"As a traveling medicine man, I can tell you many tales and stories of the past; of both fantastical things and tales of truth. Our land was once peaceful, as you and I both know. We can both tell each other of a time before King Osirus of peace and prosperity. But I'm not interested in this tale, nor are you. We are here to discuss a story only a handful of people in the world know about. I am one of those few who know about this tale and now, I wish to let the world know about it. The Four Sinful Swords are being fought over and blood is being uselessly shed over these weapons of evil. So you say the Order has one? Well, what good will it do them? Their innocent warriors will quickly be turned by the sword's dark magic if they are not careful. But what If I told you of something that could be used to fight against these dark swords and their weilder? Foolishness you say. Lumen never left anything, you say. Well, let me forgo a tale upon you. We begin...
Lumen was a beautiful and loving Goddess. She loved all her children she created equally and desired nothing but peace for the land she had created with her dark brother. But she was saddened by her brother's wishes to ruin this beautiful land and she wept for the safety of her children. When Nocens Atrum had the sword sinful swords created, Lumen asked the very heavens what she should do. Heaven answered her; to collect all white magic she could and weave a shield that would protect itself against the Four Sinful Swords. She did as was suggested and spent many nights and days weaving this shield. And when she finished it on the same day Nocens Atrum gained the swords, she found it to be more powerful than she had imagined. Not only did it protect her, but it parried the swords so it sent them flying across the world away from Nocens Atrum and it forced Nocens Atrum to disappear from the world.
However, exhausted from her days of heaving and gathering, Lumen decided to sleep. But before her slumber, she asked the elves of the North to create a pendant that would contain her magic. This pendant was to be given to a good King who would protect her magic and her children. And so the elves did as asked and created a brilliant golden pendant in Lumen's image. Lumen then infused the pendant with her white essence and returned to the Cove in which she would sleep until she was called upon by her children. The elves guarded the pendant for many long years until the gentle King Scion, late father of the evil King Osirus, came into rule and the elves saw him fit to carry the pendant. And so he did, until something terrible happened...
King Scion's only son, the crowned Prince Osirus, grew up into an evil man; possessed by Nocens Atrum. Fearing his sons undoubted power, he split the pendant in half and gave one half to his wife. The Queen wore the pendant so that if her husband were to die an unnatural death and the pendant taken from him, she would have at least one half in which to awaken Lumen. However, when Osirus killed the King, he was taken from her quickly to the Sacred Lake where he was tossed in with a rock bound to his feet. Then, Osirus murdered the gentle Queen and bound her body and placed it in an icy cave in the Northern Mountains. Lumen's Pendant was lost.
But whose to say that if the two halves of the pendant were brought back together that Lumen herself might come back and save the land of Alyssus? Of course, Lumen's trust has been neglected and there is a rumor that she is looking for a specific person to with hold her power...just who could that be?"
