Common information about Phoenixborn

The Phoenixborn are humans who were given power by the Phoenix to protect humanity from the Chimera[Chimera](https://wiki.ashes.live/books/the-world-of-argaia/page/creatures-of-argaia#Chimera). Many of their magics were previously not thought possible, and it is through this power that they are able to create creatures of their own design, called conjurations.

Most of them chose locations to guard, while others were assigned locations, during the [Great CleansingCleansing](https://wiki.ashes.live/books/the-world-of-argaia/page/miscellaneous#Great-Cleansing). Through their combined efforts, they eradicated the Chimera and ushered humanity into a new golden age.

They consider themselves "Children of the Phoenix[Phoenix](https://wiki.ashes.live/books/the-world-of-argaia/page/creatures-of-argaia#Phoenix)," and refer to each other as siblings. Despite this, their age varies greatly, from the youngest being born a few years after the Great Cleansing to the oldest being around 600 years old and still alive. All Phoenixborn death is due to battle; a version of "a warrior's death" is attributed to them regardless of the actual circumstances of their death. They are unable to procreate.

A prophecy foretold of the conflict of the Phoenixborn, and a collection of ashes, which are the remains of the Phoenixborn who fall in conflict. Through these ashes, the victorious Phoenixborn absorb the power of their fallen foes and the last one will inherit a newborn world.

As time proceeded, the source of these warriors' power desired reunification, leading to a growing desire among the Phoenixborn to slaughter their own kind and absorb the abilities of their incinerated kin.kin, just as the prophecy predicted. This desire has subsided after the new Red Rains and the re-emergence of the Chimera.
