The current age of the world begins in a baptism
of darkness, fire and death. Two years after the
rise of Ilius the Betrayer, he launched a massive
assault across the land, using Aiyia, Dracia,
Lothanewi and Alakar to attack the Alliance of
Kings.
The Reunification War brought about the
reestablishment of the Ilium Empire as well as the
Breath. The Church of the Sun suffered staggering
loses in the war and is forced into hiding as each
of the King’s of the Alliance falls to the
onslaught of undead armies. The Second Night Reign
has begun.
The land currently is controlled by 6 na-tions;
Aiyia, Alakar, the Dominion, Helvada, Ilium and
Lothanewi. The former kingdoms that were conquered
during the Blood Culling are referred to now by
region. All but the Dominion and Helvada are
allied with the Ilium Empire. Ilius the Betrayer
rarely interacts with the common day to day
activities of the land and instead, delegates
these to the Lich Lord Razel who resides in the
Solis region.
The Dominion, controlled by the Cushani, is able
to rebuff the advances of Aiyia and Ilium due to
their dragonrider allies. However, the ruling
Fire-storm tribe has begun to weaken and in a bid
for power, destroyed the dragonriders and created
a dracolich. This act has recently brought the
Dominion down into civil war which Aiyia and Ilium
watch intently for the chance to topple the proud
cushani of the Dominion.
The kingdom of Helvada was driven north-ward at
the end of the war, forced to rebuild their
kingdom after devastating loses. Though the
warrior society has since begun to rebuild, the
sudden rise
of the
Reaper Plague has had disastrous effects on the
leadership of the kingdom. With no heir apparent
to the throne, the legions stand poised to fight
for the right to rule.
The world has been shrouded in darkness due to the
constant total eclipse of the Sun and the people
have one last hope that someone can rise up from
the darkness to bring back the light.
