The Threat

The Threat was the title of a revelation recorded by the Seers of the Throne one decade after the Fall of Atlantis. At its heart, it entails visions proscribed to the Exarchs that warn Humanity as a whole was, by its very nature, dangerous. The nature of said-danger remains unclear, but included the capacity of some mortals to Awaken, and other darker, more complex reasons that either the Exarchs never passed on to their servents or that no Seer has ever recorded. From this revelation, the Seers of the Throne understood that the Exarchs required them to act as humanity's spiritual jailers.
