Eons ago the world was a place of wonder where magic took care of nearly everyone. However, power corrupts and those who controlled the magic became drunk on the energies they wielded. The most ancient and powerful of races, the Mythlings, decided it was time for those under them to worship them rather than just accept them as rulers. The Age of War came, but never left. First was the Mythling Wars. This in turn was followed by the Dragon Wars, the Alphar-Garm wars, the Dwarven-Elvin wars, the Drow wars... The most powerful of the remaining races tearing themselves apart one after another until the very fabric of the world was being torn asunder as hatreds chewed at the very fiber of society and of magic. While the supremacy of the gods slipped the influence of the demon lords grew. Now magic is in the hands of the few, races distrust each other, and children are mere property. The gods and the demon lords play their games through the mortals and suffering is more the rule than the exception. Are there forces willing and able to fight back against the shroud of darkness threatening to cause a deeper slide into the abyss?
