Azem’s Crystal

In the age of the ancients, when the Convocation made the decision to summon Zodiark, the Fourteenth seat on the council — the seat of Azem — lay empty, for the holder had relinquished [his/her] office. When [his/her] dear friend and former Azem, Venat, labored to summon Hydaelyn, [he/she] did not take part in her plan. Though the circumstances and [his/her] reasons were unclear, to the end, Azem walked a path all [his/her] own.

After the world was divided into ten and three, the unsundered Ascians sought to reconvene their council to facilitate the rejoining of reflections. Yet while they succeeded in locating the fragmented souls of their erstwhile colleagues, these reincarnations had no recollection of their ancient lives. Thus did the unsundered find it necessary to prepare crystals replete with the knowledge and memories tied to each office.

As a defector, Azem and [his/her] legacy were deemed unworthy of preservation. Moved perhaps by lingering affection, however, Emet-Selch crafted a crystal in secret which contained his dear friend’s signature incantation: a magick with which [he/she] summoned allies to [his/her] side in times of great need.

That selfsame crystal was inherited by the Warrior of Light, whose path has ever been paved with trial and tribulation. Whenever [he/she] is required to call upon the depths of [his/her] conviction, Azem’s crystal is sure to answer.
