Non-Life

The so-called Non-Life of matter -- usually furniture of some sort -- is the interval of time in which a piece of furniture maintains its existence. During a piece of furniture's Non-Life, it has limited knowledge of its surroundings and the going-ons of the outside world. However, it is unable to move, think, or feel -- until, of course, an Elemenstor gives it the abilities to do so. Once furniture is brought to life by an Elemenstor, it enters the inanimate equivalent of Life known as Stream, and follows more or less the same rules as other beings in Life.

An example of this is the Nightstand -- when in its Non-Life, the Nightstand withholds feelings of overcoming anger, and when it is released from its physical restraint (its Non-Life) by an Elemenstor, it simulteaneously releases its anger and anguish at others, going on a mass murder spree.

It should be noted that although most objects take heed of the natural rules of both the Non-Life and Life, one object has actually broken free of this restraint. Without the aid of an Elemenstor, the Mute Blade of Non-Life was able to come out of its Non-Life to Life (rather than Stream), most likely because of its supreme resentment -- the only exception to this rule. The Mute Blade of Non-Life was also once the indirect manisfestation of all Non-Life.

The current manifestation of Non-Life (albeit an indirect one) is Aklom Reklats, who is also part of all that remains of the Starborn Gem.
