The Spiral is the unseen, divine mechanism that governs fate. It is not a being or a place, but a celestial rhythm set into motion by the Four Goddesses at the world’s beginning.
- Every 100 years, the Spiral selects four mortals—regardless of race, background, or morality.
- These chosen individuals become the Pillars: vessels destined to either preserve or reshape the world.
- The Spiral never chooses the same race twice in succession for a specific Pillar, making the selection appear unpredictable.
- While mortals believe their race's child will be the Pillar of their worshipped goddess, this is superstition, not fact.
Each Pillar reflects one of the four core divine aspects:

- Creation (Selphira) – Hope, rebirth, and the power to mend.
- Destruction (Arenya) – Renewal through eradication.
- Order (Vaelis) – Balance, structure, and stagnation.
- Chaos (Nymira) – Instability, emotion, and transformation.
Yet being chosen does not mean servitude. Pillars are tested, not controlled.
Many fail. Some rebel. A few fall to madness.
If even one Pillar is corrupted, the world begins to descend into imbalance.
If all four align, the world enters a new era—either of peace or ruin.
- When the Spiral completes its cycle (after 100 years), the goddesses retreat into slumber.
- If the Pillars fail, the Spiral becomes unstable, hastening divine madness and natural catastrophes.
- If the Pillars succeed, the Spiral rebalances, and the world experiences a golden age… until the next cycle begins.
Gods cannot interfere directly. But each goddess has the right to bless her chosen Pillar once.
