In the Legend of Alyssus, there tells a story of two sides: good and evil; warring to become the ultimate ruler of the land. The battle between Lumen and Nocens Atrum produced life, land, and being. But how was their battle waged?
It was foretold that Lumens, kind and pure, used her magic to ward off her brother. Her magic was so powerful, Nocens Atrum could not penetrate her sheild of magic. Furious, he demanded an answer from the depths of hell. Being told that he needed four swords of sin, Nocens Atrum created the Shade and forced them to make these swords. It took many nights and days, but when they were finished, they presented the swords to their evil lord. Taking a sword in each of his four hands, Nocens Atrum once again attacked Lumen. However, he was still not yet able to get through her shield.
Once again, livid with anger, he asked the bowls of hell what to do. He was told he needed to fill the swords with sin. Holding the swords out, four hands reached up from hell and grabbed the blades, fusing them with four sins: hatred, murder, deciet, and violence. With these powerful sins embued into the blades, Nocens Atrum once again attacked Lumen. Lumen's shield was not able to block her brother's swords and it fell. Nocens Atrum had the upper hand at last. However, Lumen was cunning and decided to use a most powerful magic.
This magic cast the swords of Nocens Atrum's hands and forced him into the temple where the Shades he had created promised to keep him locked away as repetence for created the cursed swords. Lumen, greatly weakened from her battle, could not find the cursed swords and prayed that the swords would not be found again. Then, she lay quietly to sleep in the Northern Mountains.
However, Nocens Atrum's swords would not lay quietly. Each sword was tossed unto the land of Alyssus. However, from each of their spots, and throughout generations, they had been moved from one hand to another. Years of violent stories followed them. So spread out, some even made it across sea into other countries.
But now, Nocens Atrum wants them again to finish off his sister while she sleeps. By using King Osirus, he has sent out many requests and demands, followed by great sums of wealth for the swords. He knows of one sword's location; in which is now being returned to his hand. His search for the others are at a high peak. If the swords were to return to his hand...he would surely be able to rid the land of all those he deems unfit.
The swords---
-The swords have much power behind them, indeed. But they are also cursed swords. These swords bring pain, loneliness, and eventually, death to most of those with weak souls. Often, family and friends of the possessors end up dying mysteriously. The King is willing to pay high amounts of gold to gain knowledge and ownership of these swords.
The Cruor Sword- The Murder sword brings much power and ability to whom ever wields it. The possessor of this sword finds himself very easily able to kill and kill effectively. With one swing of this sword, it can bite through armor and skin cleanly. The only way to defend against this sword is by Lumen's magic or another of the sinful swords. Currently, this is the sword being returned to King Osirus. When Israfel tried to intercept this sword, the brave Order General Aden captured and escaped with this sinful sword.
The Dolus Sword- The Deceit sword allows the sword to be hidden when the possessor wishes. It can blend into the fabric in which the possessor is wearing or into the surrounding scenery. It does not show its true form until after the possessor wishes or it makes contact with human blood. Currently, the location of this sword is unknown, but rumors are told that the sword is being held by a traveler that walks the land of Alyssus endlessly.
The Odium Sword- The Hatred sword is said to give its possessor tremendous energy in which is fed to hatred. This unconditional hatred can affect even the most of pure and innocent. It is rumored that the sword is normal enough until the possessor becomes enraged. With anger, it becomes red hot and can cut through armor, much like the Cruor sword. Currently, the Odium sword is no where to be found. The Odium sword once lay quietly hidden in a temple in a land no one traveled. That is, until Laties found out of its position. Pursued by a power not his own, Laties took the sword and...destroyed it.
The Saevio Sword- The Saevio sword, or the Violence sword, is said to fill its possessor with violent tendencies that they cannot control. This sword is said to give is possessor the ability to kill in the most violent manner, often desiring the blood for higher ranks and officials of any court. This sword is also said to be the only sword of the four sinful swords that cannot be blocked by any other of the four swords. The location of this sword is also unknown, but rumored to merely be a peice of armoury art on some one's wall. Given to the King as a present, this sword is now currently in his hands.
