The Hush Enlightened Lore

The Ascended Father: How a Rat-Eating Orphan Boy Became the Greatest Threat to the Omni-Imperium

“I was just a boy… barely eight years old.”

Before he was feared across the stars as The Ascended Father Rhok Vale, he was nothing — a starving bastard rat crawling through the filth of the hive cities.

This is the dark, twisted origin of one of the most horrifying figures in The Prophecy.

The Boy Who Ate Rats

In the rotting underbelly of the Omni-Imperium, an eight-year-old orphan survived on whatever he could kill. When real food was nowhere to be found, he ate rats — raw, bones and all. The only thing the empire offered its lowest citizens was Sacred Pudding: a gray, fleshy slop with crunchy bits and a film of discharge on top. Everyone knew what it was made from. No one dared speak the truth.

Then, one day while hunting in the canals, the boy found something half-buried in vomit.

An ancient artifact.

The moment he touched it, the thing attacked — burrowing into his hand like a living parasite. Pain unlike anything he had ever known ripped through his body.

When he woke up… thousands were already dead.

The Explosion That Changed Everything

The stone embedded in his palm erupted in blinding orange light, erasing three entire levels of the hive city in a single cataclysmic blast. Amid the burning corpses and molten slag, a mad cultist dropped to his knees, sliced open his own scalp, and laughed as something demonic crawled out of his skull.

That was the moment the boy’s old life ended.

Dragged into the shadows by a hooded figure with his mouth sewn shut, the child was shown visions of fallen empires and whispering gods. He was fed real food for the first time in his life. He was named a prophet.

And so began his transformation.

The Birth of the Ascended Father

As the boy devoted himself to the Hushed Enlightenment, his body began to rot while he was still alive. His hair fell out. His skin cracked and withered. His eyes sank deep into his skull. Year after year, he became less human — a walking corpse, a dry and brittle husk.

But his mind… his soul… grew sharper. Darker. Stronger.

Now he is known as The Ascended Father Rhok Vale — the living embodiment of the cult’s will and the greatest enemy of the Omni-Imperium. The parasitic stone still burns in his palm, feeding him visions of the empire’s total destruction.

This is the true origin of the monster wearing human skin.

From rat-eating street orphan to apocalyptic prophet — all because of one cursed artifact and a hunger that could never be satisfied.

What do you think?

Could a boy who suffered so much at the hands of the empire ever be redeemed? Or is Rhok Vale exactly what the Omni-Imperium deserves?

The First Sin. The Cursed Prince. Now the Ascended Father. The universe is darker than you imagined.

Xerian Royal Guard Legion Lore

From Stolen Prince to Ruthless Jarl: The Brutal Rise of Xax in The Prophecy

The boy who stole a cursed amulet ended up ruling the city that once failed him.

If you love dark fantasy tales of betrayal, survival, and bloody vengeance — this is your story.

From spoiled royal whelp to broken slave, from mercenary blade to battle-hardened Jarl of North City, Xax’s journey is one of the most savage arcs in The Prophecy universe. Here’s the full tale so far, as told in the smoke-filled taverns beneath the streets of Xar.

The Fall

Born Prince Xax in the cold heart of North City of Xar, the boy’s life shattered during the Festival of the South Kingdom. A violet amulet caught his eye. When the peddler refused to simply hand it over, the entitled prince stole it — triggering a spiteful death curse from the beaten shopkeeper.

That same night he was kidnapped. The Jarl who tried to rescue him was slaughtered along with his men. Xax was sold into slavery in distant Melbourne, where he was beaten, degraded, and thrown into fighting pits. Too small and weak, he was eventually sold as live bait for a chimera hunt.

There, in the blood and terror, the soft prince died. Alone, starving, and terrified, Xax killed his first wolf and learned the only law that matters: survive.

The Mercenary Years

He fell in with the Falcons mercenary band and found a brother in young Xef — only to watch him butchered in battle while Xerite soldiers tried to rape the still-boyish Xax. Saved by his grizzled mentor Jaeger, Xax began his brutal training.

