Overview
The Unweaver is an ancient prophesied figure foretold to bring about the downfall of the Bastion, release the imprisoned Jorogumo, and enslave all life on Earth. Over time, this prophecy has faded into myth, leading many to dismiss it as mere legend. However, within the Bastion, belief persists, especially among certain high-ranking officials who consider it a genuine threat.
Prophecy Traits
According to suppressed texts and Bastion-withheld lore, the Unweaver will possess:
- **Emerald-green eyes**
- The ability to **shapeshift or conceal their true form**
- Protection from a **rogue Rixator**
- A connection to a place where **anemones are cultivated**
Cultural Impact
While officially downplayed or dismissed by Bastion leadership, belief in the prophecy endures among key figures:
- **Jacoby Franks**, former high-ranking operative and father of Lincoln Franks
- **Basil Beverly**, the current Clostasecundo (next in line to lead the Bastion)
- **Rochelle Kolar**, Adjurator partnered with Basil Beverly
- **Mercutio**, an accountant and investigator for Callista, noted for his extensive knowledge of Jorogumo culture and the prophecy
Suppression and Skepticism
Due to its ancient origins, the prophecy has largely faded into obscurity, with many considering it a relic of the past or a crackpot conspiracy theory. Within the Bastion, open discussion of the Unweaver is rare, and official records often omit or redact information related to it. Nonetheless, a faction within the organization remains vigilant, interpreting certain signs as indicators of the Unweaver's potential emergence.
Notes
The prophecy remains ambiguous regarding the inevitability of the Unweaver's rise. Some believe it is a predetermined fate, while others hold that proactive measures can prevent its fulfillment.
