Born out of the darkest depths of the world came Narko, the Shadow.

She sought to erase all that is good, if not for our saviour Okran. Both battled for millenia in the skies until light overcame dark. Narko was restrained, absorbed into the Lord Okran's being. But, alas, Narko The Deceiver's defeat was not the end. While both fought their war in the skies, split in two once again, Narko's spawns were ravaging our world, created out of hate and malice. Against mankind, her Dark Agents were hurled.

–Scripture of Radiance Vol. I, Holy Lord Phoenix I

History of Narko[]

Narko, a deity described as the demoness of darkness. She is the dark counterpart to Okran said to be cast out into the underworld. It is written within the holy scriptures that Narko exists in a place without light, and that she uses her darkness to corrupt and bribe the souls of mortals into sin and heresy.

This ancient doctrine of belief is one of the primary reasons women are oppressed within Holy Nation society, as Narko was regarded as female and evil.

Man was created in the human image of Okran, Lord Of Light;

Woman was created in the image of Narko, Demoness of Darkness. Seek caution, children of Okran! An impure race is an unholy one; They must be rebirthed to serve the cause of Okran, lest they join the cause of darkness. An unrestrained woman is an idle one; She must be subdued, lest she seduce and tempt the purity of man into the darkness with her.

–Scripture of Radiance Vol. III, Holy Lord Phoenix I

Other non-human races are treated with disdain and usually enslaved or slain in the name of Okran. The Holy Nation particularly hates the skeleton race, they regard them as dark agents of Narko.

The most notable point of their teachings is that of the enemy: The demon 'Narko' and her skeletons. Was Narko in fact the leader of the skeletons and Okran an ancient human who managed to save the few remaining survivors from destruction in a battle between the two sides?