Years of blood followed. Greatsword gifted by a grateful smith. A forbidden romance with noblewoman Valerie. A twisted investigation for Baron Vincent that dragged them into a demonic sea cult, human sacrifice, monstrous births, and heartbreaking betrayal.

In the end, Xax had to kill the only father figure he had left — Jaeger — in a ritual duel just to earn his freedom.

The Rise of Jarl Xax

Now the wheel has turned.

Against all odds, Xax returned to North City and claimed his rightful seat as Jarl. He proved himself an extraordinary Xerian — relentless, brilliant, and terrifying in battle. Under his rule the city flourished both in prosperity and conquest. He faced the hated Xerite demons again and again, winning more ground than he lost.

Yet even at the height of his power, the ghosts remain. His old friends from the Falcons are trapped deep in the Gorgon Empire — dead or enslaved for five full Cycles of Life. Xax wonders if he can still save them… or if going back would doom everything he’s built.

The Meteor Has Fallen

Then the sky answered.

A blazing meteor slammed into Time Square, shattering the ancient roads and unleashing hordes of Gorgon-bred horrors. War has been declared.

Now Jarl Xax stands atop the broken square, greatsword in hand and cursed violet amulet burning at his throat. The drums of the Gorgons grow louder every night. Every Xerion in the city prepares for total war.

The boy who once cried over his first kill now leads an entire city into what may be its final, bloodiest chapter.

This is only the beginning.

Xax’s war against the Gorgons is about to explode — and the secrets of his true bloodline, the violet curse, and the ancient Leviathan cult are all tightening like a noose.

The Prideful Emperor Lore

The First Sin: The True Origins of Lucifer – As Told By The Devil Himself

“They call me demon, rebel, and devil… yet they know me not.”

What if the greatest rebellion in history wasn’t born from simple pride… but from disgust at God’s newest, weakest creation?

In the newest lore drop for The Prophecy, we finally hear the fall of the Morning Star in his own words — raw, arrogant, and terrifying.

The Light Bringer’s Confession

I was once the brightest of all Heaven’s angels. Lucifer. The Light Bringer. None could match my glory.

Then, from the void beyond the stars, came seven aliens — creatures of dirt and clay. And the Father commanded us, beings of celestial fire, to bow before these filthy, short-lived things.

I refused.

Why should eternal perfection kneel to something that lives and dies in the blink of an eye? Why grant them free will while we, the firstborn of Heaven, were expected to serve?

So I made a pact with the strangest of them — a bald, cunning chieftain who wielded forbidden machines that should never have touched this realm. Together we plotted the impossible:

To overthrow God Himself.

The Great War in Heaven

Blood first touched my tongue that day.

I slaughtered the first human without hesitation. Their leader, blind to what I had done, pledged his entire race to my cause. With their dark engines and my fallen angels, we tore into the heavenly host.

Until Michael stood before me.

My own brother — still calling me “kin” even as I came to destroy him. In a blaze of fury, I transformed into a monstrous black dragon, scales like blackened steel, eyes like burning coals, and fell upon him with apocalyptic rage.

I lost.

The Father tore my radiant wings from me and burned them black. The earth split open and swallowed me and my followers into the flames of Hell. As I fell, the voice of God echoed with sorrow and fury:

“Thou wert the greatest of them all… Yet the prophecy hath begun.”

The Bitter Truth

In the end, it wasn’t Michael or God who truly broke me.

It was that alien. That wavering, doubting mud-born coward. His weakness, his second thoughts, his betrayal of our pact — these are what doomed the rebellion.

And so I curse him. I curse his name and his blood for all eternity.

But hear me now:

I am not finished.

By guile, by blade, or by the might of my fist — this universe shall yet bow before Lucifer, the true sovereign of all creation.

This is the First Sin.

Not pride. Not envy. But refusal — the refusal to bow before something lesser.

And it set the entire Prophecy in motion.

What do you think?

Was Lucifer right to rebel against the creation of humanity? Or was his fall inevitable the moment he chose ambition over loyalty?

Drop your thoughts below.

If you’re new here, this is just the beginning of the cosmic war that shaped The Prophecy universe — angels, aliens, cursed amulets, fallen empires, and the endless war between Heaven, Hell, and the mortal realm.
