Himmel and the Demon Prince

Thirty years ago, in the year 346, Azazel the Dread King and one of the infamous Demon Princes, brought forth his legions of infernal beings and began his conquest of the northern continent. Cities and kingdoms ruthlessly fell to his onslaught, and the free people of the north were mercilessly slaughtered. In response, the kingdoms and states of the southern continent rallied together, calling themselves the Alliance of the Lions, to defeat Azazel and liberate the north. Thus, began the lengthy Northern Conquest, a decades long war waged between the infernal forces and the Alliance of the Lions.
Early on, strategists predicted a decisive war due to the overwhelming forces in the south…except Azazel and his commanders proved far more cunning. After a string of overwhelming defeats, the Alliance of the Lions' forces were quickly pushed back and demoralized. The northern continent was all but lost, and a stalemate ensued for the next several years, where whatever grounds earned was just as quickly lost.

13 years later, the world learned of the hero Himmel's name. Himmel and his party, Freiren the archmage, Siegfried the cleric, and Kiel the fighter began their quest to eliminate Azazel, and did what thousands of others failed to do, and won key victories throughout the northern realms by liberating northern settlements and slaying many of legion commanders. After 7 years, the adventurers group had grown to 11.
