The Lord of Nine represents Law as Chains – law as a seductive and absolute power, used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt.
+The Lord of Nine represents Law as Chains — law as a seductive and absolute power, used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt. His commandments wear the mask of wisdom. His chains are clasped in moments of seeming victory.
He does not crave adoration — he seeks obedience. Worship is rarely given to him by name; instead, it is offered through systems, codes, and beliefs that bind the soul in oaths. Entire cultures may revere discipline, honor, or sacred duty, believing they serve a god of structure or nobility — when, in truth, they are shackled by the contracts of the Lord of Nine. His truest followers are often unaware of their allegiance, mistaking submission for virtue and bondage for purpose.
-In every vow kept beyond reason, in every bargain accepted without understanding, his chains tighten. The end is always the same: willing servitude under his absolute, eternal rule — signed, sealed, and inescapable.
+The Lord of Nine does not steal your freedom — he convinces you to surrender it. His bargains seem fair, even generous. His words promise justice, security, victory — and always come at a cost unseen until it is too late.
+In every vow kept beyond reason, in every bargain accepted without understanding, his chains tighten. And when the last lock is sealed, the soul smiles, unaware it is already on its knees.
+His end is order. Perfect, inescapable, eternal. A world where all are bound by their own consent, willingly shackled beneath his infernal dominion.
"Every contract is a promise. Every promise is a chain. Every chain, in time, leads to him."

Symbolizes the seductive and absolute power of law — used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt. His law is immutable and inescapable, twisted into chains cloaked as contracts, bargains, and "consent." A devil’s smile beneath a lawyer’s robe.

Temp draft: Law and tradition tools to bring others under control, ultimately seeking to bring all under his absolute authority – both part of and trapped by his infernal hierarchy.
