Crow listened Howl and then Curious talk and then Sky making her question, Crow then sends telepathically everyone who were already in link;<strong>"Tell our newest guests to drop their mental defense when I knock them so I get them involved in the silent discussion. Also this way they know if I knock in future they know it's me. As I do not plan force you all study my hand sign language."</strong><br/><br/>Once folks had told Crow performs his charm again, a mental knocking occurs and link forms which has additional echo of distant whispers....whispers not done by any of the guests in room according the voices in background which folks could not quite hear. But Crow's voice was clear and booming to their minds;<strong>"Greetings, I am Crow and this is my communicate as I am mute. I am abyssal and so is Widow besides me, I am the guy with dark clothes here in corner with burned off hand."</strong>Once new guests made eye contact Crow made small wave at towards them.<br/><br/>Then Crow speaks to answer Howl's earlier concern;<strong>"I do not plan erect shadowland, but one more crueler punishments what abyssal can suffer is exactly that; conjure shadowland and erect army of hungry ghosts to devour everything what abyssal holds dear or what abyssal likes. May it be animals, people, flowers, anything related to life. I know at least one case scenario where abyssal ignored teachings taught by Neverborn completely, have become a dark guardian for his living family and ignoring deathlords command he stayed protect his family in Hundred Kingdoms from regular bandit raids. In a less than month he faced full wrath from his ignorance in form forming shadowland in area of his home village, hungry ghosts killing everyone and his so much loved family falling dead in his embrace and transforming to undead abominations. The said abyssal, unable bear the pain of loss commited suicide and got his soul send to void where all abyssals souls go when we die. In our oaths we had forsaken bliss of Lethe and we face a permament termination of our souls instead natural reincarnation."</strong><br/><br/>Then to answer Sky's and Howl's concern he continues;<strong>"These punishments are not done by deathlords, but masters who created deathlords; Neverborn. Otherwise said they are primordials who were slain by solars before first age. The created the normal cycle of souls; upon death enter to lethe and reborn anew. But they created no such thing to <em>themselves</em> who were meant to be immortal and forever exchisting in Creation. So there is no bliss or rest for primordial when they are killed, only eternal torment to dream and see nightmares and live agonies of their bodies over and over again. Naturally they all are complete mad and unique expect with single goal and desire; end Creation so they can find permament rest when Creation ends. As Creation itself chains itself on neverborn and keep them exchisting when they should not.<br/><br/>Triggers of these punishment we abyssals call as resonance manifestation and it is build up when we sin against our roles as being destroyers of Creation. Saving a life brings most sin overall and so is creation of life. Minor sins are attacking fellow abyssal, deathlords and other direct agents of neverborn. But we can went off this build up with either making dark prayers, torturing our own bodies during prayer and also specifically meditate and unleash the build up resonance and choose how our punishment manifests. But sometimes this later method backfires."</strong><br/><br/>Crow then adds more privately to Sky;<strong>"Each abyssal exaltation is stored in device known as <em>Celestial Monstrance</em>, it's a device which stores our dark exaltation between incarnations. Also it's device if solar is put in there, the fall of solar to transformation to abyssal is near certain overtime. It's a torture prison which tests your resolve and drains it gradually overtime. Until you make same pledge as all abyssals do and transformation is complete. This device works as arcane link to each abyssal for sorcery and necromancy and so gives deathlord chance locate each abyssal under their command and check their condittion. Or as final form punishment throw phylactery down mouth of void and evaporate the exaltation permamently and so kill abyssal remotely in worst way imagined in Creation. So far no deathlord had done this as no abyssal, not even rebellious loudmouths, had ired them to do so as each abyssal exaltation is highly valuable and each deathlord has specific number of them. Better way for them is just kill abyssal and find new host than that method. <br/><br/>But as Widow became rogue, it shattered it's own phylactery and so I did same so I cannot be tracked and even if I die my exaltation lurks in underworld before it randomly curses someone with my exaltation. A something what I do not wish to occur but it's risk what I must had to take to avoid my former liege finding me easily."</strong>
