The Path of Memory is one of the two great Awakened ascension paths. It consists of accumulating, integrating, and weaving Memories to reinforce the Soul Core and progress through ranks.
Mechanics
- The Awakened collects ever more powerful Memories
- Integrates them through weaving or prolonged use
- The Soul Core strengthens at every successful integration
Practitioners
Mongrel/Sunny epitomizes the Path of Memory in Vol 3: he builds his trade and power by systematic accumulation. Saint Tyris, the Song Clan, and many wealthy Awakened favor this path.
Path of Glory (alternative)
The alternative is the Path of Glory — defeating ever more powerful creatures to gain Echoes and raw essence. More dangerous but faster. Nephis, Jet, and most martial fighters follow this path.
Synthesis
The most accomplished Awakened combine both. Sunny, through his Divine Aspect, can transform Echoes into Shadows — a hybrid third path.
