The Jade Throne
The Jade throne is affiliated with forces which tend towards ordering the material state, called Atoma Rho in Chora. While this notion is meaningless outside of the study of metaphysics, Jade is most commonly associated with the concept of 'Life'.
Jade forces tend to be hierarchical, direct, and materialist. At their worst, Jade Numena is like a cancer, swiftly growing and manifesting into physical forms, and cathecting easily onto other matter, quickly establishing whatever form of organization suits their Aspect best. Highly stable, developed Numenous systems tend to accrete into one being, willingly sacrificing their material forms to create vast fungal networks, interconnected forests, hives, or horrifying, undulating masses of flesh, stone, and vegetable matter.
However, because Jade Numena bonds easily to itself, Jade Fiends can quickly become stable and highly intelligent at the same time they become large and powerful. Just like living creatures, this intelligence may be expressed as atavistic and canny, creative and tactical, or even sagacious and gentle (when sated).
Jade Numena is dangerous because it functions like an intelligent plague, capable advancing swiftly like a scourge of locusts, and as difficult to exterminate as a virus. If unable to be bested in force of arms, Jade's only weakness is its' rigid obedience to its' own laws. Exposed to their banes or outwitted on their own terms, a Jade Fiend may be left only to impotently sulk, unable to do aught to stop their quarry from strutting right out of the situation, whistling merrily. However, Numena is perpetually in flux, and Jade is excellent at evolving. The other thrones are Brass (Creation), Shale (Entropy), Coral (Impulse), Gold (War), Glass (Intellect) and Lead (Absence and balance of all other forces.)

Power has a natural tendency to accumulate.
