Editing Nobilis Enlightened (section)

= The Famiglia of the Enlightened =

The Famiglia of the Enlightened ''were'' a highly respected and influential group about 4-5 centuries before, their power extending from the very birth of creation. However, in a highly unorthodox move around the 4002 A.P., the Council ordered the Shepherdess to provide additional support in the Valde Bellum proper, above and beyond her maintenance of the Weirding Wall. Seeing as the Wall already consumed most if not all her power and attention, she was forced to mobilize members of her Famiglia, something quite unprecedented. The Nobles of Maricarum, Aether and Endeon were the first to volunteer for the great undertaking, having attained near-Imperator-level powers at the time. A few centuries later, Vaveram, Astelumina, Chivalry, Courage and Alchemy too joined their brother and sisters in the direct defense of creation. They held the line for a good few centuries, seeing a slow but definite turnover in nobles. That was until, for reasons still unknown, Maricarum, Aether, Endeon, Vaveram and Astelumina were excruciated one by one. The last to fall were Endeon and Astelumina in 4895 AP, at the same time 500 years of Human History was erased. 

With no time to mourn, the Famiglia of the Enlightened were forced to mobilize more members of their famiglia to the front lines. The following few years saw more of their Nobles killed, though thankfully not excruciated. 

Now with few remaining senior members, the famiglia struggles to stay on its feet with the large influx of new family members. Will they be able to live up to their predecessors? Will they be able to return the family to its former glory and take it to new heights? Or will this be the end of the Enlightened? That is up to the new Famiglia.

== NPC Nobles of the Enlightened ==

''The Vanguard of the Enlightened''

'''Regine - Inquesta of Loyalty'''



'''Jessie - Tempesta of Courage (Sort of veering towards Impetuous Juvenile Recklessness)'''

'''Illumina - AllMother of Alchemy'''

Novice Alchemist extraordinaire and (rather unwilling) Commander of the Alchemist Flameheart Squad, Illumina is yet another recent addition to the Famiglia. She's currently worried about the sorry state of her estate (mostly usurped by Chemistry and now reduced to nothing more than a fantasy fiction gimmick) and a missing prominent Alchemist amongst other things....but mainly by the prospect of responsibility in general.

She is widely known, even outside Alchemist circles, as 'Big Bang Lum'.


'''Elune - Principissa of the Stars'''

While relatively senior in the Famiglia of the Enlightened (by simple virtue of everyone else being very recent additions), that's as far as her seniority goes. In every other respect, she is mostly helpless, though the more understanding dismiss this as a reflection of her estate - stars aren't known to be do much other than be pretty, especially lately with modern technology supplanting the need for stellar navigation or calendar-keeping. It used to be so much different when her sister, the Noble of Astelumina, the power of stellar influence upon the workings of the universe and lives on earth, was still around. Now as the stars fade and people forget the stars, Elune lies ill, slowly fading herself. 

''The Diplomatic Corp (Intelligence) of the Enlightened''

'''Rang Fan - Excelifficer of Logic'''

Born a humble villager in a Tibetan highland settlement, Rang Fan grew up completely illiterate. She was, however, a keen observer and deep thinker. She developed her own concise and strict principles of logic, one that often found fault in the traditionalist views of the people she lived amongst. Some saw her as a source of wisdom, some saw her as a demon-possessed child. 

She became the favourite anchor of the previous Noble of Logic for a while. During this time, her mastery of logic developed brilliantly. Unfortunately, she came afoul of a Chinese official when she publicly defeated him in a debate regarding the accusation of rebellion on the part of the village.

'''Geronimo - High Chief of Sacrifice'''

'''Han Gua - Exarch of Honour'''

'''Jimmy - Arch-Provost of Curiosity'''

''The Unassigned of the Enlightened''

'''Justice(?) - Empress of Justice'''

Not much is known about Justice, the 1st Noble of Justice. She is the eldest of the current Famiglia, though in the time of the original Famiglia, she was the youngest. She is the last surviving member of the original Famiglia of the Enlightened. It is rumoured that she was an Angel before she joined the Enlightened, though whether or not this is true is unknown. Her real name is unknown. Nobody has seen her in a long, long while. The only members of the current famiglia who have seen her are Han Gua and Elune.

Currently absent. Whereabouts unknown.

'''Vie - Noble of Hope'''

A rather mysterious member of the famiglia, she wonders in and out of the chancel rather randomly. Nobody seems to remember when she joined the Family. In fact, some are surprised to hear that there IS a noble of Hope in the Family. She doesn't seem to have a permanent home in the chancel. She's known (at least to those few who know her) to wander about, never staying in one place for long. She is apparently summonable, but rumours have it that she's apparently rather useless. 

There are strange rumours that she follows the code of the Dark, or even Hell. Why would Hope do that?


'''Thomas Eire - Keeper of Karma'''

'''Kaguya - Himegami of the Moon'''

Tsukishiro no Kaguya-hime is perhaps the second eldest of the Famiglia, though she takes great care not to let anyone know that. She is the second Noble of the Moon. There are rumours that she was behind the Apollo 13 failure. When asked about it, she would give you a disdainful look and walk away. Then again, she'd do that no matter what you tried to bring up with her. 

Currently very, very vain.

'''Kimo - the Emperor of the Sun'''
