Shining Blade



The Shining Blade are a group of rebels who oppose the White Mantle's rule over Kryta. While some in Kryta are grateful that the White Mantle rescued their kingdom from the Charr and others are ambivalent about who is in power or which gods to worship, the Shining Blade know much about the true motives and intentions of the White Mantle.

The Shining Blade make their bases in the Maguuma Jungle east of Kryta. They know the jungle extremely well and can traverse it fairly easily. This had always given them shelter against the retalliations of the White Mantle. Their primary activities against Mantle were the occassional raid on the caravans leading the Chosen to Bloodstone Fen.

The Shining Blade are led by Evennia and are governed by the Inner Council. Other members on the council include Saidra and Markis.

When the players join the Shining Blade against the Mantle two major events unfold:
 * The Shining Blade become bolder, they establish a base in the Henge of Denravi and attempt to go on the offensive against the Mantle. Evennia forms a pact with Vizier Khilbron to help them defeat the Mantle.
 * The White Mantle become a lot more serious about eliminating the Shining Blade. After allowing them to be a minor nuissance, the Mantle do an all out assault and chase the Blade through the jungle and to the very edges of Kryta.
