The Crystalline Keepers

A Clan of Crystals and Cosmology

The Keepers originally formed as a young group of dragons, driven by adventure and the need to discover answers - about magic and dark magic and the reason for its existence. They were scholarly and experimental. They travelled all around Sonreith, accepting stragglers and gifted dragons. When they thought they were coming close to the very source of magic itself, they were approached by the Arcanist. He told them they were young and naive, but full of overwhelming potential and offered them a deal; guard Arcane magic in exchange for wisdom and knowledge but on the condition of an overshadowing prophesy: the Clan would come under great peril and a tough decision would come where they would have to choose what is most important; protecting lives and a legacy or undying loyalty and unquenchable knowledge. They agreed and hence, took on the name, the 'Keepers' - all becoming responsible for guarding an element of magic or earth. They evolved for years like this, the young dragons becoming wise, old dragons intimately bound to their duty who radiated with magic and wisdom, their magic and 'spirituality' deeply intertwined with the crystals of the Starfall Isles. This was until, the dawn of the nocturnes.

Born of the shadows, these nocturnes were drawn to the light of Arcane magic. At first, they lived peacefully with the Keepers, until one cruel nocturne began rallying up the nocturnes and calling them the 'superior breed'. She had the power to manipulate the minds of her fellow nocturnes and desperately wanted the Arcane magic. An army of nocturnes rose up against the Keepers. A long, intense battle of bloodshed ensued and took the lives of many Keepers, but eventually, they harnessed the magic, just as the prophesy had promised and overthrew the cruel nocturne's reign. As a consequence for using this forbidden magic, they suffered a horrible amnesia that wiped them of the true knowledge of magic. They had betrayed their duty to the Arcanist. As an act of mercy and forgiveness, the Arcanist revisited the Clan in shambles and banished the cruel nocturne to an internal prison in her mind that stimulated constant agony, then handed her back over to the Keepers, as a sign of their endurance and victory. She remains in their Lair, guarded by the Keepers.

It has been a long time since then, long enough for the Keepers to be divided by the pinnacle event, into both 'veteran' members and new members. The older members tell stories of when the legendary Arcanist came to visit them or fierce stories of battle. The younger members of the Clan restore a vibrance and hope. They are the promise of a Clan with a history, who will flourish for a long while to come.

The Keepers have learned a lot. While the Arcanist no longer requires their service, they remain loyal keepers and protectors of the Starfall Isles, recruiting a diverse group of dragons, ready to take on any adventure that arises with a pledge to remain in harmony for an eternity to come.
