| In the beginning, the world was formed from the void and the gods were formed from the earth. With their powers, they set about the world shaping it to their will. It is at this time, it is said, that the Gods made the Elves, Dwarves and the other Elder races to help and amuse themselves. In those days the Gods lived on the earth among their creations and there were many wonders. In time Malikar (also known as The Destroyer, Defiler, The Black) grew jealous of the gods and their wondrous power. With his Demon hordes, he found a way to kill a God and steal its powers. Thus started the first God War. There was doom and destruction as the very stars fell from the sky. Through trickery and deception, Malikar gained much power. But the remaining Gods, few in number, banded together and were able to cast down the Black. But the world now lain in ruin, most of the lands devastated. The remaining Gods began anew to rebuild their shattered world. It was then that they created Humans, Goblins, Halflings, and many other races, all to help restore the world. Tired and weary, the Gods retreated from this land, leaving it in the care of the elder races. The younger races grew and flourished, spreading far across the lands. This age is often referred to as the Golden Age of Man, for the humans had spread across the land and built great cities and mighty empires. They truly seemed blessed by the Gods. But this peace was not to last, for the dark God Malikar had spread corruption and deceit throughout many of the greatest emperors, paving the way for the second God War. The second God War brought terror and destruction to the world once more, though this time neither Malikar or the Gods dared to bring out their full power for fear of destroying the world utterly. Instead, great armies of their followers clashed with one another. The many great empires fell, and the lands of yore disappeared overnight. But the armies of the Destroyer marched on, enslaving all they came upon. The armies of good could just barely hold on. In their darkest hour, six heroes rose up and scattered the Dark God Malikon so that he should never return. Thus the world was saved. |
