Prosjekt nordlys (Project Northern Light)

„The magnitude of our creation... it defies all comprehension. We have no idea what horrors have we inadvertently brought forth?, we have opened a box which can't be closed and unleashed something we shouldn't have"

-Elias Kylenor in his Notes 1872

The Northern light project was a research and development undertaking during the Third Sargonic war that produced a weapon the likes of which the world had never seen before. The project was lead by the Empire of Northland and its Military science division and was supported by resources and scientists from the 2nd Runick Empire. The Project's science Director was Theoretical Magical scientist Dr. Rüdiger Hakvindor and was supported by Kelvine Faralley. The Project aimed at creating a feasible weapon against Phantoms since Sargon was using Phantoms for his army.

## Development

The Development was started by Oscar III who drew up gross blueprints of the magical effects for the weapon which he would pass on to a selected group of scientists, engineers and Parapsychologists most important of these being Dr. Rüdiger Hakvindor and Kelvine Faralley. The development process was a highly kept secret and clasified for anyone with a Security clearance level lower as 4 out of 5. The development was guarded by Norret and Kosikby in order to maintain the secrecy of the operation. Between 1871 and 1874 PBS there was a hunt for golem cores which resulted in the obtainment of 3 artificial golem cores that were made by Sargonic loyalists and Munzigians trying to get the same golems as sargon did. Construction officially began in 1873 PBS after the first core was found by the Phantom Battalion. Test Zøkrad (the first test) was authorized in late December 1878 and was successful.

## The six cores

Six cores were made one of which was the one used in test Zøkrad below is a list of every weapon.

* Whispering Gales (used on the first Soul Legion)
* Spectral Chuckler (Used on the Second Soul Legion)
* Mirthful Mirage (Used on the Third Soul Legion)
* Phantasmic Prankster (In Storage)
* Giggling Ephemera (In storage)
* Zøkrad (Used in Test Zøkrad

## The Bomb

The weapon depends on an overflow soul and essence powers. To build it the scientist had to find a vast storage of souls which came to them in the form of the Golem cores Sargon had build hundreds of years prior. Some of these golem cores had been captured by the Northic military during the Second Sargonic war though they had been stolen by Sargon upon his return in order to build an army. When physical war broke out however the Northic armies were able to capture three separate Golem cores before they were turned into Phantoms and shipped them to Northic Raphara.

## Test Zøkrad

Right after the explosion Hakvindor could be heard uttering the words "What have we done" in response to the unexpected magnitude of the explosion which could be felt up to 70 kilometers away. People present at the tests described the sound the shockwave emitted as a "Screaming sound" while also saying they felt cold and nauseous right after the explosion. At first they were thought to be crazy but scientists and Parapsychologists later discovered their claims to be true and the result of the Souls and essence escaping the device.

## Usage

The Project was used 3 times at the end of the Sargonic war to destroy the soul legions which resulted in 75,000 casualties.

## Curtain of Secrecy

All Scientists and personell present were threatened by death if they told anyone of the Bombs and Anthony was never told the true nature of the Project the only thing he was told is that it was going to be something that would save his country and end the war while Kelvine was forced to give up his rights to speak of the project when signing the document which granted him permission to work on the project. The Existance of the bombs are still secret to the general public as if today.
