Phyra (@oveass), Umbralocht (@bobusdoleus) you have been summoned to hear our verdict in the dispute.
We have reviewed the cases brought forth and have come to carry out Justice. So shall it be.
Umbralocht, you have taken action that is within your powers, and domain. You have seeded discord among a people who are created in the image of Order. Though this greatly displeases the Phyra, we do not find this action to be unjust. It is certainly unlawful given the codes of the Schryke, but you are not bound by these laws. However, you are not held blameless. This was an act of provocation, and as such, we will not remove the curse placed upon the Fleshchanged, entirely. Some penance will be paid. Instead, the Curse of Mirrors shall be collected into one Fleshchanged, and one alone. This "Pape" shall be the only being that has the revelation of the Curse, and shall act as a Giver and Receiver of the knowledge gained. They will be held up among the Fleshchanged as most honorable and will protected. The Pape in old age will choose a new successor to carry the heavy burden. The Pape may share the knowledge, or keep it hidden, as they choose. Lastly, it will be known among all the Fleshchanged that a terrible Curse will be set loose upon the Fleshchanged, if the Pape be killed. If a Fleshchanged kills the Pape, the Curse shall be reinstated in full, on all the beings of the race.
Phyra, you have have taken action that is lawful to your Order, but cruel. We will not support this, nor punish you directly. You love your Schrykes so much you were willing to do evil to protect them. We see this as sincere, but must pass judgement unto your creations that will serve as a reminder. Your Schrykes will hold a celebration. It will occur on random intervals as the God of Chance (@aerotes_forgehammer) sees fit. This celebration will last one cycle of the First Moon. The celebration will be act of reverie, and transformation will be a central theme ([m] think Mardi Gras + Halloween + Burning Man. Costumes, debauchery and fetish will reign and each will throw themselves in fully, as the dedication of the Schryke is well known. The story of when the God of Law acted against another will be told, but the celebration will be inherently hedonistic, not one of moralism and critique.
Lastly, to guard the Fleshchanged Pape, there will be six among the Schryke to take up this mantle. It will be considered a great honor, and will serve as a bridge between the two, and an open door to good relations.
This is our judgement. We have been deeply honored to serve.
EDIT: [m] Some have asked about the authority of Exos, Termos, and Libos. These Gods were summoned by others in order to pass judgement. The authority was gifted before the judgement was passed.

Nope they will shut down until they lose their reason to oppose and fight each other. This was a point of much contention bewteen you and in the end it was agreed upon by you and Umbralocht that Fleshchanged would never fight each other. https://voat.co/v/SavageGods/comments/753974/3700283
It was also agreed that
Ergo, They are immune to each other even if they DO fight.

You're missing my final response.
And the first quote:
I appear to have made a typo, because it was supposed to say "until they can either escape the flux or kill the other", so that's my bad. I'll fix that if @bobusdoleus is still okay with that. It was never agreed that they would never fight eachother, though, it was only agreed that I wouldn't artificially seek to sic them on eachother, as I was attempting to do when I said:
Which meant that bestial Fleshchanged would be drawn towards heroic Fleshchanged, and vice versa, which Umbralocht did not like, so it was retracted. To paraphrase the cloak of uncertainty:
Fleshchanged will have a hard time forming strong bonds, either good or bad, with their host species, but the bonds that do form will be especially strong. Should two Fleshchanged come into contact that are of the same alignment (heroic-----bestial spectrum) then they will feel their alignment fluctuate, and would continue to feel this uncomfortable fluctuation until they either a) get away from eachother or b) kill the other Fleshchanged. This should result in a relatively even distribution of Fleshchanged in the world as they are pushed away from eachother. The Fleshchanged are certainly allowed to fight. As Umbralocht stated:
So they are allowed to meet, and even fight, but he was asking that I take the artificial polarity that was going to draw them together out of the blessing, which I agreed to.
