“Don’t draw attention to yourself. Don’t set yourself above others. He who makes himself high will be cast low. ”
The five Visions are part of the doctrine of Austrism, a religion primarily practiced in Idris on Nalthis. They are guidelines spoken by the first Returned, Vo, as a message from the god Austre.[2]
Tenets[edit]
The Visions teach the believers of Austre to be patient,[3] humble, sacrificing, selfless,[4] and understanding.[5] Followers should not be ostentatious,[6] haughty,[7] selfish,[8] or place themselves above others.[9]
History[edit]
“I saw men who placed themselves above others, and I saw them cast down. ”
Vo, the first Returned, was born aboard a ship sailing to the coast. He declared the five Visions and died the next week, according to Hoid.[10]
To set an example in following the five Visions, every noble or rich Idrian family was obligated by tradition to provide one person to the monasteries.[8] Vivenna decided to become a monk at a young age, and was able to quote several of the Visions from memory as an adult.[1][9] Conversely, Siri had difficulty even naming all five of the Visions.[11]
Vivenna later realized that many followers of Austrism took the idea of humility from the five Visions too far, causing them to wrongly condemn Awakening.[4][12]
