~~~~~Site Plot~~~~~
Man cannot remember the time before the demons reign over the world. The church tell that God wanted to test the world's Faith by opening the Gates of Hell to one Grand Demon.The humans proved to weak, as the Demon threw a black shadow upon the world with its power. It is said it took the Grand demon 6 days to claim dominion over the world. God was sadden by this and left the humans to there fate, planning to rebuild when all were lost to the darkness. The Grand Demon opened the Gates of Hell itself, releasing thousands of devils and spirits upon the world. Four Grand Demons joined its cause and for 1,000 years humans fell into near extinction.
When it seemed all hope was lost, man fought back. Humans began being born with Magic, the demons secret art. These Mages put all there efforts into making weapons with magical powers as in Legends. The first Runes were the result of this. With this discovery, the first Paladins were created. Humans who didn't fear the demons and sought to rid the world of them. As the demons fell, the Order became smaller as a result of the knowledge magic possessed. Some people decided dealing with the magic arts was against Gods wishes.These people took up ordinary arms against the fiends and became the Templars. The Templars grew in number as the Paladins shrank as people did not wish to dabble with the arts of Demons. Even the mages separated themselves from the world in an attempt to control themselves. The Templars and Paladins joined arms to defeat the Grand Demons once and for all.
The Battle of Serpent Rock was a battle to be remembered for all time. It took three full days for the Grand Demon to fall to the Paladin and Templar hands. As the people of the world cheered, Only the two groups heard the demons final words, promising to return one day with a new army to shatter the land again in its wake. The Paladins took its words to heart and waited while the Templar's were convinced the demon dead for good. The Templars became the Lords of the new Kingdoms, building the world to support life once again as they embraced the glory of winning the war on darkness. The Paladins however joined the church, waiting to kill any demon that may arise.
Now, in the present day, 500 years after the Grand Demon was killed, shadows are turning once again. The Four Kingdoms built to strengthen one another are at each others throats. War is on the rise, but against fellow men instead of demons. The Church warns the people of wickedness, as it calls to Demons, yet their words go unheard as it is covered by chants and song. As smaller demons start appearing the people begin to become paranoid while the Paladins calm them as best they can with their presence. The Order of Law Keepers, an order formed long ago to provide the laws of the lands, has held peace as long as they can. With the demons arrival they have tightened their grip on the Lords, trying to keep them from breaking into chaos. This has done the opposite however, as some lords have become angry and have plotted to take over nations for there own.The Order has keep to its laws however, forcing lords into a hostile state ready to break at any moment while the order prepares to keep them with force .The World has fallen to greed while the darkness lays in wait. The Demons are back, but who or what is driving this return is not yet know. And What of you? Will you head the word of the Church or will you try to advance your name in History.
