At the dawn of time, when the world was nothing but chaos without form or boundaries, two twin brothers were born—Elias, the Lord of Light, and Morvion, the Lord of Darkness. They emerged from a single source—the Primordial Impulse that birthed existence itself.

The Birth of the World The brothers weren't enemies from the start. On the contrary, they created the world through their joint efforts:

Elias drew a beam of pure light across the void—thus the stars, the sun, life, and joy were born. His breath gave birth to forests, rivers, and the first living creatures.

Morvion outlined the boundaries of shadows—thus were nights, the depths of the seas, caves, and secrets. His whispers gave birth to dreams, ancestral memories, and the wisdom hidden in silence.

Together they established a balance: day gave way to night, summer to winter, joy to sorrow. The world flourished because neither light nor darkness sought to suppress the other.

Discord But one day, Elias saw Morvion bestowing knowledge of death upon mortals—not as a curse, but as part of a cycle. The bright god feared that the fear of darkness would darken souls, and decided to banish his brother so that the world would become eternally radiant.

Morvion, insulted and enraged, responded with force. The Battle of Dawn and Twilight began—a clash of light and shadow, thunder and silence. The world shook: mountains rose to the sky, oceans boiled, and the first peoples hid in caves in terror.

Sacrifice and reconciliation Realizing that their war would destroy their creation, the brothers stopped. Each made a sacrifice:

Elias gave up some of his radiance to create the moon, a symbol of reconciliation that shines at night, reminding us of the light.

Morvion dissolved some of his darkness into the earth, giving life to crystals that hold the memory of centuries and glow in the darkness.

They made the Oath of Balance:

"As long as there is light, there will be shadow. As long as there is day, there will be night. He who tries to destroy one of us will destroy the world. We are two sides of one whole."

Lessons of a Legend Since then, in the world of Elrindale they believe:

Light is hope, revelation, protection, creativity. Its symbols are the sun, the white falcon, and the quartz crystal. Elias's servants are priests, healers, and judges.

Darkness is mystery, depth, transformation, memory. Its symbols are the moon, the black raven, and the amethyst. Morvion's worshipers are sages, keepers of knowledge, and masters of illusion.

Balance is sacred. Festivals are held at dusk—when light and darkness meet. In the temples of both gods, altars stand side by side: one with a mirror (a reflection of light), the other with a well (an abyss of secrets).

Manifestations in the world Natural cycles: dawn disperses the fog but does not eliminate it; stars are visible only in the dark sky.

Magic: Light spells require shadow to focus on, while dark spells are fueled by daylight energy.

Culture: Fairy tale heroes often undergo tests of both light (the test of truth) and darkness (the test of fear) in order to gain wisdom.

Moral: In Elrindale, good and evil are not divided by color. They say, "Blind light blinds, absolute darkness suffocates. Truth lies in harmony."

In ancient times, when the world was young and people inexperienced, Elian, the god of Light, and Morvion, the god of Darkness, decided to test humanity. They appeared to the tribal elders and offered to choose one gift for all peoples.

Elian said:

"I will give you the fire of knowledge—the ability to comprehend the secrets of the world. You will learn to build cities, heal wounds, and foresee storms. But remember: knowledge without wisdom leads to pride."

Morvion replied:

"And I grant depth of understanding—the ability to see hidden connections, read the signs of fate, and hear the whispers of ancestors. But beware: a secret not shared with others breeds fear."

The elders debated for a long time. Some wanted clarity and strength, others wisdom and caution. Finally, the wisest of the women, Ayla, spoke:

"We will not choose. Let each nation accept a portion of both gifts—that way, balance will be maintained." The gift was embodied in the world Since then, in every generation, those are born who carry a piece of the gift:

From Elian:

seers who see the future in the sun's glare;

craftsmen who create mechanisms that make work easier;

healers who use light to heal. From Morvion:

whisperers with shadows - they recognize forgotten stories and warn against mistakes;

Long ago, during the First Darkness, Mortarus appeared to the world—a sorcerer whose soul had been turned to darkness. He sought immortality and made a deal with the ancient spirits of the Abyss. In exchange for his humanity, he received great power—and his eyes became as black as the darkness itself, and his hair blackened like charred branches.

