Kael faced a choice the gods never had.
If he intervened too much, he would become a god in truth authority shaping destiny.If he withdrew completely, humanity might tear the seal apart out of ignorance.
Balance demanded restraint.
He chose guidance without dominance.
Kael began appearing rarely only at moments of catastrophic imbalance. Not as ruler. Not as savior. As a reminder.
That choice cost him clarity. Every manifestation pulled him closer to the world, and farther from the seal.
Making the strain increased rapidly.
