"We illuminate the fog of war and provide clarity towards the battlefield. That all life is valid and should be protected at the highest costs. Be the Light {Se La Luz}"

~Lorian Malva: Founder of the Lamp Lighters~


Sometimes, strength and inspiration come from the most unlikely source. Lorian Malva was resting when her father awoke her. Her village has become a battleground between the Oratho and the Elves. Running out of her home, she witnessed the indiscriminate carnage that had befallen her neighbors. Stunned, she collapsed and watched as the Oratho and Elven army burned her life around her. Finally, she regained focus; her eyes caught the attempt of a dog trying to wake up its unconscious owner; after tugging on them for what seemed to be hours, the dog was struck by a random blast. A purple mist surrounds them, and the pup falls. Her body reacts. She runs to the pup and starts casting majik upon them, muttering prayers in all languages. The pup awakens, weak and weary; it is the owner's turn. Her hands tremble as majik, arrows, sword, and blood hovers around her. With a heavy heart, her hands began to glow a pale green, and within minutes, the person's eyes began to flutter. They let out a deep cough and tried to stand. Several frost bolts transform the ground behind them into a sheet of ice. They quickly crawl over the icy ground into a shelter and hunker down as the war rages on.


Lorian looks through the door and sees an Oratho soldier pinned with a large spear through his leg. Her body reacts again. She runs out and helps him pull the spear from his leg. Once released, she begins casting majik on his leg. An elven soldier takes an arrow to the chest next to them. As soon as the Oratho's leg is healed, he moves to strike down the elf. Lorian jumps in front of the elf, which causes the Oratho soldier to stop. She turns and begins healing the elf. She continues to heal fallen soldiers until she passes out. Her last image on the battlefield was someone healing her. She awoke to find many random people rushing the field and healing indiscriminately. Once the battle had ended, only four of them and the pup were left. They then took a vowel to save as many lives as possible on the battlefield. All creatures deserve life. They began a movement of traveling medics during the war between the Elves, Oratho, and Krevin. They would heal anyone regardless of race and call themselves the Lamp Lighters; she had volunteers of every race helping her mend and heal soldiers during the war. She became so well known that the soldiers would order a cease-fire whenever a scout saw her caravan to let her and her fellow Lamp Lighters work.


The Lamp Lighters society still travels worldwide, from village to town, healing whoever needs it. Some are hired to be attached to an adventures party others stay in a town that needs their attention. And although their founder Lorian Molva has passed away, the Lamp Lighters still shine bright throughout the dark corners of Aalam. Be the light {Se La Luz}
