Story



Since the dawn of time, mortals have worshipped the old gods as their ultimate leaders. Their reign over the mortal worlds had been left unchallenged for aeons, and thus they became corrupt and drunk with power. Treating the world of humans as superior to the others, they neglected the other mortal races. Thus, elves, demons and giants alike began to turn their devotion to new gods. As these new gods gained power, the old gods’ grasp on the mortals was weakened. Unwilling to cede their power, the new gods struck. The relentless war between the old gods and new caused great devastation for both sides.

Unable to carry the weight of war, the World Tree, which held the all worlds together collapsed and shattered into innumerable pieces. The destruction caused the mortal worlds to collapse into each other and merge into one. The World Tree’s splinters were scattered across this new devastated world.

Weakened by the long war and the destruction of the World Tree, the gods were unable to reach down into the world of mortals to reclaim the World Tree’s splinters and rebuild the universe. Soon, cunning mortals discovered the splinters’ hidden powers and decided to use them to their advantage. By using sacred trees as beacons, these mortals contacted the gods and offered their service, gathering the splinters and fighting their enemies in the mortal realm. In exchange for their service, mortals demanded power and a chance at a seat alongside them once their victory has been secured.

These mortals became leaders of the merged world, tasked with raising thriving settlements and leading their people into battle to reclaim the World Tree’s lost splinters. Humans joined the old gods to rebuild a world where humans dominate all other mortals. Elves, demons and giants joined the new gods to rebuild a world in which all races are united and equal. Now, the conflict has finally reached the world of mortals and divided them into two factions, both entangled in the ultimate war between the Keepers of the Ancient and the Souls of Ascension. [1]
