But for the first time, Valora and her hammer met with failure, and the price she and her masters paid was vast. They had discovered a means of permeating the entirety of the cosmos with their inner light - to obliterate all aspects of darkness forever - and they sent Valora to seize a source of great power, the final piece of their ultimate plan. In time, the Children also revealed another purpose for the Dawnbreaker. Molded from the heart of a young metallic star, and charged by golden breath with new life, Valora was called to spread the glow of the Children's wisdom to the darkest reaches of the universe - setting fire to the heavens with each swing of her celestial hammer amidst an endless battle to keep chaos at bay. Valora, the Dawnbreaker, most prized warrior amongst the Children's ancient creations, is the shining herald of the majesty of order and light. Calling themselves the Children of Light, they saw no one else as worthy of taking up the Keeper's abandoned mantle, and they yearned to beat back the onslaught of darkness, creating glorious armies built to purge the cosmos of all creatures of primordial night. In the aeons after the Keeper's exodus birthed the age of light, some amongst the first sun's lineage began to align against the chaos their ancestor's maker left chasing in his wake. She rises now from her dark sleep to witness an unfamiliar world beset by the same chaos that her masters yearned to oppose.Īfter many years of inactivity, the stakes of the fight before her have not changed, and so she wields her Brightmaul once more to bend chaos to order and shine brightly upon the darkness, honoring the memory of her beloved masters. Her uncontrolled course through space brought her into the planet where the Nemesis Stones crashed upon, laying dormant for aeons until a star in the far reaches of space revived her with its spark. Entrusted with and inseparable from the Brightmaul that once lit the darkness of space with celestial flame, this shining automaton is compelled to see to the tasks of her creators who had wished to continue the Bright Rider's quest against darkness and chaos, while spreading their inner glow to the very ends of the cosmos.Ī great tragedy soon befell Valora and her masters, leaving her virtually lifeless and inert in the cold black space between the stars and the planets. Valora the Dawnbreaker is the living weapon of the Children of Light, forged from the purest elements of a young star and infused with the essence of her gods' breath. Valora tells us that battle never gets old
