Difference between revisions of "Fused"

The Fused have an extremely complex political and social hierarchy even though their actions are generally governed by Odium. Generally, they have hatred and contempt for humans and place common singers above them in status. Among common singers, those chosen to be elevated are granted forms of power and become [[Regals]]. The Fused tend to defer to [[thunderclast]]s and [[Unmade]]. However, even within the singers there are delineations of status and authority. There are nine brands of Fused with different powers and specialties.{{book ref|sa4|12}} Other factors such as reputation, history, and capacity also matter a great deal, and how well individual Fused have retained their sanity.{{book ref|sa4|14}} Many of the important Fused have a '''Voice''', an [[envoyform]] singer who represents their Fused and helps manage their affairs;{{book ref|sa4|11}}{{book ref|sa4|92}} Voices are generally accorded respect beyond that given to ordinary Regals,{{book ref|sa4|53}} especially if the Fused they serve is particularly important.{{book ref|sa4|56}}{{book ref|sa4|60}}{{book ref|sa4|104}}

=== The Nine ===

The highest authority among the Fused is the Nine, a council formed by nine Fused.{{book ref|sa4|14}} The Nine entomb themselves in stone pillars in an atrium through Soulcasting, and most will leave their head and one arm free. The stone pillars have an organic feeling, like tree growing on them, and makes people feel like they are older than stones itself. They will hold meetings in the atrium with high ranked Fused, who would each bring their Voice, anto [[envoyform]]announce singer,them tobefore they speak for them.{{book ref|sa4|14}} They would hear field reports and proposals from the Fused. They can accept opinions from other Fused but have the final say for anything. [[Raboniel]] was once among the Nine and this position is subject to change. The Nine do not eat, living only on Voidlight.{{book ref|sa4|14}}
