Warbodies the vessels of the divine, and the resource mined from there remains.

Warbodies are the avatars or vessels of the divine that they possessed to interact with the world. The divine creed forbids all ascended divine from interacting directly with the world because their raw power poses a threat to its balance as well as to the hierarchy. These vessels or artificial bodies are theorized to be created completely out of a small portion of the power of the divine. These vessels can and do take on many forms and shapes. Every divine's war body is authentically different from one another. It is theorized that the divines will or consciousness enters a warbody allowing them to puppet it. Their consciousness are able to jump from vessel to vessel. Though it's likely that this is only a small part of their overall will or mind. It has been theorized that the killing of these divine bodies and destruction of parts of the divines will take a toll on their consciousness. Though abandoned warbodies have been located in secure areas the individuals who found them have reported saying that besides the size they are largely unimpressive looking like a featureless form of marble or other such completely white material. Destroyed war bodies cover the planet looking like odd-shaped rocks or other structures many from forgotten or abandon divine who was fell during the three divine wars. Them being the Divinity Wars, the wars of ascension, and the wars of lost trust. All these wars had the divine fighting among each other the ascension wars marking the last divine war fought on the planet between the divine alongside their followers. The Ascension wars resulted in The Celestial Legion becoming the victors being made up of three or more pantheons who brought the other divine in line by blade or by heel. Those that refused to bend the knee were exiled imprisoned or destroyed. Many of their bodies still litter the planet's surface. Though the divine are extremely hard to kill and many of their shattered wills still affect and interact with the world even to this day they are called the whispering lords/gods. Still worshiped by certain groups and organizations around the world. The abandoned War bodies seem to be made of some form of ossified, lapidified, or petrified material later discovered to be some form of solidified chroma. Though unlike the chroma of the mortal races that of the divine seem to be purer and more potent. The educated have come to call this material Agradium.
Agradium has unique properties which is the reason it is mined throughout the world. These properties have been found to be extremely beneficial to society and the development and powering of new technologies. This material was found to be able to be used by casters to replenish their spent chroma reserves. Completely removing the need for them to expose themselves to the bright and its dangers and effects. It's one of a couple of main ingredients used in the ritual of ascension enacted to increase a caster's chroma reserve. Its role in the ritual and other such ingredients is a secret held by caster organizations. It was also used by religious and other such groups in their rituals and traditions. In modern times Agradium is used as an illicit drug in the category of drugs called the Sacraments. Its consumption allows one to commune with the divine who formed it. Though it is largely mined to be used as a fuel source to power patterns that control buildings, cities, and vessels alike. Agradium is one of a couple of power sources that has allowed the world to modernize and enter into the industrial age it is in today.

Cultural Reception

Many groups or individuals have come to worship at the remains of the abandoned warbodies. Enacted and preforming long set and held rituals. With the mining of Agradium conflict between the companies and the worshipers have risen. These often ending in blood shed and loss of life.
