of Twilight Monk…

The Ancients

Long ago, the ancient Monks of the Twilight (aka "The Ancients") were fierce warriors whose sole purpose was to maintain the balance between chaos and order in Speria.

Failing to sustain the balance, over time, the world had been consumed in a Storm of Shadows. In order to preserve the world of the living, the Monks of Twilight had to make the ultimate sacrifice. They’d seal themselves, along with a great planetary force within the pillar in the Twilight Realm.

Darksprites

Darksprites are beasts from a dark, alternate realm.

It's said that every Moonken possesses the ability to turn to a Darksprite form when possessed by feelings of lust, jealousy, or other negative feelings. It is unknown whether they have the ability to turn back...

The Triskelion Rings

The Rings of Triskelion are ancient and powerful artifacts representing balance and the cyclical nature of the universe.

Collecting all three is said to be the necessary key to accessing the Twilight Realm.
Raz must scour the world to find the rings before Nox releases the World Eater.

The Phantom Pillar

A powerful and ancient artifact that contains the spirits of the Ancients along with the tremndous, threatening power they sealed away.

As a weapon, it has a versatile array of uses as it can be launched for strong, blunt force, or placed as a sturdy shield from incoming attacks.

The Moonken

A mysterious race of beings who are "born" from shooting stars landing onto the earth.

When a Moonken is born, they are immediately taken to the monastery at Crescent Isle so they may begin learning to control their powers.

Some fear the Moonken due to their dark potential. Raziel and his friends Nora and Rin are all of the Moonken race.
