past;
✎ this section in particular is still a work in progress, and will be updated gradually.an abomination born upon the bloodstained soil of the iron kingdom. while a newborn dominant is often silenced before their first cry, there are few who would challenge the orthodox doctrine and take pity on these cursed children —— and at a risk to her own life, a lone woman blinded by her compassion constructed a small orphanage on one of the islands that gave these forsaken souls home. alas, such a sin could not be kept secret forever.for the crystalline orthodox left behind naught but bodies and ash, the lives of a dozen innocent children and their sole caregiver lost in the course of a day. yet as witness to such tragedy was a new life given form; one of pain, and destruction. one they would come to call Anima.
present;
found by a party of Cursebreakers dispatched to the site of the eikon's summoning in the days following the massacre, a young boy, a bearer by the name of Silas, was found and taken back to the hideaway for safekeeping. though the extent of his eikon's power is unknown, an unmistakable darkness lies at the heart of her dominant, and an almost obsessive desire to be reunited with his Mother.
