([b]Arcane Anomaly[/b])

For centuries the rippling energy we now call 'Anomic Light' or simply anomes, has baffled scholars and students of the Arcane. Often sighted in both the sky, and beneath flowing water, anomic light most often appears at the end of the rainy season in the [color=steelblue]Relnish Heartland[/color]. The dubious scholar, [color=steelblue]Telabar the Liar[/color] has described the appearance of Anomic Light as quote:

[center]"[i]...leftover stuff from the Gods, when they do things.[/i]" 
-[u]Comments on Weird Things That Happen[/u], [b]Rhiordan Civil Press[/b] by [i]Telabar Omsford[/i][/center]

Of course Telabar's work should be taken with a grain of salt, considering his condemnation as a liar and eventual exile from the [color=steelblue]Kingdom of Rhiordan[/color]. But it was Telabar's book, [u]Comments on...[/u] that first encouraged the Arcane community to begin researching anomic light. In the past 500 years great progress and understanding of the anomaly has occured. 

Take for instance the mad alchemist [color=steelblue]Durin al-Ifah[/color]. Some 300 years ago, Durin suggested that anomic light might be 'trapped' or 'enchanted into a piece of armor. In this way, the wearer of such vestments might better be able to defend against the devilish [color=steelblue]Jinn[/color] that plague the desert land of [color=steelblue]Calpasia[/color].

Before his untimely demise at the hands (claws?) of a demon [color=steelblue]Marid[/color], Durin al-Ifah successfuly enchanted a shield with the power of anomic light. The shield of [color=steelblue]Durin's Legacy[/color] has been lost to the ages, but various Calpasian scholars, claim to have seen the artifact. 

Anomic Light still eludes scholars and researchers to this day. It should be noted that the [color=steelblue]Church of Ignaes[/color] specifically banned the study and use of anomic light for some twenty-five years, during the reign of [color=steelblue]King Brogg the Clever[/color], claiming that [color=steelblue]Ignaes, the god of Magic[/color] had deemed the stuff 'too powerful' for mere mortals to meddle with.
