Dufirosim

[[Dufirosm Revision]]  '''''<big>The new and improved Dufiro page</big>'''''

Among the diverse realms that battle and bounce off Chaos is a section of porous realms called the '''''Lands of Flux and Shadow'''''.  Millions of worlds at various levels of technology and sophistication have interlocking paths and communication.  Intershadow Commerce, tourism, and warfare are common.  In amongst these shadows is the collection of realms called the '''''Dufirtrusa'''''.  It is a series of diversely interlocking realms of beings able to channel great powers of shadow and the elements.  In their own realms they live in various manners as delights their kind.  And their delights vary from perverse to sublime.

One thing is that they are in a nexus of power that allows them to be summoned to places beyond their realms, and make bargains to trade power for powers.  They can be bound and used willingly under the terms of detailed agreements or bound by force. 

The Dufirosim are regularly summoned from their native realms to millions of other realms, including Chaos where they are often bound involuntarily. 

*It should also be clearly noted that as a race, the Dufirosim are not inherently good or evil any more then most races in shadow.  Considerations of Good or Evil are only applicable individually as in many other races.  While, greedy, arrogant, and careful of their reputation, the majority of the Dufirosm are generally benevolent. 



=='''Races of the Dufirosm'''==
The races of the Dufirosm are varied and change often.  What is below is a sampling of the major races and transitions among the species.  These are examples of what might be considered major stereotypes. 

There are seven Dufirosm languages used for summoning, bargaining, binding and for magical spells.  These are'''''Vomos''''' or '''''Common''''',   '''''Gorbash''''', '''''Releck''''', *'''''Nethak''''', '''''Halta''''','''''Nona''''', '''''Kolbashic'''''.

==='''Elementals'''===

Elementals live in realms of purish energy with little or simple intelligence.  From animal to low human intelligence.  They gain intelligence and advancement to Spirit form by existing for periods under bound service or trading their efforts in their elemental forms.  This is why they are easy to bind.  As they gain separate sentience, away from their elemental power they gain in their abilities.

The children of Dufiro by many different races on occasion gain elemental powers.  If they gain enough power they may transition to the elemental form.

|}

==='''Spasa or Spirits'''===
Officially named Spasa, the term Spirits is the common usage even among Dufiro.

These creatures have gained sufficient awareness to have needs and greeds.  As they advance the experiences that developed them from elementals to spirits gave them passions. These passions are expressed in their differentiation.  They develop singularly for a time but when they develop they may shift to other spirit forms many times before rising to the Avasa Dufirosim.  Spirits often are more obsessed with their singular devotion then Avasa or Masoja are because they have a focus without greed or ambition. [[Commentary on Dufiro]]

==='''Illuminar'''===

Illuminars are a special subset of Dufiro.  They are considered specialist and stand outside the usual definitions of race.  Illuminars are special cases.  The Illuminars have their own ways.  Many of the rules that refrain and define other Dufiro do not effect the Illuminars.  

There are three ranks of Illuminar.
*'''Al Asgo Illuminar''': The first Illuminar rank.  It allows them access to special libraries and to the other secret places of the Illuminars. It is an extremely rare honor and can only be granted by a handful of great Dufiro.
*'''Trax Asgo Illuminar''':
*'''Primas Illuminar''':These rare creatures stand above all other Dufiro and are granted deference.  These are the leaders and greatest of Dufiro.

==<big>'''Powers and Binding'''</big>==

Each race has powers according to their kind, their experiences, and their racial Paths.  They are testy, opinionated, arrogant, and greedy. 

*Any race of Dufiro-Elemental to Masoja Dufiro- are able to return to their home realm if freed from their binding by destruction of the bound artifact or compilation of the pact.  Holding them against their will in either case is extraordinarily difficult.  A Dufiro fighting for its freedom may attract other of its familiarity, race, or proximity to aid it.  If a Dufiro completes it binding pact it may or may not be willing to renegotiate on the spot but they may require a new summoning. 

*Dufiro bound willingly bargain for specific powers to be used in particular ways. They can manifest small or mighty powers when willingly bound.
*Dufiro bound unwillingly deliver far greater powers but at a price in bitterness toward their binder.

*Artifacts of Dufiro who are willingly bound will behave unpredictably if their bindings are destroyed.  Willing bindings imply an agreement was made and if the artifact is broken they may remain in battle and defend their binder and their agreement.  They may flee to their home realms.

*Elementals are generally without ambition and are bound unwillingly.  When the item they are bound to is destroyed they instantly return to their home world.

*Spirits or ''Spasa'' are easy to bind, as are Elementals,  However if the item they are bound to is destroyed they may take a quick attempt to harm their former master before fleeing to their home realms.

