Glossary

• Akasha - The Ascended Avatar credited with the development of writing and the Akashic Record
• Akashayana Sangha - one of the old names of the Akashic Brotherhood (according to Trad Book: Akashic Brotherhood Revised)
• Akashic Record - A combination of books, scrolls and extradimensional shared mind space in the first 2 editions of Mage. Trad Book: Akashic Brotherhood Revised pg. 75 changes it to an ability to gain thoughts, feelings & memories from other living Akashics.
• Chi - a model for Quintessence
• Kemian - Talisman
• Sarasvati - the Ascended Avatar responsible for complex communication
• Sword Saint - An Akashic who uses a dedicated weapon focus for Life & Matter. Dedicated to the Ascension War

I never accepted the idea that the Akashics, with their teachings and beliefs, would become bloodthirsty killers like the books say they were in the Himalayan War.

In the first 2 editions, Do is its own martial art. In Revised Edition, Do is more of a concept and Akashics learn specific, Sleeper martial arts. Mage20 makes it its own martial art again.

Revised Edition states the Devil Tigers of the Kuei-jin and the Akashic Brotherhood have enmity between them. Pg. 18 Trad Book: Akashic Brotherhood Revised

“In theory, the Kannagara are the undisputed leaders of the Akashayana Sangha (the Akashic Brotherhood). Pg. 38 Trad Book: Akashic Brotherhood Revised

The ancestral Chantry is called Temple of Inner Truth. Avatar Storm cut it off so attempting to rebuild in Garuda Valley of Tibet. Pg. 24 Trad Book: Akashic Brotherhood Revised

Pg. 19 of Trad Book: Euthanatos Revised had an interesting idea for the Akashic Brotherhood. Around 900 BC & before, Akashics used their magic to extend their lives & prevent disease & disability. Many of them didn’t know how out of touch they were with regular people. It may have affected many of the teachings they recorded that are still studied today. Modern Akashics can’t achieve this with the same regularity because of modern consensual reality making it so difficult.

Mage 20 changes Tradition name to Akashayana.
