The Invisible Ones

The Invisible Ones are a group of seven beings worshipped as the Deity of Social, The nature of The Invisible Ones is left unclear, though it is hinted that they may be extraterrestrials, or beings akin to the Great Old Ones in the works of H. P. Lovecraft. The star Sirius is of particular astrological significance to The Invisible Ones, with clues identifying it as their place of origin. It is during the so-called Dog Days of August, when Sirius is in conjunction with the Sun that their influence over mankind is at its apex. By subtly influencing the minds of men, the beings are said to be "playing with our history as if it's a game", affecting events in world history over the course of centuries.

·        Rage, which is represented by the color red.

·        Fear, which is represented by the color black.

·        Surprise, which is represented by the color white and is also the neutral point between all emotions.

·        Disgust, which is represented by the color green.

·        Contempt, which is represented by the color purple.
