Judges / Angels

Ordained Servants of the Author

@Judges — called Angels in traditional societies — are beings ordained by the Author of the Mirror-Universe. Their role is to enforce cosmic law and universal principles, acting as the immune system of creation itself. They are not born, but chosen and transformed, becoming something beyond their nativity or race.

All Judges are marked by ethereal yellow eyes that radiate otherworldly light, a permanent sign of ordination. The only known exception is @Adam Steward, whose eyes bear no such glow, rather he keeps his distinct lagoon coloured eyes. His exception exists because he is bound not by the Law of Judges, but by a higher law — the Law of the Herald of the Author, which superimposes over the Judge’s law itself.

Nature of Judges

• Ordination: Any nativity or race can become a Judge. It is the next phase of evolution, bestowed not by effort but by selection.

• Jurisdiction: Every Judge is given a territory to govern — from a nebula to an entire galaxy. Their power scales with the size of their jurisdiction.

• Hierarchy: Rank is not based on order of ordainment, but on the degree of yieldedness to the Author’s will. A Judge may rise or fall in rank depending on their choices.

• Can Lose The Mantle: It is possible for Judges to be removed from their title as Judges through prolonged disobedience or rebellion. They are stripped from their title and backing as a Judge, but keep their power gained and their evolution. However, depending on the level of jurisdiction — and so power — they gained, a mark of Judgement will be placed on their head, and that very power will severely charr, mar, and burn their skin. Making their ethereal yellow eyes turn ethereal red, and level of burning and charring on their skin a representation of their previous rank as a Judge (the more charred and red, the higher ranked).

• Immortality: Judges do not die, even if stripped of their title. But stripped Judges live as diminished beings, marked by judgement, yet still with great power. Their ethereal yellow eyes replaced with ethereal red eyes and charred, burnt, red skin.

Principles and Laws

Judges operate by principles and laws unique to their ordination, just as @Concept Beings operate by the laws of their essence.

• These Judge Laws are not arbitrary; they define how a Judge acts, enforces, and sustains order within their jurisdiction.

• Judge Laws can superimpose over other laws, including those of Concept Beings. For example, a Judge’s authority may negate or override the guarantee that sustains a Concept.

• However, Judges are not omnipotent. All laws — whether of Concepts, Judges, or other entities — remain in tandem with the overarching laws of the Mirror-Universe, which ultimately harmonize under the Author’s design.

This hierarchy of laws ensures a chain of authority: some laws surpass others, but all exist within the same cosmic framework.

General Ranks and Jurisdictions

1. Judges (Angels) – Govern localized domains (e.g., stars, worlds, or nebulae).

   • Example: @King Savlanut, The Patient Judge, whose domain is a nebula known as the King’s Domain.

2. Galactic Judges (Angels) – Govern an entire galaxy, or multiple galaxies.

   • Example: @Shofet, the Ruthless Judge, who holds jurisdiction over the Archi Galaxy.

   • Example: @Esther, the Progressive Judge, also holding galactic dominion over the Archi Galaxy.

3. Supreme Judges (Archangels) – Govern the entire expanding universe. They are the highest tier of ordination.

   • Example: @Sohen, the First Ordained Judge.

   • Example: @Adam Steward, the Herald of the Author, and strongest known being in the Universe.

   • Example: Joshua (Ieosus), the Intercessor, who serves as a Spirit Warrior and rarely interacts with the physical realm.

   • Example: Malachi, Messenger of the Author and brother of Sohen.

Across the Mirror-Universe, twelve Supreme Judges exist in total. Within the Archi Galaxy, only two are widely known — @Sohen and @Adam Steward.

All Judges are instructed to work in all unity and reverence to one another, especially to those with authority over them.

Power and Limits

Judges wield immense authority, but their power is always tied to principle. Against most beings, a Judge’s ordination ensures victory, for they act with the direct gaze and support of the Author. But there are exceptions:

• A being of overwhelming raw strength may exceed a Judge of lower jurisdiction.

• Example: @Quasard, one of the strongest beings in existence, far outmatches @King Savlanut, despite Savlanut’s ordination. In such cases, a stronger Judge is sent, or even a Supreme Judge if the need demands.

Origins and Purpose

Judges were not present at the conception of the Mirror-Universe. They first emerged in the late Second Era, entering the Third, following the creation of Concept Beings. Their appearance was the Author’s response to imbalance — a regulatory mechanism akin to lymphocyte white blood cells in a living body.

They exist to:

• Uphold universal principle.

• Sustain cosmic law.

• Execute judgement where contradictions, violations, or instability arise.

Cultural Identity

• “Angels”: Traditional and religious communities view Judges as divine emissaries, often mythologizing them.

• “Judges”: Contemporary and secular cultures use this term, emphasizing their role as enforcers of law.

Despite the name the may receive (Angels), Judges characteristically do not have wings. If a nativity or individual already possessed wings before ordination (e.g., through Concept abilities), they retain them after becoming a Judge. Wings are incidental, never a Judge’s defining feature.

The Anointing

Supreme Judges can, at the Author’s request, anoint chosen individuals. This anointing marks a mortal vessel with unique potential and lasting influence. It does not guarantee success, but it elevates them as a Discovered Chosen Vessel within their generation, (which is a greater level above a regular Chosen Vessel).

• Adam Steward was anointed when young.

• Within the Archi Galaxy currently, @Shakan Glory is known to have been anointed (known only by his close family), but its meaning remains largely obscure to them.

Legacy

Judges are the balance keepers of the Mirror-Universe. Their laws intertwine with all others, but often superimpose upon them, ensuring that cosmic order is never contradicted. Their hierarchy demonstrates a truth: power is not in the order of ordainment, but in submission to the Author’s will.

The weak may rise, the mighty may fall, but all are marked forever by the eyes — or in Adam Steward’s case, by the higher law — of eternity.
