Hierophant

The prophesied hour is drawing near.

The Six have waited for this moment—for the Accursed to spread darkness, and for the Chosen to be born. For the revelation of Bahamut, its seed planted millennia in the past, to finally be fulfilled.

The Accursed had struggled against the weight of his purpose—as was to be expected. In the end, after hearing Bahamut, he had understood. Not even the Accursed could have argued with fate so long in the making, as painful and unjust as it had seemed to him. The compensation it will grant him once fulfilled could not be disputed.

The Chosen, when his time comes, will understand as well.

They may not like their destiny, but it matters not—no mortal, king or peasant, has the ability or the right to question fate. It is the Astrals' duty to ensure its arrival, and they shall.

The Astrals have watched over humanity's path since its beginnings, long before the coronations of Kings and ascensions of Oracles. It has been Bahamut himself who gifted both the Trident, a symbol of communion with gods, and the Crystal, a vessel of the star's Light itself, to the first Oracle and King.

It had been a promise then, of things to come. By accepting their heirlooms, humanity had accepted their burdens as well, and it now falls to the descendants of the founder King and Oracle to carry out their legacy. Only then shall the Scourge be banished and order be restored to Eos.

That is the purpose of the immortal Accursed, the Chosen King, and the last Oracle—their ultimate responsibility.

The Astral' responsibility is to see that it is so. Bahamut will not allow for anything to stall the revelation any longer, not even the Accursed or the Chosen themselves. He will wait for the True King's arrival and for his Providence. He will watch over his consecration in the divine light. If the True King struggles against it, much like the Accursed had, he shall be reminded of the responsibility to Eos' star that he carries. For order cannot be disputed, and one man's life is not above preserving the Light.

The fulfillment of the Prophecy is drawing near. The True King shall come to the heart of the Crystal, guided by the Gods and the Kings past, and bring deliverance unto the world.

So it is ordained.
