Introduction

In legendary times, when the humankind was not more than a collection of primitives living in caves and mud huts, when monsters and beasts controlled the world, heroes appeared to defend and guide humanity to their rightful place has Masters of the World. Those Heroes were the ones who united the tribes, who invested pur modern tools, who sparked the flame of glory in humankind. One of those legenday heroes was Randis, the warrior.

He was the one who led his people against the beasts, driving them from the plains, the forest, the mountains. He is the one who led thier people to build their city, to create their nation, to be a realm. But that was stuff of legends and dreams....

History

For the Mekorig House, Randis was a legend, a tale, the supposed legendary founder of their House, used has a figure to incentive the youngs to reach higher ends of glory and nobility. And for Dedmerath, Baldur and Nicodemus, that was truth. The legends molded their viewpoints, supporting them to be better nobles, better warriors, better leaders.

But something happened. Shortly after Dedmerath died, while he was still grieving his recently dead sister, a stranger gave Nicodemus a odd looking gold tablets. It was written on strange and antique looking runes, and his curiosity was fueled by this mistery. What he found amaze him. That tablets were the proof of Randis`s existance, the first proof. He quickly send copys to his brother Baldur, hoping that he could found other piece of the mistery that helped to unlock the wisdom locked in the strange runes.

This key arrive some month later, in the occupied city of Ashfort. Maybe the Gods, maybe the Destiny, or maybe sheer and pure luck made Baldur found it. In the recently abandoned house of an Old Rancagua noble, an old book rested in a forgotten library. It was the work of a Sirionite sage about the ancient lenguages of the Dreamtime. And the final piece to translate the tablets. What Baldur found was Randis`s legacy, his gift for the future generations, his wisdom recopilated.

Baldur quickly found himself overhelmed by the knowledge. He need to found a place to tech it to others. But the East Continent was a war thorn place, with too much hate among its nations. He need a new place, a wild place in need of the wisdom. And he found that place in Dwilight.

Ideals

Randis legacy was one of wisdom and leadership.It is a guide to war, leadership, goverment and elightment.

He postulate that humankind need leaders to reach its potencial. That is the post of the nobles, the ones who led the masses to the glory, peace and prosperity, and those who defend them against any danger. This is because of the Divine`s Imperative. The Human Gods care for their flock, and their love for their creation is reflected in the will that push the nobles to lead and nurture humankind.

Also humankind, to propspere, needs to learn how to cooperate.

He also tells about who a noble must behave, in peace and in battle, be this in the real battlefield or in the social one. He talks about the Honor and Glory, who to keep and gain it, always while doing it for the ones under your charge, the proper rules of engagement, the elighment and knowledge, and how these are vital for the nobles.
