Hey, Lyr.
A few things regarding your question about when and how an ethaefal could get their gnosis when applying for it at creation --
1. Gnosis marks had by ethaefals in their past lives do not reappear in their new life. They have to be earned all over again.
2. You don't have to start playing your ethaefal when they fall. They can have fallen a year ago or a few hundred. Your gnosis story would have to take place at some point
after they've fallen.
I hope this helps! Feel free to hit me up if you have any other questions. Especially those pertaining to ethaefal as I have acquired a decent amount of info on them.
Some might even call me an ethpert.
See what I did there?
