But even in this grand time, evil still lurks. An evil group known as the Dark Ones, along with their counterpart guild known as the Legion, are building an army of orcs, goblins and trolls. They are planning to take over the world, and turn it into their vampiric feasting ground.

They will stop at nothing to get what they want. They will leave the land a barren wasteland full of death, misery, and flames. They will turn the elven race back to its suppressed earlier life. They will erase the existance of the treants, and rid the world of all hope of light. The Dark Ones are starting a war that will offset the balance and will become an age worse than any other in the history of Ildius.

But, even in this dreadful situation, there are those who rise to protect what is good. Specifically Kadaj the Knight Lord, heir to the throne of Ildius and leader of the Council. Another group that seeks to defend the world is the recently formed group known simply as 'The Odyssey, whose goal is more to wipe out the Dark Ones' counterpart, the Legion.

There are, of course, other groups standing up against this revolt. Emina the Night Mother with the Shadowriders... Kaya and the Monks of Kagren... the Elven Brigade of Elesthier... and the Dwarven Militia of Harthia. Soon the war is going to take on it's peak in brutality, and now is the time for you to find your place among the bloodshed, be you hero or villain.
