This weekend I started working in earnest upon issue #2 of Black Hole Wizard. This issue focuses on a character introduced in issue #1. Inanna’s an Immaculate, and the possessor of the world-ship vairya Amərətāt: the desirable Immortality.
But before I could begin turning my outline into a script, I realized I needed to do some more world building. This time world building necessitated listening to Om’s “Advaitic Songs” on repeat while drinking beers and falling down a weekend-deep Zoroastrianist wiki-hole. I’m moderately pleased with the results, so here’s an excerpt.
“The Six Bounteous Immortals, also called Amesha Spenta, Asuras, or world-ships, are Immaculate who terminally plateaued on the path to apotheosis. Each of them is a conduit through which the true god of the physical world makes manifest his will. They are essentially demigods crewed by worshipers and attendant Immaculate. The world-ships peregrinate in circuits evangelizing over the slow course of millennium, moving from one world or station to the next. Some cultures anticipate their visits, but given the vast stretches of time involved, these events sometimes have more in common with the practices of cargo cults than organized religions.”
