I've had like 2 weeks off school now and the next week i have 2 weeks of exams (I have only 4 exams in 2 weeks lol and i think they're going to get me to learn every free day) and after that i have like a month free time >.<

So well.. i don't rush =p

I've got lots of time to do it...

Well you couldn't call it an AoS

Who opposing teams are fighting eachother with a constant spawn of units that fight in only one lane. And its like a half circle, on the one end is the light base and the other end the dark base and in the mid is the battle. And it also comes with heroes yes, thats the whole base of the game. And also dueling every 10 minutes.

Didn't he say there wouldn't come any maps of it? So many people is good for over-all lore, as there are thousands if not millions of people who are important, legends, hero's, fictional evil people and geniussus, so for over-all lore it's rather good, as for a story, if you would make them all head persons, it would be one of the stories with the most head-roles XD

I indeed said that there would be no maps about this but im starting to think i could make some campaigns about it.

And well, offcourse those persons aren't all head characters, like 3 of them are head characters and like 7-8 have quite some big roles in the story. But there are going to be much more characters later because this is never enough if i want to make a campaign about it or a good story.

About the site, euhm didn't you read i deleted it? If not them im very sorry but im just far to lazy to have a site for it and i just don't like it being on a site when it is even far from done. There are no real stories yet, the world misses quite a lot of detail, important persons have to be made up, governments and societies offcourse need persons and names etc. And offcourse every fictional world has its legends and stories and many many nice places =p

And don't be to exited about what i said about making an campaign, i've only suggest it it and if im every going to make one of this there will be more then just one single campaign and it will be with warcraft-like gameplay offcourse.

Thank you, but i still have until the 20'th before they start.

Now to get everything more clear on how the story goes and to bring a bit more structure into the whole thing being a whole world i've rewritten and improved the history. I hope everything fits etc.

There is a prologue, and 4 parts. the last part being Shards of Power.

I Currently only have finished 2 parts and the prologue so here they are.

Prologue: The Lords of the Universe
Races: Demon, Unknown.

The lords of the universe are three powerful entities who seem to have the power to create worlds and shape the universes resources it requires to occur life and death. Nobody knows if something out there even more powerful created the three lords but the lords didn’t question that, they had knowledge beyond anything except who created them. So they started experimenting with they’re powers creating and shaping dimensions and they’re size. Bringing black masses in to keep the planets floating and creating suns to support life, they realized they couldn’t get into the small details themselves because it would take way to long so they created the Ancients. Also named ‘Gods’ these creatures were lesser beings that had the power to work together and shape a planet but not create one themselves. The first thing they ever created was a huge planet which they didn’t name, everything was huge and monstrous and it is rumored that the planet still exists because it was never destroyed by them. After creating and destroying several dimensions filled with life they started to get more serious about they’re creations and created the universe in which Deimosh would be born. Together with the help of the Ancients this was going quite well, until the Lords decided to destroy it and proceed with another one. The Ancients did not agree with them and rebelled against them, the Lords easily exterminated almost all of them but quite a big group rallied at a planet and started to shape it. At the end of the shaping ritual (Which was mostly a big fight) they sacrificed they’re bodies and channeled all they’re magic powers into they’re souls to create a dome around the planet which was offcourse named Deimosh. The dome was ment as a shield. The power of the shield which was great because of the united magic enchanted souls the Lords were not able to destroy it because they needed to regain they’re powers. However the lords didn’t care anyway, this was a good opportunity for an experiment. They created Maghor, an entity that was as powerful as an ancient but possessed various other kinds of magic. They also created a realm they called ‘The Kingdom of Death’ and with it they created the ruler of the kingdom who they named ‘Death’. In the language they spoke the word Death means ‘End’.
Maghor was given the mission to corporate with Death and try to destroy Deimosh, the Lords told him they didn’t have the power and were going to rest in a distant dimension to regain they’re powers. It would be a sleep of thousands of years. So Maghor created the Chaos Realms and Death made his kingdom ready to welcome the souls of the dead who would soon come to visit his kingdom. Maghor summoned creatures who he called ‘Demons’. And so the campaign against the world of Deimosh began.

