The Veins of God

An Inquiry into the Hypothetical Magical Currents Flowing Through Sayarii

Abstract

Among thaumaturgic scholars, a persistent hypothesis endures: that unseen forces still circulate beneath Sayarii’s surface—remnants of the world’s primal magic. These flows, called Mishipa ka Mungu, the Veins of God, are believed to be residual currents of the power that once sustained all creation before the Karithat ul’Qadima (the Great Fall).

Though unprovable by current thaumometric instruments, multiple lines of evidence suggest a consistent, if elusive, substructure of power within Sayarii’s crust and atmosphere. Whether these currents represent divine memory, decaying energy, or an unknown physical phenomenon remains an open and deeply controversial question.

Historical Context

The concept of circulating divine currents first appears in recovered pre-Fall fragments from the Archive of Sular, which describe “rivers of intention flowing beneath all matter.”
Later Kathiran scholars, most notably Asha il’Kithari in the 3rd century New Age, reinterpreted this as a literal description of a planetary system of energy exchange—an invisible anatomy of the world.

After the Fall, thaumaturgic practitioners noted recurring anomalies: zones of unexplainable fertility, auroral phenomena in desert skies, and the uncanny alignment of pre-Fall structures along consistent trajectories. Together, these patterns formed the empirical foundation of the modern Vein Hypothesis.

Observational Evidence

1. Thaumic Residual Fields
   In several locations—most notably Nephisis, Bayt ul’Zaytun, and the ruins of the Bara Kusini elevator—long-term measurements reveal background resonance far stronger than local materials can explain. The pattern suggests a lattice of buried conduits or persistent energetic channels.

2. Unyoya Conduction Tests
   Feathers placed along suspected vein paths show rhythmic polarization pulses described by observers as “breathing.” Although unmeasurable by clock or compass, the phenomenon recurs at the same physical locations, implying a stable subsurface source.

3. Distillate Behavior
   Samples harvested from thaumaturgic fauna in vein-rich regions decay more slowly and emit consistent low-frequency hums under glass containment—interpreted by Nephisite researchers as sympathetic vibration with an underlying current.

Competing Theories

Ethical and Political Implications

The potential rediscovery of the Veins poses existential risks.
The Council of Fourteen in Il-Wāāt ul’Ihāt Kathira has banned active excavation beneath city foundations after three recorded “pulse collapses.”
Nephisis quietly finances agricultural research believed to involve vein manipulation, while the Eastern Sultanate sponsors highly contested deep salvage operations across the desert arc of the Bara Kusini, searching for intact vein conduits buried under glass dunes.

For now, such research remains officially theoretical, though scholars privately admit that if the Veins can be accessed, the nature of Thaumaturgy—and power itself—would change forever.

Religious Interpretations

The Flow temples of Nephisis teach that the rivers of water mirror the rivers beneath.
To them, the Veins of God are the heartbeat of Mungu Aliyeanguka—the Fallen Creator whose body became the world.
Each year’s flood of the Nephisis River is thus both agricultural and sacred: the visible pulse of an invisible vein.

Other traditions interpret the currents as the stored breath of angels, the sighs of the drowned cities, or the lingering vibration of creation’s first word.

Conclusion

Whether divine, mechanical, or geological, the Veins of God remain the most provocative and least understood mystery of the New Age.
Every attempt at proof collapses into speculation; every denial leaves residue.
If the hypothesis is true, Sayarii itself may yet be alive—a wounded organism still circulating the memory of its own divinity.

Should that be the case, the question is not whether the Veins exist, but whether we deserve to find them again.
