	Though there do exist unsavoury elements that believe consumption of biological matter would be more efficient than extracting what they can from blood donations – those that believe in this often resort to gaining such through criminal acts such as kidnapping and forced extractions of more valuable samples of DNA such as spinal taps and even bone marrow extractions. Those who practice Ichor Eternal, lawfully at least, decry these methods as conduct which gives a bad reputation to the entirety of the school of thought.

	The Triple O (O-O-O) is the Trifecta of Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. These are goals that must be achieved as Dionae, and the universe, accrue more and more collective gnosis. Once every entity in the universe can embody the trifecta, then all will become whole, and become one. Omnipresence is the focus of the Orthodox Eternal, whose objective is to work towards bringing the collective universe into a coterminous state, probing the Voidic Rootsong Network, and mergings.

Omnipresence is the focus of the Orthodox Eternal, whose objective is to work towards bringing the collective universe into a coterminous state, probing the Voidic Rootsong Network, and mergings.

	One of their objectives in this quest for Omnipresence is to transcend the few temporal conditions that affect Dionae, by bringing the past and the present into co-terminality in the Voidic Rootsong ~~network~~. Dionae already somewhat have achieved mastery over the past, in this sense, by the delayed rate that which the rootsong network moves, and through ancestral memories. The latter is a scholarly fascination of the Orthodox Eternal, who continually seek out and compare the memories and accounts of ancient gestalts and Penuma, attempting to piece together an origin for the species. As for matters pertaining to the future, Rootsong Whispers from temporal anomalies hint at the possibility of integrating the future fully into the Rootsong Network, and so Orthodox scholars interested in the future set off on expeditions into deep space, to find such things.

	Omnipotence is the Focus of the Iron Eternal, the most materialistic of the sects. They concentrate on strengthening the Dionae's ability to shape, create, or destroy their environment. To bend the universe to their will. To what end the universe ought to be bent to, is a controversial topic even within the Iron Eternal. Given that most of their collective efforts are vested in materialistic collection and postulations, the Iron Eternal often brings in members from the other sects to help guide the Direction of Omnipotence. Omniscience is the focus of the Ichor Eternal, and as can be inferred, they wish to hoard and chronicle knowledge from the world created by Temporals. This is the sect that is the most curious of the presence of Temporals in the universe and debates the most internally about their true nature, and their relationship with Dionae as a collective.

	It is hard to underpin the theological source of the Eternal. Indeed, it is a fascination of Scholars within the Eternal itself, for it serves as a consolidation of various mystical and philosophical musings that have been drifting in the Voidic Rootsong Network for aeons. The creation of the Eternal itself was spurred by the death of the Rueltab Titan and the meaning behind the Last Vociferation of the Superlative Consensus. When the Vociferation parted, the debate in the Rootsong network began, and The Eternal was born from the consensus. The echoing death rattle of the largest conglomerate to ever be discovered had profound effects on contemporary Eternal – which saw centralization during the late 2300s CE, primarily into three schools of thought: Orthodox ~~Eternal~~, Iron ~~Eternal~~ and lastly Ichor Eternal. Though each had existed in its own right, it wasn't until the Last Vociferation of the Superlative Consensus that the belief in the Eternal went from an informal cult-like existence to one that is officially recognized across many nation-states across the Spur, such as the [[Republic of Biesel]] and even the [[Nralakk Federation]].

	A monolith-like biocomputer of an amalgamation of biomass and other unknown materials, it is considered the pinnacle of Iron Eternal’s ingenuity. It acts as a tomb of sorts, housing all the data retained from the school of thought’s followers after they have perished for future generations to gaze through to gain an understanding of their progenitors or other Dionae that they perhaps have an interest in. Alongside these memories, it contains technical diagrams on the construction of various advanced technologies that have references to esoteric, unknown materials that have made it difficult to reconstruct – most of which is owed to data uploaded from the faith’s eldest, most experienced Dionae that travelled far and wide across the Milky Way. It also contains direct references to what the followers of the Iron Eternal believe is to be the Eternal itself, outlining descriptions of its acts as a creator-god-machine and immutable proof of its existence as far as its followers are concerned.

			=Rituals & Ceremonies =

			Depending on the school of thought one follows, there are a variety of rituals and ceremonies that may play an important role in devoting oneself to their faith. This manifests unique for each schism of the Eternal, especially where there exists a common overlap between the usage of the religious rites.

			===Sanguis Tea Observance===

			Used by the Ichor Eternal, the Sanguis Tea Observance is a rather small ceremony in which a Dionae ingests a minute sample of blood typically fused with a blend of tea – the blend not really important for the objective of the rite. Generally used after a Dionae has awakened from hibernation, it symbolizes one’s faithfulness to the Eternal. Acting as a declaration for one to continue learning, each and every time they awake from metabolic hibernation, and to perform the will of the Eternal.

			===Augment’s Carcophany===

			Augment’s Carcophany is a rather important ritual to the Iron Eternal, in that it is typically done to commemorate an important event – such as July 18th, to give homage to the deceased Rueltab Titan. Otherwise, even a singular Dionae can partake if something that it finds in its life is worthy of recognition. A combination of both the Song or Iron and Song of Machine is used, with those from the Scorned including the Song of the First Consciousness.

			===Lifting of the Gestalt===

			Done every morning, and every evening, the Lifting of the Gestalt is primarily used by the Orthodox Eternal. Regardless of whether one is performing other work, it is customary for those of the Orthodox Eternal to uplift themselves by reminding themselves of their devotion to the Eternal – everyday at 6am and 6pm. It generally uses an adaption of the Song of Energy, which sounds like “a long, strong melody slowly rising to a high note before softly drifting away”. It is typically sung three times before proceeding on with one’s day.
