 Aremakh is not a kind aspect. When she appears, death and blood are soon to follow. She represents Mishra's belief that humanity must endure pain to grow, and that all they hold dear must sometimes be destroyed for life to move forward. She often appears with a single target or goal in mind, and will not cease on her path of ruin until that target has been reduced to scorched dust or a bloody pulp.

-This aspect appears as a humanoid woman nearly a hundred feet tall, and has only appeared on battlefields or sites of similar widespread destruction. She wears a crimson cowl underneath which her face appears to be a ball of blazing fire. Similarly to the Adversary, tongues of spectral flame surround her. The Guiding Hand of Ruin seems to conduct destruction as if it is a musical piece, heightening the damage of each explosion, the strength of each weapon, and the efficacy of each gout of magic.

-Agni has never spoken, and seems to appear to those who pray to her before the day of a great battle. She appears for only short periods of time - often less than ten minutes. However, some have heard her laughing and whooping along with her priests, reveling in the destruction. She is borne from Mishra's joy at witnessing and participating in the act of destruction.

 To these followers of Orus, they took on a new persona, one who urged on the wanton destruction, whose answer to any question or problem was to blow it up. Monsters and villains blown to pieces by grenades, walls and doors were merely piles of rubble who haven’t ripened yet, bullets that could be so much more!
-As the movement gained more and more popularity, the sect of Orus eventually became too large and split off from the main church as its own priesthood and temple, just as the aspect of Orus separated from the main wellspring of emotion into Mishra, a fully formed deity of their own right. Scholars believe this myth regards the birth of Agni, who is the most widely worshiped aspect of Mishra on Jaern.

 The worship of Mishra as a war goddess came after her birth, as explosives and firearms began to see more use in war. As the death tolls from these devices mounted, many came to see their destructive force as something dark, and feared the deity worshiped with them.
