The Order of the Divine Light are followers of Aoalani. The Deity of The Sun. The Divine Light. The Spark of Creation. These clerics, paladins, priests, and monks believe in the power of the radiant sun.

Without centuries of history and establishment in place, the inhabitants of this new world focused on rebuilding their part of the land.  Over time people began traveling to other parts of the world for trade and travel.  The roads that began to form were not a part of any one nation, so no one nation rose to protect or govern them.  In this, an organization arose to fill the power vacuum.  Highwaymen that ruled the open roads. 

The world of Kul De’Has is built upon the ruins of the previous age.  A lot was lost. Or so it was believed.  As the legends of the World That Was spread throughout the lands, many went searching through the ruins in hopes of finding the treasures of the age.  The Echo did a thorough job of wiping out traces of the past.  Any useful bit of anything was scavenged long ago.

Legend has it that that a group of gnomes would not accept this as the answer.  Their leader, Heinvart Colmguild, a noted cartographer and treasure hunter of his day, scoured the world searching for clues of the past.  His hunt brought him all over the world.  Searching ruins and libraries.  Chasing dead end after dead end.  For over a century his hunt continued. Throughout this, the group of followers changed, but Heinvart remained.  Ever vigil.  Slowly, discouragement ravaged the group.  The party became smaller and smaller, until only Heinvart remained.  People thought he was crazy to continue his hunt.  But he payed them no mind.  Until one day…. he vanished.  Many say he died.  But some believe he finally found what he was looking for.  Every once in a while, someone will find one of Heinvart’s maps, or a clue he unintentionally left behind, and they will have themselves a treasure hunt.  Nothing is ever found though and has now been chocked up as a fool’s errand.

……..or was it?

Morality is not a construct of the divine. Good, evil. These concepts came into being when aspects of existence began being viewed through the eyes of The Created. Their knowledge of what came before them was limited so they sought to understand the vastness of creation and their place in it. It was a fascinating development. One that The Beings of Origin took great pleasure in observing.

Pleasure is an interesting beast. It can bathe its benefactor in its radiant joy. All other thought burns away and allows its host to bask in euphoria. All fires that burn, however, leave change in their wake. In some, the burning fires of pleasure left behind a clarifying sense of purpose. Bringing with it a desire to fill others with the same feelings that set them on their journey through existence. Others took a much different path.

When the fires of pleasure burned through them, it was fueled from their core. Leaving behind a blackened empty hole straight through the center of their being. Instead of a euphoric cleansing, they experienced a brief flight of exhilaration that was quickly replaced by a gnawing emptiness. They became unable to look outward to others. They could only look inward, to the void inside themselves. This void became their purpose. Constantly seeking to chase those feeling of Euphoria to fill the emptiness inside them. An all-consuming endeavor, but futile in its pursuits. It was this hunger from within that became their driving force. The hunger spread to others. As it spread its power over the created grew. The Creators of origin looked on in disbelief as the unthinkable happened. The hunger became aware.

Kul De’Has is a world built upon the ruins of our modern society. This post-post-apocalyptic world has gone from the age of magic and fantasy, into the era of man and modern civilization, past it’s fall and desolation and back again to its origins. Standing upon the corpse of our wasted, modern world.
