In the beginning The Goddess and the Darkness ruled the Light and the Dark in Harmony. Together they created the Stone men, the Kindered, and the Elves: and for a time, all was well. The Stonemen were the Protectors of the land and the lesser beings; the Kindered were the Children Of The Dark; and the Elves were the Gardeners of the Land, and for a long time the three Races lived in Harmony. And the Goddess and the Darkness were happy.

   But the Darkness became bored with all the harmony, and started to Whisper in the Kindered’s dreams about becoming something more, maybe they should be the Gardeners or the Protector? So, the Kindered started to hunt and destroy the Elves and the Stonemen. When the Goddess caught on to what the Darkness was doing, She tricked the Darkness to help her create Humans to disrupt His plan. Some humans learned quickly that they could wield the Wild Magic that came to the First Races, and it was then that saw that the Races need not to stay the way the Goddess and the Darkness had made them. Humans saw that Kindered could nurture just as well as Elves could, and that Elves could protect just as well as Stone men: and that all could worship and wield the Wild Magic as they wanted. So came about Mages, Priestess, Warrior, and the Bard classes- and all Races were encouraged to be what-and whom-the wanted.

The Goddess was happy that Her and the Darkness’s children had become harmonious with each other-but- The Darkness, turning jaded, thought that the Kindered, His one and only True Children he molded in His image, were being misused. He thought the Kindered should be the Head Race; should be worshiped as Minor Gods second only to HIM And again he Whispered in dreams, but only the Dark Ones of the Kindered listened, and for a hundred years they split off from the other of their kind, and they began the Dark Sect. The Goddess, seeing this, in turn Whispered to the Inferno and the Blood Kindered leaders-to start some of the bloodiest first battles of the land, but with the Death of the First Three, the  Dark Sect was defeated, and the Kindered races finally became united.

  But the last straw-and what turned The Darkness into the heartless being he is now- was the Goddess going behind his back, and  creating the Dwarfs. The Goddess saw that, while all the races could tame the Wild Magic, and make magical weapons and magical things- most of the makers went quickly insane, an in turn hurt more than they helped over the course of their short profession. The Goddess thought that there should be a race that was null to the effects of magic and could help out its brethren by making all the magical things they all needed, without being poisoned by magic. So unknown to the Darkness, She brought forth Dwarves to the land. The Darkness, believing there was now too much goodness in the land, vowed He would one day get even, and would never stop trying to corrupt all that lived on the world He helped create, and make the world in His liking. The Goddess-being stronger than ever with all the love of the races behind Her- banished The Darkness into his dark underworld, where to this day, he plots… schemes …and Whispers in dreams to ones that are weak, to help  Him one day destroy all that is good in the world.
