A group of characters (about 10 - 20), calling themselves the Council of Light, create a secret order and make pacts with demons to enhance their powers. They used to be ordinary mortals - humans, elves, and similar kind, but by these pacts, they received powers far beyond what is natural to them. All for a single purpose: they are not satisfied with the world, rotten, evil, ruled by the few that hold the power in their hands - kings and nobles. And they want to change this.
They will use their new powers to create a new order, unite the kingdoms, and there will be peace under their reign, even if that would mean getting the current rulers out of the way by violence. Some members of the order are only in for wealth or power, but there are others, who truly see this as a good, honorable goal to create a better world.
The order begins to contact important leaders and give them a choice - surrender and cooperate, or die. They work in secret, and the common folk hardly knows anything, but the hand of shadows steadily pushes the power as it wishes.
However, information does leak into the public, and a secret group is formed, that works to find and defeat this order. What these few are doing may have a goal that seems good, but their actions are violent and unnatural, and will do the world no good... They have to be stopped.
It is not a world war, it is not a war at all. It is a revolution...
Closer information:
Characters in the revolutionist order - the Council of Light: any mortal characters. Humans, elves, etc. - nobody too powerful and/or immortal. They come from all around the world, some are mages, some are not, and they have different reasons to join their forces and make pacts with greater powers. Some of them believe that the world needs change, others seek revenge, and there are those that only go after the money and power it would bring them. Not all of them love war and battle, and they are as different from each other as they might be, but they work together to reach one goal. To change the world and form a new one that matches their taste. They have become very powerful due to the pacts, but those changed them in many aspects - not only their physical image.
The revolutionist order, the Council of Light itself: they operate secretly and not many know their names, or that they are, in fact, an organizations, and not individuals. They correspond with leaders first through letters and messages, only later show themselves, and don't kill unless there is no other choice, preferring to use the leaders as pawns and gradually push them aside instead of getting rid of them straight away, what would cause chaos.
The anti-revolutionist group: also working secretly, another group of characters has formed, meaning to uncover and defeat the order, seeing its actions as wrong and mistaken. They have to hide from the world and live a double life chasing the order, but they believe that if they will strive and work hard, they might be able to outsmart the order and catch its members - and show the important leaders of kingdoms that this is no coincidence, but an organized revolution. They also come from all the corners of the world, and from all different backgrounds, but their intentions have also a sole goal - to defend the world from the darkness the so-called 'revolution' would bring.
Time period and circumstances: the revolutionist order is formed at the end of the Connlaothian civil war, but only begins to interfere with the order of the world several years later. They hardly affect the common people, and the public hardly knows of them. However, the powers they possess allow them to threaten and manipulate important leaders. No cities are demolished, nothing significant is seen, and the whole activity is hidden very well, except to some that notice that something is changing. The revolutionist order is enforcing the leaders to act upon their own wills, otherwise the revolutionists will kill them - or make their lands suffer.
Joining requirements for:
The Revolutionist order, the Council of Light: No gods, no demons, no immortals, and no characters that are overpowered or impossible to kill. Humans and humanoids are, however, very welcome! Characters with a great desire to change the system, which they are not satisfied with, should only apply. They don't have to be warriors, scholars, mages, and there is practically no requirement regarding their ethnicity. Since the Council concerns all of Le'raana, anyone with revolutionist views is welcome. They are willing the change world for good... But beware: anyone willing to step out of the order would be killed. In order to keep this secret, any witnesses not bound to the order will be eliminated, if possible.
Also, they must be willing to make a pact with a demon to enhance their powers greatly, but it would also affect their physical appearance. Not in a great scale, but it would be visible.
About 10 - 20 places are free in the Council.
The anti-revolutionist group: the restrictions are very little. This group would ally with all kinds of people, willing to fight the Council, and work secretly. Again, all kinds of races can be involved (but with same anti-OP restrictions as Council, except for the rule of immortality), all ethnicities, etc.
Please, IM me with questions and character suggestions before you actually post a reply with character that would be interested in joining any of the groups.
