((This is the prologue which sets everything into place, so you all know what's going on in Illiria that sets everything into 'motion'!))
Over a thousand years ago...
The Harpies and Jinn waged war. Whatever brewed the feelings of discontent between the members of the First Race seems to be a mystery to those outside of their numbers... and if things continue to go as they have, will always remain thus.
Despite this great war, the land of Illiria was within the glory of a 'Golden Era'. Agriculture was at a peek, fishing was good, and it seemed for the most part, after the war, most of the races and people of Illiria were at peace.
Until about 20 years ago, that is.
There had always been hostile creatures and monsters within the land of Illiria, such as any other place really. But... it seemed that there were more, and the ones that were already plaguing the world, were seemingly becoming more aggressive.
There was definitely an unease between the people. Even though there seemed to be a peace, for once, between the temples of Vau'Cheth and Tetriel, the feeling of anxiety was rising in other places.
Creatures that were hidden and rarely seen became more frequent as they appeared to be running from... something.
And now, Mandolin Blackwood, high priestess of Tetriel, has gone missing.
She was studying the old war between the members of the first race when suddenly... she vanished. Without a trace.
The High Priest of Vau'Cheth, in an odd display of concern for a member of another temple, has offered a rather large sum of money for the safe return of Mandolin, or in the case that she be dead...
...the heads of those responsible.
Now monster legions are attacking the lands of Illiria, though not in full force... enough to make the citizen's worry though. Rumor has it a great, demonic looking creature named Zi'iel has been leading a particularly notorious band of creatures through the land, pillaging and destroying things in his wake.
