"I... am Numer Morguth. The Embodiment of the Dark, Ruler of the Aesira and the Dark King. I have observed your fragile race since I sit on the throne of my realm, I see you live out your lives and saw your bloody wars. You have lived in a long time of peace and under the protection of the Light. I, shall reap your souls from your lifeless body and torment those who still stands for the Light of Men. I, Numer Morguth shall bring my darkness to you..."

The world of Theros is in terror when the message reached their ears. Fear began to consume the hearts of men. Beasts of the darkness had slain many innocent lives since the Ruler of Aesira had stepped on the sacred world of Theros.

The Order of the Sword had been established in order to combat them. They will fight until the very last drop of blood stains the ground. Their hearts are as courageous as a lion. For the guidance of the Light is always with them.

They fought long enough for the humans to build a city made for the purpose of sheltering refugees during the war between the noble Crusaders and the Black Knights. The city was named as the City of Valour, protected by the mighty Inquisitors of the Brotherhood of Light and the Crusaders of the Order. May the Light guide you in your journeys.

Beyond the walls of the City of Valour, beyond the reach of the Inquisitors' protection, brave men and women of the Order of the Sword had been sent out to reclaim the lost lands of Theros. Blessed by the Empress' guiding Light, none shall stop or corrupt the souls of the Crusaders.




The Herald of the Light


Established with the sole purpose of combating the forces of darkness, the Order stands as the first organization to transform normal humans to superhumans by giving the recruits superhuman attributes such as immunity to diseases, quicker reflexes, vastly extended lifespan, increased strength, more agile and thinks much faster than a normal human being. However, some didn't survive this transformation. And even more during trainings. To be a Crusader one must know the knowledge of monsters they are going to fight. From giants to the menacing spawns of the darkness.
Crusaders do not shun away from magic. Although they are just superhuman knights Crusaders usage of magic are different than those of witches, wizards anf other users of magic. Crusaders uses the 4 spells in battle, which are considered basic spells by greater users of magic. These are Inferno, Barrier, Push and Sight. Inferno grants a Crusader to either engulf his/her weapons in flames or unleash a stream of fire through the hand. Barrier creates a shield that covers them from any attacks in a few seconds. Push grants the Crusader to push an enemy away using a powerful burst of wind.

From silver coated swords, arrows and bolts to potions that'll help them in the Crusade. The Crusaders have been known to use silver coated weapons with runic markings to battle the forces of darkness. Because silver is used to symbolize the Light. Although many people believed that pure silver can be made into a sword but the truth is, they can't. That's why blacksmiths coated all Crusader weapons in silver
The symbol of the Order consists of a circle, a sword and a line which intersects the sword in the middle horizontally. The circle, symbolizes the unity of the Order. The sword however symbolizes the courage and bravery of the Crusaders while intersecting line and the sword will form a cross, symbolizing the endless search of salvation from darkness.Some say the Order are the embodiment of the Empress' will. While the Inquisitors are the bringers of the Empress' burning wrath. They are established to protect the City and to lead a few of the Crusaders into battle. However, the Order and the Inquisitors are somehow rivals. Half of the Inquisitors are also superhumans but far more superior in intelligence.
Magic in the organization is restricted only to combat spells, but mainly uses melee weapons. Although magic is somehow rare in the Inquisition, they can use 2 out of the 4 spells. And an Inquisitor can choose the 2 spells they shall use. After choosing the spells, they will be trained according to what spell they have chosen

The armory of the Inquisitors are not much different than the more-combat active Crusaders. They mainly use silver coated weapons, potions and usable items like flame bombs.
The symbol of the Inquisitors is the symbol of the sun with a shield behind it. The sub symbolizes the Light and the shield symbolizes the will of the Inquisitors




Miscellaneous Information

The technology level is from medieval times, from swords to crossbows. Magic however can only be used by non-commoners and normal soldiers. This means people like the ruler of the City, the Inquisitors, the Crusaders can use magic. Magic is also thought to be originated from the Empress of Light and dark magic, comes from the Ruler of Aesira.Religion is centered around the Empress of Light, or the Lady of the Sun as some might call her. Believing the Empress is the protector of Theros and the Crusaders as well as Inquisitors are the extension of her will. The Empress' name is written in the Codex of Righteousness as Luxar Thera, the wife to the Dark King.The Empress and the King are husband and wife. But why is the King evil you ask? Well, Theros is actually a prison of a dark and evil entity known only as the Old Evil. The Old Evil, corrupted Numer's mind and turning him against his wife. Leaving Luxar without any choice, she and other deities (total deities is unknown, only two is discovered) created Aesira, the place of darkness. Not even a single ray of light shall ever touch the dark realm of Aesira. From time to time, Numer sent many monsters to take Theros but was held back by a chosen warrior only known as the Empress' Herald. The Prophecy had said that if Numer had taken over Theros, her Herald will rise up against the darkness and finally purge the Old Evil.

