11.6.2.2 ABSOLVING A DOMOTH
ABSOLVING A DOMOTHEOS ===================== With the exception of the Domotheos of Nature, each Domotheos opposes another as follows: Chaos opposes Harmony, Beauty opposes Knowledge, War opposes Justice, and Life opposes Death. The Controller of a Domotheos can attempt to DOMOTH ABSOLVE <domoth> to absolve the control of an opposing Domotheos. To do so, the power of control of the Domotheos must be equal to or greater than that of the controller of the opposing Domotheos. To determine the level of power: control of the Domotheos Crown is greater than the Domotheos Orb which is greater than the Domotheos Sceptre. Further, an Ascendant has greater control over a Domotheos than a Demigod. And finally, an Ascendant whose realm matches a Domotheos - that is to say, an Ascendant who ascended through the seal they control - has even greater control. Some examples: - Demigod with Sceptre can absolve a Demigod with Sceptre - Demigod with Sceptre cannot absolve Ascendant with Sceptre - Ascendant with Sceptre cannot absolve Realm Ascendant with Sceptre - Demigod with Orb can absolve Ascendant with Sceptre - Ascendant with Orb can absolve Realm Ascendant with Sceptre - Demigod with Orb cannot absolve Realm Ascendant with Sceptre - Demigod with Crown can absolve Realm Ascendant with Sceptre - Ascendant with Sceptre can absolve Demigod with Orb - Ascendant with Crown can challenge Ascendant with Crown - Ascendant with Crown cannot challenge Realm Ascendant with Crown - Realm Ascendant with Sceptre can absolve Demigod with Crown. The initiator of the absolve must stand before his or her Domotheos Throne for 3600 seconds. During this time, the opposing Domotheos will send guardians in an attempt to dislodge the challenger. If the Challenger fails to finish the absolve within two hours, the absolve fails, and the Challenger loses the control of either the Crown, Orb or Sceptre (whichever is the greatest held), and the Domotheos becomes dormant. If the Challenger completes with the absolve, the opposing Domotheos loses the control of either the Crown, Orb or Sceptre (whichever is the greatest held). Both the initiating Domotheos and the opposing Domotheos become dormant. NOTE: If the challenger is an Ascendant through the challenging Domoth, every second will count as two seconds while absolving an opposing Domotheos. If they hold a Seal Medallion or are an Ascendant, the Absolve will go 33% faster.
