The Seven Who Wait¶

The Seven Who Wait fall into another category of venerated non-divine entities entirely: mortal heroes who achieved such remarkable feats during the cataclysm which fractured Lādīka (the moon of course, not the goddess) that they allegedly transcended normal death.

According to scattered legends, these seven individuals neither ascended to the Celestial Plane nor descended to The Fallen Domain but instead entered a state of suspended animation, awaiting some future crisis that will necessitate their return. Each hero supposedly represents or serves as master of a specific discipline, and rests in a hidden sanctuary corresponding to their domain.

Pilgrims seeking to honor these figures must undertake arduous journeys to these sanctuaries, though the locations themselves remain suspiciously vague in all accounts I’ve studied. The few temples dedicated to their veneration display seven empty thrones arranged in a circle, symbolizing both their absence and potential return.