Name: Rafe Barune
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://pre08.deviantart.net/1ea2/th/pre/i/2014/286/2/9/khyros___commission_by_mizaeltengu-d82qggb.jpg
Equipments: Chain and Leather armor, plate gauntlets. Vials of alchemists fire.
Skills: Swordplay and magic.
Weapons: Bastard sword/magics
Goal: Rafe is the soul survivor of his family. After passing the trials of the Order he now lives to combat the dark king and his forces.
Personality: Rafe grew up to become a Nihalist. He see's little reason for the hopeful optimisim of most people in the kingdom. The only time he truly feels alive is in the heat of battle and has little paitence for anyone who would seek to avoid direct conflict with their enemy.
Backstory: Rafe was born outside of Valour, back when the city was still new and the common folk were still fleeing for shelter. Rafe was the middle child of his family, his father a retired town guard married toa housewife who had bore him two sons and a young daughter. Rafe was only five when the fiends attacked their wagon. Rafe only survived when the over turned wagon threw him into a river washing him away toward Valour.
It was there that the angry youth was found by the inquisitors and trained to join the order. The tasks and trials turned his hair white, his eyes yellowed and Rafes anger became a somber humor at the nature of his existence. He spends his days now ranging from Valour in search of the dark kings minions hopeing to provoke the dark god into a head on confrontation.

Skills: Swordsmanship and a little bit of survival.

Weapons: A bastard sword, a short hammer for backup, and a kite shield.

Backstory: Kane, is a bastard son of a declining noble who is soon abandoned by his father, leaving the mother to take care of Kane until he reached 10. Kane's mother died soon after he celebrated his 10th birthday. Kane didn't remember what happened during the night she was killed but he knows the murderer had an evil heart. Without any parent to raise him as a child he began to steal things from the markets, and get caught occasionally. By the time he reached 21, he began to hunt down his mother's murderer but he was assaulted by the murderer's minions. He was nearly killed if not for the Crusaders that passed by.

The Crusaders tried to take him in many times until Kane himself agreed to join. From the day he joined the Crusaders, he became a master swordsman but he can't beat one man. Rafe.

Appearance:https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/af/8a/4a/af8a4ac35b06762ea80fe86b30dd5d45.jpg

Equipments: Leather chest piece and gauntlets. Light chain mail for easy mobility and protection.

Skills: Archery is her best skill. Her accuracy with a bow transfers over to her knife throwing ability. She is proficient with a sword but it is not her favorite weapon. She knows how to survive off the land. The two spells she knows is Push and Sight.

Weapons: Longbow, silver tipped arrows, a silver coated saxe knife, along with several silver coated throwing knives.

Goal: She's looking for adventure at any turn possible.

Personality: Luma is optimistic to a fault. Even though she came from humble beginnings, she learned that everything always gets better with the right attitude. She loves adventure. Luma is a survivor and will do almost anything to keep on living. Well... almost anything since she was a clear sense of what is right and wrong and will almost never, ever go against her morals.

Backstory: She was abandoned in the dead of winter at the base of Mons Leonis when she was a baby. This was because of her white hair. When she was found by the Free Men and was raised by them. She was almost half dead when she was found and it was a miracle that she was alive.

As she was growing up, she learned how to survive in the mountains and in the forests by herself for days on end. She was also taught rudimentary archery. Once she was of age, she joined the Inquisitors. There she flourished under their tutelage. She improved her archery skills and learned how to throw knifes with almost 100% accuracy. There is no one who is better at archery than her.

⋘One may fear the coming of the tides, for it brings blood and despair. However, it only comes with the tide because war and other anomalies had birthed its coming. That, in the Light of the Empress, could anyone come to know the true meaning of life...⋙

Stats

Strength: 14 (+2)
Dexterity: 14 (+2)
Constitution:10
Intelligence: 13 (+1)
Wisdom: 11
Charisma: 8


Weapons

Great Sword


Goal: He wants to save the world from the erupting chaos that has plagued the land.

Personality

Ichas is a strong man at heart. His will and strength to brace the unexpected makes him a well-fought warrior in the realms of battle. However, do to some unexpected shortcomings in his life, he has been molded into an untrustworthy asset in battle. He doesn't seem to be the one you could put your trust in, when it is needed most. But that's due to his trust problems as he has been betrayed several times over - betrayals that nearly costed his life. (Will develop as the story progresses)


Backstory

Living in a village that was just before the "Land that was Beyond The Light" was rough for young Ichas. Terrors and other forms of dangers plagued those north fronts. Walls, that were based towards the north of his village, were posted in order to keep those dangers from leaking into their sanctum. However, life was not as easy as some might think. Those walls would constantly leak darkness into the villages that dare make settlement here. And that darkness would corrupt the city people, causing many to exile them or straight up murder them. These heinous acts were at the witness of Ichas which has caused his mind to suppress the strong desires of redemption by the Empress. He wanted to forget those times as he was an only child. His childhood, seeing those acts, was plagued with misfortune. The death of his mother and father, his time as an orphan, and other misfortune that he does not speak of all happened to young Ichas to make him into the warrior he is now.

He eventually left his home village to travel throughout southern lands...
