ETHOS

Ethos is the unique power possessed by the inhabitants of Eryndal, a force that grants individuals the ability to harness supernatural energies.

The nature of one's Ethos is deeply influenced by the nation of their birth or grew up with, with each region bestowing distinct powers upon its people, shaping their potential and abilities in extraordinary ways

SOURCE OF ETHOS

The source of Ethos is the Soul, the very core of one's existence.

From a metaphysical perspective, the soul is the singular, defining essence of a person, it is what breathes life into the body and gives shape to their being.

Without a soul, a living creature cannot exist.

Basically, the source of Ethos is the human essence, also known as the soul.

The soul absorbs the essence and energy of the nation it inhabits, and from this connection, it manifests unique abilities that reflect the individual's beliefs, values, and the ideals of the land they call home.

These abilities are the embodiment of both personal and cultural identity, forged from the soul's alignment with the world around it.

The power can be understood as an expression of the soul, viewed through a philosophical lens and in accordance with the law of identity, which asserts that each individual is singular and unique.

However, this identity is shaped by both the forces that created them and the environment in which they were raised.

Consequently, the essence of one's being, and the identity formed by these influences, is the source of the power they possess.

META ENERGY

Meta energy serves as the fundamental source of Ethos, acting as the primal force that permeates the universe and connects all living beings.

It is an intangible, universal energy that transcends physical and magical boundaries, existing as the core essence from which all supernatural abilities are derived.

Ethos, being the manifestation of an individual's soul and identity, is made from meta energy, shaping and channeling it into unique abilities.

This synergy between meta energy and personal identity allows each Ethos to be distinct, reflecting the individuality of its wielder.

In this sense, meta energy is not just the fuel but also the underlying framework that enables Ethos to exist, bridging the metaphysical and the personal to create a deeply integrated source of power.

CONDITIONS AND FACTS

1. Inherited Potential

Just as physical and cognitive traits are influenced by genetics, Ethos might have a hereditary component.

Descendants of powerful Ethos users may inherit a greater connection to meta energy, granting them a natural advantage in harnessing and refining their abilities.

2. Dualism 

Dualism is the philosophical fact that Ethos is based on, which basically means that the matter and the mind are two different components. 

Therefore, a state of balance is essential. Emotional turmoil or physical imbalances can disrupt the connection of the soul and the meta energy, while discipline and harmony enhance it.

3. LIMITATION

The soul is inherently perfect, embodying the essence of reason, purpose, and function. It is the core of an individual's identity, the very foundation of their rationale and existence.

In contrast, the physical body is imperfect. Bound by limitations and dependent on the material world, it hinders the full expression and understanding of the soul.

These imperfections create a barrier that makes it challenging for individuals to truly connect with their inner essence, therefore, they cannot reach their soul to become fully powerful.

To fully unlock the potential of their Ethos, one must transcend the physical limitations and establish a deep connection with their soul, harmonizing mind, body, and spirit.
