Prologue
“Wherever there is light, there will always be darkness.”
Many years after the Great Dragon attacked and Elemency was revealed to the human race, a great Empire started to take root on Tarrus during the process of rebuilding. Unfortunately, many humans distrusted their alien neighbors for their part in the destruction. This resulted in prejudice and hatred from all sides. Spawning from this racism came the Dark Races, an alliance of hostile alien factions bent on the destruction of the humans for crimes rendered against nonhumans. Although, beginning as a peaceful enterprise, the Dark Races were soon perverted into something far more sinister. A supernatural force known as the Shadow Realm, along with its fanatical zealots known as Mages, took control of the Dark Races in secret, manipulating them for the sole purpose of destroying all life in the universe.
And thus, the ancient war for dominance began and two orders were formed. The Monastery of Light, representing Tarrus and the various alien groups allied with the Elementals, and the Order of the Shadow, representing the disgruntled alien races as well as the Mystics who had fallen from the true path of Elemency thanks to Mage doctrine.
Adding to the chaos came the introduction of four newcomers - beings of supernatural origins who called themselves the Caretaker’s Heralds. These Four Heralds would soon become known throughout the universe as the Fallen Ones. No matter how repugnant these creatures may seem today, it is important to note that it was not always so. In actuality, in terms of fairness and grace, the four had no equal. They were forerunners of an ancient, spiritual kingdom that goes back to the very heart of Elemency. The Four Heralds - first of their kind to enter our universe. Strange in ways, fair in face, but most of all, fierce in battle - these four beings were initially summoned by the Monks who served the Light to be used as acolytes in the great wars. It was the duty of these Four Heralds to safeguard the secrets of the Monastery as well as see to the wellbeing of all the Elementals and their peoples.
