Long before the creation of man, there was the Eternal Storm, a void in ³
³ which nothing existed and everything existed at once. Within this darkness ³
³ the gods resided, the embodiment of good and evil. In time, the Void ³
³ endowed the gods with the secret of "making." In the center of the ³
³ darkness, the Void brought forth a shaft of light. This was the Anvil of ³
³ Dawn. It became the essence of light, and about it the gods gathered to ³
³ use the secret of making. Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, these were bound by ³
³ lightning into the shape of a world known as Tempest. In the early days, ³
³ the world was writhed in chaos. All of the elements fought each other to ³
³ claim Tempest as their own. The gods intervened. Working together, they ³
³ forced a pact. Man himself was this pact. He was the gods; final creation, ³
³ one forged from a piece of all the others. ³
³ So it was in this age. A great lord of battle has arisen, a paragon of ³
³ ruthless evil. Behind him rally the dark races. Storming out of their ³
³ traditional lands, they threaten everything. No champion can stand against ³
³ them, no army can defeat them. The Warlord stands at the head of his ³
³ armies, absolute and invincible. It is said the dark gods gifted the ³
³ Warlord with a mysterious magic, one well able to grant him victory ³
³ against the peaceful inhabitants of Tempest. In Desperation, a last few ³
³ adventurers have pledged their skills and their lives to defeat the evil ³
³ of the Warlord. You are among these heroes, light's last hope of ³
³ destroying the source of the warlords power and defeating the warlord ³
³ himself. You must succeed.
