Trochon Aius

The Trochon Aius (also known as The Cult of the Wheel, The Ring of Oblivion, or The Verdantists) is one of the oldest and most well-established cults in the Llysian religious system . This cult devotes itself to the cyclical aspect of the Sophos: that any sort of end brings about the beginning of something else. Their beliefs are highly philosophical and somewhat shrouded in mystery, which leads to the (incorrect) popular perception of its adherents as "death cultists", a view especially popular outside of Llysos itself. Followers of the Trochon Aius are regularly involved in professions that dead with life or death, such as undertakers, executioners, butchers, farmers, doctors, and midwives.
The Trochon Aius is also widely known for their production of the Tears of Oblivion, a deadly poison, used in their practice of ritual sacrifice.

===The Eternal Wheel===
The Eternal Wheel is a central principle to the Trochon Aius. The 'wheel' itself serves as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of all things: not only living, physical things - as the cultists believe in palingenisia (reincarnation, basically) - but also concepts, systems, events, and even the universe itself. To the Trochon Aius, nothing is ever truly destroyed, but its functional end allows something new to come about.
Almost paradoxically, the Trochon Aius also concerns itself heavily with eschatological philosophy, as discussed below. The existence of The Eternal Wheel does not mean that things do not end: people die, objects are destroyed, and (as the cult believes) the universe itself will 'complete'. However, it will be neither the first nor last times those things have come to pass.
