Advoco Caelum. Opsecro Caeles: what does this mean? I can't find it anywhere in the pages. -- Shenron 12:18, 28 September 2011 (CEST)

Advoco, Caelum, Opsecro, and Caeles are individual Latin concepts I've meshed together possibly making what someone literate in Latin would consider a heresy, to pass an ethic duality concept. Here go the translations:

Advoco: call, summon, invite, convoke, call for; call in as counsel; invoke the Gods
Caelum: heaven, sky, heavens; space; air, climate, weather; universe, world; God
Opsecro: entreat/beseech/implore/pray; (w/deity as object); [fidem ~ => beg support]
Caeles: the_Gods (usu. pl.); divinity, dweller in heaven; saint (Ecc)

In light of this, Advoco Caelum would roughly translate as calling for the higher power from above in a certain respectful but otherwise neutral stance, while Opsecro Caeles would go for very humbly praying to the Gods in a much more submissive posture. The idea would be to describe two ethically correct paths towards spiritual enlightenment, one representing the ideal of a paladin and the other of a monk, so to speak. One more aggressive, of labor, and the other one more passive, of contemplation. -- D'Arricarrère 08:23, 5 November 2011 (CEST)
