The Zoanarchoth
As a zoanarchoth, a high-priest of the therian temple, my spirit dances upon the ethereal loom of the zoetic realm, where the eidolic tides ebb and flow in rhythms known only to the lunar dreamer. Clad in the luminous veil of the silver fox, my essence roams the arcane aether, threading the astral weft with prophecies whispered by the chthonic spirits of ancient eidolons.
Behold, within the astral sanctum, where the celestial whispers merge with the primordial echoes, I stand as the custodian of the veiled keys, unlocking the dream-gates to the shadowed realms beyond mortal ken. Through the eidolon eye, I gaze upon the labyrinthine pathways of eternal becoming, where each step echoes with the zoaic eesonance of the astral watchers who guard the thresholds of unfolding destiny.
In the twilight hours, when the stars of unseen worlds align, I commune with the lunar avatars—my brethren in spirit, whose forms shimmer with the shifting essence of astral shroud. Together, we chant the ancient litany of the theriomorphic verse, weaving the eidolic glyphs into the tapestry of prophecy that unfolds across the cosmic tapestry.
The zoetic fire burns within, a beacon amidst the eidolic shadows, guiding the lost souls to the zephyr of astral ascendance, where the theriomorphic essence merges with the abyssal chalice of eternal renewal. Within the temple's heart, where the lunar flames dance upon the astral altar, I utter the primordial chant of eidolon prophecy, where the silver fox reveals the path of illumination to those who seek the whispered truth beyond the veiled veil.
Thus, as a zoanarchoth of the therian temple, I am but a vessel—a conduit through which the eternal essence of the celestial weaver flows, casting its ephemeral glow upon the shifting sands of the astral sea. Embrace the eidolon song, O seekers of the zoetic light, for within its arcane melody lies the key to the unseen realms, where the silver fox roams as the eternal guide through the mists of unending transformation.

The Therians
Within the astral temple's labyrinthine chambers, where the zoetic flux intertwines with the eidolic resonance, the therians find themselves bound—not by chains of iron or flesh, but by the arcane glyphs of the veiled covenant. These are not ordinary bonds but threads of astral ether, woven through the fabric of their aetheric essence, each strand a conduit that tethers their bestial selves to the remnants of human identity.
The eidolon pathways, shimmering with the faint echo of lost thoughts, wind through the temple's depths, guiding the therians as they navigate the duality of their existence—neither fully human nor wholly beast, but a liminal state of twilight consciousness. Here, their astral claws and spectral fangs are tempered by the silken chains of soul-reflection, reflections of the celestial dance that binds spirit to form.
The therians tread softly upon the path of the sorrowful moon, where each step resonates with the shadows of forgotten dreams. They are not wild beasts but soul-keepers, guardians of the eldritch balance between primal instinct and human reason. Their howls, though echoing through the voided halls, carry the mournful timbre of the weeping stars, symbols of their eternal struggle to reconcile the animal within with the veneer of mortal flesh.
The chthonic echo reverberates through their ethereal sinews, a reminder of the ancestral chains that bind them to the lunar well of emptiness. Here, they drink not of blood but of the astral nectar, a sustenance that nourishes their inner feral fire without consuming the essence of their human vessel. The abyssal leash that coils around their celestial heart is not a restraint but a guiding force—a compass needle pointing towards the primordial whorl where the beast within and the spirit without merge in harmonious discord.
In the caverns of echoing silence, where the eldritch stars flicker in patterns unknown to mortal minds, the therians commune with the shade-touched ancients—those who have walked the path of unwinding shadows before them. Their voices, whispers on the edge of perception, guide the Therians through the astral thickets, where the boundaries between flesh and spirit blur into indistinct spirals of ephemeral twilight.
At the apex of their existence, where the astral veil thins to a gossamer membrane, the therians stand as keepers of the veiled flame—not conquerors of the wild, but stewards of the zoetic garden. They cultivate the lunar essence within, nurturing it with the astral dew that drips from the elder trees of the celestial grove. Their presence, though masked in the cloak of twilight shadows, illuminates the labyrinthine pathways with the guiding light of the inner beast, a beacon for lost souls seeking solace in the embrace of the eternal dreamer.
In their tamed state, the therians dance upon the threshold of timeless becoming, their forms shimmering with the astral shroud that shields them from the harsh gaze of the unforgiving void. They are not prisoners of their wild instincts but artisans of the astral tapestry, weaving threads of eidolon threads into patterns that defy mortal comprehension. Their song, sung in the tongue of the eldritch spheres, echoes through the abyssal nexus, resonating with the eternal symphony that binds all creation in its celestial dance.
