Spirits are at work in the cosmos — spirits that define the essence of reality, and from these vital sources all things are formed. This is one of the central philosophies of shamanism and no one is more intimate with these spirits than the Transcendent. Seeking to embody the sentient formative powers of the universe and bottle them within her form, the transcendent is an aesthete, a warrior and most of all, a mystic.

  • Spirits are at work in the cosmos — spirits that define the essence of reality, and from these vital sources all things are formed. This is one of the central philosophies of shamanism and no one is more intimate with these spirits than the Transcendent. Seeking to embody the sentient formative powers of the universe and bottle them within her form, the transcendent is an aesthete, a warrior and most of all, a mystic. Few shamans seek out this path; even powerful ones rarely learn of the necessary hidden techniques to transform into beings composed of primal forces. Codified within ancient legends and layered within ritual, are the keys to this hidden discipline. Yet only the wisest and most insightful discover it. Transcendents receive mixed treatment: sometimes they are revered as embodiments of wisdom, the spirits of the universe made flesh, residing in the shell of a mortal host. Other times they are regarded as lunatics who delve too far, recklessly abandoning their very natures in search of greater power. Whatever others' opinions are, Transcendents are spiritual avatars capable of summoning vast storms of lighting, smashing mountains with their terrible fists, and breathing winds into existence. Yet the techniques do not come without sacrifice. As they embrace the elements, Transcendents become less and less emphatic; their personalities also change, exaggerating traits associated with their favoured element. At the peak of their power they transform into elemental beings. Woe to Transcendents who meet their demise in such a state: their essential selves disperse and become one with the world, unable to return ever again.
