Extra Info:
Kesil Face

Shining jewels are scattered across the contours of a galactic visage, and edges drawn between them sketch the outline of a sashed Fool. Far away at the chrome crest, beads of bright and searing light suggest the shape of a medial ewer, and beyond its spout, a vast and timeful structure. The inside of the mask is ribboned with burnt tracery from where it was molded on a gallium lathe, then dyed with the milked irises of shedim and set to dry in a pool of warm static.

Perfect

The Kesil Face is a sultan relic located within the Tomb of the Eaters.

It can be found in a reliquary located next to the tomb of the sultan belonging to the 1st period, potentially alongside other sultan relics. This reliquary will be guarded by organic cherubim of the sultan's allied factions which must be defeated before the Kesil Face can be removed from the reliquary. As with all sultan masks, removing the Kesil Face from the reliquary will cause the tombs and reliquaries of the other sultans to disappear, preventing the player from accessing their contents.

In addition to the stat bonuses listed here, the Kesil Face will have additional effects based on the history of its sultan; it will grant +200 reputation with any factions the sultan was favored by, and -200 reputation with any factions they were disliked by. It will also have a tier 7, armor-based relic effect based on the sultan's theme.[1][2]

Etymology and History

Kesil is a term found in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "fool" or "foolish" in English. The word appears in various contexts, primarily in the wisdom literature, such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, where it is used to describe a person who lacks wisdom, understanding, or moral insight. The term is derived from the Hebrew root "k-s-l," which conveys the idea of being dull or sluggish in understanding.

In the biblical context, a kesil is characterized by several traits:

· Lack of Wisdom: A kesil is often depicted as someone who does not seek or value wisdom. This lack of wisdom leads to poor decision-making and a failure to understand the consequences of one's actions.

· Moral Insensitivity: The fool is not only intellectually deficient but also morally insensitive. This insensitivity often results in behavior that is contrary to God's commandments and principles.

· Complacency: The kesil is often complacent, content with their ignorance and unwilling to seek knowledge or change. This complacency can lead to destruction, as noted in Proverbs 1:32.

· Pride: Despite their lack of understanding, fools can be prideful, believing themselves to be wise. This pride is a barrier to gaining true wisdom and insight.
