… Is the Nemesis of the “Cairn” faction. This is my theory. Why is this the case?
-the player character is stronger than almost any other human. It’s clear that the player character is more than just your average joe that survived Aetherial possession
-the player can pray to the various gods of Cairn (devotion shrines) and receive the benefits of any of them.
-when a certain faction threatens Cairn’s survival, the player is sent to hunt them down. Essentially, when certain enemy factions kill humans/destroy Cairn’s environment to a certain degree, that faction reaches Nemesis status with Cairn and the player is sent to destroy them.
-the player character cannot join enemy factions in an attempt to destroy Cairn