*A common  property bargained for with a binding for Avasa and Masajoa Dufiro is to provide permanence and structural strength, up to indestructibility, to otherwise fragile items.

*Terms of any bargain will be strictly maintained.  It is one of the primary distinction that a Dufiro does not want a reputation for having broken their word. 

==='''Dufirosim Languages'''===
The Dufirosim can learn any language but can only establish bargains in their native tongue.  The details of the bargains made and the powers received are too extensive to catalog.  
There are 7 languages among the Dufirosim.  The languages are in themselves intrinsically magical.  Spells can be performed using the language alone.  There is evidence to believe that the dispersal of the languages somehow relate to the proximity of the races regions of origin in the original realms of the Dufirosim.

The 7 languages are Vomos or Common, Gorbash, Releck, Nethak, Halta, Nona, and Kolbashic.

*'''''Vomos''''' or '''''Common''''' is spoken by all Dufiro conversationally though most Dufiro speak Thari and other chaos languages.  Elementals understand Vomos at birth and as they gain power learn to speak it.  Its like a baby language.
*'''''Gorbash''''' is a Spirit Language spoken by the less powerful spirits races.  It is also a frequently used Dufiro conversational language.
*'''''Releck''''' is a spirit Language for upper power spirits.
*'''''Nethak''''' is an Avasa language for first race choices as well as medium power races. 
*'''''Halta''''' is an Avasa Language.
*'''''Nona'''''  is a Masoja language often for first Masoja races. 
*'''''Kolbashic''''' is a Masoja language used by the most powerful races.  

===='''Languages and Magic Use'''====
While all Dufirosim languages are inherently magical many magical systems across shadow use Dufirosim languages.
*'''''Vomos''''' or Common is an inherently magical language but magical systems that use it for spell casting are very weak having less power then a magical language that causes cantrips to work. 
*'''''Gorbash''''' is frequently the language that powers Cantripy. It is also used for rituals cast by non-dedicated ritualists.  This is considered plebian by most practiconers for good reasons. Think of it as spells that are taught in magazines to non-spell casters.  [[Hexery]] and [[Continualism]] uses Gorbash in many shadows.  
*'''''Releck''''' is used in many Low Order Magical systems for low level spells.  First through fourth circles.  Relek is also nearly always what all spells in the Illusionist Spell systems uses.
*'''''Nethak''''' is used by many Low Order magical systems for medium spells in the fourth to tenth level circles.  [[Listry]] spell systems of Essence and Channelling use Nethak.
*'''''Halta''''' is used in many Low Order magical systems for mighty spells above the tenth circle.  It is also used in many High Order Magical systems for simple high order, non-offensive magics.  Some High Order Power Words use Halta. [[Listry]] Mentalism spells useHalta.  
*'''''Nona''''' is used for High Order Magic systems. It is a commonly used language for invasive power words.
*'''''Kolbashic''''' is used for High Order magical systems for powerful spells.  Kolbashic is an extremely complicated language and all Dufiro respond to it. It is almost always used as an attack language or a dispelling language.

==='''Summoning, Names and Tomes'''===
Each Dufiro has true name.  From the youngest of elemental to the most ancient of Masoja they all have a name of power by which they can be summoned, called, and bound.    These names and the rituals to summon them are written into intrinsically non-magical tomes.  Since the increase of power and prestige is based on experience the Dufiro desire to be summoned though the details are myriad.  Most tomes include the ritual circle that will create a barrier to harm the summoner and protect the dufiro from harm.  The details in this are vast.
====Names====
*Personal Name:  This is a name used conversationally and when used the individual does not know. 
*Conversational Name: This is the name used socially.  Primarily it references a Dufiro's current race: Sylex of Rot, Tinsanax of Health, Cuso of Fire.  However, in conversation a previous race might be mentioned if one wanted to speak to the expertise gained in that race and uses a rank shortening;Ava Sylex of Motion, Maso Tinsanax of Carnality, Ava Cuso of Blending.  The shortenings are Ela, Spa, Ava, Maso, & Illum.
**Referencing Rank: Conversationally rank is not mentioned except for a serious use, then its used in conjuntion to the race mentioned: Sylex of Rot, Tinsanax of Health, Cuso of Fire.
*Calling Name:  This is a relatively short name that will attract the attention of the dufiro across vast distances.  It is like requesting a meeting. The Dufiro is not compelled to answer.  It is considered rude amongst dufiro to use the calling name casually since once spoken the dufiro's attention is briefly taken.  This leads to what non-dufiro races might consider a nervous tick, as the dufiro might pause briefly in a conversation when the name is spoken millions of shadows away.
*Summoning Name: This is a main portion of a Dufiro's book.  When spoken correctly it can summon the Dufiro into the presence of the speaker.  Much care is taken by summoners to create circles of protect.
*Binding Name: This name longer then the summoning name but is nearly always included in the tome.  It is the Name that must be used to bind the dufiro to an item.  If used after a bargain has been struck the reading of the name is simple.  If the binding is unwilling the dufiro will fight it from its summoning circle and it often is a battle of wills, psyche, and powers, to bind the dufiro.

