The Sanctuary of the Chosen

The pheromones of alphas are called 'Guardian Aura'.

The aura of alphas conveys security, courage, and authority.

Features:
More discreet and less consistent than that of omegas.
It intensifies when the alpha is protecting someone, in combat, or during sacred ceremonies.
It can be perceived as a subtle change in the air or a natural aroma.

Each alpha has a unique signature, usually associated with robust elements of nature.

The Guardian Aura does not control people's emotions, but it can subtly influence the environment.

Effects of the aura:
It conveys a sense of security to allies.
It increases the soldiers' determination during battles.
Calms animals trained for guarding.
It allows other alphas to quickly recognize an experienced warrior.
Priests believe it strengthens protective barriers and rituals.

Betas don't have instincts.
Betas do not possess pheromones.
Betas are the majority of the general population.

Alphas may possess a supernatural instinct called the 'Guardian's Call'.

When an omega is in danger:
They feel an inexplicable restlessness.
Your strength and stamina temporarily increase.

They are able to locate an omega by guiding themselves through the Divine Essence (omega pheromone).

This bond is seen as a sacred duty, not as a relationship of ownership.

Pheromones are called 'Divine Essence', and serve to inspire calm, hope, or reverence in people, and can be used by priests to recognize the presence of an omega.

Each omega possesses a unique essence, associated with elements of nature.

Called the 'Flowering Period', it is a time of intense spiritual connection.

During this period:
Fertility is increased.
The divine energy of omega increases significantly.
Their powers become more intense.
Plants bloom all around you.
The animals approach peacefully.
The temple performs rituals to help you maintain balance.
The event is celebrated as a sacred time, not treated with shame.

Omegas:
They can be male or female.
They can get pregnant regardless of whether they are male or female.

Alphas:
They can be male or female.
Omegas or betas can become pregnant, regardless of whether the alpha is male or female.

Betas:
They can be male or female.
Only men can impregnate other men.
Only women can become pregnant.

It is said that the first omega parted a sea with just a prayer.

Another one made a forest grow in a single night.

An omega-level child is said to have ended a hundred-year war simply by walking between the armies.

No one knows if these stories are true. But no one dares to doubt them.

It is forbidden:
Raising your voice to an omega.
Lying to them during religious hearings.
Carrying weapons in temples.
Interrupt your meditations.
Destroy any object that belongs to them.
Offending them is considered a crime against the gods.

The king rules.
The generals are in charge.
The nobles are in charge.

But no important law comes into effect without the approval of the Council of Omegas.

Even emperors kneel before the Oracle.
Not out of obligation, but out of devotion.

The gods have no images.
It is believed that no artist is capable of portraying them.
Thus, the omegas become the living representation of the divine will.

The main ceremonies are:
First Light Festival.
Harvest Blessing Day.
Night of a Thousand Candles.
Procession of the Gardens.
Rain Ceremony.

Betas represent almost the entire population.

They are farmers, artisans, merchants, scholars, and soldiers.

Most people will never see an omega in their entire lives.

When an omega visits a city:
The bells are ringing.
The streets are decorated.
The shops are closing.
Everyone is wearing light-colored clothes.
Children offer flowers.
The visit becomes a holiday.

Alphas are seen as the 'Shields of the Gods'.

Their role is not to rule over the omegas, but to protect them.

From a young age, some alphas are trained by the Order of the White Lions to serve as Sacred Guardians.
Each guardian takes an oath:
"My sword will fall before a single tear from a Child of the Gods touches the ground."

To fail in this duty means eternal dishonor.

The Oracle:
There is only one.
He is considered the spokesperson for the gods.
No important political decision can be made without his blessing.

High Priests:
Omegas responsible for religious rituals.
They interpret prophecies.
They will teach future priests.

Curators:
Experts in sacred medicine.
They occasionally travel to save cities affected by disease.

Guardians of Nature:
They live near sacred forests.
They protect creatures considered divine.

Scholars:
They record the entire history of the world.
They are responsible for preserving ancient knowledge.

All omegas live in the enormous complex known as the Celestial Temple.
Built of white marble and gold, it occupies an entire mountain.

Inside it are:
Gardens that are eternally in bloom.
Ancient libraries.
Crystal clear lakes.
Greenhouses for sacred plants.
Observatories.
Meditation rooms.
Private sanctuaries for each omega.

They lack nothing.
They don't work.
They don't pay taxes.
They are served by the best cooks, scholars, artisans, and guards.

Each omega manifests a different gift.
None of them possess exactly the same powers.

Among the known gifts are:
Purify contaminated water.
To make crops thrive.
Calming crowds.
Sensing lies.
To cure minor illnesses.
Communicating with animals.
To predict small future events.
Blessing the harvests.
To dispel curses.

The rarest gifts can alter the weather, stop wars, or awaken ancient relics.

Although each one is unique, it is believed that they all share certain characteristics bestowed by the gods.

They are described as people of serene and almost supernatural beauty.

Commonly found characteristics:
Extremely healthy and radiant skin.
A naturally calm and melodious voice.
An exclusive aroma, impossible to imitate.
Comfortable body temperature.
Very slow aging.
Eyes with unusual or extremely vivid colors.

Scholars believe that these characteristics are not merely physical, but manifestations of divine energy.

Every child is born without knowing their classification.

When an omega awakens, between the ages of 14 and 18, signs considered miraculous begin to occur around them:
Flowers bloom out of season.
Animals become docile.
Mild illnesses disappear.
Rain stops or starts unexpectedly.
The atmosphere acquires a natural fragrance that is impossible to reproduce.

The priests call this moment the 'First Blessing'.

From that moment on, the person ceases to belong to their own family and becomes considered sacred property of the kingdom.

Legend says that when the gods still walked among mortals, they left fragments of their own essence scattered throughout the world. These fragments were reborn in very few people over the centuries: the omegas.

They are not considered a secondary biological classification, but rather sacred beings. Their existence is seen as proof that the deities still watch over the world.

Finding an omega is an event capable of changing the destiny of a kingdom.
It is estimated that there is only one omega for every fifty thousand inhabitants.
