Passions

Passions are essential to life in the Delirium. With a strong Gift for shaping and enough passion, almost anything is possible. Without passion, life cannot survive. Hence, residents of the Delirium pride themselves on seeking and feeling great passions, and refer to themselves as the Passionate.

Many of the Passionate view the beings in the First Fold as far less passionate, and thus less alive. The grayness of some First Folders' emotional lives would make them nearly useless as citizens on a shard. So many of the Passionate view First Folders with a kind of superiority or prejudice. This prejudice has increased since the Severing.

Passions are used as currency and raw materials, frozen in passion crystals.
