History of the planet:
For millions of years the intrepid planet of Merridian has be terrorizing the galaxy. There's a race that lives there that came to power back in ancient times called the Solars. The solars used to be a benevolent civilization until a hag discovered an orb of power that could corrupt even the most purest of angels. The hag was named Morgana and she saw the oppertunity to use this darm power to cause this most favored race, the Solars, to fall.
Morgana's plot worked, but not perfectly. The Solar's caught on to what she was doing and tried to stop her. They were to late though. The quickest amoung them hadn't reacher her until the last moment for she had kept herself well hidden. Just as Morgana was releasing the power contained in the orb, the Solar names Crimean destroyed her in a flame of his power. The energy from the orb was already released though, and was the first to succumb to.
A dark glow filled the entire kingdon within moments, and slowly spread through the rest of the planet, consuming the hearts of every Solar that it reached. The race was pure no more.
Although at first, their intentions were still good, the corruption grew, and after just a few generation, they were all wicked. They began to destroy and enslave everyone and held themselves superior over all races. The power they had once used for good was now used for their own pleasure. Many races died under their rule.
Today they still hold their entire galaxy under a vicious rule. They kill for fun and entertainment and destroy planets on a whim. They show no remorse. Fortunatly there is still hope. A small group of Solars that had been protected in their most holy of temples had been on the move since the corruption. they spend most of their time undermining their kind and sending aid to those that they could help. These Protectors did not have large enough numbers to fight, but their numbers did slowly grow as theur children began to show a resistance to the effects of the orb. Maybe this was an attempt by the gods to restore their race.
Since the time they were discovered, The Protectors have been seeking another orb. It is said to be encased in crystal and hidden somewhere deep in the galaxy, safe from anyone who might come seeking it. Thsi orb contains a pure energy, similar to what the Solars once had. The Protectors knew that if they could find this crystal, and release its energy, their race might be saved. They have been searching for evidance that it may be real, but still it remains a rumor, a rumor that gives their children hope.
Glimion, the young son of the leader of The Protectors, had just come to power. His father was discovered by the evil ones and killed, and now The Protectors were scattered.Glimion knew that he couldn't have come to power at a worse time, and was seeking help to reunite the Protectors, and bring focus on finding the crystal orb. He had grown up on tales of it, and he was certain it was real.
Traveling to the remaining templ, the one that had once protected his ancestors long ago from the corruption, he pleaded to the gods to lend him their aid.

Important Places:
