The Gem of Arckarian
Prolouge
"In a dark city of a dark land there was created a amulet of incredible power." The old wizened woman looked over the young darkelves before her with milky ancient eyes. "This amulet contained within its silver facets the Stone of Arckarian, created by our Lord and given to the ancestor of my order." Her gaze rested on the youngest of the youths before her for an instant. "The amulet was given to the direct ancestor of one of you in this room." Her gaze swept the small chamber looking in turn to all the upturned faces. They were all looking at each other wondering who could be the descendent of the receiver of the Stone. The only one in the room not wondering if it was them was Nacreth the youngest of them all with a past she thought to disgraced to have any honor in it. The old crone chose that moment to reveal to them the descendent and her new apprentice in the arts of the Blood Mages. "Nacreth was the name of the woman who received the Stone," She looked down at Nacreth "Your ancestor Nacreth received it. Your namesake was the first of our order and you shall be the next to learn its secrets!"
