Origin Backstory

The Phoenix, known as Bennu in ancient Egypt, is a sacred firebird linked to the sun, rebirth, and the flooding of the Nile. It lives for 500 years before building a nest of spices, igniting it, and burning to death—only to be reborn from the ashes, carrying the remains to Heliopolis. In later Arabian and Greco-Roman tales, its tears heal wounds and its song brings joy, symbolizing eternal renewal and the triumph of life over death.
