Chapter 1.4

  Even the goddesses cannot force fate—they can only guide it.

  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.

  This may come in the form of a dream, a weapon, a memory, or even a second life...
