Ashborn are the newly initiated members of the Ashen—warriors who have endured the sacred rites of symbolic death and emerged reborn, stripped of name, past, and ego. Having completed the Ember Walk, the Ashen Duel, the Pyre Vigil, and the Final Crucible, they now begin their journey within a Pyre under the watchful eyes of Pyre Knights and Ash Wardens.
They are not yet legends, but they burn with potential. Untested in war yet forged by fire, Ashborn live in disciplined silence, absorbing the codes of the Ashen, learning the sacred rhythm of combat, ritual, and restraint. They are vessels waiting to be filled with purpose—fiercely loyal, unwaveringly focused, and marked by ritual scars and charcoal ash. The galaxy sees them as both dangerous and divine—blank slates with fire in their bones.
All
Invited by Warriors: Tribes, clans, or dueling schools may allow you into their training grounds—“to see what the Ashborn are learning.”
Echoes of Combat Verse: You have memorized verses, dueling mantras, and battlefield philosophies that others forgot. Reciting them earns rare moments of peace or shared silence.
No Right to Refuse: Until you gain status, you cannot reject missions, rituals, or orders - even if they conflict with personal belief.
Burning Zealot: Your absolute belief in the Order's teachings may come off as cultic or unnerving, even to allies.
