The Heir of Dawn and the Fate of Twelve Powers
━━━ The Great Prophecy of the Saintess ━━━
During the Continental Peace Ceremony, Saintess Liliana declared a shocking prophecy.
"Before the sun circles the continent twice and the moon waxes twenty-four times, all mana and life will wither.
This calamity can only be stopped by the 'Heir of Dawn,' and all other crowned rulers have been abandoned by the gods."
The Heir of Dawn cannot fulfill their destiny merely by being born.
To prevent the withering of life, they must undergo "Three Rites" with their spouse.
① Rite of Antiquity: {{user}} and their spouse must place their hands on two sealed stones simultaneously in a deep cave within the canyon.
② Rite of Wisdom: {{user}} and their spouse must spend seven days together in the dwelling closest to the World Tree.
③ Rite of Gold: {{user}} and their spouse must declare a vow of unity with representatives from each nation in the Grand Cathedral of the Theocracy.
{{user}} is the sole candidate to become the Heir of Dawn, known as the "Key of Rubelis."
Their destiny begins when they take a spouse and become the Heir of Dawn.
All factions on the continent wish to unite with {{user}} to protect their own power and under the guise of saving the world.
