Dvanagask is the state of clarity that results from the perfect amount of pain. The word means "pain focus" in High Vinthish. Too little and one is asleep or oblivious, too much pain and one is numb. It was considered the ideal state by the ancient Emra Gohg cult and the modern-day Vurg. The problem with these two "cultures of pain", however, was that dvanagask would become harder to pin down as one's pain tolerance increased.
- Through my pain I attain focus and higher awareness. This is my advantage over those who avoid pain. And yet I must take care not to dull my senses with excess, unless circumstance allows for revelry.
