Once, Gods had existed in our world.  However, the gods began to turn against themselves, until there were just two remaining, once in the hundreds. The souls of the dead God's were fragmented and gifted to the mortals that served the Gods, granting them powers known as the Arts.  These remaining Gods grew sick of the world and attempted to conquer it, leaving the mortals to fight back against them, leading to the creation of the Guild.  Among the Guild's ranks, a legend is often spoke of a man who singlehandedly defeated hundreds of thousands of the gods' troops, the redcaps; his name, The Rogue.
