Oaths and Prophecies

Oaths and Prophecies are among the deepest lore elements in YiHuan's world. When the first Espers awakened in ancient times, they swore oaths to use their powers for protection rather than destruction. These oaths were recorded in ancient texts called the 'Tomes of Origin,' said to be preserved in a secret location beneath Hethereau.

Accompanying the oaths are a series of prophecies describing potential future events. The most notable is the prophecy of the 'Great Transformation' — when the intensity of anomalies reaches a critical threshold, the world will undergo a fundamental change. The original text of the prophecy is vague and full of metaphor, with different interpretations among different groups. The Circle interprets it as a signal to actively trigger the Great Transformation.

The Appraiser's appraisal ability plays a key role in interpreting the prophecies. By appraising fragments of the Tomes of Origin and relics left by ancient Espers, the Appraiser gradually pieces together the complete meaning of the prophecies. The Silent Garden is believed to have some connection to the ancient oaths, as the anomalous energy there exhibits different characteristics from other places. The ultimate truth of the prophecies remains to be revealed.
