The first rumors of the
Lightbearers and their leader Shakti began to circulate within the
Province in 2065. Shakti laid a foundation for the faction’s mission
to provide healing to the populous, defend fledgling towns, and
teaching. Their moderate and helpful ways draw many to their banner
– medical personnel with their knowledge and skills, martial artists
with their warrior abilities, and spiritually minded folks that
further the Lightbearer philosophy. People dealing with mutations
caused by Shiva find guidance and training from this faction since
they are more knowledgeable about mutations than anyone.
There are some who say though that the Lightbearers are not all
light and moderation. Rumors say there is a branch of deadly
assassins within this faction ready to silence all who would oppose
their philosophy as well as a branch that believes mutants are
superior to unchanged humans. Only the Lightbearers themselves know
the truth.
The Enforcers have been allied with this faction since shortly after
their current leader, Col. Pryce, warned the Monastery that Alec
Masters’ forces were about to attack there. Since that time, Col.
Pryce and the two remaining Lightbearer Grandmasters, Kim Jurr and
Ryan Yoshi, have worked together in an attempt to restore peace and
structure to the world.
The Vistas share a desire similar to the Lightbearers to rebuild a
better world without the flaws of the old one that lead to the Fall.
They also view each other as valuable trading partners.
The Travelers and the Lightbearers find themselves at odds due to
deep philosophical differences. The CHOTA’s chaotic and rebellious
ways and the Techs’ selfishness both go against the grain of the
Lightbearer’s ideals.
