In the Desert and within the Prison are individuals who work on behalf of Chaos and seek to return to the Garden. They are called Vira. The Vira work within a network of gotras. Each gotra is part tribe, part coven and part resistance cell. Through a combination of art, science and magick, the Vira channel and direct a force called Fa.
Fa is flow to the solidity of shama.
Fa dissolves encrustations of shama, which revert to neutral energy that can be converted into Fa. The Vira also tamper with the viral code of the Akitu. Without shama to prepare the way and with the integrity of its viral code compromised, the Akitu can not reproduce itself. The goals of the Vira are to dissolve shama, erase the viral code of the Akitu, reintegrate the Continuum and return to the Garden. The Vira pour water on the sands of the Desert so that the seeds of the Garden may grow and bloom.
