Another popular belief that saw massive growth in recent times was the idea of a "Chosen One" which was first introduced by Leonardo Marchello. The purpose of the Chosen One was to reunite the region following the collapse of the First Fortunan Empire after the Great Civil War. When the time was right, the Chosen One would be sent by Unus to bring the islands together and believed to be at the level of a lesser deity. This idea of a Chosen One was quickly accepted by some Claritists in the late 1600s, and would continue to grow over the years. At times, certain individuals who attempted to reunite the islands were given this title, but it would not be until the rise of Tristano Lyone in the 1990s that a specific person was accepted by the majority of believers to be the actual Chosen One. When Lyone successfully claimed control of the entire Fortunan Archipelago and formed the Second Fortunan Empire, the belief that he was the Chosen One grew exponentially, and this title was solidified when High Priest Francisco III on August 6, 1999, declared Lyone as such.
 
A large part of Clarityism is environmental protection. Due to their belief that Unus gave their homeland as a gift, it is up to the followers to also play a part in its protection. This plays an important part in how current day Fortuna handles environmental protection such as the protection of native animals, creation of national parks, and a strive towards more renewable energy.
