It is generally thought that the world consists mostly of empty space. As the wise, or at least the knowledgeable or intelligent know, nothing could be less true. The world is packed to bursting with new sights, new experiences, things, things, a ceaseless eternity of sensation and experience. It is a rare place indeed where there is nothing, or very close. The Yozi Cecelyne, in her infinite glory, stretches on forever, a ceaseless eternity of brutal sun and sand. In her, even so, true stillness does not come freely. Even in Cecelyne, there is action and reaction, as there is everywhere but Oblivion (which is not stillness, because the absence of existence is not at all the same thing as the cessation of action). Still, in Cecelyne there are great tracts where something very close to true stillness can be achieved. It is from these places that the Cecelines walked. No soul could be so long in its own company and emerge unchanged. The Cecelines, shaped by their mistress, are a walking case in point. They bear the marks of their journey, and bear also the places to which they journeyed. All who are near them are struck by the deep, painful stillness that blankets the world as they move through it. Whether they are wise men or madmen, few can say. In truth, they are both. No knowledge or power comes without its price, and madness is the price of Infernal Exaltation. Regardless of their sanity, when the Cecelines speak, they are heard. When they give an order, they are obeyed. It would be untrue to say that only fools trifle with the Cecelines. <i>Nobody</i> trifles with a Ceceline.

The Heirophant Caste

The Heirophants are the fiery demagogues and priests of the Yozis, preaching repentance and submission before the original and just rulers of Creation, and abjuring the masses to join in their most holy crusade against the gods and their servants. They often came from the most unassuming backgrounds, but have been empowered with a deep and fundamental vision of what it is to be Infernal, and what true service and faith requires. They pave the way for their Yozi masters to ascend, winning the hearts and minds of the people.
