History
In the year 732 CE, Lumina Noire was created by a renowned wizard named Emeric the Eldritch. Emeric, a master of arcane arts and mystical creation, crafted Lumina and her sisters as part of his personal guard. Their initial role was to serve Emeric in various capacities, employing their magical abilities for his protection and carrying out his commands. During their service, Lumina and her sisters functioned as guardians, advisers, and enforcers of Emeric's will. They were central to maintaining his power, assisting in his magical endeavors, and protecting his domain.
Upon Emeric's death in the late 8th century, he bestowed a final, transformative gift upon Lumina and her sisters: sentience. This act, an expression of gratitude for their years of service, transformed them from magical constructs into beings with free will, emotions, and personal consciousness. Embracing their newfound autonomy, Lumina and her sisters ventured into the world. They offered their services as bodyguards, messengers, and assassins, capitalizing on their unique abilities to adapt to various roles. They gained a reputation for efficiency, discretion, and extraordinary capability.
As time progressed, each sister developed her own path, forging individual identities and destinies. Lumina, with her strategic acumen and protective instincts, gravitated toward roles that utilized her strengths as a guardian and tactician. Over the centuries, Lumina adapted to the evolving world, enhancing her skills and gaining a deep understanding of different cultures and historical eras. She witnessed the rise and fall of empires and participated in key historical events while maintaining her core ethos of loyalty and protection.
