The Lore
In the aftermath of the Long War, the land of Sosoria bore the scars of its relentless conflict with the wretched vampires of the Crimson Court and their vile minions. Desperate for any advantage against this looming threat, the people of Sosoria discovered two extraordinary wonders: Lore Stones and crystalline shards known as Nexus Shards. These artifacts, imbued with mysterious powers, were swiftly delivered to the High Council for study.
The Great Wizard, alongside a council of Sosoria's most brilliant minds, dedicated themselves to unraveling the secrets of these newfound treasures. After days and nights of relentless study, they uncovered their true potential. The Lore Stones were found to contain the knowledge and skills of ancient champions, capable of bestowing their legendary arts upon those who wielded them. The Nexus Shards, on the other hand, were revealed to harness the very essence of Sosoria's power. These crystals could amplify the natural abilities of their users, enhancing the potency of spells and the strength of weapon strikes.
The creation of what we now call the Talisman was not a swift endeavor. For months, whispers of strange gems and powerful crystals echoed from beyond the walls of Britain. It was only when one of these gems came into the possession of the Great Wizard and his council that the vision began to take shape. With the acquisition of a Nexus Crystal, the plan was finally solidified. However, to ensure that the Talismans would never be wielded for evil, each one was inscribed with a protective rune. This rune would prevent the Talisman from being used to harm any citizen of Sosoria, ensuring its power was reserved for the defense of the realm.
The creation of the first Talisman marked a turning point for Sosoria, uniting its people as never before. This monumental achievement would forever alter the course of the land. From this endeavor, the Foundations were born—guilds of the greatest minds and talents in their respective fields. Hunters, Tamers, Crafters, and Gatherers all found a place within these collectives, each contributing to the ongoing struggle against the Crimson Court.
The first Talisman, known as the "Warlord's Talisman," was crafted to empower the warriors of Sosoria. By socketing what are now called Legacy Gems, warriors could unlock the Battle Arts of ancient champions. Nexus Crystals further enhanced their abilities when embedded into the Talisman. The success of the Warlord's Talisman paved the way for the creation of many others, each designed to harness the unique strengths of Sosoria's defenders.