====Tomes====
The writing of tomes is a vitally important cultural element of Dufiro society.  If the crux of Dufiro society iis advancement then the tome is the sign a dufiro wishes to advance. A ritualist with the tome may study it till they can intone the name perfectly to summon the dufiro.  A dufiro will have a summoning book for each race though summoning a dufiro with a tome for a lesser race of its path is dangerous.  Think of a Tome as their business card.  Think of the tome as a resume.  

A tome will include many things. It will include all 4 of their names.  It will include the powers one might gain by binding them.  It will include their adventures.  It includes their unbound powers.  It may inclue their equipment.  It may include food and drink prefferances and preferences of many different kinds as clues for what to offer them. 

===Reputation===
As can be seen the races of the Dufiro are potent creatures as allies, enemies, bound willingly or unwillingly.  Their reputation is usually very important since it may lay heavily on their chances of being allowed a Race ritual.  It reflects on their offspring and attracting mates.  It may effect their admittance to various associations.  

Lastly, it tells how reliable and trustworthy they are.  Threatening a Dufiro's reputation is a serious matter.

==Powers==

=='''Methods of Propagation'''==
Dufiro breed in a variety of methods.
==='''Standard Method'''===
Dufiro who breed among themselves generate an Elemental offspring. The form will be one of the base elemental forms of the breeding pair.  Usually these are motivated by one or both parents to transition quickly to other forms, usually spirit forms.  However, in some unions, of two through 4 parents, their may be a desre for the child to experience several elemental forms as a basis for their future developments.
==='''Isolated Method'''===
Some Dufirosim may generate sufficient elemental energy to separate enough to create an elemental form.   This form of budding  creates an elemental form that the parent once passed through though usually they have little control over which form unless the budding is managed by Avavsa or Masoja skilled in such things.
==='''Inter-species Breeding'''===
Dufiro may copulate with a host form which will create one of two outcomes. Either a full elemental form, or a native form of the mother with a deep connection to the element form of the father.  
*If the resultant form fully generates as a Elemental it begins its ''Path'' as normal.
*If the resultant form does not generate initially and retains the maternal form it will have an affiliation to the elemental form of the father.  This connection to the elemental for may pass down many generations, each birth starting with a different resonance to the element, usually starting near the level of the parent.  In this manner the line of a Dufiro/Native offspring gains elemental connection through its interaction with its element. 

An elemental connection may manifest in many ways in those not raised to the elemental race.  Skills at sculpting, dowsing, localized air purification, are just examples.  

Interbreeding, even over thousands of years, can contribute minute amounts of elemental energy till eventually a member of the line manifests. Three examples of this method are the cases of [[Dowser of Veksvale]], [[Crees of Iron]],[[Cuso of Trendle]] and [[Buckle of Dowten]]

===='''Dowser'''====
[[Dowser of Veksvale]] was the offspring of a Dufiro of a Masoja Dufirosim of Water.  The line was unknown to the Dufiro as the initial coupling was casual.  Over several thousand years the line gathered elemental energy, manifesting as a fondness for water occupations, till eventually enough energy was retained by the Child Dowser to allow his powers to rise to the level of an infant Water Elemental. Recently raised to Spirit of Water, then Avasa of Water

===='''Crees of Iron'''====
[[Crees of Iron]] was a warrior in a long line of warriors with the infusion of elemental powers of earth gained by inclusion of a Masoja Dufirosim of Strength. 
===='''Cuso of Trendle '''====
[[Cuso of Trendle]] was the great-grandson of an Avasa Dufiro of Fire.  He and his father, and grandfather were all chefs at Oberon's Fire.   Cuso, when in his 70's fell into the great fire of Oberon's Fire.  Immersion in the elemental fire generated by the Jewel of Judgment brought Cuso into the Elementals of Fire race, and at a great enough level that he was almost immediately attended by Avasa Dufiro in the Paths of Fire.

===='''Buckle of Dowten'''====
[[Buckle of Dowten]] was one in a long line established by a Masoja Dufirosim of Change.  The line was over 500 years old and had long been famous alchemists and sorcerers although Buckle was not raised by the well-known public family but was rather a unexpected illegitimate offspring.

