GRIFIX LORE UPDATE #24 - The Wonderfully Weird House, reincarnated sphirix, Xuihcoatl, etc.
Posted 15 hours ago :: Last edited 14 hours ago by MysteriousShineBack so soon!! Well I had a lot of info to clear so I pretty much just broke it up into 2 news updates, so here's for the leftovers from the last one!
Let's start with something actually new this time, here's a new Entertainment House!
Wonderfully Weird House
The Wonderfully Weird House is a small entertainment house in the more disheveled parts of the Entertainment District. Inside, the house is cramped with stalls where Entertainers will pull tricks and do 'spells' for a price. There is one small stage at the end of the house where small shows are held. The most popular trick there is 'mindreading'. A gas is pumped through the air to make the tricks appear more believable and to make guests more susceptible to spilling secret information.
Entertainers will sometimes do disappearing tricks, and ask the customers to give them objects to poof away. As the customers get more and more excited, they will give more valuable stuff to the entertainers to try their tricks on. The objects will never be returned, so beware!
History:
The house is old, but at some point they were left without a house mother and the place was quickly decaying. They couldn't participate in the guild's meetings because they didn't have a mother and they were at risk of losing their status as an entertainment house if they couldn't figure it out quickly.
It's then tha Arlechino and her children joined this house, and Arlechino kinda took over - without actually intending to become the house mother. Before she knew it she found herself representing the House at a guild meeting - at which point she realized she actually became the house mother against her will.
The house was pretty much revived after she took over and her children brought in new acts for the house.
Arlechino was actually the child of the biggest star of the house but she hated her mother and the house mother and left very young to join HoV cause she had family roots in there.
She loathed the previous house mother (was terribly mistreated by her as she was an unwanted child who ended the career of the biggest start of the house) which is why she refused to take on the house "mother" rank and instead calls herself the house "father".
I also continued what I started in the last lore update and added some more faction pages for outsider factions - in order to integrate the new faction system further. The following factions now have faction pages:
These do not have a lot of new info, but there is a bit of info on ranks and such. In addition to this, I made separate faction pages for Everfree Warriors from each queen's time, because they have different requirements and I thought this would be better than having them all in one faction:
Starla is not included because that's a bit more complex but I might include it in the future. I also added a page for Umbra Armor but that's no new info, but now it has a page for easier access:
Here's some lore about one of the primordial beings of Equestria (owned by Dawn-n-Night):
Xuihcoatl
Xuihcoatl was one of Akasha's creations, long before the establishment of Equestria. He was one of the primordial dragons, ancestor of the current day dragons, but much bigger than any dragon in present time Equestria.
He was taught magic of fire, destruction and chaos by Akasha. He was the first dragon to hold the power of fire, and the one who passed it down to the rest. He was a player in many of the wars between Akasha and Mortina and played a role in many civilizations crumbling at their orders.
He served as the dragon king and led the dragons in devastating battles against other creatures in that time.
He used magic to cause havoc and destruction, erasing entire civilizations and species from the Earth. Mortina and Akasha would send him to erase whatever creation of theirs they grew bored with.
But that's just how his end came. Mortina grew angry with Akasha winning all wars against her creations because she would just send Xuihcoatl instead of fighting fair, so she descended upon the Earth willing to kill Xuihcoatl. He was so full of himself he thought he might be capable of fighting her, and wished to take on her role, but he didn't stand a single chance in front of the Goddess of Death.
He took this as a betrayal from the goddesses - Mortina intervening directly was cheating. His soul was outraged, and unable to move on. By anger alone he remained, lingering in between the realms of life and death, even long after any soul would have faded into nothingness.
Lastly, here's some added information to reincarnated sphirix (God sphirix pass):
Can grifix reincarnate as another's sphirix?
Technically, a grifix's soul can reincarnate as another grifix's sphirix. But it wouldn't have the shape of a grifix.
Grifix souls actually have animal shapes - that's why sphirix have animal shapes, because sphirix are their souls. In the afterlife, grifix souls will retain the shape of their sphirix (they can sometimes show up looking as their grifix self - as it has been previously mentioned in some stories - but usually they have the shape of their sphirix).
Still, these sphirix stand out from the others. Even as children, the sphirix are unable to change shape, and they sometimes come with fragmented memories of their past lives. In most grifix settlements, they are seen as special children, but rarely given any special rank because the past memories are usually not very relevant or helpful.
If a grifix dies as a child, before having set their sphirix shape, their soul will remain as an animal that can change shape. If such a soul reincarnates as another grifix's sphirix, they will mature together with their grifix and eventually reach a set shape.
This is all for now! Will hopefully return soon with some more, so stay tuned!
