[edit] History of Harmony

[edit] The Beginning

Harmony was originally created by Lady Syreal. In the early days it was dedicated to maintaining the balance between order and chaos and good and evil. But with time, darkness began to grip the realm. Syreal charged her followers to maintain the balance each of them had found within themselves and let the balance right itself in time. Alas, the force of darkness spread and grew more powerful.

Soon, she was aided by Shaithus, a pure Paladin. He was not content to wait and hope the balance righted itself. He saw injustice in the world and sought to fix it. But because of his love and faith in Syreal, he faithfully followed her and obeyed her every command.

The evil Snake God Thakissis once again wanted dominion in the mortal realm. He stole into Syreal's meditation chambers while she slept, with foul magics, reft her soul from her body. Sorely was she wounded, but she maintained enough strength to call on her faithful follower Shaithus. She charged him with recovering her soul and returning it to her before she perished.

Shaithus tracked down Thakissis and a mighty struggle ensued. He returned to Syreal bearing the Soul Crystal which housed her soul. She was alas, weakened and in a council of the Elder Gods, resigned her position as Deity of Harmony, asking that Shaithus be raised up among the gods to take her place. And thus, he became Deity of Harmony.

[edit] Truth, Honor, Justice

Shortly thereafter, still grieving from the loss of his beloved mentor, Shaithus discarded the tradition of waiting for the balance. He decided it was time to help it along. Taking up his sword, the Paladin's Justice, he called the temple leaders to a meeting. It was decided that no being will ever suffer the injustices of evil as Syreal had without suffering the wrath of Lord Shaithus and his followers. It was on this day declared that the virtues of Harmony would rest on the Truth, Honor and Justice of those that reside within the Crystal Temple of Harmony.

Long did Shaithus serve as deity of Harmony with his only companions being his mortal followers, and his faithful sword, The Paladin's Justice. He not only longed for the understanding and companionship that could only come from another immortal, but felt that it was his duty to pass on all that Lady Syreal had taught him. One day a bright white light bathed the land. A beautiful angel, bathed in light, appeared before Shaithus. She curtseyed gracefully and introduced herself as Gwynn De'Havlan, Guardian Angel of Harmony. Gwynn told him that it was his prayers that brought her into existence, her only purpose being to serve him and the virtues of Harmony. It was from that day forward that Gwynn had served the Crystal temple with undying devotion and love. And with time, she too rose to lead it as its Deity.

For many, the rule of Gwynn marked a Golden Age of Harmony, and to many people, of the entire realm. She ruled with kindness, justice and mercy.

[edit] Later History

Lord Tronal was the Leader of Harmony for many years. The world was relatively at peace with itself in those days, but the realms the clans bickered less, but were ripped apart by a series of external invasions that came to be known as the Ogre and the Demon Wars. A single exception to the internal peace was the incident of the child Penny.

Tyle, a member of Clan Harmony, had married Tika, a member of the Clan Hand of Darkness. It is not surprising that such a marriage would cause complications, and such it did. When their child, Penny, was born, Natatia, the Goddess of Misanthropy at the time, immediately took the child to be sacrificed.

The Ravens and Harmony joined forces to aid the couple, and took battle to Lloth's Revenge, Natatia's Domain. Near the end of the battle, Undine managed to rescue the child and escape, but not before Natatia did battle with Traewyn. In the end, Natatia defeated Traewyn and proceeded to ruin the Crystal Temple of Harmony. During that time, the Circle of Fire offered Harmony to stay with them until a new home could be found. And so it did for years.

By this time Tronal had left our land and Elradu had taken the place as its Mortal Leader or Praetor. After residing with the Circle for awhile, rumors were heard that Traewyn had risen from death. The rumors were soon found out to be true, and he rose a great castle from the Sea. He then called to the members of Harmony, and brought them to the floating temple which became their home. Traewyn had also risen to the status of Omniscient, after seeing the founder of Harmony, Syreal. Not long after, Elradu's time here began to come to an end, and as such, she gave the position of Praetor to Draven, and when he also began to visit more rarely and rarely, the position passed to Cerethon, where it stands to this day.

[edit] Ideals

We are the protectors of the weak, guided by our hearts and the virtues of Truth, Honor and Justice. Our goal is to end all suffering in the realm, and each member acts as a guardian to those that cannot defend themselves against the evil that rages in the land.

Harmony is also well known for being a clan of kindness and goodness and prefers to maintain a small close-knit family.