Part I: The Era of Arcadon
Races: Renmei, Cave Troll, Demon, Rashketau, Undead, Vruug.

While Maghor and Death prepared for they’re mission Arcanos was created by the Ancients with the message ‘You must stop total destruction, and you alone’. Arcanos was given artifacts to summon and create his own race, he decided they would be a bit like him but different and much weaker. He called them Human which had no meaning back then, but Arcanos later changed they’re name to Renmei which meant ‘Disciples of Last Hope’ because they were the ones destined to prevent the destruction of they’re planet. Led by the hand of Arcanos they create a tribe, some of the members roam of to start they’re own tribes and some try to rebel against Arcanos whom they believe is evil because of his different look. In the distant future the Renmei start to be more civilized and create small villages and even some cities including Ksapultor. The Renmei kingdoms are growing greatly now and there are different techniques discovered, they also meet the Cave Trolls for the first time. First they ended up fighting with them in conflict only to discover that there are two tribes on the island which were opposing each other. The Renmei even helped them to recover the lands and to slay the whole hostile faction and to make the land of Org one and to place they’re former king Ugar Blukak. In the mean while that commanders helped the Cave Trolls regain they’re lands from the rebels Arcanos led an expedition to ‘Study various metals’. Offcourse Arcanos lied, he was already driven mad of power by the Ancients and he knew he could be much stronger if he tried. The ancients left various useful places and Arcanos led his men to the library of The Endless Bookshelves and found a recipe to create Arcarmor. Arcanos knew what to do, at least he knew the armor was renamed after him and that the Ancients did not leave him without any chance of getting stronger. The ancients left all kinds of magic places to ensure that conflict could turn out good in any way for the Renmei and Arcanos. Only Arcanos was obsessed by the message the Ancients gave him, and he didn’t want a democracy. He wanted to rule over his empires alone. He gathered the various minerals and tools he needed to forge the armor and disappeared for quite a while leaving his expedition force in Selarius. In the time that Arcanos left his expedition in Selarius Maghor also started various operations including opening portals to bring his armies from the Chaos Realm onto Deimosh and also gathering Renmei DNA to experiment with. He attacked the expedition force several times when some lesser portals were opend to grant entrance to small forces and only did this to gather DNA and so created a lesser race which he called the ‘Vruug’. The Vruug were ment to battle the Renmei with they’re own tactics and power but it seemed the Vruug came out weaker than expect and Maghor suggested them to use huge armies to crush they’re enemies. The Vruug were also granted Fire Magic and they still have the best Fire Magicians of the planet. Also the demon portals succeeded and greater demons were able to get true but not in great numbers. The Rashketau were also a demon-like race who came onto the planet.
In the meanwhile Maghor’s necromancers and demon troops carried out his order Maghor started to cast very heavy curses upon the planet and one of them was to devour anyone who would fall into the pools of Selarius Swamp. And so it was that a demon attack caused a whole expedition camp to de driven into the pools of the swamp and to die there and mutate into the vicious Slavok. The Slavok grew quickly in numbers by kidnapping and taking prisoners to bolster they’re ranks. Together with the Undead armies the Slavok managed to scare away the Renmei expedition force that was still waiting for Arcanos to return. While the demons, undead and rashketau prepared to attack the Westlands Arcanos was discovered in a cave where a forge was built somewhere near the February Gate. He was talking to himself how he would destroy the society of today and would create his own immortal kingdom. A scout heard everything and rushed towards the Royal Order to tell them the news. The Order sent some men to steal the recipe of Arcanos and they succeeded because Arcanos was too focused on forging his armor rather than paying attention on what happened around him. They discovered what he was planning and he was taken prison by an army of mages sent by the Magi Syndicate. He came to court and was found guilty of treason and was sent to the magic reinforced prison called Arcadon.
The island on which Arcadon was built was also named Arcadon after the special prison, the prison was ment to hold the most dangerous criminals who were to powerful to be killed and freely given to death. Because the Magi Syndicate received information about the Kingdom of Death and Death ruling the souls of the dead who were channeled into bodies to form the undead army.

