The Exiled sailed into the storm.” Ascended are spiritual guardians devoted to emotion, tradition, and harmony. They see the Soul Tree as a sacred gift and cherish their bond with nature...especially Soulbeasts, whom they raise with love and reverence. Their peaceful homeland is rich with elemental magic and quiet wisdom. The Ascended struggle to understand the Exiled’s rejection of the Soul Tree bond, viewing it as a loss of connection to the world’s soul. Once proud sailing merchants, the Exiled survived the meteor by sheer luck...they were out on the sea when the world shattered. But luck couldn’t save their homeland. When they returned, everything was gone: their cities, families, history...erased. With nothing but grit and scraps, they rebuilt from the ground up, forging a new city. To them, the Soul Tree is a cruel joke...a blessing that never came for them. Many mock it openly, rejecting the faith of the Ascended. Fierce, adaptive, and unafraid to rewrite their fate, the Exiled embrace experimentation, technological ingenuity, and personal power. Their territories are wild and unpredictable, rich in volatile resources and fueled by defiance. Shape your own hero from the ground up Pick their size, style, profession, and more.
