Prophecy of the Ascendant One
Birthed in the light of the heavens, yet cloaked in the shadow of the void.
In hands unseen, they shall bear the relics of forgotten gods.
Three roads unfurl before them, but not all roads lead to salvation.
For where light falters and dark prevails, peace waits quietly.
Power beckons, ruin stalks.
One of three, they shall become.
The world shall bend, and a new age will dawn.
This prophecy, spoken by the enigmatic seer Dangelo in the year 1,245 BCW, foretells the rise of a singular being destined to reshape the balance of Ossin. Known as The Born God, or Cirdor Orina in Sylvan, the subject of this prophecy is described as a hero, villain, or something greater—a force whose decisions will usher in a new age for the world.
After the conclusion of the Cosmic War, scholars across the continents began to study these cryptic words, seeking to unlock the prophecy's deeper meaning. By the sixth century ACW, the leading academic circles reached a consensus on its implications:
The prophecy of the Born God looms over the fate of Ossin, its fulfillment eagerly anticipated by some and feared by others. Whether peace or ruin follows their rise, the arrival of this figure will undoubtedly mark the dawn of a new epoch, forever altering the world's balance.

After the conclusion of the Cosmic War, scholars across the continents began to study these cryptic words, seeking to unlock the prophecy's deeper meaning. By the sixth century ACW, the leading academic circles reached a consensus on its implications:
- A Being of Duality: The individual will be born both Aasimar and Tiefling, embodying the essence of both light and darkness.
- The Elysian Moirel: They will wield the ancient sword and shield known as the Elysian Moirel, artifacts from the age when gods roamed Ossin, believed lost to time.
- The Paths of Fate: Before this being lies three choices: to align with the forces of light, to embrace the powers of darkness, or to carve a new path of true neutrality.
- Neutrality: Should they choose the path of neutrality, they will bring peace between the factions of light and dark, mending the divide that has fractured the world since the Cosmic War.
- Light or Darkness: If they instead follow the call of light or darkness, the power gained will bring ruin, transforming the world in unforeseen and potentially catastrophic ways.
- A New Era: No matter the path chosen, they will ascend to the role of a third Overgod, equal in stature to Rima and Suraf, heralding a new era unlike any in recorded history.
