Jubal Il-Sur

Jabul Il-Sur is a Paxian leader and mystic who most notably created a popular diverging branch of Segra worship called the Gnosis Segris. After confronting Segra with many of his followers, his movement was condemned and his whole race of the Strong were cursed to eternal entrapment in the Scumoctacon. It is for this reason that Jabul Il-Sur has been referred to as the Heart of the Scumoctacon, and the reason why the entire race of Segra's creation is eternally damned to a tormenting conscious non-existence.

Gnosis Segris
The religion of Gnosis Segris is an offshoot of its contemporary religion of Segrism. Segrism at this time in Paxia was focused around the worship of Segra as a protective war goddess that created the race of the Strong. Segra was seen as a queen goddess that gave strength to people to fight and resist the violence and turbulence that was inherent in the world. However, in the state of Tromauch, a developed part of Segra's Paxian conquests, Jabul Il-Sur would come to gain a following surrounding his ideas of Gnosis Segris around 214 of the Paxian Era. Jabul Il-Sur preached a different cosmological story, saying that the world was not created by Segra as she had claimed, but was generated by the Great Machine, called Kalpazas in Paxian. The Great Machine was supposedly generating every realm of reality, which Jabul believed to be divided into 13 Hell Realms, called the Quai Seuwyn Nashaqrei. People supposedly switched between these 13 realms upon daeth, and would experience different forms of suffering and traumas within each. Paxia, as he believed, was the realm of dispassion and stagnation. This Great Machine would eventually break itself down after 13 distinct eras, which would render every soul in the simulation free from their mortal bodies, and place everybody into the perpetual bliss of non-existence. Importantly, Jabul Il-Sur believed that his time in Paxia was the final of the 13 eras, and he believed Segra would rise up and defeat the Machine, releasing them all from their mortal torment. This belief, and his acting on it with his community, would eventually lead to his downfall and eternal torture at the hands of Segra.

Downfall
In the year 220 PE, Jabul Il-Sur brought his community to a beach in the midst of a hurricane. He witnessed the destruction of some of his peoples' villages, and he called upon Segra, who was the God-Queen of the continent, to come and stop the storm. Segra appeared over the water, and he accused her of letting the suffering of her people continue when she could do much to stop it. They debated for hours here, and eventually Jabul Il-Sur pointed at her and blamed her for the suffering of the world, claiming that she had the obligation to destroy the Great Machine, and put them all to rest in eternal bliss. Upon hearing this, she became furious. This was a rebellion from the core teaching she had imparted onto her conquered realm, and an unappreciative leader who claimed supreme knowledge.

Segra then struck Jabul Il-Sur down several times with lightning, and she lifted the souls of all her race, the Strong, from their bodies. She then took them into the void and constructed a bastardized version of Jabul Il-Sur's conception of the Great Machine, which is now known as the Scumoctacon. This was the ending of the Gnosis Segris movement, and the beginning of the eternal torment in the new Godhead.

The Scumoctacon
The Scumoctacon definitely has influence over Rathnir and Eldham, although it is debated by many what its true relationship is to the realms. The modern day Segrists believe that the Scumoctacon is the true Godhead of Rathnir and Eldham, which is collectively dreaming of this reality. Jabul Il-Sur is always portrayed as some core part of the Scumoctacon, either as its brain, its core, or physically trapped and bound by the souls of the followeres which he has doomed to eternal torture.
