On Carnal
On the Carnal is the most famous of Opparitha 's exhortary works, popular among lay readers though widely derided by Three Seas intellectuals .

Excerpts

"Men never resemble one another so much as when asleep or dead."

On Folly of Men
On the Folly of Men is the magnum opus of the famed satirist Ontillas .

Excerpts

“There are three, and only three, kinds of men in the world: cynics, fanatics, and Mandate Schoolmen.” “Men are forever pointing at others, which is why I always follow the knuckle and not the nail.” “They strike down the weak and call it justice. They ungird their loins and call it reparation. They bark like dogs and call it reason.” “Of course we make crutches of one another. Why else would we crawl when we lose our lovers?” “As a miller once told me, when the gears do not meet, they become as teeth. So it is with men and their machinations.”

On Invitic Sages
On the Invitic Sages is a work by Quallas .

Excerpts

"...and they scoff at heroes, saying that Fate serves disaster to many, and feasts to few. They claim that willing is but a form of blindness, the conceit of beggars who think they wrest alms from the jaws of lions. The Whore alone, they say, decides who is brave and who is rash, who will be hero and who will be fool. And so they dwell in a world of victims."

Onkis
Onkis is the Goddess of hope and aspiration. One of the so-called Compensatory Gods , who reward devotion in life with paradise in the afterlife, Onkis draws followers from all walks of life, though rarely in great numbers. She is only mentioned twice in the Higarata , and in the (likely apocryphal) Parnishtas she is portrayed as a prophetess, not of the future, but of the motivations of Men. The so-called “shakers” belong to an extreme branch of the Cult , where the devotees ritually strive to be “possessed” by the Goddess. Her symbol is the Copper Tree (which also happens to be the device of the ancient Nonman Mansion of Siöl , though no link has been established). Onkis is also called the Singer-in-the-Dark. Her idol depicts the severed head of a beautiful woman upon a copper tree. In the Irreüma in Sumna , her idol is described as: The idol also has a small trough gouged in her pedestal for food offerings.

Onta
Onta is the name given by the Schools to the very fabric of existence. Only the Few can see the onta, although it is not ‘seen’ as much as it is ‘experienced’. Most Eärwan scholars agree that the onta is the secular version of the theological concept of animas , the ‘breath of God’, the moving force of all existence.

Aside from the Psûkhe , which may or may not be a true form of sorcery , all sorcerous manifestations and practitioners leave a Mark on the onta, also called the 'bruising of the onta'.