Part II: The Unseen (First Mayor Conflict)
Races: Renmei, Cave Troll, Demon, Rashketau, Undead, Vruug.

With Arcanos in prison the Renmei thought they were out of problems for a while, but they forgot the report of the Slavok and Demons that were encountered in Selarius and it was remembered when they launched they’re first attack. However Maghor underestimated the Renmei and the attack was forced to retreat. The Renmei who did not foresee such an attack quickly decided to establish a frontline where they could protect they’re kingdoms from the Maghonian Order. The frontlines were heavily defended and the troops that fled from Selarius to Ebaedor were commanded to retreat into the borders of the Westlands. The demons however seemed to attack very lightly all the time and just when the troops thought another one of these attacks would come they would overwhelm them by using huge demonic warrior to cover archers that would eliminate a lot of enemies during battle. The demon tactics were pretty nasty and the Royal Order didn’t know what to do against them then just stand they’re ground and hope that the demons would face the fact that they would never break through the Renmei defenses. But the Renmei commanders were not aware of Maghor who had opend two mayor demon portals for his troops to step over in our world, one was on Darkrune isle to control the southern continent and the other was on Northold to control the northern continent (Which the Renmei did not know off).
Without the knowledge of the demons having a portal to come true, and the thing summoned at a good strategic position the Renmei never suspected that demons would get behind enemy lines. The mighty demon necromancer Umrakh Khadum managed to get ashore and gave the demons an excellent opportunity to make it they’re enemies quite difficult. The necromancer was given order to sacrifice all his magic for opening a small crack into the barriers of the worlds to let waiting demons true. The demons were ordered to ravage some cities and were send back to the Chaos Realms by the portals Umrakh summoned. At first the Renmei were terrified when they heard of the news that several villages were overrun by demons and they thought that they found a way to bypass they’re defenses. They were almost right, the reason that Umrakh was sent was only because his power was great but not as immense as Maghor, if the Magi Syndicate (which was as big as a private magician army in that time) would get signal that Maghor would’ve been spotted they would hunt him down and Maghor didn’t want to spill his magic power on a huge army which he maybe even couldn’t defeat. So to not take risk they used this technique to terrorize the Renmei villagers and make they’re leaders nervous. With far to much men guarding the frontlines the Royal Order finally commanded more then the half to retreat into the Kingdoms and protect villages from possible attacks. However the next day the troops were gone a massive demon attack came and the frontlines had fallen. With the frontlines fallen the Royal Order and the Magi Syndicate all moved out leaving enough men to defend the main Capital. The plans were to defend the villages and to retake the frontlines and ensure nobody would get true with booby traps and archers. However retaking them would take a long time, after quite some battles (which have far more detail) and days of traveling the Renmei forces were able to retake the Frontlines and ensured that no demons were able to pass true. Now the only task that remained was killing every demon that had infiltrated in they’re lands. With all the chaos and disaster during when the frontlines broke the Magi Syndicate didn’t pay attention to trying to sense any dangerous powers and so it occurred that Maghor could be escorted past the Westlands into the Forest of Layidas to summon a great demon portal. When this would’ve happened the Renmei would’ve been overrun by enemies behind they’re lines, but luckily when the frontlines were recaptured the Magi Syndicate were aware of the threat and rushed to the Forest to stop Maghor. Combined with the power of Merur and many other brave soldiers the whole Magi Syndicate battled Maghor who finally fled heavily wounded into his own portal and closed it behind himself. After that the demon armies were droven out of Ebaedor back to the swamps of Selarius where they rendezvoused with the Slavok. The war was over, but soon a new war would begin.
