Creator's Choice: Jinos Raufendarken, Sage of Light and Darkness

Deep within the snow-dusted hills of Bavaria stands Weisenburg Palace, a fortress of timeless grandeur that conceals Germany’s most classified secret — a subterranean stronghold of technology and wisdom known only to those who walk between the worlds of science and spirit. Its master is a man both feared and revered: Jinos Raufendarken, the Sage of Light and Darkness, last heir of an ancient lineage long thought lost to myth.

The Bloodline of the Great Sage Order

Centuries ago, before the rise of nations, there existed an elite brotherhood known as the Great Sage Order — keepers of balance between illumination and shadow, guardians of knowledge that bridged divine power and human reason. When the Order fractured during the Ecliptic Wars, most of its wisdom was scattered across Europe, hidden in encrypted manuscripts and relics of impossible design.

One branch of the Order fled north, disguising their sanctum beneath the marble foundations of what would later become Weisenburg Palace. Over generations, their descendants lived in secrecy, interweaving arcane philosophy with the scientific revolutions that reshaped the world. From that lineage was born Jinos Raufendarken, a prodigy destined to reunite what his ancestors had divided.

Now, as Lord of Weisenburg, Jinos is both scientist and sorcerer — a man whose authority extends across dimensions. His bald head and calm, symmetrical features give him the serenity of a monk, but his presence radiates immense power. Beneath the palace’s mirrored halls, he commands an elite corps known as the Ecliptics, soldiers enhanced with photonic armor and bound by the oaths of the ancient Order.

To the world above, Weisenburg remains a historical monument. To those who know its true purpose, it is the Axis of Equilibrium — and Jinos Raufendarken its eternal guardian.

Those who have looked into his eyes — one radiant as dawn, the other dark as the void — claim to see both the salvation and the destruction of the age to come. For in Jinos burns the truth his ancestors swore to protect:

> “Light and darkness are not enemies. They are the same truth, seen from two sides of eternity.”
