Emissaries

The Emissaries were mysterious creatures from beyond the Veil who came to this world during the great upheavals caused by the Piercing. For reasons that are still mysterious, they took an interest in the welfare of humanity, and left three magic swords for the Sword Brothers to find. What their role is now remains to be revealed, though there have been hints that they may be connected to Dragons in some way.
