The Crimson Mark

The Crimson Mark is in a lot of ways similar to the Sovereign mark, the key difference being placement. On beasts that were said to bare the mark of the sovereign, the mark could be found in an assortment of places leading many to believe without consistency that these were lies; although, every tale available talks of a crimson mark within the palm of these individuals that were able to control beasts. Translations from folklore passed down through the ages talk of the mark allowing individuals to wrestle a beast into submission with the power of the mind. No recorded history has any entries to back this claim though as 48,715, sightings of extraordinarily beasts similar in fashion to what was already known but much larger and extremely aggressive have been reported.

Summary

The Crimson Mark has been stated in writings from as early as 18,322 CY, unfortunately the sack of Paradayo and the retaliatory sack of Blithe left the vast majority of records before this time lost to arrogance. The myth states that beings will come about in a time of need to aid the world in the final battle.

Historical Basis

The Crimson Mark is related loosely to a tale of The Final Battle. Some say that there will come a time when Oroullin will cease to reset the world and we will all be subject to a terror beyond terrors, those born with this mark are one of the many pieces of the puzzle required to win this fight.

Spread

The myth of the Crimson Mark is a story not told by many as the idea of Oroullin being weaker than anything is simple blasphemy.

Variations & Mutation

Beyond 18,322 CY the stories told of those born with the crimson mark started as simple deeds done to help the community.
