Vessels of Sin


The Vessels of Sin are seven relics inhabited by a Demon of Sin. Passed from one individual to another over the course of history, they are responsible for many events in the history of Bolganio.

Creation
After Eve Moonlit's death in EC 014, her children, Hänsel and Gretel, split her Original Sin into seven fragments, creating vessels for each Demon using household objects. Afterwards, the Sins were scattered across the world. The following year, Held tasked Elluka Clockworker with collecting the vessels of sin, watching over the progress of her quest over the centuries.

Venomania Event
Eventually, the Demon of Lust, inhabiting a katana, was obtained by I.R. and subsequently given to Sateriasis Venomania in EC 136. Entering a contract with the Demon, the Asmodean Duke gained the power to charm women. Later that year, I.R. transferred the Demon of Sloth from its human host to the Clockworker's Doll. At some point, the Marlon Royal Family gained ownership of the Golden Key. Eventually, the key was given to Count Kachess Crim by his lover, Yufina Marlon.

In EC 137, Kachess investigated into the disappearances and assassinated Sateriasis with the key in its dagger form. I.R. then reclaimed the sword and doll before fleeing. Several years later, the Clockworker's Doll activated and forged a new persona, impersonating Mikulia. Settling in Calgaround in EC 141, the "Flower of the Plateau" eventually married the local lord, eliminating any link to "her" past and eventually poisoning her husband in EC 151 for unknown reasons.

Mysterious Plague
Sometime during the EC 200s, the Glass of Conchita ended up in the town of Gula, Beelzenia. Spreading a plague, it decimated the town's populace before ending up in the stomach of a baemu nearly a century later in EC 296. Discovering the pig, Muzuri Conchita had the pig served for his daughter Banica's birthday celebration. As a result, the Conchita household was infected with the Gula plague. Meanwhile, the Golden Key had been passed down to Carlos Marlon, who had discovered how to make use of the key's magical properties from a shaman living in the Millennium Tree Forest in Elphegort. At some point, the Clockworker's Doll activated once again, assuming the identity of the daughter of the Calgaround Family and eventually becoming known as Phantom Thief Platonic.

At some point, the Great Levin Church gained ownership of the Twin Swords of Levianta and stored them in Beelzenia's Lucifenia territory. Travelling to Gasto, the mage AB-CIR explained to Muzuri how to survive the plague in exchange for the glass, although only a handful of members of the household were able to survive the plague during its ten-year period. Encountering a blunder in Marlon, the sorcerer was forced to give up the glass. The vessel of Gluttony then ended up in the possession of Arte and Pollo, Banica's twins servants, who stored it in a hole in their room.

Disappearance of Conchita
In EC 324, Banica collapsed and was confined to her bed due to her unhealthy eating habits. The noble was then visited by the Demon of Gluttony and offered to seal a contract with it. Being offered a chance to taste the world's "ultimate foods", Banica accepted, making a contract with the Demon and gaining the power to eat anything and still remain healthy. AB-CIR then hired the Platonic to steal the glass, although the thief was unsuccessful due to Banica reanimating the household's deceased servants using the glass.

At some point, Elluka Clockworker approached the Levin Church in Lucifenia, attempting to retrieve the twin swords. The sorceress was instead given a fake pair. Thinking she had the real vessel of Envy, AB-CIR then tasked Platonic with stealing them from her after the thief reported her failure to the mage. Serving the lord of Castle Hedgehog in Lioness, the sorcerer also encountered Carlos Marlon, captured as a political enemy of Lioness. Tasking him with infiltrating the Conchita household and steal the glass, AB-CIR had him pose as the famous chef Joseph, changing his face with the Venom Sword.

Taking the Golden Key with him, Carlos successfully infiltrated the mansion and was employed by Banica, with the two eventually entering a romance in EC 324. Realizing his lover was already insane, Carlos attempted to kill both himself and Banica, brewing a powerful poison with the Golden Key's shavings as an ingredient a year later in EC 325. Although the chef had successfully committed suicide, the Duke had survived due to her demon contract.

At some point, Elluka captured Platonic, using her prophetic dream ability to predict the thief's actions. The pink-haired mage was then hired by the Beelzenian Empire to investigate the Gourmet Noble Banica. Taking the captured thief with her, Elluka broke into the mansion, finding it in perfect order and discovering the Glass of Conchita. Platonic then stole the glass from Elluka, successfully completing her mission and handing the glass to her employer. Sometime afterward, AB-CIR lost ownership of the Venom Sword as well as the glass, although eventually retrieving the Clockworker's Doll from Calgaround, Elphegort.

