Excerpt from Star Crystal...
"The Shadowers discovered the secrets of the Celestial Eye quickly enough, discovered that it was the sole link that bonded the gods to this world. And so, at the climax of the First Dragonwar, they shattered the prism, engendering in its stead a void of oblivion. The gods were severed. The magic released by this cataclysm literally destroyed everything within a thousand mile radius. Magic ran amok, sweeping the continents. One thousand years. The kingdoms of this land cried out to the gods but received nothing in response. They became bitter, angry, certain the gods had abandoned them on capricious whim.
And here the Shadowers proved their inexperience. Anyone who truly understands the principles governing magic would know that power of this magnitude cannot run rampant forever. It went right back into the vortex. One thousand years of divine sequestration, then another thousand of rebuilding the Divine Shards. The gods' reemergence into this world was agonizingly slow. At first the mortals spurned them, dared them to return to the land they had so tempestuously forsaken. It was only after the Druid Lord Eruditis united a band of priests and unblinded them to the truth did the gods once again receive the veneration they were due. Eruditis called his band the Divine Order.
The rest of the world called them Renegades...."

Personality: Fair-minded. Sympathesizes with those who are in the Divine order, but does not show it publicly. He keeps these things to himself. Used to be friends with a druid apprentice when they were young adolescents.

History: Born to a family of swordsmen, Ethaniel went out on his own at the age 16, to his family's approval. He learned his swordsplay from his father, and a few tricks from his mother. He had a sister who died on a job when he was 12 years old. She shared a close bond with him, being 2 years his senior. She taught him many useful things, including many tricks she herself had discovered.

Appearance: He has long dark hair, a rather rugged and scarred face, greenish eyes, a number of earrings and rings, he wears a long dark jacket over his otherwise brown and black clothes.
Personality: Obsessed in pleasing his masters, views other lifeforms as lesser beings that can only be used or that can get in his way to meddle with his plans. Ambitious in his own right as he wishes to become recognized as a demon lord one day, which truly is an ambitious claim to achieve.
History:
Malcar was the son of a woman who had been seduced and captured by a demon, the demon kept the woman alive to take care of Malcar. They actually lived in a crowded city where they appeared as a happy merchant couple, but behind the scenes there was a constant atmosphere of fear and anger. Yet when Malcar was old enough to understand what he was and to answer for his own doings, he killed his own father who had pretended to be a merchant all for nothing.
But as always murder never goes unnoticed and Malcar`s true nature was also discovered so he fled, but his mother was caught and burned for being in league with demons. Malcar turned away from his hometown and ran away to the wilderness where he survived due to his demonic nature. His luck was however about to turn as he ran into a cultist who served a powerful demon lord and thus Malcar was taken into the cultists protection. He was turned into a fanatical cultist with the blessings of his demons masters upon him.
Yet still again when his life was about to settle disaster struck, his cultist master was executed a number of renegades. Malcar could not match their strength together, but decided to wait for them to be off guard. That chance never came as they disappeared out of his sight soon after so that he could not follow them. Now Malcar seeks to gain more power by serving his lord and only waiting for the chance to come around to have revenge upon the renegades.
Name: Aedon Mandehvor [Sparrowhawk]
Age: 29
Affiliation: Divine Order
Hair color: Red
Eye color: Blue-grey (always!
)
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 190 lbs
Attire: Green, white, and brown tunic, trousers, etc.
Weapons: Long-hilted, slightly-curved sword and a dagger or two
Background: Aedon was born in a small town to a well-off family. Not the most well-off, but certainly not poor. He had a kind father and a loving mother. Unfortunately for him, it all was for naught when he was recruited into the Divine Order by a Follower who had sparked his interest, but was less than subtle. Many others also were talked into joining the Order, but they attracted too much attention. Two entire regiments of the local armsmen had rounded them up, all except for a very few, and taken them off to the slave camps--those they did not execute, that is.
Aedon was one of those that escaped. His parents were not. His motives in joining the Order merely reinforced, Aedon put his heart and soul into the efforts of Eruditis' Order. However, he had no desire to become a Druid. Over the staff he chose the sword, because his underlying desire at all times is to cut down those who took away his parents, not watch them vanish in a burst of magic. He is a warrior with a vengeance.
