Rezenna

The Gith
The Gith are from the Astral Realm, and have a portal to this realm on Gith Island. In the Astral Realm, they do not age, so they visit the material realm to raise their children to adulthood, before returning to the Astral Realm. Rezenna has frequently visited the material realm over the last million or so years, only staying for brief periods to observe, prophesise, and leave.

Tal En'Tankela
Rezenna prophesied that the end of year 3,999 would lead to a new era - the age of revolution. An age where everything they know and are familiar with would die, to give birth to something utterly new.

Yama Kijo only cursed them for 4,000 years, so Rezenna foresaw the end of the curse & magic reversal. Men will have the magic again. She also knew that Tel’Lota would erupt, or be destroyed, leading to an entirely new world.

Koddra convinced Yama Kijo ~2700 years ago that Rezenna was also a witch, since she was spewing prophecies. In an attempt to maintain dominance and control Yama Kijo burned everything she could find written by Rezenna, throughout the Magic Forest. When Yama Kijo destroyed all the Rezenna stuff, she tried to murder Rezenna too.

The prophecy was lost, but by word of mouth, they passed down the lore of the age of revolution.

A scholar woman sacrificed her life to protect some of Rezenna’s works. She hid them in a magic dungeony vault place. This is now guarded by her descendents, Lore Protectors. They try to have the ultimate collection of their people’s history. They claim to have all the unedited facts about history. (Yama Kijo wasn’t the first/last to try to erase history).

There’s a radical group of matriarchial witches who believe that the Pilgrim’s choice has more to do with their age of revolution - they think the Pilgrim can end the curse that switched magic to women, and they don’t want them to. They want women to remain the stronger sex. They’re trying to find any info about the prophecy to make sure its 100% destroyed.

Of course that means there’s men trying to find the prophecy ASAP to get power back.

Roja, being immortal, saw the genders swap magic, and thinks their behavior is basically the same as it was before. She feels that them swapping back will just repeat teh cycle. She don’t care, just wants money and snacks.
