[Other OPEN] The Chronicles of the Hiloblisth [T/OOC]

Over the course of history, there has been a constant battle between good and evil. Not just with mortals against themselves, but also creature against creature, and sometimes even creature against mortal.

'What are these creatures, and why hasn't anyone noticed them before?' you might ask? Well, it's quite simple really. You know all of those creatures that you've heard of from fairy tales and mythology? They're all real, and their masters are rising again. 'Who are these masters?' you ask? You ask a lot questions I'll tell you, but first, you're going to need a little bit of backstory...

Long ago, the Straliné came into power, enslaving and killing many humans. Something had to be done, for the human race's population was quickly dwindling. So the remaining free humans, the Resisitance, formulated a plan. They were to send a small group to sneak into the domain of the Straliné and steal their greatest weapon; sorcerey. With this, they could combat these evil forces and emerge victorious.

The mission was succesful, but with only four survivors out of the twelve people sent on the mission. They obtained a large amount of magical tomes and artifacts from the Straliné's private stores. They used these to train themselves in the ways of magic, harnessing the four elements; air, earth, fire, and water.

But the four survivors kept one tome hidden from the rest of the Resistance, so that they could learn spells that their peers didn't know of. These four, dubbing themselves the Elinu veHilofus (roughly translated in your language as 'the Bearers of Light'), secretly trained themselves in the element of light. While this element was extremely powerful and was the only element strong enough to seal the Straliné, it had side effects. If used too frequently, the mages casting these spells could go blind, descend into madness, or even spontaneously combust.

After many years of training, the Elinu veHilofus and the Resistance fought the Straliné and their creatures and followers. The Elinu veHilofus then proceeded to seal the Straliné into five different artifacts, driving their servants into hiding, and bringing peace to the land. But the Elinu veHilofus killed themselves in the process, leaving their wives widowed and their children fatherless. But the element of light was not lost forever, contrary to most mage's beliefs. The magic that seeped through the Elinu veHilofus's veins was inheritable, passed down from generation to generation.

In the present day, the Resistance, now known as the Order of Glakís, protect the non-magical people from the creatures tht have arose from their areas of hiding. This Order is hidden; it is forbidden to let any enGlakís (humans that are ignorant to magic) know.

The Order knows their going to need the element of light to re-seal the Straliné into their prisons, but there's no one currently in the order that knows this ancient power! Their going to have to search among the enGlakis to find these people. Luckily, their auras are powerful and easy to track. The bad news? This makes them more susceptible to attacks from those monsters I was talking about earlier.
