Introduction Comic
Isaris was a land of prosperous people but they were plagued by supernatural beasts that prey on their flesh and souls. This land was cursed by evil centuries ago by the hordes of Pravusim, demons from another world. It was then that the angels lead by Samiel came to the world and conceived a new people with the humans. These hybrids known as Nephilim formed the Mandatum Argentum Orbis, the Order of the Silver Circle and they protected the people of Isaris from the evil that to this day still torment them.
Every five years there would be a time when angels would descend to the world and infuse with human men of their choosing and then mate with human women. The resulting children would be Nephilim. This was done to rejuvenate the bloodlines of the Order and keep them free of genetic diseases from inbreeding. This orgy always took place in the spring of every fifth year but there had not been an angelic descent for over thirty years since outsiders were allowed to join the order.
The outsiders were permitted to join to bolster the numbers of the Order but in doing this the numbers of Nephilim dwindled into obscurity and slowly humans took their place as guardians. The Nephilim teachings were passed on but without the divine power of the Nephilim, the human successors paled in comparison and the Pravusim that cursed their land become a greater threat.
The power of government corrupted the humans in a short time and competing against other human groups for leadership and the Pravusim problem growing at an alarming rate, the Ducis Baliel first declared martial law to the worst centres to try and quell the violence. Eventually this state spread across much of the land and the violence this caused added to the carnage of Isaris.
However this gave the weakening opinion of the Order a stronger foot hold and the Ducis lost his competition from other groups in the land who wished to usurp the throne.
The Purification
Many more years passed and the realm was in turmoil. Ducis Baliel had evidence that Pravusim had infiltrated the common people and had them corrupted. Hundreds of exorcisms were performed but it was not enough to quell the onslaught of the demons. The Order built asylums all over the land to house the possessed. They were tortured and made confess their true being, those who could be exorcised were freed but those who could not were burned alive.
The number of those killed grew to the point that none were saved. Any who were accused and taken could only look forward to months of torture before a cruel and horrible death. Thousands of men women and children were destroyed by fire at the order of the Ducis and the people of Isaris lived in fear of their lives. The Pravusim preyed on them still as the Mandatum Argentum Orbis slowly decimated Isaris’ population with its process of purification.
Pravusim Hybrids
Rector Malius a high priest, suggested that they should take some of the possessed women and breed hybrids to restore the power that the Order had lost after the Nephilim. After much deliberation eight possessed women were selected for the unholy conception and the children were born months later, tearing apart their mothers as they came into the world.
The children were raised as the Nephilim scriptures had taught but they were inherently evil and as greater threat to humans as the Pravusim themselves were. As they tried to eliminate their mistakes four of the eight children escaped into the wild and still have not been found.
The King of Light Returns
In a small outlying coastal village the Rector Darius and his priests saw that the horrors that their own superiors were causing were not of the ways of Samiel. Darius opened forbidden scripts and performed a conjuration to the King of Light, Samiel.
Darius begged the angel to save his people from their horrific fate at the hands of his now corrupted Order. Samiel came to the priest in a dream and showed him the future. Soon there would be a divine descent and the Nephilim would once again walk the land to save the people. He warned however that if the Nephilim ranks were again to be diluted, that Isaris would be as hell and there would be none to save them.
The days ahead continued as they had before, when Pravusim were not killing and possessing people, the soldiers of the Mandatum Argentum Orbis were taking both innocents and corrupt alike to their torturous deaths. On the sixth day, there were no demons or soldiers and a feeling of peace fell over the town. That night many of the townsmen walked the streets in a daze as the angels infused with them and they took women and conceived the new generation of Nephilim.
Children of the Samiel
The Nephilim children were all born on the same day and being an outlying village and away from the central mass of the Order, the priests were able to hide the sudden baby boom from their superiors.
The parents and priests raised these children to the age of five years, successfully avoiding them being taken by the demons or soldiers. Plans were immediately laid to move the children out of harms way before their Nephilim powers manifested and were marked as demon spawn by the soldiers of the Order.
At that time Darius, four of his priests and the mothers of the children left their homes and started the arduous journey north and into the neighbouring realms.
Fifteen years had passed and in that time the children grew both in power and knowledge. They learned weapon and armour smithing from the Militus, armed and unarmed combat techniques from the Aessir warriors and wilderness survival was taught to them by the Effrenus, all the while they were taught the ways of Samiel by the priests. Now the stories of their homeland were grave. They were needed and it was time for the Nephilim to return and restore Isaris.
