Call of It'slâmwâ: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''The Call of It’slémwé''' is the sacred summons that draws a spirit toward its eternal rest within the divine realm of [[It’slémwé]]. Heard at the moment of death—or in moments of great suffering, clarity, or sacred stillness—it is **not merely a sound**, but a metaphysical pull experienced as music, memory, love, and light. It is considered by many to be the voice of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] themselves.

== When the Call Occurs ==

* The Call manifests at death, but also grows louder in old age, especially among the [[Valorèin]].

* The Call manifests near or at death, but also grows louder in old age, especially among the [[Valorèin]].

* For those spiritually attuned, like the [[Valorèin]], it can be heard faintly throughout life and crescendos in their final moments.

* Some species, in moments of suffering or deep reflection, may hear the Call prematurely and must choose whether to answer.

== The Call While Dying ==

The Call of It’slémwé does not require the soul to be fully severed from the body. It may manifest '''during the process of dying''', especially in moments of:

* Extreme injury

* Fading consciousness

* Emotional surrender or spiritual enlightenment

Those near death may hear the Call as a '''whisper''', '''warmth''', or '''glow in their mind’s eye''', offering them a choice:

* '''Answer it''' and pass into the light peacefully, even if their body still breathes.

* '''Resist it''', clinging to life in hopes of survival, duty, or love.

This experience has led many cultures to describe the Call as a “threshold melody” rather than a funeral song.

* The experience is always tailored to the soul’s spirit-essence and life.

== The Call and Divinity ==

Those who carry [[Elements of It’slémwé]], or who have become [[Lesser Deity (Lethurèa)]] or [[Deity (Lethurèa)]], do not hear the Call as mortals do:

* Instead of summoning them, it **completes them**—a homecoming echo, not an invitation.

* Instead of summoning them, it '''completes them'''—a homecoming echo, not an invitation.

* Near-death, they may still hear the voices of the Divine Parents, affirming their final transition.

== The Final Call ==

On [[Judgement Day]], every spirit who still lingers in [[Yedistren]] will receive the **[[Final Call (Lethurèa)]]**:

On [[Judgement Day]], every spirit who still lingers in [[Yedistren]] will receive the '''[[Final Call (Lethurèa)]]''':

* This Call is absolute and irresistible.

* Even [[Malis]] will hear it—though he cannot answer. He will be taken in chains by the [[Naa’ôna]] to stand before judgment.
