The Principles

The Principles are deities bound to the march of society. When a significant societal development is made, a respective Principle is bound to it and is said to be illuminated. The illuminated Principle makes an object significant to the development into it's earthly vessel. The object becomes indestructible and untarnishing and it will bind itself to the possessor of the object making them the representative of the Principle in the prematerial.

Principles are not however brought into being through these developments they have existed eternally as part of the amorphous Pénumina, a shadowy eldritch divinity of the unknown.

The Principles reside in the Hours each ruling over an Hour, a divine household.

In Marcaille the Principles are divided into those that are revered; the Sidereal Principles; and those that are not; the Temporary Principles.
