	The King of All Tears embodies the [[Strange Epiphany]] of the sensation of thinking, specifically the phenomenon of self-awareness and the internal monologue. Integral scholars emphasize that this should not be mistaken for intelligence in the mortal sense. Rather, Illithon appears to experience existence as an unbroken cascade of self-referential thought, where every idea immediately reflects upon itself.

	Like all Eldritch Gods, the ~~Stone Dripping Blood~~ does not display recognizable psychology. Its behavior is inscrutable and inconsistent, offering no evidence of intention, desire, or awareness. Integral scholars increasingly caution against assuming consciousness at all, suggesting that Soma may function as a masked phenomenon rather than an agent, analogous to a Chinese Room executing a process without understanding.

	Integral scholarship classifies the King of All Tears as a godlike phenomenon rather than a true god. It does not seem to manifest any consistent form of will, instead, manifesting through the amplification, fragmentation, and eventual weaponization of thought itself. Most information concerning the King of All Tears derives from [[Thought Eaters]] theological records, suppressed chronicles of the [[Dwarfhome]] incursion, and postwar analyses produced under the authority of the [[Lich Queen]].

	~~Integral scholarship increasingly describes the~~ influence of the King of All Tears as a progressive ~~cognitive infection~~, ~~distinct from auditory hallucination or bodily alienation. This corruption targets~~ the internal monologue ~~itself~~.		The influence of the King of All Tears manifests as a progressive corruption of cognition, specifically the internal monologue and the capacity to trust one’s own thoughts. Integral scholars classify this progression as a cognitive perceptual infection, culminating in catastrophic delusional disorder.

	The earliest stage is marked by an unnaturally loud and persistent internal monologue. Affected individuals report an inability to stop thinking, not in the sense of racing thoughts, but in the sense that every thought announces itself with intrusive clarity. The mind becomes impossible to ignore. This stage is frequently accompanied by persistent, unpleasant déjà vu, a sense that one’s own thoughts are familiar yet subtly incorrect.		==Environmental Cues==

	~~As exposure deepens, victims enter a phase of alienation of thought~~. ~~The internal monologue begins to feel external~~, ~~as if observed~~, ~~commented upon~~, ~~or subtly guided by an unseen presence. This experience closely resembles depersonalization~~, ~~though with the crucial distinction~~ that ~~the alien quality is not emotional detachment, but loss of trust in one’s own cognition~~.		Regions under Illithon’s influence exhibit subtle but pervasive cognitive anomalies. Individuals report heightened self-consciousness, compulsive rumination, and spontaneous grief without identifiable cause. Prolonged exposure is often associated with collective unease, shared intrusive ideas, and sudden emotional breakdowns that lack external triggers.

	~~In terminal cases~~, the ~~individual~~ develops a ~~condition analogous~~ to ~~extreme~~, ~~persistent psychotic schizophrenia~~. ~~The~~ internal monologue ~~is no longer merely other; it has become dominant~~. All perception, memory, and decision-making are ~~filtered~~ through an alien narrative ~~structure~~. At this ~~stage~~, ~~the afflicted can no longer reliably distinguish reality~~ from ~~delusion~~, ~~resulting in behavior driven by elaborate~~ and ~~often catastrophic false beliefs~~.		Written and spoken records produced in such areas frequently display recursive commentary, excessive self-correction, and contradictions within a single document, suggesting that thought itself has become unstable.

			==Early Corruption: Perceptual Awareness==

			The initial stage is marked by a distracting and persistent internal monologue. Affected individuals experience an inability to disengage from their own thoughts, which announce themselves with intrusive clarity. This is not experienced as external sound, but as an overwhelming presence of cognition. Persistent, unpleasant déjà vu commonly accompanies this stage, as thoughts feel simultaneously familiar and subtly incorrect.

			==Advanced Corruption: Perceptual Otherness==

			As corruption deepens, the afflicted develops a profound sense that their internal monologue is not entirely their own. Thoughts appear observed, commented upon, or subtly guided by an alien presence. This experience resembles depersonalization, but with the critical distinction that the alienation centers on cognition rather than emotion. At this stage, individuals lose confidence in their ability to reason, interpret evidence, or distinguish memory from invention. Doubt becomes constant and inescapable.

			==Terminal Corruption: Catastrophic Psychotic Delusion Disorder==

			In the terminal stage, the alien internal monologue fully dominates the mind. All perception, memory, and decision-making are processed through elaborate and internally consistent delusional frameworks. The afflicted retains a sense of self, but that self is subordinated to an alien cognitive narrative that cannot be questioned or escaped.

			Behavior becomes extraordinarily dangerous, driven by false beliefs experienced as absolute truth. Integral healers classify this condition as Psychotic Delusional Cognition Disorder, a state functionally indistinguishable from extreme, persistent psychotic schizophrenia, and universally fatal to social functioning.

These tendrils do not writhe aggressively, but sway subtly, as if responding to unspoken ideas in the minds of nearby observers. Witnesses report that when this form is present, internal monologues become painfully audible and impossible to silence, looping and repeating with increasing clarity until concentration becomes impossible.
