When your ancestors finally worked up the courage to investigate the wreckage, they discovered things that changed the future forever. The hull of their ship was recognizable as metal, so they scavenged it first. With fire and stone, they fashioned impenetrable armor and blades that never dulled. They made war upon each other for centuries until the Progenitor, a mysterious figure with unclear origins, rose above the petty materialism of their mortal ken and dared to enter the craft of the Xenoi – the foreigners.
Within, the Nameless Progenitor was given a divine revelation: they must seize and deliver the gifts of the Xenoi to the world through word, deed, or the sword.
The Progenitor founded a holy city within the crater lake formed by the crash site and named it Phorós. From their island capital, the Progenitor’s generals and diplomats surveyed every corner of the continent. To those they found most worthy, they shared the divine secrets of Xenoi magic. If a supplicant would only swear fealty to the Progenitor, they would be taken into the Hieron, the holiest of shrines.
When the newly-blessed vassals emerged, they found that they possessed extraordinary abilities (all thanks to the grace of the Nameless Progenitor, of course). Eyes that could see for miles, ears capable of hearing the tiniest whisper, legs that allowed one to leap like a rabbit! All of these and more.
…But the most prized was the gift of prophecy.
You play as an oracle, one of the few people able to receive visions of the future while dreaming. Your latest prediction doesn’t go according to plan, however, and you end up venturing beneath the very foundations of the Holy City in order to prevent a catastrophe that will end life as you know it. …Or maybe you will decide that you’ve had enough of being a puppet of the imperial system and would be completely fine with burning everything down around you. The choice is yours!
As The Oracle of Phorós, you can:
- Customize your oracle’s appearance, background, gender, and sexuality.
- Discover secrets of the past…some of which might be better left forgotten.
- Romance your fellow oracle, a stern priest, or a royal of the imperial family.
- Interact with a rich world and cast of dynamic characters as you journey to save your way of life…or destroy it forever!
