The Magic and Alchemy of Sojournus

Overview
A common maxim is that “Telnian is of the Sky and Alchemy is of the Earth” or that “the Orator reveres the design and the Alchemist reveres the device.” These sayings are mostly poetic and bear only a little insight into the nature of the two disciplines. In truth, the two general schools have enriched each other on many levels and have produced man marvelous syntheses.

Telnian Linguistics
Telnian  is the name of the language that, if spoken correctly, causes the unmanifest essence of its words to “manifest through the proxy of the speaker.” It is an incredibly nuanced language and is very difficult to speak. Modern knowledge of Telnian  is very incomplete, and much of what is known was mostly scattered throughout the diaspora or cloistered in small groups until the relatively modern Terrian synthesis. When utilized in most of the traditional methods, spoken Telnian  requires that the speaker successfully achieve a very specific trance state. The vernacular for this state differs, but most Telnian related traditions/styles utilize some form of it.

The Oratory Trance

 * The trance is usually referred to as “The Oratory Trance” or “Standing in the Threshold” or perhaps the most poetic phrase: “placing one foot on the moon.” There is a corresponding kind of “space” in Alchemical literature usually referred to with nonchalance as the “Etherium.” It has been described in many different ways and you may find that it can be described in many more. The Telnian Linguist is able to access this stratum of manifestation through trance.

Glyphic Telnian

 * There is also a written form of Telnian  (not to be confused with the popular shorthand used in most schools of the Terrian west). Written or Glyphic Telnian  is considered to have once been more extensive than it is now, but applicable Glyphic Telnian  is more or less reduced to the body of Telnian  phonemes known as <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Elemental Telnian <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">. The Glyphic form utilizes layers of concentric mandallah-esque script. As nuanced as its spoken counterpart, printing the glyphs is a highly specialized craft requiring very particular resources and can even be dangerous.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">A successfully imprinted glyph instantly becomes HIGHLY sensitive to light exposure and must be hidden in order to preserve it. Prolonged exposure of the glyph to light will cause it to quickly destabilize, but the potency of its <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Telnian <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> phenomenon may escalate considerably as long as it maintains its physical integrity. As the glyph destabilizes, it has an increasing probability of explosion and catastrophe. This has ended the progress of many experiments throughout history prematurely due to the death of those experimenting. Many have used this feature to their advantage, however. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Glyphic Telnian <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> has also been utilized via the advanced visualization techniques of certain esoteric schools to achieve <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Telnian <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> phenomenon.

Athen-Alchemy
Athen-Alchemy - also known as Athenium Alchemy, Keltoi Alchemy, or Earth Alchemy - <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.6667px;white-space:pre-wrap;">are all general titles that refer to the Alchemical tradition of Old Kaidan.

Athenium

 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">While the various applications of the art are extensive, <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenalchemists <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> work primarily with ratios of 3 components: <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma, Black Mercury, <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">and “common” metal/alloys (Typically copper, gold, silver, and lead). They produce an alloy called <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenium. ( <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">In the older literature, it was called <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Keltoi.)


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenium <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">is a metal that behaves in sympathy with its forger or creator. Central to the tradition is the <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">tree, a native and rare (rare in that they don’t exist in groves) species that produces a sap so crystalline in its transparency, so hardy in its viscosity, and so luminous under the crescent moon etc etc etc. This sap is called <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">and is very precious. (“The <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">sap reflects the Vaetra <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">” <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">) <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">The <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lillum <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> tree is also responsible for producing intensely hallucinatory experiences for those who come in proximity to its branches during budding seasons.

Humans and the Liluma Tree

 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Humans seem to have varying degrees of sensitivity to the Lilluma tree and in the worst case scenarios a bad allergic episode can result in long term madness and symptom onset can begin miles away. The syndrome has been attributed to gaseous or spore like poisons in the air or water supply by some researchers, while local traditions maintain religious or spiritual causality in the form of divine or demonic activity.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Strangely, small societies that have established themselves in close proximity to Lillum tress and/or groves for many generations seem to develop populations that are more or less immune to the proximity effects. It is common, however, that specific individuals within those communities will become HIGHLY sensitive at an early age and end up exhibiting a natural but very peculiar savantism.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">If applied towards alchemy, the potential of Savant Alchemsists is unparalleled. The Lilluma tree has an interesting symbiotic relationship with a species of arachnid referred to in most taxonomies as the Lillith spider. The Lillith spider’s physiology hosts an indogenous process of Athenalchemy. It is believed that the spider consumes the necessary resources and is able to produce Athenium laden silk this way. For this Reason the Lillith spider is a sacred symbol and patron for Alchemists.

Black Mercury

 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Black Mercury <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> is found in small vein deposits all about Sojournus. The peculiar properties of the substance are many but its exact nature is not well understood. A variety of instruments and methodologies are successfully employed in discovering said veins. There are a few other applications of this precious resource, but it is mainly used in <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenalchemy <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">. This ingredient along with <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> are considered the transmundane components.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Alchemists combine these two components with a 3 <span style="font-size:8.8px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">rd <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> “common” metal through a meticulous ritual laboratory process to produce different classes of <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenium <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">. The so-called common metal is refered to as the mundane component. Once forged, Athenium becomes bound to the will of its creator and will take on certain sympathetic behaviors. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenium <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> also has the peculiar property of increasing in weight and density as proximity is increased between the alloy and its alchemical creator. There are many strange outgrowths of <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenalchemy’s <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> successful subject/object symbiosis.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Athenium <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">on the <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Alchemist’s <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">person takes on an uncanny lightness and can sometimes even shift between different shapes. Upon the death of the Alchemist or if the Athenium left far enough away for long enough, it will disintegrate and leave nothing salvageable but the mundane component. Keltoi is self-restoring and will always return to the form(s) it took during the smithing process. It can be re-smithed but with greater difficulty unless the original chemical ratios are revisited.


 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The standard ratio that <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Alchemists <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">use is a perfect 1 part <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lilluma <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">, 2 parts common metal, and 3 parts <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Black Murcury. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> Most modern schools of <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Alchemy <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> employ some degree of <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Mahniscopy <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">, but Athenium forging by itself has been known to produce some incredibly powerful weaponry.

Mahniscopy

 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">A “ <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Mahniscope <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">” is a device engineered to expose <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Telnian Glyphs <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> to light in specific sequences and thereby automate <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Telnian <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Phenomenon <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">.

The combination of Athenium, Glyph-scription, and mahniscopy have yielded the most impressive alchemical achievements to date.

The Gaitan were a class unto themselves. They strove to perfect mind and body in the battlefield and developed combat techniques far more advanced than the soldiery of the rest of the world. With the relatively recent restoration of the Edoshi dynasty came the voluntary dissolution of the Gaitan as a military class. The vast majority of the Gaitan became masterless wonderers but most were conferred with the Arcanus title due to the deep degree of respect held for them by their native culture. For those away from Edosh, this conference of title has largely been accepted by the world as many Gaitan have successfully implemented Keltoi Metallurgy into their own weapon mastery as well as glyph scription and sometimes eve basic Telnian. A Gaitan is mostly known for his unique maneuvers on the field, but due to the well-established Edoshi Alchemical tradition much Athenalchemical knowledge has been accessible to the military elite. Most Gaitan supplement their incredible military finesse with alchemy (more in smithing or glyph making) or even <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Varudrism <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.
