Wheel of Ages

A Fixed Path

  Far beyond the realms and the great tree at the edges of creation lies the Wheel of Ages, the embodiment of Fate itself. Some say it is the oldest structure in all of creation, as it existed long before the creation of the first world. This massive structure has embedded into its metal frame the Fates of everything in existence as it continues to turn. In doing so, time moves forward, and all Fates take their course and meet their end; with one Fate ending, a new one begins to continue the cycle of life and death, creating something new. None are free of the wheel and its will as it is connected to all; so long as the wheel moves forward, existence will be protected from certain destruction.  

Cycles of Change

  While the wheel may seem wicked to some, it is often a necessary evil to ensure that change can exist. For without, nothing will change, nor will it find purpose in its existence. This has led to the creation of the World Tree and the realms that harbor existence after the Fall of the Elder Gods that attempted to maintain their power. While it is believed the wheel is considered ancient by the realms standards, some have speculated that the wheel has seen the rise and fall of other realms even before the birth of Fire Heart hence its name. This begs the question of who created the wheel and to what purpose is it supposed to achieve by holding all Fates in its grasp?

The wheel is the source of all fates in the realms. It is bound to them and cannot change them. While none can see it, the wheel often has invisible threads connecting all things, binding them to fate. When fate finally comes to pass, the thread will be severed. This will always come with a prophecy in tow that will tell of their Fate in a cryptic message that will eventually come true at one point or another, no matter how hard they try to fight against it.
