Akasha System

The Akasha System, often abbreviated as the Akasha, is a metaphysically engineered framework that served as an important part of the magical infrastructure of the Deific Reign of Theilon. The sphere of influence of the system spanned the entire empire.

The main use of the Akasha during the Theilic Age was to create a synthetic religious devotion in the subjects towards the divine rulers of Theilon, which planted numerous subdeities in the racial conciousness of the humans and duagar. This was the first and the most obvious level of thought control the system exerted, but perhaps even more influential was its subtle ability to limit subjective conciousness. In practice, this meant that the lowly subjects of the reign could not even think of things that lay beyond their designated lot in life, effectively limiting their ambition and potential to keep them docile. The higher officials of the reign or those favored by the gods would enjoy greater subjectivity privileges, tailored to suit their station. This artificial regulation of potential created a huge gap in technological level between the elite and the smallfolk. Finally, the system was used by the officials of the empire to receive their divine powers through a divine logic interface.

After the fall of Theilon, the thought-controlling functions of the Akasha were disabled by the new Teiliwaani Empire by the decree of the dragon god Teima himself - nevertheless, the insidious powers of the system continue to intrigue conspiracy theorists. The clerical interface is still operational and continues to supply clergies with divine powers even though the gods are long gone. The exact reason it still functions is unknown to the technologically inferior modern scholars; it has been interpreted as a sign that the gods are still watching over Thylia, or simply a masterwork automated system outliving its creators.

Recently, a section of the Akasha System located in the Azure District of Teiliwaan was fully reinstated by a figure known as the Quantum Pope by unkown means. Its advanced thought control function has become crucial in establishing the disputed nation of New Theilon.
