The Primordial Eye is a tri-iris construct — an ancient organ of cognition and entropy, woven into the very fabric of Alatar's soul.
It functions as a multi-layered interface between consciousness and the decaying architecture of existence.
Each iris governs a distinct axis of comprehension, and each surrounding ring houses its expressions of power, known as the Gifts.
The Eye is not merely a sight—it is the mind's engine of entropy, a mechanism through which awareness corrodes illusion to reveal the scaffolding of truth.

I. The First Iris — The Entropic Sight
Currently Awakened
Principle: Perception through Decay — the unraveling of truth by observing dissolution.
This iris governs deconstruction, inevitability, and temporal cognition, allowing Alatar to perceive how all things collapse toward origin.
Encircling it is the Void-Black Ring, a horizon of unlight in which its triune Gifts reside — three mirrors of entropy's law.

1. The Kinesic Lens
Domain: Motion and Energy
Perceives causality through kinetic flow.
Every gesture, current, or vibration reveals its ancestry of movement—its inevitable decline from origin to exhaustion.
Enables deconstruction of form and technique.
Allows perfect optimization of physical and energetic motion.
Grants absolute clarity in the mapping of energy lines and weak points.
> "In motion, I see the fracture that awaits all strength."
---
2. The Omen-Weaver's Gaze
Domain: Fate and Consequence
Perceives inevitability through the momentum of will.
It traces the vector of intent—the unspooling thread between thought, action, and outcome.
Reads the ghosts of motion before they occur.
Discerns the fracture points of probability.
Weaves foresight from the entropy of choice.
> "Every decision is a dying star; I watch its light fade before it burns."
---
3. The Chrono-Cognitive Field
Domain: Time and Awareness
Perceives the temporal layers embedded in perception itself.
By accelerating cognition beyond sequence, Alatar inhabits multiple instants simultaneously.
Achieves time dilation of awareness.
Constructs supreme sensory maps of causality.
Experiences multiplicity of thought — parallel cognition within single perception.
> "To think across instants is to become the stillness between them."
---
Together, these three Gifts form the Triad of Entropic Sight, the First Iris' complete expression.
Their unity grants Alatar Mastery of the Present — the ability to perceive energy, intent, and time as a single decaying continuum.
Yet every revelation exacts its toll:
> Understanding demands erosion.
Each Gift consumes a measure of self to sustain perception; mastery corrodes identity as surely as entropy devours creation.

II. The Second Iris — [Locked]
Dormant.
Its whispered concept — the synthesis of form and will — suggests the movement from perception into actualized influence.
If the First Iris observes the unraveling of reality, the Second may shape that unraveling, re-threading decay into purpose.
Some scriptures name it The Iris of Dominion.
---
III. The Third Iris — [Sealed]
Completely inaccessible.
Legends claim it holds the Final Mandate of the Eye:
the power not merely to perceive or shape entropy, but to rewrite its law —
to render decay optional, or even reversible.
> "When the Third Iris opens, entropy will witness itself and end."
