As the mighty phoenix rises from death, so have the warriors of Light risen from the mire of apathy and corruption. It is the Luminaries who have been chosen by the Light to carry the enduring torch to reveal every shadowed corridor and brighten every darkened hall.

The guild of the Luminaries was formed shortly after the disbanding of the Priesthood and was inspired by the revelation gifted by Light to Sahmie Rhashye. Following the precepts of foresight, fortitude, and faith, the guild looks toward the future to guide their actions today.

Practicing the celestial skills of spirituality and devotion, the Luminary also wield the ancient magic that is a combination of fire and light. This extraordinary ability is called Illumination.

While members of the guild are powerful fighters, they are equally dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom and the imparting of wisdom to novices. The guild believes it is through the witness of their daily lives and the debate of their beliefs that the Luminary will win deciding victories over the dark. Also, the maintenance of their inspiration - the Great Spark - is an essential duty to all guild members.

Located in Enorian, the Luminaries are loyal citizens of the Beacon of Light and fierce protectors of her sovereign ground. Those seeking admittance into their ranks should first consult the scroll entitled HELP GUILDNOVICES LUMINARIES.

The Fall of the Priests

During the month of Slyphian, in the year 97, Sahmie Rhasye, guildmistress of the Priests, convened the leaders of the guild to discuss what she saw as a misdirection of the guild's energy. While meeting, she suddenly was overcome by a deep slumber, and her body transcended from the Prime Material Plane. Some hours passed, and she returned to her concerned friends, claiming to have had a profound revelation. This vision illuminated the transgressions of the guild against the realm of the Spirit, and it provided her with a clear picture of what must be done to patch the apathy and worldliness that have overcome them. Quickly she moved to disband her guild, to purge the mars that the revelation had detailed. Surprise and chagrin filled many of her former guildmembers.

As the month wore on, she was approached by many asking what would happen and what she would do. Near the end of the month, she began to hear voices, musical tones, and insects buzzing. She followed their noise to the source deep in Shallam, where she again gathered many of her former guildleaders. They too began to hear this musical noise, which manifested itself as tiny sparkling pinpoints of light. As each professed to hear the sounds and see the lights, the lights became stronger, becoming a full curtain. Sahmie reached out her hand and pulled aside the curtain, to see what was hidden from discovery, and the curtain fell away, revealing two great columns of light, framing the gateway into a new hall. As this hall was revealed, the knowledge of Illumination was granted to Sahmie, and with that knowledge, the guild of Luminaries was created.

Soon after the founding of this guild of light, a faction of the old Priests gathered together and declared that they would continue to hold to the ideals of the old guild. They formed an organization based upon those ideals, and based it within the city of Ashtan, long a harborer of enemies to the Priests. Still the masters of healing, it remains to be seen what they will make of this new opportunity.
