Highborn

The Highborn are a rulership class of The Lightless realm. By accounts from Ascheron, there are a total of 4 of them (Ascheron; Lilith and Rubedo, Morvant; and Athenodora).

Each seems to be limited to a single focus, and are all presumably 9th sphere with matching arts. As a whole, these individuals have displayed a level of confidence and arrogance usually seen only among our most powerful residents. It is suggested that any civil interactions with them be handled with your best manners.

Despite being told that all the residents of The Lightless hate the citizens of Underlight out of the belief that the clash was a deliberate effort on our part. My interactions with the Lowborn and Highborn however, indicate that this attitude is primarily held and reinforced by the Highborn themselves.

The Lowborn, though cautious of us, have displayed little to none of the mannerisms I would expect to see from such reported hatred. While Rubedo and Lilith Morvant in particular, hold our residents in obvious contempt.

Ascheron

One of the 4 "Highborn" of the Lightless, the remains of the city that once stood where the merged Lyran and Idoaclesian cities stand now. His chief servitor is a Lowborn named Argul. Lord Ascheron (Self affected title) holds to the trappings of noble manner and bearing, and is known to be somewhat of a manipulator. The Soulmaster of the Highborn, he is known to use arts such as Vampiric Draw to get more out of Dreamer Essences than is otherwise possible for the other High and Lowborn.

9th Sphere Soulmaster, Highborn

Athenodora

The most gentle natured of the Highborn, and seemingly the only one who truly cares about the fate of the Lowborn for their own sake. Believed to be a Gatekeeper by focus, she also seems to be one of the most knowledgeable about the history and lore of the Lightless. One of lowborn known to serve her is Olga.

9th Sphere Gatekeeper?, Highborn

Lilith Morvant

Little is known of this Highborn, though it seems she is either Wife or Sister (Both perhaps?) of Rubedo Morvant... the Fatesender Highborn. She is known to be one of the Lightless residents that holds the Dreamers of Underlight responsible for the fall of the city that became the Lightless. It is unknown which Lowborn serve Lilith.

9th Sphere Dreamseer?, Highborn

Rubedo Morvant

Rubedo is a Highborn of apparent arrogance, either the husband or brother of Lilith Morvant. Rubedo seems to be the main fighter of the HIghborn, and has demonstrated arts in the 90 plateau range despite his Judged Sphere of 5th. He bears an artifact cloak that allows him to hide himself, and appears to shroud his true power level from detection. His only known Lowborn servitor is Idjut, who he apparently holds in deep disdain, only keeping him as a servitor due to Idjuts saving of his life during the catastrophe (Accidentally. Idjut apparently forgot to tell Rubedo where one of his traps was, and it tripped Rubedo to the ground, incidentally preventing him from being crushed during the collapse of the city that became the Lightless).
