In accordance with [[Divine Law]], a | In accordance with [[Divine Law]], a being's gender is often encoded into their soul, [[Genetic Signature]], or metaphysical essence. In some cases, such as among the [[Valorèin]], gender is linked not just to physical traits, but to emotional resonance and spiritual identity. The [[Divine Parents]] themselves propagate gendered spirits during the [[Fathoming]] of a universe, assigning reproductive or creative roles that persist across reincarnations and dimensional crossings. | ||
