Elessi
Elessi was once a peaceful land as most lands are. All the gods and goddesses in harmony with the lands and people around them. Yet, one day something changed.
The Corruption was born from a loyal god becoming so disillusioned with the races he ruled over. There is no other way that he saw fit, but to destroy them and the other guys that played into their whims.
Regardless of his change, the world has seemed to continue on as it did before. The races are as diverse as they were before and life has not changed all that much. Though whispers of The Corruption are becoming louder and louder.
