Lore

Lastarus is the only remaining Guardian, his duty is to protect his pride and defend his honor, by devoting his aeon long life to keeping the Darkin Source out of the reach of anyone and everyone but himself.

There was a time, long ago, before the generation of modern civilization, before even the epoch of the frozen watchers, stretching beyond the boundaries of recorded history known as the dark age, over which reigned the Darkin, a race of ruthless blood-thirsty creatures, with a desire for war and battle so outrageously potent, that they were unmatched and uncontested throughout the lands, except by the ones known as the Guardians.

These beings were bound to their pride like a hawk to its prey, from the age of 7 they were trained merely to defend their race. They were a race so infused in defensive battle that they had their armour welded to their bodies. In order to ensure maximum survivability against the Darkin they were taught only to fight back, never to start the fight, this manner of combat secured the proceeding of their people for many a century.

The Guardians concealed a special stone in a secret temple that they had been able to take from the blade of a captured enemy; they called it the Darkin Source. Each century 4 Guardians would be selected and given knowledge and power from their predecessor so as to protect and study the Darkin Source, these were called Seekers. Another was called upon to guard the temple as if it were his life, this was Lastarus’ task.

During an unexpected attack from the enemy, the Guardian race was abolished in a matter of instances and the Darkin were headed straight for the temple. As a protective measure the Seekers gave their power, along with their lives, to form a protective barrier, not only to keep the Darkin Source safe, but also to give Lastarus strength enough to fight off the Darkin himself, he succeeded, swinging his Hammer-Shield through the crowd of adversaries and slicing them with his Axe-Blade. Unable to break his defenses or counter his attacks, the Darkin fell, one by one, until only a handful remained, unbeknown to Lastarus, lying on the battleground, surviving only by draining their Blood Wells. Lastarus' great, new found strength and power were not only a blessing, but also a curse, as from now he was bound to the Darkin Source which was constantly grabbing at his mind trying to make him turn from Guardian to Darkin. He now seeks to annihilate what remains of the Darkin, for this is the only way for him to be rid of his burden.

-"I shall not let this cursed stone twist my mind yet, for I must fight on!" - Lastarus
