I. DRAGON TONGUE
ARCHETYPAL DEFINITIONS
ÆNIR /ˈeye-neer/ noun
Æ = Seed / Spirit / Origin + NIR = Point / Singularity / Origin-node
ÆNIR is the seed principle of KHATARA cosmology: the primordial origin-node from which the AZKHA Tree emerges. Rather than framing creation as proof of divinity, ÆNIR introduces creation as an agency-question—who planted the seed, and for what purpose. It functions as the all-father marker of the system, encoding intention, causality, and initiating intelligence prior to manifestation.
AZKHA /ˈaz-khah/ noun
AZ = Source / Truth + KHA = Light
AZKHA is the life-force axis of the KHATARA system, visualized as the AZKHA Tree that structures the entire cosmology. Its branches extend into the heavens, its body forms the earth-field, and its roots descend toward the abyss beyond the ordered worlds. AZKHA functions simultaneously as map and engine, organizing realm topology while expressing the vertical continuity of existence.
KHAGEN /ˈkha-gen/ noun
KHA = Light + GEN = Realm
KHAGEN refers to the realm-class of the cosmology: the twelve worlds that compose the structured universe. These worlds are divided into seven inner realms and five outer realms, forming a complete dimensional architecture rather than a single plane. KHAGEN denotes both energetic and physical manifestation, depending on context.
ÆKUN /ˈeye-koon/ noun
Æ = Seed / Spirit + KUN = Group / Community
ÆKUN are the ruling deities of the KHAGEN worlds. Each KHAGEN is governed by a paired rulership—one masculine and one feminine ÆKUN—responsible for maintaining law, order, and structural coherence within the realm. Their authority is expressed through messengers and symbolic offspring rather than direct intervention.
DÆJIN /ˈdai-jin/ noun
DÆ = Division / Function + JIN = Possession / Being
DÆJIN are the messenger-class of the system, serving as communicators and enforcers of ÆKUN law. They transmit commands, maintain order, and act as the operational interface between ruling intelligence and realm mechanics. Each KHAGEN contains a masculine and feminine DÆJIN aligned to its rulers.
GÆDIR /ˈgai-deer/ noun
GÆ = Distortion / Influence + DIR = Direction / Pressure
GÆDIR are the influencer-class, commonly described as demonic spirits that operate through distortion rather than governance. Acting through the nephric system, they influence realms by bending trajectories, amplifying fear, and opposing ÆKUN order. Each KHAGEN is affected by a paired GÆDIR structure, mirroring rulership as counter-pressure.
ÆGEN /ˈeye-gen/ noun
Æ = Seed / Spirit / Origin + GEN = Generation / Realm
ÆGEN are the offspring-class of the ÆKUN, functioning as star-signs or zodiacal mappings of the KHAGEN worlds. Rather than ruling directly, they encode authority into symbolic structures used for interpretation, timing, and identity. In KHATARIAN Astrology, ÆGEN govern the houses of the system.
ÆSI /ˈeye-see/ noun
Æ = Seed / Spirit + SI = Feminine suffix (“She/Her”)
ÆSI is the feminine polarity-current of KHATARA: magnetic, receptive, and identity-forming. Framed as Goddess, Mother, and Daughter, ÆSI is a foundational energetic orientation rather than a localized entity. Together with THALIM, she forms the polarity-circuit that enables manifestation.
THALIM /ˈtha-leem/ noun
THA = Father / Strength + LIM = Measure / Order
THALIM is the masculine polarity-current of KHATARA: electric, projective, and initiating. Framed as God, Father, and Son, THALIM provides impulse, differentiation, and directional force. In union with ÆSI, THALIM generates the conditions for first emergence.
VÆHRA /ˈvai-rah/ noun, adj.
VÆ = Breath / Force + RA = Spark / Ignition
VÆHRA is the first manifestation of KHATARA: the initial realized being or event produced by the union of ÆSI and THALIM. VÆHRA anchors the ignition point where polarity becomes form. TERGEN is identified as their home-field within the myth architecture.
VARTARA /ˈvar-tah-rah/ noun
VAR = Expanse / Outer field + TAR = Body / Domain + RA = Spark / Ignition
VARTARA designates the macro-region of the heavens, comprising the five outer realms of the KHAGEN system. It represents structured outer domains rather than abstract transcendence. VARTARA interfaces with TERGEN through NEPHSHAB, preserving separation while enabling controlled exchange.
TERGEN /ˈter-gen/ noun
TER = Earth + GEN = Realm
TERGEN is the earth-field macro-region and primary stage of mythic unfolding. It contains the seven inner realms and functions as the body-field of the system, where structure becomes lived experience. TERGEN is explicitly identified as the home of VÆHRA.
HÆPHKUNGEN /ˈhaif-koon-gen/ noun
HÆPH = Abyss / Outside + KUN = Collective + GEN = Realm
HÆPHKUNGEN is the abyssal macro-region, defined as existing outside the KHAGEN system. It represents an external depth beyond ordered law, distinct from inner shadow or underworld layers. Its relationship to TERGEN is mediated through NEPHKHA-based boundaries.
NEPHSHAB /ˈnef-shahb/ noun
NEPH = Void / Fallen / Inversion + SHAB = Firmament / Boundary
NEPHSHAB is the inverted firmament. It functions as a boundary-current that both connects and separates TERGEN and VARTARA. NEPHSHAB allows relation without collapse, maintaining structural distinction while permitting exchange.
NEPHRHU /ˈnef-roo/ noun
NEPH = Void / Fallen + RHU = Soul
NEPHRHU denotes a vessel-function role: beings who host and enact the nephric pattern. Their function is sustaining the loop—providing living continuity for fear-based containment mechanisms. NEPHRHU are defined by function rather than morality.
NEPHKHA /ˈnef-khah/ noun
NEPH = Void / Fallen / Inversion + KHA = Light
NEPHKHA describes former NEPHRHU: fallen angels whose light has passed through inversion and returned altered. They function as incarnation pathways of karma, carrying consequence, memory, and transformation within the system. NEPHKHA represent inversion rather than negation.
RUHDAI /ˈroo-dai/ noun
RUH = Soul + DAI = Beauty / Design
RUHDAI are the Architects of the Nephric Mechanism. They translate fear into durable structure—policy, infrastructure, doctrine, and tools—transforming emotional volatility into stable containment. RUHDAI maintain the cage by making it practical and permanent.
AZIZAR /ˈah-zee-zar/ noun
AZI = Source / Clarity + ZAR = Eye / Observer
AZIZAR are the Watchers: the surveillance and oversight layer of the system. Their role is early detection of deviation, dissent, or anomaly, ensuring containment remains intact. AZIZAR preserve order through attention rather than force.
GENJIN /ˈgen-jin/ noun
GEN = Realm + JIN = Possession / Guardian
GENJIN are the Gatekeepers of the system, enforcing access control and boundary filtration. They determine who passes, who is blocked, and who is redirected into containment. GENJIN are entitized positions within the mechanism rather than symbolic figures.
GENTAR /ˈgen-tar/ noun
GEN = Realm + TAR = Human / Body
GENTAR are the rebels and activists opposing the Nephric System. They function as disruption forces that challenge containment narratives and structures. Within system dynamics, their opposition is often used to justify intensified control.
KARAN /ˈkah-ran/ noun
KARAN = Threat / Danger
KARAN are destabilizers framed as existential threats to the system. They function as psychic disruptors whose presence fuels fear-to-order escalation. The system frequently relies on KARAN figures—real or constructed—to legitimize expanded control.
