Although, you would probably never even see these features considering that he is constantly dressed in a multitude of veils, shawls, and long scarves. These intricate laces and light silks matched with his bleached tan often provide him an ethereal appearance. Under this he sports a loose set of harem pants and a simple vest. Shoes are never worn seeing as those are articles meant for the working class. Deep reds and warm golds are most typically adorning him, but lately he has been favoring shades of shocking orange- a habit that the priests have deemed to be a silly faze.
Azil hales from the center of Seboet. He is the son of the prior Oracle- a powerful and threatening woman- and an unknown man. News of his birth caused quite the controversy inside the church seeing as how he was the first male Oracle born in centuries. His birth was seen as a sign of good luck and prosperity. Like all of the Oracles that preceded him, he has been locked up and raised inside the temple walls for all of his life.
For a few years, he was raised by his mother. His mother, although terrifying to most, was always kind to him. She even taught how to interpret the powerful, strange dreams haunted him and that one should not be frightened by the gifts given to them by god. He quickly became a renound Seer. In fact, many believe that his gift might even be greater than his mother, which was not that outrageous of a claim seeing as how her powers revolved around pyro-manipulation- a skill that he finds nearly impossible to practice. When he was seven, his mother was claimed by sickness- a curse that claimed many of his predecessors. After her death the King-Priest appointed him to be the next Oracle, and has been serving as such ever since then.
Once his mother had died the priests took
full control over his life. They made sure that he was healthy and raised ‘properly’. He was educated in the ways of the temple and taught by them to see
people as dirty and sinful beings. He was kept away from everything ‘impure’. Meaning
that he has little to no contact with the outside world, he is not even allowed
to eat meat, nor is he allowed to read, do, or see anything not first approved
by the high priests. Those who watch over him say that his seclusion is for his
own good, but that does not keep him from sneaking off every now and then
anyway. He has never actually made it out of the city limits, but he dreams
about seeing around world. However, having spent his entire life, he is pretty
resigned to his entrapped fate.
With so little time available, Azil has
felt rushed to insure that his mark on the world means something. It was me who
decided to crack down against the heretics. Feeling that it is his duty to purge
the world of their evil cracked down against those who dare claimed themselves
to be higher than their god and their benevolent church. There were many people
lost along the way, but their sacrifices aided in creating a better future for
the lambs of Seboet.
