{{Ascendant Spirit Sections

|Introduction='''Jirna''' is the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of Rot and Decay within the world of [[Adaris]]. Jirna is the literal embodiment of organic decomposition, putrefaction, and the breakdown of matter, holding a significant place within the spiritual hierarchy and the world's ecological balance. 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 range of natural processes, including the decomposition of animal and plant matter and 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. Jirna regulates both the acceleration and retardation of these processes.

Jirna regulates both the acceleration and retardation of these processes.

|Relationship with other elements=Within the spiritual hierarchy of Adaris, Jirna holds supreme dominion over the lower tiers of consciousness that manifest within the spectrum of decomposition. Jirna acts as the focal authority for lesser, localized spirits of decay, which are categorized by the duration and scale of their existence.

In contrast to the Duality Theory stand various monistic theories of spirits (often referred to by scholars as monotheocentric or mono-conceptual frameworks). These arguments maintain that spirits are strictly bound to a single, unyielding concept. In this view, Jirna is purely the force of breakdown, and any subsequent regrowth is entirely the domain of separate, distinct elemental or ancestral spirits.

|Symbolism and iconography=The artistic representation and iconography of Jirna across Adaris are heavily tied to themes of mortality, insectoid hierarchy, and spoiled harvest. Depictions of Jirna in a massive, insectoid form as a termite queen represent the spirit's absolute dominion over its specialized army and its role as a consumer of weakened matter. Meanwhile, statues and paintings often portray Jirna as a decaying human figure in various stages of advanced decomposition, serving as a memento mori for mortal viewers. In agricultural communities, images of rotten and spoiled fruit serve as localized shorthand for Jirna's presence and influence over the harvest, and these icons are sometimes placed at the borders of fields to ward off unchecked blight.
