Its just, this information came out of nowhere. And which seraph should he carry, I didnt meet a fitting one. Why am I searching for a water then, instead of that priest. but she said, they need someone who should carry a seraph and is strong enough, and the land will be protected.

Naturally the person who has the power to create the contract controls who receives that power, it's not something a person with high resonance can force on a Seraphim, they have to be willing.Ī little long winded, but I hope that answered your questions :P Leilah is able to choose who becomes the Shepherd because it is her power that allows the person to fuse with her and create the contract.

Those are also few and far between as most Seraphim are not powerful enough or have knowledge enough to be a Prime Lord. The other part of being the Sheperd is having a Seraphim who is a Prime Lord.

Basically Sorey only has the ability to become the Shepherd because he was raised around Seraphim since he was a baby and has an extremely high resonance with them.Ģ. In the current Era the game takes place in people and Seraphim have drifted further apart, so people with the capacity to become Shepherds are even more rare than they were before. Anyone with a high enough resonance with the Seraphim and knows a Seraphim who is a Prime Lord can become a Shepherd, but the number of people with that high of an ability were rare even before the time of the Calamity. So, basically, the answers to your questions are:ġ. Basically it is the concept that if you know something's true name then you either have complete control over that thing or you can unlock it's hidden potential. The "True Name" concept is pretty wide spread over multiple mythologies, so it's something I have heard before. The Prime Lord can then give that same power to other "Sub Lords" by giving them "True Names". The Prime Lords are very powerful Seraphim who have taken a pact or oath that gives them the special power of purification once they have made a pact or contract with a Shepherd. Other people may have enough resonance to see or hear Seraphim, but not use their powers the way that the Shepherds can.Īlso the only Seraphim that can fuse with the Shepherd are special Seraphim known as Prime Lords. Only people that have a high resonance ability can fuse with the Seraphim the way that the Shepard can and use their powers. Humans who can see and interact with Seraphim have a special "Resonance", which means that they are on the same mental "wavelength" as Seraphim. This allowed the Seraphim to gain greater powers and "bless" the environments the people lived in to make them safe from Malevolence. Way back in the golden days of the land the characters live in both humans and Seraphim lived together in harmony.ĭuring that time the Seraphim were worshipped in the same way that pagans tend to worship their deities, where there are multiple deities and each one serves a different purpose and have elemental powers. So, this is how I have interpreted the story so far.
