Personal history
From a young age, Onyomia exhibited a natural talent for glimpsing fragments of the future. Her visions often came unbidden, brief flashes of events that had yet to unfold. Her mother, sensing the danger this gift could bring, urged her to keep it hidden. "The saints will take you away if they find out," her mother warned, her voice tinged with fear. Onyomia obeyed, terrified of being torn from the warmth of her family. She carried her secret like a heavy burden, never daring to confide in anyone.
Onyomia's family were devout followers of Lynç, the god of elves, whose doctrine placed elves far above all other species. Her household was steeped in rituals and unwavering loyalty to Lynç, their beliefs shaping every facet of their lives. Though Onyomia loved her family deeply, she could never accept the supremacy they preached. She held a quiet, personal conviction that no species was inherently greater than another. Yet, out of respect and love for her parents, she kept her dissenting thoughts to herself, silently enduring their zealous practices.
Everything changed one fateful night when Onyomia, then a young woman, experienced a vision unlike any she had ever known. In the depths of her sleep, she was visited by Aionexus, the Elder God of Time. His presence was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, his voice reverberating with an authority that transcended mortal understanding. He delivered a chilling prophecy: the world would soon spiral into ruin. When Onyomia awoke, her heart raced with dread and purpose. She could not ignore the gravity of what she had been shown. Rejecting Lynç, she vowed to follow Aionexus, dedicating her life to warning others of the coming apocalypse.
Her newfound purpose transformed her into a charismatic and enigmatic figure. As she shared her prophecies, whispers of her visions spread, and she quickly attracted a following. A new cult devoted to Aionexus began to take shape, with Onyomia at its heart. Her words carried a weight that resonated with many, including her own parents. They were moved by her conviction and reluctantly abandoned Lynç to join her in worshiping Aionexus, though they struggled to fully embrace the fear that underpinned her warnings. For Onyomia, this conversion was both a bittersweet victory and a reminder of the depth of her influence.
However, her rise did not go unnoticed. The saints, guardians of the Starhaven Pantheon, viewed Aionexus and his followers as a dire threat. They sought to silence Onyomia and extinguish the cult before it could spread further. Time and again, Onyomia faced their wrath, enduring relentless attacks from those who deemed her a heretic. Yet, her connection to Aionexus and her sheer determination enabled her to survive. She became a seasoned warrior in her own right, wielding both her prophetic power and her resourcefulness to fend off the saints' purges.
Now, in her twilight years, Onyomia has withdrawn from public life, her once-vibrant sermons relegated to secret gatherings. Her body has grown frail, but her spirit remains unbroken. Though she no longer stands on the battlefield, she continues to share Aionexus's warnings with those willing to listen, her voice steady and resolute. To her followers, she is a living symbol of resistance against the saints and a harbinger of the fate that awaits them all. For Onyomia, her purpose is clear: to prepare the world for the end, no matter the cost.

Education
Onyomia’s education began in her early years when her parents, devoted followers of Lynç, ensured she received rigorous training in elven traditions and magical fundamentals. Recognizing her exceptional intellect and latent magical abilities, her family secured her admission to The Spire of Lyntheris, an elite academy renowned across Aeldrithius for producing the most accomplished mages, scholars, and advisors in the elven world.
At The Spire of Lyntheris, Onyomia immersed herself in the study of arcane arts, with a particular focus on chronomancy, a rare and highly coveted discipline of magic related to time. Her natural affinity for prophecy and temporal manipulation quickly set her apart from her peers. Professors marveled at her ability to comprehend complex magical equations and perform intricate rituals with unparalleled precision.
In addition to her magical studies, Onyomia excelled in philosophy, ethereal linguistics, and historical divination, disciplines that deepened her understanding of the metaphysical and strengthened her prophetic abilities. She graduated at the top of her class with High Honors in Magical Theory and a Mastery in Chronomantic Studies, earning the title of Luminari Scholarch, a distinction reserved for only the most gifted students.
Her time at the academy also exposed her to diverse ideologies, planting the seeds of doubt about her family’s belief in elven supremacy. Though she never voiced these doubts openly at the time, they shaped her worldview and influenced her eventual rejection of Lynç’s teachings.
Employment
- Apprentice Diviner (Early Years): Worked under a local seer in her village, interpreting minor omens and assisting with magical preparations. This role helped her refine her natural gift for prophecy and gain confidence in her abilities.
- Adjunct Professor of Temporal Magic, The Spire of Lyntheris (Age 120–145): Returned to her alma mater to teach introductory courses in chronomancy and advanced prophecy. Onyomia became known for her unorthodox teaching methods, which often involved challenging students to interpret real-world phenomena through the lens of temporal manipulation.
- Resident Oracle, The Spire of Lyntheris (Age 146–178): Promoted to an official position where she provided prophetic counsel to the academy’s administration. Her foresight was instrumental in shaping the curriculum and preparing the school for external threats, including conflicts between rival magical factions.
- Independent Divination Consultant (Age 179–200): Left the Spire to establish her own practice, where she offered guidance to individuals and communities. During this time, she began sharing vague hints of Aionexus’s warnings, though she refrained from outright devotion to him to avoid suspicion.
- Cult Leader and High Oracle of Aionexus (Age 201–Present): Founded a devoted following based on the Elder God of Time’s prophecy of the world’s end. This role involved organizing sermons, guiding her followers, and creating a clandestine network to avoid detection by the saints.
- Guest Lecturer, The Spire of Lyntheris (Various Periods): Even after leaving her formal roles at the academy, she was occasionally invited back as a guest speaker. Her lectures focused on the philosophy of time, prophecy, and the intersection of magic and spirituality. These appearances grew rare after her public alignment with Aionexus.
