Cavreign: The Self-Styled Architect of Fate
Perception of Power
Cavreign no longer sees his actions through a moral lens; instead, he views himself as a tool of the universe, a weaver of threads in the grand tapestry of existence. His decisions are not emotional or personal—they are simply necessary.
The constant presence of his magic has shaped this perception. To him, it is alive—a current that he alone can understand and guide. He moves through life like a gardener pruning a tree, cutting away what he deems diseased or disruptive to the natural flow. Each choice he makes, no matter how destructive, is simply another stone placed to redirect the stream toward its destined course.
Personality and Demeanor
Cavreign’s demeanor is calm, almost unnervingly so. He speaks with the confidence of someone who believes themselves to be an extension of the universe’s will. He does not justify or explain his actions; he simply enacts them, assured that they are correct.
While this makes him an unyielding force, it also distances him from those around him. He does not seek companionship, nor does he care for the opinions of others. To Cavreign, their perspectives are limited by mortality, incapable of grasping the scale of his work.
However, his detachment is not cruelty—it is indifference. He does not hate; he does not love. To Cavreign, emotions are ripples on the surface of the stream, fleeting and inconsequential.
Magic and Philosophy
Cavreign’s connection to his magic is symbiotic. It is not just a tool—it is a part of him, a living entity that flows through his every thought and action. He perceives its currents as a constant presence, guiding him as much as he guides it.
This bond reinforces his belief in his role as a cosmic caretaker. He often describes his actions in metaphors tied to water and growth—streams that must be cleared, gardens that must be tended. Even destruction, to Cavreign, is a form of creation, clearing space for something new to flourish.
Legacy and the Artifact
The artifact containing Gale’s soul is a cornerstone of Cavreign’s mythos. He refers to it as "the Vessel of Chaos," a symbol of his supposed triumph over destruction and disorder. The public reveres the artifact, believing it to be a sealed god of ruin.
Cavreign maintains a detached relationship with the artifact, rarely visiting it. To him, it is not a prison for his brother but a necessary correction. Gale’s idealism was a boulder in the stream, and binding him was the only way to restore the flow.
In moments of introspection, Cavreign does not question his choice. If he feels anything, it is frustration that Gale, in his view, could not see the bigger picture.
Relationships
Cavreign’s relationships are transactional, built on utility rather than affection or trust. He surrounds himself with followers who share his vision or serve a purpose in his grand plan. Those who dissent are quietly removed, not out of malice but efficiency.
He is revered as a god-like figure by the masses, though he does not crave worship. To Cavreign, their faith is another current to be guided, another tool in his work.
