Acaridian Prophet | Church of the Acarid

LORE & BACKGROUND

The Acaridian Prophet is a rare anomaly among its kind, a creature whose fractured inheritance settled into pattern rather than aimless wandering. Where other Acaridians drift through the deep caverns guided by instinctive ritual, the Prophet pauses to observe, measure, and mark its surroundings.

It maps stone by touch and sound, tracing fault lines and leaving repeating symbols that reappear across distant tunnels. These markings are not commands, yet other Acaridians respond to them instinctively, altering their paths, gathering, or avoiding areas without understanding why.

The Prophet is drawn to places where the underground behaves strangely, where echoes distort or light bends unnaturally. In such chambers it may remain motionless for hours, absorbing the space through slow, repetitive motion. Disturbing it causes agitation in nearby Acaridians who mirror its tension without knowing its source.

It does not lead through authority or force. Its influence emerges from compulsion alone, a need to impose structure on a world inherited through fragments of belief it can never fully understand.
