A long note, in the very neat print of a professional scribe, is pinned in the dead of night to the Notice board -
Abandoned Acquired of Caido
The Old Gods and Heralds are threatened by you and your potential. It’s why they treat you like shit, why they’ve discarded your original name, Acquired, and said the magical mutation is a terrible, hateful thing. So you won’t seek to follow in the Voice’s footsteps. So you won’t challenge the status quo.
And when you do ask for something? They torture you for it. Make you suffer to prove you’re worthy. They sneer and demand and make sure you feel less than human. Did you know you can’t enter Stormbreak? They’ll kill you - turn you to stone. The Order hates you almost as much as they hate the Ascended.
For what? Just being born.
Tell me, how do you think that mutation came about to begin with? How hypocritical is it to introduce magic and then call it shameful?
You have been viciously, needlessly punished for something far beyond your control. Our people have been manipulated for centuries into thinking you’re an abomination, when really, you have the potential to be the most powerful of us all.
Take a chance on the Voice for your next prayer. You might be pleasantly surprised by her willingness to help you be the best you can be. Take back your power.
