Eliora was born
into the House of Death and is a long descendant of Domino Wittenmyer. Taking after her ancestor
she is an intelligent individual with an affinity for experiments and research.
This eventually led her to become the leader of the House of Death with the idea
of her achieving much for her families.
She and her
husband Andre Drayce formed The Dominion with the same goals in mind. She wanted her
people to be liberated from the tyranny that was under the Blood King. This
idea came after she was visited by a long-forgotten deity. The deity showed her
the souls suffering at the hands of the Blood King. Hearing their screams alone
was enough for her to want to make a difference in the world.
Eliora took
up the mantle of the Spectral Knight, tapping into her lineage of soul magic
and granting her the Knightly visage. With her abilities she was able to grow
in magical strength, feeding her form and giving her the powers she required to
form her army.
She rose to
the fight and took on the King in a valiant battle with her followers. The end
came and Eliora and her husband sacrificed themselves to put an end to magic
out of fear that something like the Blood King would rise again. In doing so,
they buried themselves in a magic lacrima that halted the flow of magic itself.
Their followers continued on with the way of Dominion, destroying texts of all
kinds related to magic.
Unfortunately,
the flow of magic did not stop entirely. It continued to grow within the lands
and eventually reached Eliora’s soul. She regained consciousness and formed a
weakened caporal form outside of the lacrima. She saw that magic still was
thriving within the world despite her efforts to get rid of the flow. Knowing that
she wouldn’t be able to eliminate the leylines of magic, she sought out another
way to maintain order and control.
Rifts
continued to appear throughout the lands, and she ensured that The Dominion
were handling these as effectively as possible over the years. While acting as
the founder she decided to take action at the source and seek out those who were
once followers of the Blood King. Eliora’s fears had turned into a hunt of
members from the House of Pestilence, House of Famine, House of the Void, and House of Blood.
In doing
so, she began to search for ways to achieve immortality. She wanted to break
the lacrima stone curse she had created but knew that her body and her husbands
would begin to age the moment it would occur. She wanted to achieve immortality
so that she could oversee the order and control of magic to ensure that the ways
of the Blood King could never happen again.
Like her
ancestor The Reborn One, she wanted to control all leylines and become a God.
Having control means establishing order in her image.
In the new
era, Eliora had established a strike team of well recognized agents. She called
this team Strike Team 2 and bound their souls to her to follow her orders as
loyal soldiers. Like many others, she ordered this team to slaughter her
enemies.
She sent
the strike team when a large amount of magic was detected. A large unstable rift
was being forced open by the hands of surviving members of the House of the
Void. The Strike team was ordered to put a stop to them by any means necessary.
Once the mission was complete, the team reported two surviving enemies of the encounter
who pleaded for their lives. Eliora ordered them to return to the base where
the two would be questioned and identified.
She was
intrigued by the individuals when they learned that one of them was a young
girl who was a catalyst for a rift being opened for a long period of time. Her
mother was a member of the house of blood, a high priestess who was willing to
cooperate. Eliora saw an opportunity in front of her and was willing to allow
them to live under the watch of The Dominion. She disbanded the strike team to
station members in new locations.
Eliora
theorized that she could use Annabelle Theresea Alamante as a means to keep rifts open. Once open
she could use them to her advantage and gain authority over the void and its inhabitants.
If she is successful then she would be able to try and open other doorways into
other worlds. She ordered Annabelle and her mother Sharie Alamante to undergo Sisterhood
training. She wanted Annabelle to achieve motherhood status and obtain the book
full of spells and rituals. If she were to lose Annabelle, she would at least
have her book.
During the
time the Strike Team was taking down Thanatos Alamante, there was another
strange occurrence of magical energy that was occurring that caught Eliora’s
attention. This was the invasion of individuals from the astral plane. They had
kidnapped an individual and subjected him to experimentations. A cosmic essence
stone was placed onto his chest and the victim was recovered and placed into
hiding.
Over the years, Eliora continued to send out
her soldiers to hunt the members of the other houses while searching for the
cosmic essence stone. She started to make attempts to reform and make new houses
by finding individuals within The Dominion who could stand in for new leaders. She
banded together a group of individuals she had been watching over to tackle the
growing rifts happening within Sector 13.
