The Mark Of Legacy
Being born with legacy causes the infant to exhibit a “Mark”. A physical representation of the person’s Legacy, each Mark is specific to a single Legacy and can manifest anywhere on the newborn’s body. This mark glows faintly with Legacy power and is difficult to miss.
How a child born with a mark is received can vary greatly. It is common to hear people speak the phrase, “Where they go, Kreesh follow,” which makes clear reference to the fact that legacy bearers inevitably draw attention of kreesh. For new parents, or their communities, this can be a terrifying concept. Especially if they have previously suffered at the hands of the kreesh. In contrast to fear, many regions and cultures celebrate the birth of a marked child, considering such a thing as a heralded affair worthy of cheer. These various receptions lead to significantly different life experiences between Legacy earers. While some enjoy lives of privilege and honor, others are exiled or executed outright for the perceived threat the create. Regardless of the reaction, Legacy unanimously has a strong impact on a young person’s life, right from the moment they draw their first breath.
