They cannot even remember the face but they remember the guidance.
The three divine birds were created with the last breath of The Last of the First Gods. Never to desire power or fame they were created with a single hope of preventing the events that led to their birth.
One was led astray by the lust of pride, and paid the price for it. Now only two remain as guards of the scales that tip the world.

The themes of these is to keep the time spent on drawing them at no more than one evening. While also having something to tie the lore of my au down to.
I- I don’t know what the hell I was on but this fell out of my brain so…
Someone make a scholar oc that would say this or have Shamura do it. It’s too smart for me
What do the crowns really do? They grant the domains and divinity of the bishops and other gods yeah, but do they superimpose the domains we see onto people who have an affinity for those domains or do the people who gain crowns have to be groomed for the role?
If they have domains like Chaos does that imply the existance of another crown that controls Order or is it implying that order is the natural state of the world? Does the crown of War naturally have a connection to Knowledge or was that aspect developed over the years that the purple crown was wielded by Shamura?
If dualities are in fact part of the crowns does that mean that Narinder was as much Life as he was Death? Did he simply never use the domain of Life because being Death was so demanding? Or did the crown simply have the potential to acclimate to the opposing and yet sister domain? If the betrayal had never happened and Narinder allowed to live above the ground would he have one day been the most powerful of the gods as one whose domain encompassed all?
Is that why his siblings feared him?
If that’s not how it works then what about transference of a crown from one bearer to another? We see the lamb become a god by bearing the crown first as a vessel and then as a supplanter, does that imply that had the other bishops been scared enough to give up their godly status and die by their own will would they have been able to pass their crowns on?
Would there be a process through which someone could preserve a crown before its destruction at the hands of dying gods and usurpers? A method that would keep the crown and its divine powers preserved until another could be found for the role of god? Could the Mystic Seller do it? Or is that among the domain of the insane Chemach? Would there be a way to revive a crown? Do the crowns bow to the will of other crowns concerning a domain or do the crowns have their own societal structure?
Could the Red Crown of Death and therefore The Dead refuse another crown its destruction? Could it preserve those crowns in a stasis hovering between the land and the veil so that there may yet be a new Bearer to command the world? Would the Blue Crown of Plague and therefore Medicine be able to heal the madness of its own creator? Does the Purple Crown of War and therefore Peace carry with it through the epitaph of Knowledge what the method for creating crowns was in the first place? Could the Yellow Crown of Famine and therefore Plenty and Harvest preserve such knowledge like the harvest is turned to preserves for the winter?
If so, if these crowns can expand their reaches and control things beyond what most mortals and immortals can imagine then why is it the lamb listens to none of what the Red Crown has to know? We know the Crowns can speak with their Bearers or at the very least can implant ideas into their minds so why not talk with it at length. Why not learn all it can do?
For if these Crowns truly control their domains, embody them so wholly that when they are destroyed those aspects of the world are destroyed as the winter was destroyed in the wake of Yngya’s defeat by the bishops then why not do everything to preserve them?
Why not the Last of the Lambs, Vessel of Death, Bearer of the Red Crown, and New Death earn as well the title of Preserver?
