Sienna : Arch-Mage of the Keepers
Played by - GM Fox of Spades
Sienna is the arch-mage of the Keepers and a very powerful spell caster. She is a lean woman in her late forties with dark hair and eyes a cool and icy blue. Despite being the leader of the Keepers of Light, Sienna wears dark robes with color motifs of black and red. She doesn't hesitate to embrace the darkness because according to her in darkness there is always light and in bad there is always good. She is a no-nonsense woman who values harsh justice above all else. She will not hesitate to have the murderer of an innocent hanged and always has a retort for those who act foolishly. Despite her strict demeanor she treats the Keepers as if they were her family and always thinks of what's best for them.
The Keepers respect Sienna and wouldn't dare speak behind her back. She dislikes the templars greatly but would rather avoid conflict with them. Sienna is average in terms of physical combat but could hold her own with a bow or possibly a dagger. Her true strength lies in hydrokinesis. Her familiar and her have a bond that cannot be severed and her control over the element of water is revered, almost as much as her Alteration spells. The arch-mage of the Keepers, however, would not last long in a battle of brute strength and weaponry, and would not fair well in illusion.
Even though she dislikes the sub faction known as Lucciola, she tolerates them because she believes that there is good within them, for they are the ones who bring justice to the corrupt when there is no evidence, and are the ones who do the dirty work in order to make the unrighteous fall - they are justice at any cost.
Sienna's husband died five years ago when an alteration spell gone wrong turned him to stone. It is rumored Sienna moved the stone block within her quarters and occasionally speaks with it. The only family she has left is her son and they both live in a keep with their fellow Keepers. There is a portion of the keep only Sienna and a few people are allowed to enter. That portion contains her living quarters and her study. Possibly the stone statue as well...more rumors state that the arch-mage is constantly training herself in alteration in hopes of bringing her husband back.

The Keepers of Light : Together we shall purge the land of injustice.
Even on the darkest nights we know that the sun shall rise. Without light there can be no shadow, evil rests in us all but it is up to us to quell the darkness and bring forth the light that abides within us. Even if darkness falls upon this world we will remain as keepers of light. We will fight, we will hope and we will never look back.

The Northern Province :
The Faction of light is located on the northern side of Alencia. The people there are known as Keepers and promote change and justice through the use of Magic. Majority of them serve Azurith and see the templars as narrow minded fools who cannot move on from the past. They believe the templars are scared of change and are nothing but stubborn oafs who are unwilling to believe that everything has the capacity to do good. The keepers view all form of magic as fine as long as used for justice and honor, but despise what the templars call 'hemalurgy' and call it an abomination to humanity.
The northern province is filled with lush forests and fields, the weather ranges from sunny days to chilly nights, a cool fog comes and goes as it pleases like a silent cat and a playful breeze is always at each turn. The northern province is mostly cool, the weather is favorable and travelers always see snow-capped mountains looming in the distance. It is almost never warm in the northern province unless summer is just around the corner. The cities in the northern province range from small towns to big cities defended by walls and guards. The well known sites include the ruins of a once great city called Aven and a lake as clear as crystals. It is rumored that spirits like to hang around the lake that was once an execution ground.
Initiation into The Keepers of Light :
The keepers usually recruit those they deem brave and worthy. They recruit mages they see as kindhearted yet powerful and accept them as trainees. An initiation period of six months then begins. They are tested in combat, spell casting and are sent on quests. When the six months are over they are sent on an important mission with a superior and are evaluated in real-life combat and dangerous situations. If they pass evaluation they are accepted into the keepers and treated as a real member. They will given information that was previously withheld from them and they will be allowed into strange new places unknown to the rest of the world. They will also have access to a variety of tomes within the underground library and if they are without a familiar their fellow keepers will aid them in taming one.
The keepers treat each other as family and most are insanely loyal to one another. Within the keepers is a circle of trusted fighters, which are considered the core leaders of the group. If one were to be accepted into the circle it would be a great honor and those who managed to make it into the small group received a soul gem. A rare yet useful tool in a magi's trade. Soul gems allow them to house elemental spirits and control two at the same time though that would cause extreme strain on one's mind. Then again people in the circle are more than capable at what they do...
The Keepers' main focus is to keep the northern province safe for its people. They also go about doing quests and helping people. Whether it be capturing a wanted robber or safeguarding a noble carriage on the way to a nearby country. The Keepers are people to go to if you ever need a helping hand or a place to belong because they always watch each others backs.
Tenets of the Keepers of Light :
1. Blind justice above all else - I will defend those who cannot defend themselves. I will judge with a fair fist and will not let anything influence my judgement. Good is good and bad is bad. The two cannot meld for that would be a distortion of right and wrong.
2. There is good in everything - I will look for the light even in darkness. I will not succumb to the evil in my own heart.
3. Self-sacrifice for the safety of my fellow keepers - I will take risks for the safety of my fellow keepers - my family. I will shield them in times of need and fight valiantly by their side until the bitter end. We keepers leave no one behind.
4. Courage in the face of adversity - I will fight for what is good and I will die for it as well.
5. An eye for an eye, blood for blood and a life for a life - People reap what they sow in this world.
