[[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]].
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.{{book ref|wb|2}} Vivenna decided to become a monk at a young age, and was able to quote several of the Visions from memory as an adult.{{book ref|wb|17}}{{book ref|wb|13}} Conversely, [[Siri]] had difficulty even naming all five of the Visions.{{book ref|wb|4}}
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]].{{book ref|wb|46}}{{wob ref|6951}}