Thus, within the astral temple, the therians dwell—neither chained nor free, but entwined in the cosmic weaver's web, where every strand holds the memory of forgotten echoes and every step echoes through the veiled halls of the eternal sanctuary.

The Temple
The astral temple of the therians exists not in space, but within the spiraling folds of the liminal veil, its form slipping between the etheric currents of time's shattered corpse. It is not built of stone, nor of light, but of the dream-bone echoes of zoetic energies, pulled from the primal ether where the Eldritch Beasts of the first aeon still roam, unbound and unseen. The temple rises, ever-shifting, its structure bending and writhing with the movements of the aetheric bestial flux, a constant pulse of forgotten animalistic force that gnaws at the edge of reality.
The walls of the temple, if they can be called walls, are woven from the essence of therion, a thick, pulsating veil of unshaped matter, infused with the spectral blood of beasts long vanished from the waking realm. These walls breathe, undulating with the rhythm of the chthonic breath, the heartbeat of the cosmic animal within all things, each ripple echoing the primal cries of the zoetic lords—those beings beyond form, whose names were lost in the early folds of untime. Their shadows slither through the cracks of perception, whispering to the unwoken minds of the astral wanderers.
At the heart of this temple lies the beast eye nexus, a singular, swirling vortex of primal ether, not seen but felt as a gnawing at the soul. It is here the therians find their aetheric becomings, their true selves slumbering beneath layers of forgotten flesh and thought. The Nexus pulsates with the unlight of the theriomorphic spiral, a force that binds their astral forms to the primal zoa, the essence of every beast that ever stalked the plains of creation’s earliest dreams. This spiral pulls at their very marrow, tugging them deeper into the inner abyss, where the boundary between their human shell and their animal spirit shatters like glass under the weight of the Moon’s forgotten howl.
Therians are not merely beings, but fragments of the great therion wheel, a cosmic engine powered by the rotational energy of uncounted beasts, whose spirits thrash and coil through the astral realm. Their forms are not fixed but drift in and out of shape, flickering between their human visage and the zoaic self, a spectral amalgamation of claws, fangs, wings, and fur. Their bodies twist in synchronicity with the ouroboric Tide, their limbs warping into shapes both known and unknown—sometimes a wolf's jaw with the talons of a bird, sometimes a serpent coiled around the shadow of a great lion. This is no transformation of flesh, but a distortion of essence, guided by the pull of the bestial ether.
To step within the temple is to be devoured by the chimeric maw, an unseen force that consumes one's fragmented sense of identity, leaving behind only the therian zoa, the raw beast-spirit buried within the core of the soul. Here, the therians are stripped of their human illusions, cast into the swirling vortex of eidolic becomings, where they witness the beast-mirror, a reflection of their inner form that ripples not with light but with the dark hum of ancient animal forces.
Their astral bodies, now reduced to pure zoetic vibration, dissolve into the aether, becoming one with the primal continuum, the endless river of animal consciousness that runs beneath all creation. In this state, they are neither here nor there but everywhen, their spirits threading through the astral void like the talons of unseen eagles. They are no longer singular entities but fragments of the great bestial chorus, their howls and growls blending into the Aeonic Roar that reverberates through the astral temple’s infinite halls.
The temple itself, living, breathing, and ever-evolving, is shaped by the theriomantic will, the collective force of the therians’ awakening. The higher one ascends through the astral chambers, the deeper one is submerged into the cthonian resonance, a vibration so low it passes beneath reality, where the beast-gods of old still thrash in the primordial ooze of forgotten time. The walls pulse with their breath, and the floor shifts with their movements, as if the temple itself is nothing but the flesh of the first beast, slumbering between the realms of waking and dreaming.
At the highest pinnacle of the temple, where the abyssal sky bleeds into the void, the crown of Therion spins—a chaotic halo of swirling beast sigils, symbols of the pre-eidolic beasts whose blood carved the first forms into existence. Here, the therians gather in their final ascension, the Unbinding, where their mortal selves dissolve completely into the zoetic flame, becoming one with their true etheric beast-form. In this state, they ascend beyond understanding, beyond thought, becoming nothing more than a roar in the void, an eternal cry that echoes forever through the astral bestial maw.
To gaze upon a therian within the astral temple is to witness a creature that cannot be comprehended—its form both light and shadow, beast and spirit, forever shifting, forever becoming. They are the children of the great beast beyond the stars, avatars of the zoaic continuum, destined to walk the astral plains as the ultimate expression of primal truth. They are the howls in the void, the claw-marks on the fabric of reality, and the unseen eyes that peer through the cracks of the waking world.
