In the year 957, a group of self taught, highly skilled marksmen and women founded a group of assassins known only as The Illumination, the group and it’s members were influential in many affairs across the world, initiating wars, dethroning Kings and Queens to keep peace in the land and preventing atrocities from spreading far and wide.

In 1115 the illumination faced a new enemy from within, high ranking assassins sought to use their power and influence for their own greed, purposefully destabilising regions to gain favour and to be used for higher prices to return order. Such was their notoriety that they were the only people capable of returning order but they were also the only people with the ability to destroy it.

In the year 1202, the Illumination’s purpose and ethos had changed, they were mercenaries, hired killers and trained in the very best techniques, travelling across the world to learn new abilities and trained to use them in some of the most devastating ways.

Over the years and through rapidly changing technologies The Illumination went through various changes, disbandment’s and now in the year 1506 they have again begun to gain credibility, helping the weak, financed by the few nobility and leaders intent on making a positive difference to the world but due to their chequered past have made many enemies.
