"While the origin of this Order and unique power remain unknown, the last six years are well-documented, though not well known by the public. The current Order can trace it's roots to the island of Mua Nui, which was one of the centers of the Xa-K\u00FBta. Many citizens of those lands knew and practiced the Xa-K\u00FBta. They were a powerful group of sorcerers... but that all changed when a tyrannical and insane Toa, named Insontro, took the island of Mua Nui by storm. Men, women, even children, were ruthlessly slain by his vicious Visorak hordes. Back then the Visorak were under the control of an evil group called the Brotherhood of Makuta. The Makuta were their biggest enemy, and Insontro was one of their many 'kings' of Visorak swarms. Needless to say the people held their own but at tremendous cost. Many were killed, many more were taken away as slaves. While some survivors decided to stay in their ancestral home, the rest went abroad, spreading their teachings and starting chapters in other lands. One of these chapters was started here in Metru-Nui by a Master named Toa Smeagol, their base of operations located in the currently hidden and forgotten OMNI research island facility under Metru-Nui, nicknamed \"the Lightbringers\" for their zealous cause. An alliance of dark and evil organizations came together in order to combat this threat to their existence, eventually calling themselves \"the Darkbringers\" as a mockery and a statement to to the would-be bringers of light. It was at the beginning of the first Lightbringer/Darkbringer War that the current Headmaster Joske (then a matoran) approached the Lightbringer leader Smeagol if he could create a research/fortress city in order to help his cause. Smeagol agreed and the city was built, soon spitting out advanced weapons, vehicles, and tech that was used in the early stages of the war. Even though the war was won, Asermath in the end fell to Darkbringer Forces and was utterly destroyed, and the Lightbringers were forced to move on. Before the fall of the city however, Joske, with a small band of scientists and soldiers escaped, taking much of the information of the city with them. For the next two years this band followed Toa Smeagol and for the greater part the Lightbringers, helping out where they could, using their building know-how to supply the Lightbringer forces with vehicles and weapons until the final end of the several year and second Lightbringer/Darkbringer War on the duel-continent of Magna-Iun. This war's main antagonist was the research facility called the Unknown Guild, and its leader, Aqi. Strangely enough, this entire guild had been the result of a project hosted by Zuto Nui; how and why is still unknown. Again it was a win for the Lightbringers, but the losses were more severe than the first, to the point where Toa Smeagol gave his life to end the war. At the end of the war the band found themselves teleported here to Terros-Nui, a \"backwards\" island to most standards. Seeing that this would now become their home, the remaining survivors set up a more permanent shop under the gaze of the matoran-turned-toa Joske, transformed by the power of the Xa-K\u00FBta and now the leader of the Lightbringers after the death of Toa Smeagol. Trying a different approach than being out in the open, they put up a front company they called \"CORtech\", while the Lightbringer themselves remained in the background. For two years the company dominated the island, in both economics and military force. It was involved in several wars on the island, creation and fallout on empires and alliances, politics and corruption, and somehow survived. While CORtech for the longest time was seen and the leading force for good, stability, and peace-keeping, the events during the Zuto Nui war such as political fallout, eventual all-out war, downsizing, and new rise of guilds caused the company to split. It had grown to become an entity in itself, something the designers never had in mind. The Zuto Nui war was to have two main objectives: one was revenge, for it had been discovered that they had been behind the Unknown years ago and caused the bloody second LB/DB War; and two once they were defeated the Lightbringers could come to the forefront at last with little opposition to re-establish themselves and continue the mission in the open with their new allies from the war, the Brotherhood of Ak'rei'an. But because of the bureaucracy and insurrection of a former LB/DB War veteran names Parez, the company and dream disintegrated. Now with the darkness prevalent and spreading in the two islands, the in-hiding Lightbringers decided to give it one more shot, returning to their roots and original ways. While small, this band has years of experience and is unified like never before, ready to resurrect the ancient Order. Armed with knowledge and technological know-how they will become the last stand against the darkness as did their predecessors."@en .
