Sebuuk: Difference between revisions

The Sebuuk are one of the most tragic Legends from [[Lethurèa]]. One of the five original [[Spirit Tribes]] created within [[Lethurèa]], each tribe representing a unique aspect of the primordial soul traits gifted by The [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] upon their return to the newborn universe. The Sebuuk are known as the Naïve Children, a moniker that belies their profound cosmic purpose. Though considered the most innocent and inexperienced of the tribes, the Sebuuk embody raw potential, untempered curiosity, and untapped brilliance.

Their role in Lethurèan cosmology is both misunderstood and essential—they are the ones most likely to ask "why," to dream beyond limits, and to wander where the wise fear to tread. In their naivety they gave up their limitless potential to side with [[Malis]].

The Sebuuk were the final tribe formed when The [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] returned to [[Lethurèa]] to divide the spirits according to their dominant soul traits. While others were assigned for their wisdom, bravery, unpredictability, or love, the Sebuuk were chosen for their spiritual innocence and unformed potential. They are not ignorant by nature, but rather unshaped—divinely raw, brimming with purpose not yet realized.

Though often underestimated, the Sebuuk represent the possibility of divine evolution. Just as children may one day surpass their elders, Sebuuk spirits are capable of transcending their naivety and becoming some of the most powerful beings in [[Lethurèa]], depending on their growth and choices.

== Sebuuk Rebellion ==

After an era of spiritual dormancy, the Sebuuk grew impatient. Unlike the other [[Spirit Tribes (Lethurèa)|Spirit Tribes]], who accepted the slow grace of transformation, the Sebuuk longed to ''leap'' into mortality. They sought physical form, not through patience and trial, but through defiance. In time, they approached the [[First-Flames]], eternal forgers of the mortal vessels, and demanded bodies of their own. The First-Flames denied them, citing that [[Yedistren]]—the sacred core of creation—was already full. The Sebuuk would have to wait their turn, as was decreed by the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]].

But the Sebuuk would not wait.

They remembered the words whispered to them before even the [[True First War]]: <blockquote>''“I have power no other being possesses.”'' </blockquote>The voice belonged to [[Malis]], the Shackled Deceiver, the one exiled into [[Gozog'nok]].

In secret, the Sebuuk traveled to Kôthar and '''inverted the Super Nexus''', turning a channel of light into a wound in space. In its place, they birthed the '''[[Black Hole (Lethurèa)|Blackhole]]''', a spiraling gate into '''[[Gozog’nok]]''', the Lethurèan Hell. There they found [[Malis]] bound in cosmic chains, tormented by a thousand suns' worth of silence. And there he smiled.

With cruel instruction, [[Malis]] taught them to weave [[Shadow Bodies]]—false vessels not formed of flesh and breath, but of black flame and volatile matter. These oily husks hissed with dark psionic resonance. Earth withered beneath their feet. Light recoiled from their touch. These were not bodies made in the [[Light of It'slémwé]]—they were formed in defiance of it.

Malis then shared a forbidden truth: '''No spirit would ever attain true mortality while the [[Sherok]] still lived.''' The [[Sherok]], original children of the [[First-Flames]], were nigh-immortal, anchoring the cycle of mortality. If the Sebuuk wanted bodies of their own, they would need to destroy '''the [[Sherok]]'''… and then '''the [[First-Flames]]''' themselves.

 

 

 

The [[First War (Lethurèa)|First War]] erupted. The [[First-Flames]], anticipating betrayal, had prepared the [[Sherok Citadel|Sherok Citadels]] for war. What was once a peaceful realm became a cosmic battlefield. Quadrillions of [[Sherok]] fell in waves of corrupted flame and abyssal poison. Cities crumbled. Rivers boiled. Dream sanctuaries shattered.

 

But the Sebuuk had miscalculated. For all their numbers, they were not infinite. They had underestimated the '''will of Light''' and the endurance of the First-Flames. The final blow came when the [[First-Flames]] '''sealed the [[Blackhole (Lethurèa)|Blackhole]]''', casting the surviving Sebuuk back into [[Gozog'nok|Gozog’nok]].

 

Then came the curse.<blockquote>''“Never shall you walk in the Light of It'slémwé again.”''</blockquote>The Sebuuk were exiled. Their forms bound in torment. Their hope for mortality, crushed under the weight of divine justice.

 

 

This enraged [[Malis]].

 

The Sebuuk had promised him a world cleansed of the [[Sherok]], and the deaths of the [[First-Flames]]. Yet '''not one''' Flame had fallen. The [[Sherok]], though thinned, still thrived. And so, in the choking silence of [[Gozog’nok]], '''[[Malis]] turned on his disciples'''.

 

For an entire '''era''', he subjected the Sebuuk to unspeakable torment.

 

* The rebellious were reformed into cursed mockeries, their spirits stretched thin across miles of obsidian chains.

 

 

Later, [[Malismorai]]—a twisted [[Sherok Warlord]] who had defected to [[Malis|Malis’s]] side—led an effort to '''release the [[Malisik]]''' from [[Gozog'nok]]. Though [[Malismorai]] succeeded, he left the Sebuuk behind. [[The Curse (Sebuuk)|Their curse]] was too potent, their treason too fresh. Only [[Malis]] still believed they might someday escape—through brilliance, desperation, or despair.

 

It was not until the rise of the '''[[Shemèin]]''', crafters of flesh, machine, and soul, that a solution emerged. By sacrificing entire [[Malisik]] [[Soul-Cluster|Soul-Clusters]] and stitching them into complex mortal matrices, the [[Shemèin]] created '''[[Mortal Vessel|Mortal Vessels]]''' capable of containing Sebuuk spirits—vessels resistant to [[The Curse (Sebuuk)|the curse’s]] annihilating light. If the Sebuuk was slain the [[Soul-Cluster]] would be released and the [[Malisik]] spirits would be freed.

 

These vessels were flawed, unstable, and costly to produce. Only the most '''loyal, elite, or strategically valuable Sebuuk''' were granted them. The rest remained in the dark, awaiting release or consuming one another in madness.
