History

From dodWiki

he Great War of the Mages, the Arcanix, nearly destroyed the world, and all man's glorious works. The Protectors of Life managed to defeat the Lords of Chaos, and lock them out of the Realm. But now, several centuries later, the magic of the seals has been weakened. One of the Evil Lords has managed to cross the boundaries between the Planes, and seeks to revive the Arcanix. Only a single Protector stands against him. He desperately seeks aid for his beleaguered world, and has sent out his call across the multiverse. Even though the call was meant for aid, the Evil Lord has managed to slip some of his evil minions through the gate, and so the battle rages on.

The forces of Chaos have found a strong foothold, and it is feared that once again the world stands at the Dawn of Demise.

Spell that caused this infernal hell to be formed, and I fear that
perhaps it's effects will never be fully healed.

least, spare the city from total annihilation. It is said that
their most gifted protector, Aldur....

Krysinnia. He said now that he is the last, he must also guard the
entirety of the Realm. Since the city's return to this plane, the
inhabitants seem....
