| '''The Five Afflictions''' are strange, amoral beings which cause trouble on [[Palisade (planet)|Palisade]] for just about anyone, regardless of their factional allegiance. Their precise origin and purpose is unknown. However, they are known to have resided on the planet for thousands of years, long enough to have received names from the [[New Earth Hegemony]], and later the [[Divine Free States]] and [[Principality of Kesh]]. Their current auto-antonym names appear to come from the Afflictions themselves; Austin stated that Cleave, for example, "has called itself, or people have dreamt the name" Cleave.<ref name=":0">[[PALISADE 03: Today Is a Monday]]</ref> Each has pawns (minions) of its own, and interferes with the senses in some way.
