「再见,诸位,我们并非就此别过——因为在宇宙不可见的终点,万物都将重逢于一点。」
——葬仪知宾,悼亡诗
葬仪知宾是零落散布在宇宙各个角落的末王信徒。
对于「终末」,许多人犹如障目行路,绝口不提祂的存在,以及祂所象征的宇宙终结。然而也有智慧生命由衷相信,这位逆时而行的星神乃是宇宙之钟倒计时的滴答声,也是提醒人们存在意义的警钟:在命定的葬仪前,浑然无知的人应当抓紧生命的每一秒。
为此,葬仪知宾与试图逃离末日的人们逆向而行,他们钟爱末日景象,渴望目睹末日,并在此迎来与「终末」的唯一一次相见。
Creed Exequy — Finality
"Farewell, everyone. However, this is not the final goodbye, for all things shall reunite at some point at the imponderable end of the universe."
— Creed Exequy, an elegy
The Creed Exequy is made up of followers of Terminus scattered across the various corners of the universe.
With regard to the Finality, many refuse to speak of THEIR existence, blinding themselves to the fact that THEY symbolize the end of the universe. However, the wiser among them believe that the Aeon that moves against the flow of time represents the ticking down to the end of the universe and is a reminder of the meaning of existence: Before the destined end comes, those who breathe ignorant of impending ruin ought to live every second of their life to the fullest.
To that end, the Creed Exequy walks a path reverse of those who flee from the apocalypse. Unlike the latter, they worship the apocalypse and the ruin it brings, and yearn to witness its arrival. There, they shall welcome their only encounter of the Finality with open arms.
