In the Beginning... there were Three
...still flowing in eternal darkness, the lands were reborn from chaos through these children, and under the watchful eyes of the Arkati. It was this darkness that the moonlight pierced, brought forth as it was from these three sisters and their celestial embodiments in the blue night sky. As each young maiden grew in the light of their own moon, they took on names for themselves, and personalities within...
Lo'Tish'ana
...and thus it was that Lo'Tish'ana, the sister of light, sat in the white glow of the largest of heavenly bodies, what we now call the moon of Liabo. Her light touch brought warmth and life to the lands. She was greatly loved by the children of the Arkati, and many listened to her reiterate the teachings she was passed. Indeed, Lo'Tish'ana was a welcome beacon of love in those troubled times...

Tra'Lan'ari ...and so the second sister, Tra'Lan'ari, pulled her nature from the red glow of what we see as the moon of Tilaok. She had a unique power to see all outlooks of life and existence. Fully understanding the need for the balance of nature, Tra'Lan'ari preached her knowledge of the centering of the lands. She strove to bring peace to the many different factions of beings in the lands, instructing them how to live together in harmony...

Das'Phan'ara
...lastly, there was Das'Phan'ara, born of the dark light of the moon of Lornon. Being birthed into full blackness, she understood the ways of darkness more than any of her siblings, and taught of the strength and power of the night. She watched over the creatures about her, judging and vindicating as she saw fit. Das'Phan'ara often supplied the knowledge of the Arkati which others would not pass on...
The Telling of the Three...
From the Tome of the Ancients
The tome before you stands as one of the more ancient historical accounts in the entire library. Brittle cracks widen in your hands as you delicately caress the parchment penned so many years ago.
In the beginning there were the three. From the Alkari’s bosom they were born, weaned on the teachings of the great one, and fed on the knowledge of their elders.
After the time of great destruction, when the beasts of Drake fought those which penetrated the Veil, the lands were scorched and broken. It was in these barren times that the great Alkari were powerful and strong, and at their feet grew three elven sisters, among a handful of others.
Still flowing in eternal darkness, the lands were reborn from chaos through these children, and under the watchful eyes of the Alkari. It was through this darkness that the moonlight pierced, brought from these three sisters and their celestial embodiments in the blue night sky. As each young maiden grew in the light of their own moon, they took on names for themselves, and personalities within.
Lo’Tish’ana, the sister of light, sat in the white glow of the largest of heavenly bodies, what we now call the Moon of Liabo. Her light touch brought warmth and life to the lands. She was greatly loved by the children of the Alkari, and many listened to her reiterate the teachings she was passed. Indeed, Lo’Tish’ana was a welcome beacon of love in these troubled times.
The second sister, Tra’Lan’ari, pulled her nature from the red glow of what we see as the Moon of Tlilok. She had a unique power to see all outlooks of live and existence. Fully understanding the need for the balance of nature Tra’Lan’ari preached her knowledge of the centering of the lands. She was able bring peace to the many different factions of beings in the lands, instructing them how to live together in harmony.
Lastly there was Das’Phan’ara, born of the dark light on the Moon of Lornon. Being birthed into full blackness she understood the ways of darkness more than any of her siblings, and taught of the strength and power of the night. She watched over the creatures about her, judging and vindicating as she saw fit. Das’Phan’ara often supplied the knowledge of the Alkari which others would not pass on.
These three Sisters often sat together and debated the planes of existence. As the Elven Empire grew, and their thirst for knowledge expanded, the Sisterhood found more and more pilgrims arriving to benefit from their teachings. Great leaders would often seek out this Trine of Sisters, and base heavy decisions upon their words. Peace and harmony blessed the realms in these fruitful times.
Yet it was not to be longlasting. After the passing of many moons, the Alkari power and influence in the realms of the mortals dissipated. During this inward turn, the factions of the Elven Empire began to vie against one another, plunging the empire into chaos. Factions vied for power and control as the holy rulers twisted and perverted the teachings of the Alkari and began to worship them as demented deities and gods.
At that time, the Trine of Sisters swore an oath to return the true teaching of the elders at all costs. Before they left their moonstone temple, they took ten of their most learned and devout followers, each a sister who spent a lifetime with their teachings. As individuals they would represent one circle of magick, for which they would commit all knowledge thereof to memory and verse. Yet combined they would represent the entire learnings of the circles. As the Trine gave this High Council their blessing they made certain each promised to record their knowledge and maintain the ancient libraries of the Sisterhood.
Each sister set forth to speak to the leaders and bring their teachings individually, with hope to cure this insanity among them. Lo’Tish’ana voyaged to Ta'Illistim to share her light with Linsandrych Illistim, who was the closest of elven factions that still embraced the teachings of old. Tra’Lan’ari set forth for the lands of the Sylphs. There she brought her ways of balance and harmony to the forest dwellers, knowing a time of great peril would soon descend upon the lands, and the nature must be preserved. Das’Phan’ara set out past the southern wastelands, there to the lands where the Ur-Daemons once ruled. She knew of the great powers embedded in those hills, with which she might force the bickering houses to see the error of their ways. It was on this scorched soil …
*** Here the parchment has been torn and purposefully burned, as if trying to erase some part of the history of which it spoke ***
… the lands blackened and broken once again. Decomposing flesh rotted the ground upon which it lay, burning its horrible message into the depths of the soil. The grief which tore at the sisterhood was terrible. They knew the Trine of Three would never return to their moonstone home. With that knowledge they shut their doors, pushed out the pilgrims, and turned their backs on a society which was nothing more than and handful of crippled and scattered remains. There sat the Abbey for almost ten thousand years.
