Template:The Essence/es
The essence is a stream that exists across all planes of existence, but it exists at different levels of strength essentially at different levels that can be utilized; and the void is the furthest... There is a very minute amount of essence that can be found within the void. However the planes of existence that are in Ashes of Creation- they are connected across bridges created by the essence. So these ley-lines in a sense that exist within the different planes provide conduits of access and on Verra, which was a planet that was made after the ancient- the celestial battle.[1] – Steven Sharif
La Esencia es una energía metafísica o fuerza vital (Chi) que puede manipularse para crear lo que podría verse como magia. Hay diferentes planos de existencia (reinos) con diversos grados de intensidad (de magia), en función de su proximidad a la Esencia. Los planos de existencia en Ashes of Creation están conectados a través de puentes creados por la Esencia[2][1]
- Los Dioses existen en el plano de los dioses, que es el que se encuentro mejor conectado con la Esencia.[1]
- El plano material no es el más alto en cuanto a proximidad a la Esencia. Verra existe en el plano material.[1]
- El vacío es el plano mas alejado y menos conectado con la Esencia. Solo una pequeña cantidad de Esencia puede ser encontrada dentro del vacío.[1]
- No ha habido una comprensión clara acerca de cuantos planos de existencia hay.[2]
Souls acting as conduits is a very integral component of some broader features in the storyline. If you think about souls being a conduit for Essence and you think of the gods as masters of the Essence: If you think of the Essence being separate from the Gods- let's say they're parallel to eachother- one didn't create the other, but they coexist in this almost symbiotic form with one another; almost to the point where their manipulation of the Essence is perfection: They can perfectly manipulate it and lesser beings; and I say 'lesser' in a sense of their alignment or closeness to Essence. They're still perfecting that manipulation and some never achieve perfection almost to the degree of ascendency or enlightenment- Essence being that sort of Chi that exists. In that regard, when a perfect being such as the gods- and I'm not saying 'perfect' as the correlation between sin and not sin, I'm thinking perfect in the sense of how you can control and manipulate the Essence: That control is perfection for them.[2] – Steven Sharif
When you think about souls being a conduit, what are conduits used for? Conduits are passages; they're methods by which Essence can travel between realms, between planes. And there hasn't been any definitive understanding of just how many planes exist. We understand that there is a disparity between the planes when it comes to their connection to the Essence, and because Essence is so powerful; and it flows through these planes almost like a river. You can think that conduits help to maintain that flow and/or even exaggerate the flow; and there might be something at play, that I don't wanna touch necessarily, as to why one would want to create these types of conduits, these souls, this creation on the material plane: Something of significance.[2] – Steven Sharif
Las almas son un canal para La Esencia para viajar entre los diferentes planos de la existencia. Esta idea está es un componente integral dentro de las propias características de la historia.[2]
- Los dioses son maestros de la Esencia, pero se encuentran separados de ella. Ninguno fue creado por el otro, pero existen juntos, como una simbiosis; donde los dioses han logrado una manipulación casi perfecto de la Esencia y de los "seres menores" que existen más allá de la Esencia.[2]
- La Esencia es tan poderosa que fluye a través de los planos casi como un río Los canales del alma ayudan a mantener e incluso lo magnifican. Los detalles que rodean todo esto no se han revelado, pero se dice que tienen algún sifnificado en la propia historia.[2]
- King Atrax fue el primer gobernante de Verra en descubrir el propósito de La Esencia, permitiendo la manipulación de la material y el uso de la magia por cualquier medio..[3]
- Los Tulnar tienen almas, y estás actúan como canales para La Esencia.[4]
Durante el Apocalípsis, Los Antiguos crearon monstruosidades y pervirtieron la naturaleza con corrupción, que es el aspecto negativo de La Esencia.[5]
- El cambio de forma (changeling) se realiza a través de La Esencia centrándose en ese tipo específico de magia.[6]
- Any form of changeling or shape shifting that's capable is done so through the Essence. There’s a few ways that a soul can become attuned to a specific type of magic in manipulating the Essence; and overtime as you manipulate the Essence in the same way, your soul can start to develop a tendency to gravitate towards that type of magic. So in that sense- those shape shifters and/or changelings that are capable of changing their form- they do so because they have mastered to a degree that type of magic; and their souls have become attuned to that type of magic.[6] – Steven Sharif
- Los propios Antiguos son más sedentarios en su forma física y menos capaces de formar instantáneamente. Sus manifestaciones físicas como tenientes, capitanes generales y jefes de incursión se perfeccionaron con el tiempo a causa de la perversión de La Esencia através de la corrupción.[6]
- They are literally bred into a role and that role has perfected over time because through the delineation of specific subsects of the soul of the conduit that this race has, those different castes become attuned to different roles. That's why they are traditionally in a caste society.[6] – Steven Sharif
