Leaving the old kingdom in ruins and it’s people, still frail from years of endless combat.  The world found itself in a great famine following the war, which continued over a decade. For this period of time, the common folk were opressed by the monster population which were able to thrive now that the sentient races were so vulnerable. A group of surviving veterans of the war was recruited by the high priest. A terrible battle unfolded at the end of these 10 years, The priest and his men went out and faced the 11 beasts of the apocalypse.
