Dranoa
This light took the form of six heroes. Heroes that would sacrifice all that they loved to see the world into better days.
The first was a young man named Barro Gilson. He was the youngest son of the strongest wizard alive. His father, Lorka, was in charge of the council that hunted the dark wizards. Now Barro was strong with his will and magic, but not nearly as strong as his father. And no where near as ruthless. Barro was a kind soul, the type of person that one sees giving a beggar some food, or gladly giving his shirt to vagabond. You see, to Barro, possesions were important. What was important was the quality of life that one lived.
Now when Barro was younger, he was apprenticed to a wizard named T'orl Grans, and most people considered T'orl crazy. But he taught Barro all that he knew. Everything from magic spells, to potions, but most importantly he taught Barro to worship all life. That was why most considerd him crazy, because to him all life was equal. Everything from a single insect all the way to dragons all held the same importance in the flow of life.
Barro grew older and wiser under the tutelage of the old wizard. And as he grew, he began to realize that mankind would never be free from the darkness that resided deep in their soul. Though they may never rid themselves of the darkness, they could fight the urges, and control the evil within themselves. Even after he passed all tests, and was named a full wizard, Barro continued to study under T'orl. He hoped that he could one day find a cause that would unite all mankind, and return them to the path of light that once followed.
After a time, as the war progressed, and humanity slipped deeper into the darkness, Barro realized that if wanted an idea to untie mankind, he may have to create one himself. So he went to his mentor, and the two began to create a symbol of life. They studied, and they thought, and finally they began to create a sword. But this sword was not an ordinary one, it represented the power of all life. It gave the wielder the power of all things that drew breath.
It took them many years to complete this powerful sword, but after much sweat, blood and tears, they had finished. Barro and T'orl were excited, hoping that this might end the war between men, and between man and dragon. In their hope, they became blind. In their hope, they help destory the world that they knew.
Barro took the sword to his father and the council, hoping to show them that the need for war was over. But during the years, the council had became what the strove to destroy. They had taken to much power, and in doing so had corrupted themselves. Upon seeing the sword, they were overcome with a longing to wield its power. Barro and T'orl had forgotten that men reach for the darkness, and they realized that no man should ever control the power of this sword. They refused the council's plea for the weapon.