The Daughter of Fog
In EC 470, Abyss I.R. tracked down the Venom Sword and determined it to be in Elphegort, where it was in the hands of Zenon. Burning Zenon's body, she knocked him unconscious and took the sword. Deciding to test if it still worked, the mage approached Asmodean's Head of Intelligence Futapie to research on the boy's past, intending to use him as a test subject. Abyss I.R. then conspired with General Shalgham, Zenon's miltary superior, who wanted to have Zenon, now known as Gast Venom, executed for being a descendant of Sateriasis Venomania.

The two had Yvette, Shalgham's stepdaughter, pose as Sarah, Gast's deceased sister, and "visit" Gast in an ancient altar in the Misty Mountains later that year. With Shalgham pretending to have the altar destroyed, Gast demanded "Sarah" give him the Venom Sword, intending to kill Shalgham with it. However, the Abyss' plan failed when Yvette murdered her stepfather with the Golden Key. Although surprised the girl wielded the Vessel of Wrath, Abyss I.R. decided not to pursue her for the time being. She instead decided to confront Gast, once again knocking him unconscious and taking back the sword.

Beginnings of the Conspiracy
Three years later in EC 480, Abyss I.R. the Venom Sword Prim Marlon. Conspiring against her childhood friend Anne Lucifen d'Autriche, the Marlon Queen then used the Venom Sword to seduce Anne's husband, King Arth Lucifen d'Autriche of Lucifenia. Over the course of her stay, Prim entered an affair with Arth, eventually becoming pregnant with his child and giving birth to Ney Marlon several years later to be experimented on by the sorceress. Eventually, Prim recruited Duke Sfarz into her conspiracy.

With the help of the Duke's intelligence network, Abyss I.R. gained ownership of the Glass of Conchita as well as the Marlon Spoon, the Vessel of Greed. At some point, Abyss I.R. split the Vessel of Pride into four fragments, the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia. In EC 482, the sorceress gave the Clocwkorker's Doll to Prim. In EC 490, Abyss I.R. used the Glass of Conchita to conjure a strain of Gula to infect Arth, who was invading Beelzenia at the time.

A year later, Abyss I.R. set a trap of Riliane and Alexiel, Anne's twin children using one of the Mirrors of Lucifenia. Placing the mirror in a small black box, the mage then buried it in the sand along the Lucifenian coastline, where it was subsequently discovered by the twins. Transplanting the Demon of Gluttony into the hand mirror, Riliane was eventually possessed by the demon. Sometime afterwards, Prim's brother, Presi, exorcised the demon from Riliane, borrowing its power. However, his machinations were eventually discovered by Mariam Futapie and Elluka Clockworker, and the noble was killed in the ensuing struggle. Recovering the mirror, Elluka successfully sealed it.

In EC 494, Prim gave the Marlon Spoon to Mikina Freesis, Duke Sfarz's daughter. Accidentally using it to kill her father and burn her son Shaw's back, Mikina and her husband's business thrived thanks to the spoon's powers. Mikina was eventually forced to replace her father in Prim's conspiracy, funding it with the Freesis Firm's enormous assets. Two years later in EC 496, Abyss I.R. then conjured another strain of Gula to infect Anne, who became bedridden as a result. The queen then eventually died of the disease three years later and was succeeded by her daughter.

Reign of Evil
In EC 499, Ney infiltrated the Lucifenian Royal Palace and transplanted the Demon of Pride to Riliane using one of the mirrors. Becoming the country's tyrannical ruler, the young princess was eventually despised by the people for her despicable reign. At some point, Yvette sealed the Golden Key in the Held Monastery.

Abyss I.R. then gave Mikina the Venom Sword, who then passed it on to her husband Keel. Kyle Marlon, Prim's son, then came in contact with the sword, resulting in his feelings for Michaela, one of the Freesis family's maids, becoming passionate. With Michaela being murdered during the Lucifenia-Elphegort War Kyle decided to avenge her death, assisting Germaine Avadonia, leader of the Lucifenian Resistance, in deposing the Daughter of Evil in what would be recorded as the Lucifenian Revolution.

Sometime after the revolution, Elluka and her disciple Gumillia the Venom Sword from the burned remains of Keel's mansion. Sealing both vessels, the two eventually discovered both demons absent from them and returned to Lucifenia to investigate. Meanwhile at some point, Clarith attempted to murder the former princess at the coastline with the Golden Key. With the Demon of Wrath masquerading as Michaela, Clarith entered a vicious rage before being stopped by the spirit of Allen Avadonia.

