After decades of research and development, scientists of the Voerthal Empire successfully melded magic and machine to create a phylactery that could contain the souls of individuals and allow them to survive death by inhabiting a dormant cloned body. This techno-arcane phylactery even allowed these agents to be resurrected within their clones across the vastness of interstellar space. Unfortunately, the process of stripping away one's soul and ensnaring it within the phylactery proved to be a process few could endure. After the loss of hundreds of candidates, only three elves survived with both mind and body intact. These three extraordinary agents were given unprecedented resources, powers, and authority throughout the empire. However, if one stares into the phylactery, they can feel their souls stirring within it. Some feel as if the souls are raging, others feel intense agony, and some an uncomfortable emptiness. Only the three agents themselves will remain near it for long, and they rarely speak of what they experience or feel. Thank you for taking a look, and any comments you care to leave...
