Welcome to the world of Trion. The center of the Universe and the home of the Celestial and the Infernal... Gods and Daemons.... but they are all dead, and this is an age where power can be acquired without any limitation, that is, if you are bold enough to do so.
The weight of power in this world is significant, and only those willing to suffer for it will gain the power needed to thrive. Madness and much worse fates await those who crave the glory of heaven and the powers of hell.
This book would be quite massive and still disturbingly deep, with intricate Power Systems and a deep lore behind it, so this section would be very important for new and older readers, as you can always return here to refresh your memory about certain terms and brush up on the lore of this world.
I will try to keep this page updated as the story continues.
Let's get into the world of Trion!
In Trion, power is not "cultivated" in the traditional sense of endless meditation and the gathering of qi. Instead, mortals and beasts awaken to Lumina, the pervasive force of divine will and lifeforce left over after the gods' fall, and become Siphons by harvesting it through killing or natural maturation.
Progression is measured in stages, each a single archetype representing deeper attunement to Lumina's Celestial light or its Infernal hunger. Known to the masses as the power of Miracle or the power of Damnation.
Each stage has Ranks 1–9, with a perilous barrier between each stage. Higher stages grant greater attributes, specialized boons, and escalating risks of Veil-Fracture (Body Mutation).
Stage 0 → Mortal
Stage 1 → Wisp [Rank 1-9]
Stage 2 → Fury Forge [Rank 1-9]
Stage 3 → Mist Phantom [Rank 1-9]
Stage 4 → Amber Exile [Rank 1-9]
Stage 5 → Void Sentinel [Rank 1-9]
Hints about the sort of abilities each stage possesses are in their designation. A Wisp is well a... wisp. The first stage a mortal reaches after ascension. This stage is the foundation of a Siphon, and its importance is often overlooked.
There would be ten stages, but for a while, the highest we would see would be the first five.

Three large factions control Trion. The Royalty, the Military, and Finally the Guilds.
Each of these factions is vast, and their history and powers run deep.
I will update this page as soon as they are introduced in the story.

Standard terms you would most assuredly come across during your reading.

Okay... There is so much more I want to share, but I don't like spoilers, so we'll keep updating going forward.
