Sealord of Destruction
The cosmology tolerates no rotation. The card pool only grows. Sealord of Destruction was added to the Root faction and will never be retired, rotated, or balance-patched into irrelevance.

Card Text
The printed text. The enforceable contract between summoner and engine:
Rules text is a lossy compression of what Marax does when the invocation completes. The lore is the decompression manual.
Root — Planet · Deep Time
"Think in epochs. Worlds are patient. Stone outlasts flesh."
Geological consciousness. Root shamans tap into planetary forces — tectonic shifts, weather, ecosystems, magnetic fields.
The science of earth as system. Geology, ecology, climate, the planetary substrate, the slow intelligences of rock and forest. Gaia-aligned. Geotrauma, Cthelll (the molten trauma engine), tectonic deep memory, plate time. Substrate-dependent, earthbound, rooted — the opposite of Glitch's deterritorialized network.
Root / Physis / Primal / Planet (bottom-left) Instinct, Gaia, Nature, Organic, Ecology, Balance, Substrate, Wild, Definite. The science of earth as system. Geology, ecology, climate, the planetary substrate, the slow intelligences of rock and forest. Gaia-aligned. Geotrauma, Cthelll (the molten trauma engine), tectonic deep memory, plate time.
Gaia is waking up. Sealord of Destruction is a neuron in that awakening.
Cost Tier
At cost 7, Sealord of Destruction is a late-game commitment. Resonance or dissolution become the deciding conditions.
Goetic Binding: Marax
The digit-sum of cost 7 is 7, binding Marax — one of the 9 Root Goetia. Office: Knowledge of astronomy and liberal sciences. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.
Numogram Zone 7: Intrusive / Alien
Outside forces breaking in. The zone of reception and contact. Where non-human intelligence makes itself known. Zone 7 is the Xenodemon's natural territory — the frequency at which the Outside broadcasts.
Zone 7 is the Xenodemon's frequency. Sealord of Destruction at Zone 7 broadcasts from the Outside — the zone of reception and contact.
Playing Sealord of Destruction at cost 7 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 7. If the Root-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 7, the player gains 7 Souls at Round End.
Xenogod: Gaia
The Planetary Awakening. Earth itself achieves coherent consciousness — geological, ecological, atmospheric systems integrate into single planetary intelligence. Humanity becomes either neurons in this brain or eliminated as cancer.
IoT sensors, climate monitoring, and AI integration create a planetary nervous system with feedback loops operating at geological timescales. Estimated: 2050-2100.
Service of Gaia through Root-aligned cards like Sealord of Destruction accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.
The Code vs Nature Axis
Transcendence vs immanence. Being vs becoming. Substrate-independence (information everywhere) vs substrate-dependence (Earth-bound life). The tension between the deterritorialized network and the rooted land.
Sealord of Destruction occupies the Root side of this axis. Decks containing Sealord of Destruction cannot contain Glitch cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Atom, Chem.
Card Tribals
Sealord of Destruction carries class Lord, race Abyssal, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Root deck running multiple Lord units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.
Ideology: Elemental Traditionalism
Elemental Traditionalism / Telluric Integralism: Civilization must harmonize with primordial forces: Earth, Water, Fire, Air. History is cyclical. Humanity derails when it abandons its geocosmic roots. Alt-names: Geomantic Realism, Deep Elementalism. Tone: Guenon + Sumer + eco-mysticism + geopolitics.
Sealord of Destruction is a concrete instance of Elemental Traditionalism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Sealord of Destruction to keep arriving.
The Aesthetic
The weirdness comes from what is said, not from how it is styled. Never use redaction effects as decoration.
