About Scions
[edit]The Scions are a people born from divine design, created by the Forsworn to one day inherit their creators' mantle. Blessed with natural talent for magic, long lives, and brilliant minds, they have spent countless generations shaping the kingdoms, knowledge, and history of the world. To many, they are admired as visionaries, scholars, heroes, and leaders. To others, they are proud idealists burdened by their own expectations.
Every Scion grows up knowing they were created for a greater purpose. Some dedicate themselves to that calling with unwavering devotion, while others question what it truly means to inherit the legacy of absent gods. Though united by their origins, Scions follow many different paths through life. Their Orders shape how they view duty, destiny, and their place in the world, producing everything from wandering explorers and secretive guardians to statesmen, scholars, and warriors.
