Tyrant (Sequence 0)

The Tyrant is the peak of the Path, and he holds four authorities, two of which extend far beyond the sea.

Matter is an authority, in part derived from the symbolism of the Creator and intersecting with authority over thunder: matter turns into energy, energy condenses back into matter, and this also encompasses the electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions;

Thunder, which is also electricity and magnetism, likewise comes from the symbolism of the Creator: the Tyrant raises electromagnetic storms capable of destroying any constructs of information;

The Tyrant — the authority of the King of Kings, encompassing intimidation, fury, and part of horror; from here too grows the song;

Water — at the intersection of the symbolism of the Creator and the Almighty: this encompasses authority over the seas and part of authority over aquatic life.

The result is telling: a path that began with a sailor for whom the sea had ceased to be foreign ends with authority over matter and energy themselves. The sea proved to be merely the entrance — and the carrier reached that from which the world is composed.

The name of the peak, meanwhile, speaks not of the element, but of relations with people. The Tyrant is the King of Kings, and his authority includes intimidation, rage, and part of horror. This rage stretches from the Rage People, intimidation from the Horror Voice of the Bane, and the song, which seems the most peaceful skill of the path, is likewise part of the Tyrant's authority: he to whom the sea and thunder submit also commands by voice.

The ritual of ascension returns everything to people: over a hundred thousand followers, and their submission must grow precisely out of fear, and not out of love or gratitude. The composition matches — god's blood must suffice to be soaked in it entirely.
