Once Shraenire was known as a hero who adventured around Laeriss seeking to help people.
Shraenire was created by a strange mage who wished to test the limits of magic by creating a construct more advanced than any other.
When Shraenire's creator died he lived alone in their old tower for a short time before deciding he wanted to finally leave and see the world for the first time.
After leaving the tower to go adventuring Shraenire met four other lone adventurers with all sorts of different backgrounds. They bonded through battle and became friends.
Shraenire and the party were once great heroes who traveled the lands solving peoples problems and slaying evil, they were famous all over Laeriss for their good deeds.
Finally it was time for the party to kill the root of all evil, the devil Asmodeus himself. They spent an entire six months in the nine hells trying to reach Asmodeus, they grew apart and began to loathe each other.
When Shraenire was corrupted into a demon by the devil Asmodeus, him and his followers committed atrocious evils so that he could escape the nine hells and become a true god.
After Shraenire was transformed into a demon by Asmodeus he realized that it would be impossible for him to get back to the prime material plane with his current power. Shraenire used his power to communicate with people on the prime material plane, giving them powerful abilities, but he asked that they sacrifice souls so he may escape the nine hells.
The shadow legion is the name given to Shraenire's followers, for years leading up to the solstice they killed and murdered thousands so Shraenire could break free from the nine hells.
One of the most atrocious acts of the shadow legion is when they plagued and destroyed the city of Casrea and half of Rena. Death washed over the entire empire as it collapsed into nothing but corpses and undead. Nobody could escape the grasp of The Creeping Shadow.
The Solstice of Shadows was the event that solidified Shraenire's immense power, when he finally escaped from hell and into the material plane. The sky clouded over with shadow and monsters rose up all over the world, Shraenire plunged his blade into the core of the world and Laeriss split apart.
After Shraenire split Laeriss in the The Solstice of Shadows, a new era of the sky had begun.
The dragon born were the inventors of ships which could withstand the dangers of Arcane flux. Shraenire ordered his first dragon born follower to build one of these ships and under his instruction he succeeded in the task, with the help of the other founding followers of the new order over nine months, creating The Onyxprism.
Originally before The Solstice of Shadows on the continent now known as the Darklands, The shadow legion built a sprawling near-impenetrable castle where they could fend off any attacks from those trying to stop them. It was destroyed by the great Blade of Shraenire but over a hundred years later the three new disciples of Shraenire were ordered to rebuild it.
After Unele started rebuilding the home base of The shadow legion on the Darklands he reached out to other followers of Shraenire though-out Laeriss, rebuilding The shadow legion.
In the search for new members to join The shadow legion, one person stood out as truly twisted. Arckran joined the legion as just a child but after many years serving Unele he adorned his famous silver ivory mask and killed Unele in cold blood with his giant spider familiar. He took the seat as leader of The shadow legion with little opposition and lead with an iron fist and merciless cunning.
