== About Forsaken ==
The Forsaken were once Scions. During the Sundering, they chose compassion over obedience, standing against their own people to protect those marked for destruction. For that choice they were branded traitors, cast out from Scion society, and forced to build new lives in the shadows of a world that no longer welcomed them.

Though united by exile, the Forsaken are not defined solely by what they lost. Over generations they forged new traditions, new families, and new ways of understanding their place in the world. Bound together by loyalty, survival, and shared hardship, they value chosen bonds above bloodlines and judge individuals by their actions rather than their heritage. While some dream of reconciliation, others seek justice, and many simply wish to protect their people and preserve what remains of their culture.

== Cultures ==
Though all Forsaken share the legacy of exile, they do not agree on what the future should hold. Over the centuries three major cultures have emerged, each offering a different answer to the question that has haunted their people since the Sundering: what comes next?
