Editing Forsaken History (section)

=== The Search for Purpose ===

Once, the Forsaken worshipped as the Scions did. They sang the same hymns, lit the same sacred fires, and walked in reverence of the Forsworn and the gods who shaped the world. But when they were cast out, the temples closed their gates. The gods fell silent. The sacred texts spoke of them only as a warning, never again as kin.

Faith, once a compass, shattered.

In the void that remained, a question began to echo: Why were we spared?

From this, the fragmented faith of the Forsaken took root, not in answers, but in seeking. It is called The Search for Purpose, and it is less a religion than a pilgrimage of the soul. Every Forsaken who dares to believe asks the same thing: If the gods allowed us to live, then for what reason?

This belief is not unified. It splinters and spirals, with countless sects and personal revelations forming an ever-shifting mosaic of interpretations. They do not build temples. They build questions.
