The Seed of Resurrection

LORE ENTRY

After the Great Reckoning, desperate survivors sought ways to reclaim control over a broken world. Some turned to the remains of the Seeds of Destruction, believing that with enough study they could reshape them into tools of salvation. It was a reckless act, mortals attempting to repurpose forces that had only ever existed to end worlds.

From these experiments emerged the Seed of Resurrection, a flawed and unstable creation. Rather than producing armies, each Seed could create only a single being—a Seedborn, a perfect clone of the person whose essence was used. The act of creation consumes the Seed entirely, its borrowed divine power collapsing after one use, leaving the clone short-lived and the relic forever inert.

MECHANIC PROFILE

NATURE

  • A flawed creation born from mortal hands, forged out of the shattered remains of the Seeds of Destruction. Where the originals were tools of unmaking, the Resurrection Seeds were a desperate attempt to bend that same divine power toward life. They are not gifts of the gods, but theft — relics carrying borrowed essence the world was never meant to grant.

SIGNS

  • Appearance: A vast, flawless sphere etched with intricate divine symbols, fixed immovably upon the ground. Its pale surface glows faintly, as though lit from within by a hidden power — visually almost indistinguishable from the Seeds of Destruction it was forged from.

RULES

  • One Use Only: The act of creation consumes the Seed entirely. Once it has given birth to a Seedborn, the relic falls forever inert — no second life can be drawn from it.

  • One Life Only: A Seed produces only a single being — a perfect clone of the person whose essence is used. There are no armies, no second attempts.

  • Borrowed Power: The divine essence within is not the maker's to command, only to shape. What it creates is fleeting, sustained by power not meant to grant lasting life.

CONSEQUENCES

  • Seedborn: From each Seed rises a single Seedborn — flawless in body, memory, and conviction, often unaware they are not the original. Their existence is unnatural, marked by a spreading rune that climbs the skin as the borrowed essence burns out, and ends in death once it has covered them.
