Korasha Nothrak

Korasha Nothrak was a secret order from Sereena. It was formed as a rebelforce to overthrow the reign of Ul'theim Novarak, but after being driven underground it's foundations of freedom crumbled.

Lud'ein Saa
During the Ancient War, when Ul'theim Novarak seized control of Sereena during the First Era, a few hundred of the surviving elven warriors formed a rebelforce named Lud'ein Saa with a goal to give the power back to the inhabitants of Sereena.

Eerandor, former prince of Sereena, became leader of the order; and the force sought refugee in old ruins to the north. But the orders location was betrayed by one of the captains, and most of the forces were slaughtered.

The few survivors had found tunnels leading down, far below the ruins. With Eerandor in the lead, they created a civilization for themselves, and explored the vast underground for ways to defeat the great danger above.

The survivors went to deep down, and the rest of the population did not know they were still alive. When Sereena eventually was freed, the Lud'ein Saa kept searching for ways to defeat an enemy that no longer existed. They had become the Forgotten Darkness, Korasha Nothrak.

The Power of Ree'shan
Eerandor and his followers discovered that the ruins they were inside was actually remnants of the first elven kingdom, Ree'shan. They came upon the tomb of the first king, Nihi'Zakun. Eerandor told his followers he had heard the voices of the ancients, and guided them inside the tomb, opening the grave of the king. When Eerandor wielded the kings staff, he was transformed into a Lich, a creature which could live forever.

Organization
Members of the order wear the typical insigna, the snake and the sword. Some bandits and ruffians use the mark to seem more dangerous than they are, pretending to be a member of the order. The mark can be anything from a tattoo, to a necklace or ring.
