The end of the world has changed everything. …Well, alright, that part is obvious, but it's not just a matter of the destruction of civilization. In all your studies—the astronomy, the geomancy, the sociology, even—you've been seeing the signs. Could this really be it? The culmination of everything you've studied your entire life?
Trigger:When you've seen two problems resolved successfully (regardless of whose problems they were). ALTERNATIVELY: When someone else reveals something seemingly "impossible" about their identity. Choose whichever happens first, or whichever feels more satisfying.
Have an epiphany. (click for more) This world—even in its apparent death throes—is so much vaster and more incredible than even you had ever realized. Even the things trying so hard to kill you! There's meaning here—a pattern! And the more data you collect, the clearer it's becoming to you.
Now you've got the final piece of the puzzle. Now you find yourself tearing pages from your books and pasting the scraps together; assembling the words that can guide you forward. You've truly found it—the prophecy that underpins all of this, and gives it meaning. With this revelation, you can be certain: there is a higher world, a higher truth, from which all of this emanates. Even if everything around you ends, that ultimate truth will remain in all its ineffable glory. There is no such thing as "all being lost," and there never will be.
There's a kind of mania of hope in you now. Maybe it looks like an unexpected kind of faith; maybe it looks like you stepping forward to lead your companions even if they are on the verge of giving up. Regardless, whatever it takes, you'll carry them into the future with your own hands.
Revelation.
