Aspect

**Aspects**, also known as **Avatars**, are sapiens created through astral projection which represent a portion of their parent celestial's power and personality. They are given autonomy and have a comparatively much smaller physical form to accommodate personal interaction with the inhabitants of Harmonara. Together they comprise a pantheon known as the **Sixteen Aspects**, which comprise one or more aspect of each coloration within the anima spectrum. Each aspect has one or more domain, which reflect their specialized abilities.

There are three distinct generations of the aspects, with the first generation being the most powerful. The aspects are worshipped by various organizations around the world which have formed religions around them, being the most prominent form of religion throughout the world during the AGS eras. The aspects presence throughout the world has directly affected the animals, sapiens, and plants within a nearby radius of where they currently reside, increasing the probability of them sharing the aspect's coloration upon birth.

Direct interventions in the affairs of sapiens by aspects are fairly rare throughout the timeline, as they generally prefer to manipulate the world around them through more subtle means. Much like revarin, they are capable of form shifting and can take on any appearance they desire. Most often their standard appearance is in the shape of their favored sapien species, combined with their favored animal. For example, Stellarus usually resembles a masculine zalthiri with some traits of a phoxin.

## History

### **Era of Empires**

During the Era of Empires in 282 AGS, Sanguara was the first celestial to send an aspect to Harmonara when Hakairo arrived on the planet and settled on what then became known as Ruby Isle. Hakairo proceeded to create the Edge of Domination which culminated in the Summer of Storms. Ohashi Worldbreaker became the first claimant of the first discovered artifact, utilizing it in his conquest of fellow orcana and creation of the First Ikkaran Empire.

Fifty-four years later in 336 AGS, Iyuziya was sent within a close proximity of the planet by Argenara and had created the Phasing Heartpiercer, casting it out near the outskirts of Mikolyvia in an attempt to alter the cultural development of the hikaree and ultimately cater towards their eventual planned settlement of Vrozneir. The artifact was eventually claimed by Nikita Makarov, who was similarly able to utilize the blade in 343 AGS during his campaign to assimilate the entirity of his homeland into the Empire of Vrozneir during the Conquest of Vrozneir.

### **Era of Dragons**

During the Era of Dragons in 397 AGS, Jefuhluz arrived in orbit on behalf of Sapphara and continued the trend of aspects meddling in the growth of sapiens, directing the Drowning Tidesblade into the Lustrous Ocean off the coast of what would eventually become known as Razunka. Six years later it would be discovered by Razun Dietrich, who would slowly carve out his own territory one decade later during the Dragon Wars. While the Kaiser ultimately claimed Razunka and most surrounding islands including the Turquoise Isles, he remained unable to expand north into Azurlon.

### **Era of Chaos**

During the Era of Chaos in 626 AGS, Solara and Lunara became the second and third celestials respectively to create an aspect during the Second Alignment. Believed to be in response to the creation of Hakairo, the Sun and Moon sent Stellarus and Lustrela respectively to take a more direct influence in the developing zalthri civilizations. The two initially settled upon the Celestial Isles, though within the following year had already moved outward toward Zalthria to be closer towards the majority of the zalthiri population. Ultimately, it led to more polarization between solars and lunars, with warring over borders being a common during the rest of the era.

Ninety-five years later in 721 AGS, Harmonara was the fourth celestial to manifest the aspect during the Prizmatic Proclamation, which began as a result of Hakairo revealing Harmonara to be a dormant celestial and the subsequent bloodshed which resulted from the revelation on a global scale. Kozmori managed to return the planet to some level of peace through participating in negotiations with world leaders. The sunderforge artifacts were entrusted to sapiens who would become known as the first Shrinekeepers, with the intention of allowing the various countries to more easily engage in mutually beneficial trade and travel through the wayshrines.

### **Era of Unification**

During the Era of Unification in 1955 AGS, the Unyielding began to refer to the pantheon as the Seventeen Aspects, as members within the organization believe the Allborn to be on equal level with the aspects in terms of power and importance, which is generally considered to be heretical by adherents to other religions and is not recognized by the Harmonic Accords.
