: Genius, a skill born of insanity, which over the centuries has allowed this dynasty to acquire the faculty to go beyond what is normally understood, thus allowing to accept and face, without any problems, what others would find inconceivable.
The Von Hyde donβt follow any Path?
No. The insany does not allow them to comply with the rules designated by a Path. They are "without rules".
Hierarchy of the Kingdom:
- King: King and member of the Council of Elders, it is the unquestionable leader of the Khamaril that reflects every ideology and cult's path.
- Prince: Member of the Council of Elders. He manages everything the King delegates to him. He is the spokesman for the Kingdom and its will. In the absence of the King he replaces him in his own right. He too reflects every ideology and path of the Kingdom, like the King.
- Elder Regent Vuitton/Mindark/De Virt/Von Hyde: Member of the Council of Elders. He who is entrusted not only with the management and responsibility of his dynasty, but also with the specific obligations devolved to the interest of the entire clan. The Von Hyde role is officially non-existent because it is clandestine.
- Member Vuitton/Mindark/De Virt/Von Hyde: He who has become aware of his new state of non-life and who is considered ready to belong to one of the Dynasties. The Von Hyde role is officially non-existent because it is clandestine.
- Puer: New Comers
The official greeting of the Clan is "Aluk'Hamaril". The brand with which the Vampires of the Khamaril can sign and stand out, for example in the public bulletin boards or at the bottom of their letters, will be a K underlined and written in such a way: /<.
