The Orison of Silence in Her Name

When She who lives in her name unleashed the three spheres cataclysm on the world before the Lawgivers imprisoned her in the Prison that is Malfeas, much was lost to Creation, many wonders, many enchantments.   This is not one of them, quite the contrary, this word, part of She who lives in her name's name, was unleashed, a resonating fragment of the transcendant word that is her name. This word, this Orison, malevolent like few words could be, escaped from the confinement of Malfeas and lives on, like a disease.   You see, when the three spheres cataclysm occured, one of the things it destroyed was the logic, the laws of nature, that prevented this word, this earworm, from spreading. And so virulent, so extreme in its effects is this word, that when you fall under its contagious influence, you deny reality, and reality denies your very existence. You simply start to fade away over the onset of the disease, until you finally disappear completely, never seen again, after two weeks.   Not normally spread by mundane means, or even common contagion, the disease is spread, in the modern world, only by two things:
  • a martial artist of Citrine Poxes of Contagion Style, employing Feverish Essence Infection or Essence-Shattering Typhoon
  • a mortal worshipper of SWLihn of cult leader or higher rank, or one of her Malfean Viceroys, upon performing a Sorcerous Working of appropriate power. For the purposes of ambition, it is considered ambition 3, no matter who performs the ritual. On successfully performing the working, they can discover the Orison, that is, the word itself. Should they really want to.
  • It is thought that each infected victim helps power She who lives in her name in some small way.
