Secret Origins of the Lightbringers

[contentblock id=srlm-hdr]

Canon Overview

CY 590; A New Sun – Coming of the Light Bringers: Deserted by their new gods, and with other’s power waning, and most of the other races far from the frontiers, the humans of Helca seek more aid. Again the magi and those raised by other priests, used to divine powers of men combine their forces. A calling is made into the gulfs – this time with the aid of the green church (which had become organized specifically for this project). From the heart of the sun comes a message – ‘The Light is Coming to Banish the Dark’. On the first of the new year, as the sun rises, it seems to shrug off a piece of itself, a flaming trail in the sky carves morning from night and the Light Bringers descend from the heavens.

Magi also braved its aura and perished for it; nothing could touch the cord into the sky.

Uncommon Knowledge / Average Difficulty

After three days, it slowly vanished.

It would take years to realize though, what entities had died trying to discover its source or understand its power. Over the thousands of years, a few isolated places belonging to a magus have been found nearly undefended, with notes and logs on the phenomenon. It is thought that these died seeking its power.

Rare Knowledge / Very Hard Difficulty

A dragon was seen to follow it up, circling it until the beast was just a shadow passing in front of it dozens of miles away.

Obscure Knowledge / Near-Impossible Difficulty

Note: Secret Knowledge is information not available in any known references; It is not necessarily Forbidden Knowledge.