Mortarus erected Castle Black on the border between the living world and the shadow realm. From there, he sent plagues upon the lands of Elrindale:

nightmares that drove people crazy;

pestilences that killed livestock and crops;

shadows that kidnapped children during the full moon.

It was said that Mortarus' gaze could:

paralyze the will;

burn out memory;

to force even the most steadfast warrior to serve the darkness.

Kings and mages united to stop him. After seven days and nights of battle, the sorcerer was imprisoned beneath Mount Everlasting Weeping, and his castle crumbled to ashes. But before his death, Mortarus uttered a curse:

"As long as there is one who remembers my name, a piece of my darkness will find refuge in those whose hair is blacker than night and whose eyes are like the abyss. And anyone who sees them will feel the chill of the evil to come."

Consequences Since then in Elrindale:

children with black hair and eyes were baptized with a special rite of "Purification of Light" to ward off the curse;

In the villages they whispered that such people could see spirits or sense trouble;

during epidemics or crop failures they were the first to be suspected of colluding with dark forces;

wanderers with such an appearance rarely found shelter without payment or proof of good intentions;

The priests taught that black eyes and hair were not a sin, but a sign of testing that required special spiritual vigilance.

Over time, fear became superstition. Some considered it a relic, others a warning. But to this day, upon seeing a man with black eyes and hair, some involuntarily whisper a prayer of protection, while others avert their gaze—in memory of Mortarus and the era of the First Darkness.

Height and figure: tall and thin, with unnaturally straight shoulders - seems taller than he actually is.

Clothing: A long black cloak with a hood that seems to absorb light; underneath, armor made of an unknown dark metal with runes pulsating with a deep purple light. On her fingers are rings with black stones, resembling frozen darkness.

Character and personality Cold calculation: devoid of emotions, except for contempt for the “weak” and triumphant enjoyment of others’ pain.

Pride: considers himself above mortal laws and divine prohibitions. Convinced that only he is worthy of absolute power.

Cunning: a master of manipulation, able to play on the fears and desires of others.

Perseverance: ready to pursue a goal for decades, sacrificing everything and everyone.

Loneliness: He despises allies, seeing them as mere tools; because of this, he is doomed to eternal loneliness.

Abilities and magic Shadow Touch: His hand drains life force, leaving the victim weakened or paralyzed.

Curse of the Gaze: Anyone who meets his eyes feels terror and loses the will to resist.

Summon Shadows: Creates servants from clots of darkness - they carry out orders, steal memories, and instill nightmares.

Nightmare Control: Sends visions that can drive you crazy or kill you in your sleep.

Immortality (partial): Does not age, but can be sealed or weakened. His power is fueled by the fear and hatred of people.

Dark Pact: Capable of offering power in exchange for a soul; those who accept gradually lose their humanity.

The Past and the Fall Mortarus was born into a noble family of mages who explored the boundaries of life and death. From childhood, he was obsessed with the idea of ​​overcoming

His fortress stood on the border of worlds. Features:

walls of black stone that absorbs light;

halls where time flows differently;

dungeons where the souls of those who dared to oppose him languish;

the main hall with a throne of woven shadows.

Fall and Curse A united army of kings and mages besieged the castle for seven days. On the seventh day, the high priest and the most powerful mage of Elrindale used the artifact "Light of Dawn" to banish the darkness. Mortarus was sealed beneath Mount Everlasting Lament, and his castle crumbled to ashes.

Before sealing, he uttered a curse:

"As long as there is one who remembers my name, a piece of my darkness will find refuge in those whose hair is blacker than night and whose eyes are like the abyss. And anyone who sees them will feel the chill of the evil to come."