With the Kingdom of Marlon having annexed Lucifenia, Abyss I.R. transplanted the Demon of Lust to one of the mirrors, while having Kyle possessed by the Demon of Pride. Ruling the territory with an iron fist, the demon was eventually exorcised from Kyle by Gumillia, with the help of Germaine and Yukina Freesis.

War of 505
In EC 505, Ney was given the Glass of Conchita and tasked with capturing Retasan Fortress from Beelzenia. Due to being a reincarnation of Gretel, the former maid was able to utilize the Vessel of Gluttony, reanimating the fallen Beelzenian soldiers and using them to launch attacks on Retasan.

Later that year, Prim brought her last mirror as well as the Clockworker's Doll to Castle Hedgehog, feigning illness. Ney then followed her, summoning more undead soldiers to guard the castle. Travelling to Marlon, Kyle eventually confronted his mother, who was subsequently murdered by Ney in an attempt to get her attention. Entering a vicious frenzy, the Demon of Gluttony eventually granted Ney full power. However, Kyle was able to overpower and defeat his half-sister thanks to Chartette Langley's rocket glove.

With Ney unconscious, Kyle recovered the vessels of sin from Castle Hedgehog. Storing them in the same room where Ney was tied up, Abyss I.R., possessing Mikina broke into the room, stole several of the vessels of sin, and killed Ney. As a result, Ney's soul was absorbed into the glass and was witnessed by Kyle in a dream. Fleeing to Lucifenia, the sorceress traveled to the Held Monastery. There, she was confronted by Yukina, Germaine and Rin and was defeated.

New Four Horsemen Incident
In EC 508, Abyss I.R. patched up her body and journeyed to Levianta. Meeting with Mikhail Asayev, the two conspired to overthrow the Levin Church using the Twin Swords of Levianta. Envying the other church leaders' positions, Mikhail was possessed by the Demon of Envy and formed Neo Apocalypse with other diehard reformers of the Meta cult. The criminal organization then enacted terrorist attacks on the Church using the twin swords in what would later be known as the New Four Horsemen Incident.

Levianta then petitioned for aid from other countries, with Marlon's largely independent Lucifenia territory sending one unit headed by Lily Mouchet to assist the Leviantan authorities. Abyss I.R. was eventually confronted by Commander Lily and Germaine Avadonia, losing the twin swords to Chartette. At some point, the mage regained the Glass of Conchita from Elluka. Chartette eventually traveled to Jakoku and settled in Enbizaka, reforging the swords into two pairs of scissors, which she passed onto a warrior before being killed by Abyss I.R. in EC 549.

Père Noël
At some point, Julia Abelard gained ownership of the Golden Key. In EC 593, Julia activated the Clockworker's Doll, with the doll assuming the identity of Margarita Felix. Four years later in EC 597, Julia gave the Venom Sword to Seventh Magician, recruiting her into her criminal organization Père Noël. Operating in Rollam, Lucifenia, the fortune teller changed the faces of customers using the Venom Sword, including Kaidor Blankenheim and Julia's apprentice Mayrana Blossom.

Sometime afterward, Julia Abelard adopted an orphan in Rolled. Training him to become a coldblooded assassin, she also recruited him into Père Noël and gave him the Glass of Conchita, though Lemy was unaware of how to utilize its powers. Julia then ordered her apprentice to give a vessel of sin to Kaspar Blankenheim in Toragay in exchange for becoming Père Noël's black market dealer. In EC 608, Julia gave the Golden Key to Gatt Coulomb and ordered him to kill Seventh Magician, who later escaped with the Venom Sword during the Nativity Festival of that year.

A year later in EC 609, Kaspar was poisoned by his wife Margarita. With Kaspar dead, Julia sent Mayrana to retrieve the vessel of sin previously in his possession. Later that year, Margarita enacted a massacre on the populace of Toragay before committing suicide in Mayrana's mansion in Calgaround. Travelling to the Moonlit Residence in Held's Forest, the reawakened doll was confronted by Elluka Clockworker and subsequently absorbed into her soul. The next year, Lemy Abelard was shot by Gumillia, and his soul was absorbed into the glass as a result.

