|Introduction='''Jirna''' is the Ascendant Spirit of Rot and Decay within the world of Adaris. Jirna exists as the literal embodiment of organic decomposition, putrefaction, and the breakdown of matter, holding a significant place within the spiritual hierarchy and ecological balance of the world. Like all entities in Adaris, Jirna's essence is ultimately derived from Daathir, the first consciousness.

|Nature and influence=Jirna's primary domain encompasses all facets of rot, decay, and organic degradation. This influence extends across a wide variety of natural processes, including the decomposition of animal and plant matter, as well as the proliferation of fungi, mold, and mildew. Furthermore, Jirna governs the fermentation of organic materials, the spoiling of food, the progression of infected, festering wounds, and the structural weakening of wood and other organic building materials. ~~As an elemental and conceptual force,~~ Jirna regulates both the acceleration and retardation of these processes.

Nascent spirits under Jirna's influence consist of highly temporary, individualized instances of decomposition, such as the rotting of a single piece of fruit, the breakdown of an individual fallen tree, or the short-term festering of a localized wound.

|Realm=Jirna resides within the [[House of Jernah]].

=== Geography ===

The House of Jernah is situated on the northern periphery of the Great Southern Swamp, located within the region of Falanga in Payalwa. The surrounding environment is characterized by dense humidity, stagnant waters, and a constant cycle of organic death and renewal.

=== Architecture and Domain ===

The seat of Jirna’s power is a decaying, castle-like structure. This fortress is surrounded as far as the eye can see by massive termite mounds. Jirna commands these termites, utilizing them as a specialized army to maintain the domain.

=== Physical Manifestation ===

When interacting with the physical world or manifesting within the realm, Jirna frequently assumes the form of a massive, human-sized termite queen. This form reflects the highly organized, collective consciousness of the insects that serve the spirit.

|Osia=The followers and practitioners who align themselves with the Osia of Jirna gain the ability to manipulate the forces of decomposition. Through disciplined attunement to Jirna's consciousness''',''' these practitioners can influence organic breakdown in several distinct ways. Adepts can either hasten the rotting of matter or significantly slow it down, and they possess the ability to manipulate the growth of mold, mildew, various fungi, and the bacteria responsible for spoiling food. Perhaps the most practical and medicinal application of this Osia is the ability to halt the festering of wounds, allowing followers to slow down or entirely stop infections to preserve life by freezing the process of decay. Additionally, adherents can target and weaken organic structures, such as wooden fortifications or tools, by inducing rapid rot.
