'''Lightbearers''' or '''Risen''' are individuals capable of wielding the [[Light]].

Initially known as the Risen, these Lightbearers were scattered into various warring factions, but eventually most came to be united as [[Guardian]]s serving under the [[Vanguard]] in defense of the [[Last City]]. | '''Lightbearers''' or '''Risen''' are individuals capable of wielding the [[Light]].

With their ability to be resurrected by their Ghost8s and healed of any wounds, they are effectively immortal. However, if their Ghost is destroyed or refuses to resurrect them, then a Lightbearer will die a final death. Apparently, given their [[Paracausality|paracausal]] nature, only Human Lightbearers are also allowed to channel powers from the [[Darkness]], such as [[Stasis]] and [[Strand]]. | ||

Lightbearers of the [[Dark Age]] were viewed with wonder, awe, and fear by the Ghostless remnants of Humanity. While some banded together to protect humanity, others became [[Warlord]]s and ruled over their Ghostless subjects, posing as protectors who exploited them as laborers and soldiers. Some Warlords did seek to protect their subjects and were not cruel, such as Warlord [[Shaxx]]. Eventually many Lightbearers could no longer stand the rule of the Warlords and formed the [[Iron Lords]] under the leadership of Lord [[Radegast]].

Eventually many Lightbearers could no longer stand the rule of the Warlords and formed the [[Iron Lords]] under the leadership of Lord [[Radegast]]. The Dark ended with the majority of the Warlords either dead or submitting to the Iron Lords. The Iron Lords themselves were eventually destroyed when they attempted to harness the power of [[SIVA]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] but instead were destroyed by its defenses and malevolent nature, with only Lord [[Saladin Forge]] and Lady [[Efrideet]] surviving the destruction of the order. | ||

Eventually the Lightbearers who settled in the Last City established the [[Vanguard]], a military organization dedicated to protecting the City and all of humanity. Members of the Vanguard came to be known as Guardians. | ||
