A war that the The Mouthless One raged on Zin when he asked the 3 questions of the Gods and was denied. Also known as the 9 Years War.
Gods came from the heavens and worked with the Mortal Races, the first steps of civilization began, as the Gods tried to fix where they had failed with their Titan parents. Empires, kingdoms, writing, magic all formed during this age.
The final minor houses of men were subdued by King Vicar Juhel to form the Aaludian Kingdom, which ruled all of Orrin.
Famous heroes roamed the lands, seeking adventure. Red, Roland, Desh, Thokk, Biz'zle to name a few who reached legendary status. What happened to them is unknown... until now......
In the age ago, in a time now almost forgotten, heroes of the realm were abundant, adventure, spirits and wonder blew through the skies and over its lands, as easily as the breeze in the spring afternoon. Memory’s forgotten, the great heroes of the realms vanished, and their deeds became myth. No one can say for certain where or why they left, perhaps for greater treasures across the seas, other some say they went to fight the Gods of heavens and hells themselves. Of course the common people remained: the farmers, craftsman, merchants, the men and creatures of the earth. And from deep beneath the earth the Darkness saw this abandonment. Far in the earth, the Darkness grew and spread. It sent its minions out, gathering and pillaging, spreading forth its consuming will. It tore down, burned, and defiled the temples of the Gods that the people had forgotten. The heroes, never returned, and evil subdued the righteous. Empires were broken; Kingdoms became vassals; Lords became serfs. The Darkness crawled over the mountains, through the land, into the air, no one could escape from its tyranny. The people, scattered and broken. The monsters and beasts had dominion of the world once again.
The great war of the Darkness who took over most of the Mortal Kingdoms with his dark minions. Some mortals were corrupted by his dark power, others fell in battle. With no heroes to ward off the evil legions, nothing could stop the Darkness and his powers to take over. It tore down, burned, and defiled the temples of the Gods that the people had forgotten. The heroes, never returned, and evil subdued the righteous. Empires were broken; Kingdoms became vassals; Lords became serfs. The Darkness crawled over the mountains, through the land, into the air, no one could escape from its tyranny.
The Darkness is bound by those who entered the Shadowfell warding her travel between planes.
Do you feel it? Something strange, something I’ve not felt in a long time. It is like a wind, rustling the leaves in autumn. Something familiar… (Gilthoc Paxiros, Marucs Darkbane, Occam Razorgem, Karhu Rinteella)
