Guild of Writers

History of the Temple

The Temple of Illumination, like all known temples in D'ni, exists along the Great Zero line, set into one of the outer cavern walls it over looks the lake as well as Ae'gura itself. The temple was a sacred place to a secret organization that called themselves the "Writers of Illumination". Though not all writers, these D'ni were all guildsmen from a wide array of guilds in the D'ni system. Some members even holding high ranking offices in their respective guilds. The group met in secret to practice, and to teach, principles that their respective guilds had outlawed concerning the Art. The Writers of Illumination believed that as long as the Guilds taught what they considered superstitious dogma as pious fact, progress in the Art would cease. Thus the Writers of Illumination, settled in the Temple of Illumination, with a view overlooking the D'ni capital and the home of the Guilds that, while they were members of, they secretly worked to undermine. It is not yet known what became of the Writers of Illumination preceding, nor following, the fall of D'ni.
