Many years ago, there brewed an ugly storm. The sky was pitch black, the winds howled wildly, and the rain would not stop pouring down the lands. Many homes were destroyed, livestock ruined and many people died. Everyone feared that it was the end of time. But as quickly as it began it ended. A ray of light broke through from the dark clouds, shining down in the streets of the land of Solace. A heavenly woman of great beauty floated down from that light. In great anger and sorrow she spoke.

“I am the reason you suffer. I am the cause of this plague. But you are to blame for my heart ache.”
The people of Solace started at this bewitching being bewildered. Before anyone could say anything the feminine figure continued.

“A mortal dared to trespass in my home, taking with them my beloved sacred jewels. I do not tolerate thievery, but I also do not wish to be the cause of anymore deaths,” she explained that before the thief was out of her sight she was able to cast one more spell. The spell was meant to hit the thief, but instead she managed to knockout the bag in which her jewels were kept in. The twelve jewels scattered across the land.
“Riches, immortality, life, power,” the woman held out her hands as they glowed in a radiant light, showing off her powers. “To whoever returns my gems in whole, I will grant thee anything they desire,”

People searched for these jewels the goddess spoke of, but none could be found. People began to question their existence. Many gave up, but there were still a great handful of people that could not turn down the offer of gaining anything they could possibly have. People died in failure and the woman’s story slowly began to fade in the few years that passed. That is until one man found one of the jewels, the King. It was embedded on a person. Out of curiosity the man took the jewel from the person’s body, killing them as soon as the gem was taken. He found that the gems, like a parasite, found a host to live on. In return for taking their bodies, the gems offered them prolonged life and power, but that was only if they let the gems overtake them, which was always the case.

Violence soon grew. People went mad looking for them once again. Anyone wearing any sort of jewelry was killed. Wars began and the people became divided. Most of the people with gems made themselves known. They formed clans with people that wanted to protect them, fighting against those seeking power, killing those with greed in their hearts.

However the King that found that first gem promised people that he would share his riches with anyone that helped him. He would use the power the goddess would give him for the benefit of the people. The words he spun won over many people, giving them hope for a better tomorrow. That is all he wished for and it made his army strong.