==='''Inhabitation or Possession'''===
If a creature is inhabited by a Avasa or Masoja and then participates in a Ritual of Inclusion, the creatures attains the Race initiated.   This method is rare and a source of anger by many of the Dufiro.  '''[[Nur al Din El musifar]] ''' is an example of this kind of propagation.  This is not always a voluntary event.

=='''Advancement & the Race Ritual'''==
When dealing with Dufiro vital aspects to understand is their '''Path''' and their current '''Race'''.

*Elementals may be elevated to Spirit Race.  They have no ability to advance themselves. They are a larval stage for Dufirosim.  Once an elemental achieves Spirit Race. They may never have more then two races unless one of the 4 elemental is transformed to a Change Elemental. 
*All other Dufiro may apply to the Ritual of Race at any time of their choosing though their success is not assured.  Having failed a ritual it is unlikely the attempt will be made again directly to the same race.
*Rituals are meant to display dedication to embracing the new race.
==='''Advancement'''===
Advancement is the crux of Dufiro society.  Nearly everything they do is aimed at advancement.  Gaining new powers.  Learning new skills.  Gaining powerful artifacts.  Gaining powerful allies and patrons.  Creating a power base of loyal followers.  

When a dufiro bargains, either for themselves, and ally, or an underling, it is to gain aspects that will make them a more attractive candidate for a new Race.  Once the Dufiro applies to a new race they are granted the right to attempt a race ritual.  Who approves the attempt varies by species.

==='''Paths'''===
*Each Dufiro has had its own life path toward power.  Each has unique experiences.  The Life Path of A Dufiro can be compared to scholastic advancement.  They start as '''Elementals-''kindergartners'''''. Enter '''Spirit''' races as '''''elementary''''' and '''''middle schoolers'''''.  '''Ava Dufiro''' equate to '''''High School''''' and '''''College'''''.  '''Masoja Dufirosm''' equal '''''graduate''''' and '''''doctorate levels'''''. 

The more races in one's path the more powerful the dufiro is likely to be.  Once they move from elemental to spirit, spirit to Avasa, Avasa to Masoja, it is highly unlikely they will add lower races though it is not impossible.

==='''Examples of Path'''===
*'''Uzgata of Rage and War''' ''Reggie'': Elemental of Fire,Spirit of Combat , Spirit of Fire , Spirit of Rot, Avasa Dufiro of Rage, Avasa Dufiro of Conflict, Avasa Dufiro of Fire:, Masoja of War, Masaja of Rage
**Uzgata has been angry vengeful creature since he took the Spirit of Combat.  He initiated a violent uprising that ravaged the territories of numerous Avavsa on the home world of a Knowledge D and was punished by being confined as a Spirit of Rot.  Afterwards he was courted by the evil oriented Avavsa and masojas and became a violent bounty hunter of dufirosim.
*Tustrala of Change: Elemental of Air and Change. Spirit of Blending, Change, Cleanliness, and Paper. Avasa of Cleanliness, Blending, and Knowledge.  Masoja of Binding and Knowledge.Friend of Fortunadus, one bound to him in the battles verses the Ravers.
*Agdilas, Spirit of Blending:  Elemental of Earth.  Spirit of Growth, Rot, Paper, Earth, and Blending.  
**A protege of Trustrala
**Choose to take the race of Rot as an addition to her skills in growth, and blending. Having chosen to take the race many in the race revere her.  She barely avoided being elected to the Council of Rust by taking the race of Paper.
**Expert in the production of powders.  Especially in the production of [[Paradoxian Melange]]
=='''Professions'''==
It is often lost on sorcerers, wizards, ritualists, and historians across shadow who deal with the Dufiro that while diverse and powerful the Dufirosm often live out lives of their own interests when not involved with outsiders.  They often forget or ignore that dufiro have their own interests and passions unless it matters in the terms of a bargain. These interests reflect what dufirosm call their '''''Professions'''''.

While the raising of levels is a driving force for Dufiro it is best to understand that many rise on a few times in a lifetime.  Most never rise beyond Spasa.  Even fewer become Masoja.  To live their lives, eat, and provide for whatever family they may develop is their professions.  It has been said that Work is Work and thats true among the Dufiro.  But many races are driven by their professions. 

Dufiros are a creative people.  Artisians on many levels.  And they sell their arts.

((More on this as I think about it.))

