Faction Template: Sardonyx Legion - For the Lode

[Ves]

Faction: Safyrants
Order: Any

Pillars:
Central: For the Lode.
Any creature with enough exposure to Sardonyx Radiation eventually is drawn to the radiation like a magnet. The Lode, the largest concentration of radiation on Vescrutia is said to exist somewhere, a remnant of the Sardonyx Meteor, and those afflicted with the radiation will do whatever they can to find it.
Contrast: "I can't control it!"
There is an incessant, nagging feeling resonating within the radiation. It can grow from a low whisper to a roaring screech that takes over their minds and bodies. They are drawn to the Lode by any means necessary...

Stellar: Sardonyx Comet - Locked in orbit around the Vescrutian system is a comet made of a metal foreign to Vescrutia. As it crossed the Vescrutian sky, colliding with other celestial shrapnel shears chunks of the comet and sends them occasionally raining down on the surface. They fall in different sizes and radiative intensities and have the distinct effect of driving most creation mad with energy, sending them into a wild, high-powered frenzy. It’s a dire affliction that eats away at their bodies and minds, drawing them like a magnet to other sources of Sardonyx Radiation with little recourse for the impressible.

There have been reports of individuals utilizing Sardonyx Radiation while coherent, but those reports are as of yet unsubstantiated. As such, most Legionnaires live tragically short lives once the radiation becomes too much for the body to retain, reducing them to respective ash.
