The Symbols of Narayan, or Narayan Code, Is a set of symbols seemingly related strongly to Aspects, and by extension, Alchemy.

All of the symbols are created using a base consisting of four blank circles split into quarters which intersect to create four ellipses. Not quite like a Venn Diagram. These four quad-sected circles are contained within one larger circle which is also split into four sections. Each of the 20 half-circles in the base either have a positive or negative value. Different combinations of horizontal and vertical quarter-circles are either filled in or left empty within this original structure to create a single Narayan symbol. The symbol meanings seem to relate greatly to aspects. In both theme and application.

There are a few Narayan symbols vital to the game function. They are likened to Game info in a code. They are: exist, static, cycle, entropy, and rebirth.






Entry Codes

Each of the trolls has to have their server player input their a unique set of Narayan symbols into the Etchelizer as their entry code into the Medium at the beginning of the game. The symbols relate to the player's Aspect.

The meanings of the Narayan codes used as entry codes for the main 12 trolls are as follows:

  • Arcjec: change, resurrect, remember, inhibit
  • Taz: honor, force, question, rebirth
  • Laivan: intelligence, elevate, balance, creativity
  • Murrit: encourage, wisdom, weave, time
  • Dismas: momentum, resilience, control, future
  • Albion: tradition, contradict, harmony, ethereal
  • Weird Al opening door into Dismas's hive: infinite, constraint. WA revealing Dismas's codes: discover. WA killing lizard dad: sacrifice, dependence. WA releasing Dismas: constraint.
  • Serpaz: motion, form, chaos, stimulate
  • Calder: spur, society, convey, void
  • Ellsee: energy, system, sacrifice, merge
  • Sova: survival, constraint, love, possibility
  • Jentha: dependence, nurture, growth, sustain
  • Occeus: civilization, transform, power, machine

while not the main 12 themselves, instances of the ancestors of the main 12 interacting with the Narayan code include: Forgiven attacking Executive: flow and constraint, then momentum and resilience page 1434: exist

Alchemy

The empty Narayan base for the symbols is seen on the hands of Alchemists, and these markings are shown to glow in different formations of Narayan symbols when the user is Alchemizing, which means interacting with aspects.

When Weird Al is doing something to Lefty on page 1088, his hands glow to make the Narayan symbols of force and motion.

Other characters have the Narayan symbols including Sestro, Edolon, and The Executive.
