Balkoth rose to power and now controlling the faith of Death.With his large forces of evil he took over Great Temples and set to destroy and suck all the ancient powers that were given to Urak by the Great Ones. The faith leaders couldn’t do nothing and were trying to reassure everybody that everything allright. Land desperately was in need for heroes.

In twelve years after Balkoth rose to power Asar, the Lord of Order, entered Order’s Great Temple and butchered the necromancer who worked there freeing the Great Temple and pronouncing himself the Savior of Order. After that the chain reaction started Heroes began to appear in each faith and they tried to free they’re Great Temples from Death servants, but Balkoth was knew about it and tried to prevent it, great battles were fought and Balkoth was thrown back in the swamps were he built his capital and made it indestructible. He sweared the dark oath that he will gut Lord of each faith with his own hands.

Life, Air, Water and Order this time created an Alliance. But that was pretty unstable and was held only by elven arrows and Air lightning bolts. Order was the only faith that felt neutral to Death and wasn’t going to fight for it defeat.

Other dark faiths like Earth, Fire and Chaos were separated and had to fight they’re nemesis alone and at the same time try to prevent Balkoth from crushing them. That was the story of Urak in past 100 years.

Our story starts when the Age of Wars was in its pick. Our “hero” old halfling thief named Quibek, who retired and wanted to get away from the horrors of combat. Needles to say the thief's job is hard and Quibek was the first thief in Urak who stayed alive enough time to retire. People used to say that old halfling in his days was the best thief in Urak he could steal anything from anybody without anybody knowing about it. Quibek was the old friend of Lord of Earth they started the war together, it was hard for him to let Quibek go but he had no choice, so he offered thief one of the taverns that they captured together. And now Quibek lives there, old soldier, brews ale and beer. For that his tavern is known everywhere. He has nothing to do in the evenings so he listens to adventurers and veteran soldiers. By now he’s got enough stories to tell them for centuries. That’s my job so listen stranger Quibek stories.
