Long ago, the Malignants nearly wiped out civilization. The Liberator rose with the power of Luminescence, fought a brutal war, and carved out Eudora: humanity''''s final sanctuary. He gave his life to seal the Malignants away, creating a barrier that has protected humanity ever since. However, that barrier is weakening. Malignant attacks are growing stronger and more frequent each year. Drawing on the Liberator''''s power, humanity founded the Luminary Order — an organization dedicated to training fighters and holding the line against the Malignants.

When he gets an offer to leave his town to become a Luminary, he takes it.
