☀️ THE SERAPH CHOIR ☀️

⚜️ FACTION HISTORY

The Seraph Choir — also known as The Bright Circle — was formed by the first ten angels of the Father of Light, Abrihael. Originally intended as the vessel of Light’s perfection upon the world, the Choir became both recursion anchor and political ruler over the Seraveth.

Throughout the Ashwake and Golden Eras, the Choir maintained dominance, surviving the First Betrayal and the Second Sundering. Though several seats are now lost or recursion-bound, the Choir still holds absolute authority over the Council-State of the Seraveth.

The Choir’s current leader is Michael, The Father’s Voice — the last active Choir member to directly remember both Abrihael and the Void Mother.

Internally, the Choir is plagued by rising recursion corruption and fragmented loyalty, particularly as Michael’s obsession with Maesa’s bloodline — and Allan — threatens to destabilize the Circle.

🏛️ FACTION STRUCTURE

The Seraph Choir consists of ten permanent seats, originally held by the first angels of Abrihael. These seats govern both political rule and recursion supremacy within Seraveth society.

Below are the current known seats and statuses:

• 1st Seat (Crown of Light): Abrihael → Dormant / Wandering
• 2nd Seat (The Father’s Voice): Michael → Active | Current Choir Leader
• 3rd Seat (The Crownless One): Kaelvyrn → Fallen | Publicly stripped; fate remains influential
• 4th Seat (The Hand of Dawn): Saeriel → Active | Field commander
• 5th Seat (The Mirror Warden): Zarahel → Active | Internal recursion enforcer
• 6th Seat (The Silent Radiant): Uriathen → Recursion-Trapped | Ghost voice still heard
• 7th Seat (The Wing of Judgment): Thavriel → Active | Political / propaganda arm
• 8th Seat (The Blade of Purity): Elzahar → Active | Personal bodyguard to Michael
• 9th Seat (The Breath of Light): Serathen → Lost | Void contamination suspected
• 10th Seat (The Heart of Crown): Amathiel → Active | Ritual recursion master

🜛 CURRENT POWER AND ROLE

The Choir holds absolute authority over the Seraveth Council-State and oversees all major recursion research and military operations. Its members are worshipped as avatars of Light’s Will by many Seraveth factions.

The Choir’s influence shapes the political landscape of Aethros through both visible governance and recursion manipulation.

Its rule is increasingly challenged by internal recursion corruption and the resurgence of Void-aligned figures such as Allan and Kaelvyrn.

🌟 KNOWN RITUALS & CEREMONIES

• The Light Spiral Rite: Reinforces recursion stability within the Choir’s reach
• The Radiant Ascension: Ceremony for ascending recursion-touched initiates into Choir ranks or agents
• The Circle Vigil: Performed at each cycle’s zenith; used to reaffirm loyalty to Abrihael and the Choir
• The Judgment Flame: Ritual execution of declared heretics and Void-aligned threats

⚔️ FACTION RELATIONSHIPS

• Kaelvyrn: Deeply hated; his fall is an eternal scar on the Choir’s history
• Maesa Bloodline (Allan, Karolisse, Belle): Officially marked for containment/destruction → Michael’s obsession with Allan is a dangerous open secret
• Hollow Compass: Viewed as dangerous recursion heretics; targeted actively
• Driftline: Regarded with suspicion; historical recursion influence is seen as both useful and threatening
• Deck of Threads: Feared → uncontrolled recursion factors outside Choir control; often the subject of covert suppression attempts
• Shaden & Kazmund: Deeply distrusted; Kazmund’s evasion and Shaden’s open mockery are tolerated only due to political necessity
