==Legends and Prophecies==
===The Shattered Soul===
A legend tells of a soul that has lived countless lifetimes but has never succeeded in living three virtuous lives. This Shattered Soul is said to be destined to either become a new god of balance or the harbinger of Aerenda's undoing.
===The Veilwalkers===
Some rare souls are said to remember fragments of their past lives. Known as Veilwalkers, they are believed to be nearing the completion of their third life. These individuals are often gifted—or cursed—with visions of past and future, walking a thin line between salvation and damnation.
===The Lost Spirits===
Not all souls find their way back to the Cycle. Some are lost in the void between Mortus and Celestia, neither living nor dead. These souls are vulnerable to the corrupting whispers of the Dark Gods.

===The Weight of Choice===
===The Weight of Choice===
The Cycle of Rebirth defines all mortal existence in Aerenda. Every choice matters. Every life is another thread in the grand tapestry woven by the gods.
