Long ago, there was a great and terrible war. It began under the hand of a human king by the name of Aldren, whom sought to conquer all and destroy those that stood in his wake. Across the lands, terrible things began to transpire. First, the great and mighty Dragonian kingdom was annihilated by a mysterious plague followed by a disease that swept across the Nengishiou home land, greatly decreasing an already small populace. The Elves began to experience horrific monsters creeping from the temple in which they worshiped their Gods, taking many lives. Dark creatures of unknown origin began to spread across the lands, weakening everyone's defenses. The only place unaffected by these horrible events, was the castle of the royal family of Estavāle.
Suspicions rose and those already on the border line jumped heatedly across to declare war in the strong belief that King Aldren was the conjurer of this evil. It all began, the moment he came to power.
The King's one and only son, whom despised his father and called him on his cruel, tyrant ways, took up his sword and vowed to restore peace to the lands. Derik of Estavāle, was his name, and he was the switch all were looking for. He had inside information regarding many of Aldren's horrible doings, and even information on suspicious endeavors.
Alongside the Elves, the demons rose up as well, tired of being captured and turned into slaves to be horribly abused by the king. The humans whom suffered under Aldren's cruel fist also began to work under their lord and overseer. Many important characters joined in the plight for freedom of the evil that had taken them, even a survivor of the Dragonian massacre, a prince, no less. Mages joined the fight, and aid was given by the surviving Nengishiou.
All creatures of ability stood upon the battlefield that one fateful day, ready to thwart the King that had revealed himself to be a being of utter evil. No longer even human, but a puppet of an ever growing darkness.
The battle lasted for weeks, both sides going back and forth over a stretch of land dyed red. But the fact remained-the king was winning. Hearts fell and spirits weakened. It seemed as though utter defeat was inevitable. The ferocious monsters summoned to the King's side were too powerful, and too numerous.
And then it happened. Possessed by a lost spirit, a young mage suddenly recollected of a past from another life. A past he had forgotten. Power and knowledge surged through him and with all his wisdom, knew that Aldren had to be stopped. This evil king, no longer human, wished to do more than conquer, he wanted to revive something that should never be revived again-something of great and terrible evil the likes the world had not seen in many centuries. Suddenly all became clear.
And that's when it came...
The silver rain. A strange silver rain began to fall from clear skies and burn the wicked and evil while the good and pure were healed of their afflictions. The war changed tides quickly as it rained and Aldren's forces were destroyed. It kept raining, it rained for days, it rained when the former king met his execution, burning his skin, but still he did not relent his sharp, blood drawing words. As if driven mad by the silver rain, he confessed all his wrongs with great joy, until the very end.
The war became known as the Silver Rain War. However, many things have been lost and the war itself has become nothing more than a legend. The great warriors' names whom fought in that battle were eventually forgotten, even the identity of the wise mage whom saved all their lives. It was almost, as if it were intentional. Everyone knew of the great, noble prince whom defeated his cruel father in battle, but everything else seems to have become clouded.
This day, Hyeon-Ji II of Estavāle rules over a prosperous and happy kingdom, rumored to be a descendant of the brave prince from the myth, but of course, a myth is still often treated, as nothing more than a legend that only a few truly believe. Trade between all the kingdom's is strong, and even the once isolated Nengishiou welcome all to their doors up in the heavens.
However, something dark is stirring in the distance. Something... Forgotten.
