Twilight's Emissary (4e Paragon Path)

Twilight's Emissary

“	Among those living in the light, interlopers who excelled at magic appeared. Wielding powerful sorcery, they tried to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm.	”
—Lanayru, Elf Historian, History of the Sacred Realm, Book XIII: The Twilight

Prerequisite: Twili

Long ago, when the land was in turmoil and gods walked the earth, a group of powerful sorcerers rose up. The sorcerers, known as the Dark Interlopers, tried to use ancient and forbidden dark magic to seize the gods' power and become omniscient beings. Their plan failed, and they were banished to the wasteland plane of the Twilight Realm. The Interlopers sworn revenge on the gods, and so did their descendants, the Twili.

Now, you are here in the world of light, a Twili who journeys throughout the land, defeating evil and finding magnificent treasures. You are the embodiment of Twilight in the world of light- the fear of the dark, the depression of dusk, the revels of the night. You are far from the wrathful, destructive people the Dark Interlopers were. Yet you still feel the urge, the inner need to destroy the light and reduce the world into twilight. But at the same time, you want to explore, to know, to achieve more knowledge than your ancestors did.

Soon after you adopt this path, your mind begins to refill with the forbidden knowledge the Interlopers locked in your blood so long ago, and with it, so do their powers. You begin to remember the complicated spells and techniques the Interlopers used to try and defeat the gods. Now you stand before a choice; should you try where the Interlopers failed and use this new knowledge, together with the information and skills you have developed on your adventures, to claim more power; or maybe you will use these forbidden techniques to become a hero, the likes of which have never been seen in the world of light before?
