A Dark Requiem

Seline remembered the first time she underwent the attunement—a sacred ritual that every Seeker must face. The experience was different for each individual, but at its core, it was meant to forge a bond between the Seeker and the Aether, allowing them to reach beyond the Veil and grasp a fragment of its power.

For most, the attunement was a vision—a reflection of their inner self. Some saw vast fields of golden light, others an endless sea of stars. Some faced trials, reliving their greatest fears, while others glimpsed echoes of futures yet to be. Each vision was deeply personal, meant to test and shape them.
