Preface
In the beginning, there existed little upon this plane but energy. There were two forms of energy: Pure energy, from which all that was good flowed, and Corrupted energy, from which evil and death sprang forth. The two forces existed in a state of perfect balance, until they manifested into the physical.

From Purity came the Elves, a magical race that abided by and upheld laws of the land, and from Corruption came the Vampires, a race just as powerfully magical as the Elves, but an agent of chaos. The two races, being so radically different, and having such entirely different ideals, were destined to war with one another for eternity.

After centuries of bloodshed, the Elves had managed to push the Vampires far east, past the river Obex, and to keep them at bay, the Elves set powerful enchantments on the waters of Obex, which flowed from the great Glaciers of the Far North all the way to the Xathos sea in the south. Since that time, the majority of the Vampires have been sealed on the far side of the river.

As peace settled over the land, the Elves withdrew to the west, leaving the lands between themselves and the river to Humans and the lesser races. Humans had been the balancing point in the war, having the potential for both good and evil, and as fierce fighters had tipped the scales in many battles.

Now, thousands of years after the Great Wars, the banished Vampires and isolated Elves are all but forgotten by the humans, but something dark is stirring in the North...
