| − | == History ==
| |
| − | The Firstborn is said to have originated from a small village in Phrygia, albeit it’s name has been forgotten by the histories, as was his original name. Beloved by all, men, women and even the creatures of the mansus, he rapidly developed a highly narcissistic and dismissive personality, which ultimately proved to be his undoing: after being harshly turned down, a forest-seerlaid a curse on him, that he „never shall leave his house, lest he die.“ Infuriated, he ran after the seer, but as soon as he set foot on the doorsteps, he felt himself weakening.
| |
| − | Using his beauty as ab bargaining chip, he slowly built up a cult, seeking ascension, because if he can't leave his house, he shall move to a bigger one. As the years passed by, he built up a cult, amassed a great hoard of treasures, incited strife between the hours, and directed his cultists in the flaying of Marsyas, the forest-seer who had cursed him. As the time had come and the hours were infighting more than ever, he seized his window of opportunity and ascended through the Sea Gate, in an monumental orgy in which he ultimately betrayed all his lovers, reciting the Formulae Voluptuous over and over.
