Concept: Rebirth

For Brandarens, rebirth has a special place in their minds; rebirth is not the creation of one thing at the expense of the other, but a moving on. Yes, rebirth can be terrifying, but it can also by beautiful. Rebirth can happen on three levels: the Self, the Existing, and the Conceptual.

Rebirth of the Self

All things that live are reborn– sometimes at a higher level of awareness, sometimes at the same level, but always continuing onward and never stopping. Shards, clinging to the skin of Yonvri within the Deim, are born into Shades, things barely alive within Yonvri; Shades are reborn multiple times until they are reborn into Shadows, Shadows into Spirits, and Spirits, generally, become the Self.

Very few Spirits are reborn as Spirits, but there are a few known cases, one being the Three, who are destined to be reborn forevermore, as they are destined to be afflicted with True Insanity before they die.

Rebirth of the Existing

The Existing are those objects which exist within Yonvri but do not have a Self; these can be as simple as a grain of sand or as complex as a star. Yet the Existing are destined to be reborn the same as the Selfs– destroyed, reformed, and manipulated by the forces of Adall and Arcen, within the rules of Yonvri.

Rebirth of the Conceptual

The Conceptual are Yonvri, Adall, and Arcen. They operate within the bound of Yonvri, yet they are on their own level and possess their own rules. These, too, are born and die, yet this process is occasionally put on hold by the same thing that happened with this rebirth: the birth of a balanced group of Conceptuals.
