(Excerpts from observations done by Felari Researcher Kavi Vanapala and an interview with an Aurelian Maintenance Worker)
“The soul is but a delicate tapestry that dictates who we are. An odd string there manages why my fur is brown in one spot while another makes it so I have tufts of white long my collarbone. We may not be able to see it, but many can feel it. A soul is merely a story and map of one’s life.”
“...magic is stored within our souls. There is no defining limit to how much one has but there is definitively a point at which we expend enough to hurt ourselves. Cases appear each day of a new kid joining the field that goes past their level of skill just to end up hurt in the process. A soul is a hard to manage thing since they are nothing but glass cannons, so delicate yet so powerful.”
Artificial Souls
“One could say Aurelians have cracked the code back with their Project Code: Athena. Androids are monstrous machines crafted to aid them in their colonization. Standing at the edge of being able to create life with just your hands can be considered taboo for many while for others, it’s marked up to be progress. What is known is that they will create as many as wanted until the day they bring upon their own demise”
“An artificial soul brings up the controversial question of whether a sentient machine is just like other species. Although we as a people believe in the Binary, our Aurelian beliefs and progress has caused a ruckus every now and then in higher magic circles in the past. Whatever the answer may be, Android themselves think and feel like us. Surely if we were to mass produce our robotic counterparts once again, then maybe we could obtain something much more perfected in the future.”
