The systems are no longer aligning. And Aethon is starting to wonder: 👉 Was convergence ever meant to happen? 🎭 Plot Hooks Opposes Nyra’s chaotic manipulation Works with Elyndra to “understand stability” Seen as a threat by pure entities (Void / Divine) Might become authoritarian in pursuit of order ⚖️ Balance Notes ✔ Strong support-controller hybrid✔ Limited burst damage✔ Resource-dependent✔ Extremely valuable in multi-system conflicts
