## Contents:

### The History of The Eleusinian:

#### Lady Persephone:

The first Eleusinian was Lady Persephone wife to King Minus.
 Lady Persephone was very beautiful, intelligent and captivating. After
Persephone and Minus were married the two became very influential in
Pneumanor, but also made enemies. They bore a daughter named Selphie and
 when she was still a young girl was kidnapped and murder. Minus and
Persephone were heart broken and sought justice for this terrible crime.
 They were able to track down the perpetrators and trace them to a
larger plot led by a demon lord. The two were able to raise up an army
from most of the different races of Pneumanor. Together they overthrew
the demon lord and the people made Minus their first King of all
Pneumanor with Persephone becoming the spiritual leader known as The
Eleusinian.

#### The Oath:

“With solemn heart and measured word,

I uphold the Iron Chains of Law and the Scales of Justice,

With hands tempered by Mercy and Grace,

In Defense of my People and Country

In preservation of Balance and Order.

This I swear, in Pneumanor's name.”

#### The Eleusinian's Guardians:

Guardians are the only individuals allowed to accompany a Eleusinian into a Chamber of Eleusis.

The concept of a Eleusinian's guardian is based on the first
Eleusinian to defeat Thanatos, Lady Persephone, who was protected by her
 husband, Minus Dardanus. After the formation of The Order, Eleusinians
being protected by a guardian as per Persephone and Minus' example was
adopted as doctrine. The Eleusinian may have more then one Guardian at
time and often have at least three.

Another duty of the guardian is to offer themselves as Law
Enforces in the land. They are considered an extension of the
Eleusinian's will.

### The History of The Seven Orbs of Judros:

There are tales of seven orbs said to harness the purest essence
of each color of magic. It is also said that if one person can control all
seven they would be able to wield unlimited power.

**Judros** was a seer
and seeker of truth. Judros studied all seven forms of magic with a colleague named
Umbra who was a powerful sorcerer. The two are often linked to the seven magic
stones and in some tales the creators of the orbs themselves.
There was a great falling out between Judros and Umbra as
the sorcerer sought the darker side of magic. Umbra has written a number of books that delve deep into the darkest aspects of magic.
