Levenon are rare gems containing an immense elemental power. The most common Levenon are those of the elements water, fire, earth, and air. However, others, rarer by nature and just as powerful were of the elements metal and lightning. Rarer still, were the light and darkness Levenon, considered mere myths by most and heavily guarded secrets kept by others. The Levenon are the only source of extraordinary power in the Demonic Plane, and their wielders are the only individuals with elemental powers in the Plane. Their history, as well as the history of the Great War, are intertwined, and it is for that reason that the Levenon are now hidden and scattered throughout the Demonic Plane.
Long ago, Levenon were kept only by noble families as a sign of their wealth and power in times of peace. Some families had multiple of the hard to come by stones, and others had just one. In these times of peace, nobles with many stones were content in commanding those families with lesser stones what to do. The more powerful families used the weaker ones as servants and go-fors, much to the displeasure of the lesser families.
This peace shattered soon after the more powerful noble families began abusing their power. Rising up, the lesser nobles began assassinating the families that were controlling them. Soon after, a full blown war broke out between the nobles, and everyone suffered because of it. The Demonic Plane's land was ravaged by the Levenons' power; most of it peasant farm land. Starving peasants then too, began revolting; using the cover of night to also assassinate whatever noble family was nearest to them. As the war spread, starvation and poverty followed close behind; sending the land into chaos.
For three generations the Great War lasted, until one male from a lesser noble family that had disappeared for thirty years resurfaced; carrying in his possession two legends. Using both the light and darkness Levenon, he beat down all the warring forces with his own small army. Establishing his authority, the man named himself the Shadow King, for his mastery of all things light or the absence there of. Although vicious in his rising to royalty, the Shadow King worked most of his life to restore the land.
In old age, the Shadow King, began losing his mind. This process was quickened by the powers of his Levenon, that soon took control of his body and began to once again ravage the lands that the man had worked so hard to rebuild. However, the other users of the Levenon had been prepared in their unity and summoned their best warriors and mages to confront the Shadow King. The battle was long and intense, but the Shadow King was then sealed away into an item called the Sulkenbe.
The Sulkenbe's current whereabouts are a well kept secret kept by the High Council's eldest member.