Enbizaka Murders
Sometime during the EC 800s, the two pairs of scissors reforged by Chartette were passed down to the tailor Kayo Sudou by her mother. At some point afterwards, she and the rest of Kayo's family died in a fire, leaving Kayo on the brink of despair. In EC 842, the missionary Elluka Clockworker reached out to Kayo, giving her a new life. Noticing that Kayo envied her pink-haired body, the sorceress agreed to swap bodies with Kayo, at the same time replacing one of Kayo's two pairs of scissors with a fake pair.

However, Kayo had already been possessed by the Demon of Envy at the time, and hallucinated that a stranger was her deceased husband back from the dead. Thinking that the man's wife and two daughters were his mistresses, Kayo murdered each of them before eventually murdering the man himself. The incident would be recorded in the Eastern Magic Record as the Enbizaka Murders, nothing that Kayo had caused an event that shook the world.

Dark Star Scandal
Sometime after the Titanis Sinking Incident in EC 978, Dark Star Court director Gallerian Marlon was convinced to collect the vessels of sin by his friend, the playwright Ma. Presiding over the Spoon Corruption case, the judge eventually gained ownership of the Marlon Spoon. Making a contract with the Demon of Greed to save his "daughter", Gallerian amassed a fortune using the spoon's powers. The young judge also collected the Venom Sword as evidence during the trial of Nyoze Octo.

At some point, Nemesis Sudou gained ownership of the Golden Key. Travelling to the Graveyard restaurant in the mainland of the Union State of Evillious, Gallerian also retrieved the Glass of Conchita and one of the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia. Eventually collecting the other three mirrors as well as Kayo's Scissors, Gallerian decided to construct a theater in which to store the vessels of sin in EC 982. After being ordered to kill her lover by her boss Gallerian, Nemesis Sudou fell under the influence of the Demon of Wrath, eventually being possessed by the demon.

The Hellish Punishment
During the Leviantan Civil War in EC 983, Nemesis traveled to Gallerian's mansion, shooting and killing him. With the Master of the Court dead, Gallerian's properties and possessions were bequeathed onto Ma. At some point, the vessels of sin awakened in Evil's Theater in the Millennium Tree Forest, taking human forms as well as new names for themselves. In EC 998, Nemesis, now the dictator of Elphegort, organized a test launch of the country's new weapon, Punishment, intending to get the upper hand during the Great War. Firing it at the Millennium Tree Forest, the forest was completely obliterated.

Sometime afterward, Sickle tasked Allen with meeting with the seven vessel owners through the demons of sin, whose vessels were collected by Held and Michaela. Apparating down to the decimated forest using the Black Box device, the boy met with the Demon of Lust while the sun god continued making preparations for his plan to save the destroyed Third Period.

Mechanics
Wielders of the vessels can utilize the demons' variety of individual powers, ranging from changing one's appearance to conjuring streams of fire. However, the vessels' owners also risked becoming possessed by the demon, causing them to be influenced to follow their corresponding vice and impacting their personality and actions. Persons with great insecurities are also especially vulnerable to being possessed. Conversely, individuals with carefree personalities are immune to being possessed.

A person can also willingly enter a contract with a demon, thus gaining full access to the demon's powers. There are a variety of ways to establish a contract with a demon, such as impaling oneself with the vessel or drinking from it. While possessed, the demon can communicate telepathically with the host. Being possessed by a demon would sometimes give the individual qualities akin to that of a Hereditary Evil Raiser.

However, a demon's true essence remains in its vessel, and sealing traps it within its vessel, although seals can be easily removed. Sealing appears to be the only way to inhibit a demon's effects, as the vessels of sin are seemingly indestructible. If a demon's vessel is in multiple fragments, the demon can freely travel between the fragments and can only be trapped if all of the fragments are sealed. Conversely, other demons can be transplanted into vacant fragments by a skilled mage using an exorcism spell. Said spell allows the user to manipulate the demons to an extent, although the demons' intentions and motivations are difficult to understand.

Originally, the demons lacked purpose and only existed to spread malice and destruction, however they eventually gained motivations by possessing numerous people. Demons are also capable of "awakening", allowing them to take on human forms. According to the playwright Ma, collecting all seven of the vessels grants the owner a wish.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The vessels are named after the Seven Deadly Sins, the cardinal sins taught in Christian ethics to help explain and elaborate upon human tendencies to commit vices that would lead to other sins.
 * Similarly, the Demons of Sin bear resemblance to the Seven Princes of Hell, powerful demons each aligned with a Deadly Sin who attempt to cause mortals to commit their sin.

Curiosities

 * According to mothy, one of the vessels of sin was once a magic tool before it was inhabited by a demon.