=='''Dufiro Bands and Associations'''==
In a race comprised of so many diverse elements and with such a preponderance of trade, barter,, binding agreements both willing and unwilling, and with so many ruling bodies among each distinct race its understandable that groups and individuals would assemble for mutual benefits.  Patronage is an extremely common practice among the Dufiro.  Advancement being so tied to merit and experience groups band together for many reasons.  It would be impossible to list the number of such associations for such a large population.  Rituals and abilities are shared, traded, stolen, and created in these groups with the higher ups usually understanding that the advancement of even the lowest of their members brings prestige, power and opportunity to all.

Below are listed a few well know groups and some examples of smaller groups.  Some terminology should be clarified.  Many of these terms are interchangeable but some refer to specific arrangements among members.

===Band:===
A group assembled with the idea of mutual assistance and defense in promoting the advancement of all members.  Usually small groups.  Often military.
*'''''The Regalada Band''''':This is a Warband lead by three Dufiro. Raga of Warfare, Dalquis of Rage, and Galada of Strength.  They have a variety of Masajoa and Avasa Dufiro who run individual Packs.  A common Masoja Pack might be led by a Masoja of Warfare, and include 3 Avasas of conflict, a Avasa of Rage, a number of Combat Spirits, a number of fire or air spirits, some staff spirits like Cleanliness, blending and Guard.  A large number of elementals.  
===Pack:===
Usually a small subset of a large group that acts as a unified body for particular services.  Most often as War packs or Growing packs.
*'''Green Fur Packs''':  These are a common pack grouping of warriors.  A Green Fur Pack includes 5 Spasa of Combat, 2 Spasa of Defense, 2 Spasa of Guard. 1 Spasa of Speed.  Each group also will have some support Spasa. A Spasa of Clelanliness as a healer.  A Spasa of Blending as a cook.  Most packs will have a Spasa of either Fire or Earth that control up to 10 of their type of Elementals. 
===Assemblage:===
A group assembled for mutual advancement of all members.  usually a large or regional group.
===Knot:===
Usually a small band that participates in activities together. 
*'''Chip Knot:''' a small group led by Chipoxata, a Masoja of Earth, known as ''Chip''.  Includes a Cleanliness spasa named Crumble.  
===Tower:===
This type of group is lead by a ruling clique or individual and has a strictly structured form for the members below the ruling body. Usually a large group. 
**'''Tower of Blades''': A Warrior tower dominated by Combat masoja. 
===Hall:===
Halls are places where Dufiro gather for various reasons.  Think of them like Bars with themes like sports bars, seaside taverns, ski chalets.  Or fraternitay lodges like Elks lodges or Eagles lodges.  Or Clubs like poetry cafes or dance clubs for people of similiar interests.  Mostly they are not limited to one race but the more detailed the hall the more likly a secluded clientele.
*Doraal Red Hall:  A sex club
*The Hall of Deep Sadness:  Mostly Sadness or despair oriented races.
*Hall of Heroes.

===Brotherhood:===
===Fealty band:===
This is a gathering of Dufiro, under a powerful individual.  Usually a warrior band. 
**'''Shantranixix:''' A complicated and political large fealty band with several notable members under the leadership of '''Shantranixix Agfala'''.  Known members include Crizacraxix Galxata and Traxalaxax.
===Chamber:===
Usually a Regional body for anyone native to the region.  This kind of group can be appealed to if a member has issues in whatever other groups they participate.
===Clan:===
Often initially a regional group many clans become quite large spanning many worlds and many races.  Most clans become umbrella for many smaller groups.  Some Clans are very influential across the Dufirosm worlds.
===Clique:===
Usually a small group that controls or rules a larger group.
===Cabal:===
A arrangement between individuals regardless of membership in other groups

Ahyk is one of the largest and most accessible worlds in the Dufirtrusa.  The Jeweled Road does not reach it but a great many Black Zone worlds have commerce and interactions with it.

The population of the world and its assorted connected shadows is hard to estimate.  40 billion dufiro is a reasonable estimate.  80 billion non-dufiro is a reasonable number as well and represents both native non-dufiro and visitors for business and pleasure.

====Currency in Ahyk====
The Adabalb is the standard currency in Ahyk.  It is a cube of magnetic balls the size of BBs: steel balls that measure 4.3–4.4 mm in diameter and 0.33–0.35 g in weight.  They magnetize to a total 216 peas.

The currency structures is in 6s.  
*6 Hadals = 1 Adab
*6 Adabs (36 Hadals)=1 Sheyev (pronounced sh-ey-v)
*6 Sheyev= 1 Adabalb

===='''Business in Eldesyr'''====
The majority of booths are in the open air, covered with types of fabric for different weathers.  Some booths are open oto the air.  Many buildings provide work spaces, resteraunts shops, an permanent businesses.
