You speak Common, and Rünäklën, the Scripted Tongue of Echoes, a forgotten dialect of ancient Airësic used in lost rites. You may understand, but not speak, sacred fragments of First Script left by the Pillars.

Your spirit is not whole — it is burned with ancient truth.
You gain +2 Wisdom and +1 Charisma.

These reflect your role as a vessel of perception, memory, and divine presence. You are not only seen, you are felt.

Your presence unravels in the memory of the world.

• Creatures who have not willingly shared an emotional moment with you (combat, storytelling, touch, or ritual) forget you 1 hour after parting, unless they succeed a DC 13 Wisdom save.
• You may suppress this effect with concentration.

You can sense when reality is frayed.

• You can cast detect evil and good once per long rest without using a spell slot.
• You also always know if you're within 300 feet of an aberration, undead, or a place affected by divine corruption or sanctification (like hallow, unhallow, or Watcher influence), though you don't know the exact location.

“To speak a name swallowed by silence is to wound the wound.”

Once per long rest, you may attempt a Name-Restoration, an act of divine remembrance that forces reality to acknowledge what has been erased.

• As an action, speak aloud the true name of a creature, place, or object whose existence has been magically, spiritually, or historically forgotten (such as by modify memory, greater restoration, Watcher corruption, or divine erasure).
• All creatures within 30 ft who were previously connected to the target must make a Charisma saving throw (DC = 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a success, they recover the memory fully and instantly.
• Even if no one remembers it, for 1 minute, all creatures in the radius have advantage on Insight and History checks related to the restored entity. During this time, the name physically echoes across nearby surfaces, whispered in wind, flickering in light, or forming in dew.

If the name was deeply erased or sealed by divine force (e.g., Watcher effect, Tszo’hwësz curse), the DM may impose disadvantage on the save, or require an additional offering: a blood sacrifice, a true memory from the Pillar-Touched, or a night spent in a dream-ritual.

“No god can mend the Pillar. But we may still bleed from its edge.”

Choose one Fragment. This choice reflects the divine wound within you. It grants you one passive or activatable ability.

• Lëvåh – The First Spark: Radiant Reversal: When reduced to 0 HP, erupt in light and blind nearby foes.
• Zérrëkh – The Burned Path: Ashen Phase: Become briefly incorporeal to avoid damage and pass through objects.
• Tszo’hwësz – The Night Wound: Hollow Voice: Frighten and silence a creature with a word of divine dread.
• Rësoppäkhrës – The Soulbound Flame: Breath Reversal: Revive a creature who died within the last minute at 1 HP.
• Änthalor – The Unending Circle: Return to Verse: Reroll a failed save, missed attack, or initiative roll once per day.
• Müllënar – The Bleeding Mirror: Echo Twin: Summon a mirror image that imposes disadvantage on incoming attacks.
• Näm – The Wound Eternal: Last Light: When dropped to 0 HP, remain standing for one final turn at 1 HP.

These are not scaled or upgraded. They are narrative forces bound in stillness, remnants of a truth that cannot grow, only burn.

Fragment Price - Wound of the Divine Echo

Whenever you use your Fragment ability, you immediately suffer the following:

• You take 1d4 psychic damage (ignores resistance).
• You cannot be healed by any means until you finish a short rest.
• When you call upon the Fragment, silver tears spill from your eyes, and hairline cracks shimmer across your skin like starlight splintering glass.
