Three kingdoms, four races, one enemy.

Things had been rocky between the three neighboring kingdoms for a while now. Some were surprised a war hadn't already broken out, though it didn't look too far from one happening. Funny thing was that each of them had already prepared their armies for battle the morning the dreaded Plague came. It spread like wildfire through the lush forests of Sithia, seeping into the vast land of Korrindel. Only Rahk, the last kingdom, managed to put up a barrier in time. In a matter of days, both Sithia and Korrindel had become a massacre site and their people were forced into hiding. Some ran, but very few made it further than their kingdom's borderline. They called it the Witch's Plague, an evil so foul, it shadowed the sun and took away the day. It was more than just a sickness, it was an army. And now, it had two kingdoms under its control. Where did this plague spawn from? Rumours say Noq, the island of witches (hence 'Witch's Plague'). How did it affect a person? When infected, the victim starts coughing up blood and deep lacerations start to appear on the body, as if raked from the inside. More and more will appear as the days drag on. It makes for quite an ugly, painful death. Most perish within the week. What was the Plague's purpose? That remained a mystery.

Every day, the soldiers of the Plague army stand watch, just keeping Sithia and Korrindel's people within their homes. They don't attack unless provoked and only kill when attempts to escape are made. Small comfort, considering the Plague itself killed at a rapid pace. And it made you wonder what they were waiting for. So far, a total of seven hundred men have tried to escape. Only a hundred made it through. Whether they managed to reach shelter elsewhere or died along the way, no one would ever know. What was their goal? The Nyx Abode.

It was the only place besides Rahk and the Xamarthu Territory still free from the Plague. They talk of a being there, one that fed and lived off of Darkness itself. The Black Angel. It was possible that this being was the reason the Plague couldn't reach the Abode. From the thick forest that made up its entrance to the snowy mountain at the end, the Nyx Abode remained untouched. All those who entered had the Plague banished from them. It is said that the place was a refuge for the innocent, a cure and also a home for outcast creatures. For those living like prisoners in their own homes, it gave them hope to try and escape this hell they were in.

Now, an army was being formed by the powerful mage, Aldritch, and his lovable sidekick, Pusheen. This man had cleverly covered himself with invisible plague-repelling runes before it even reached him and has since done the same to any he could find that were still free from the Plague. He's found a couple hundred or so still fit for battle and hasn't given up on recruiting. Unfortunately, healing the infected was beyond his power. For the time being, he's created secret underground tunnels connecting all the kingdoms. However... only those still free from the Plague can go in and out of them. Aldritch has been using these tunnels to store supplies as well as train his secret army for battle. During breaks, they go back above ground and play it off as if they too are sick while providing the masses with clean water and food. So far, the Plague soldiers haven't noticed a thing. Aldritch's main objective now was to capture the so-called 'Eater of Darkness', who frequented the Plagued kingdoms every night. It seemed that the being had found a new delicacy; Plague soldiers. Aldritch needed to have this being on their side if they were to have any chance at fighting back, but how exactly were they supposed to capture such an elusive creature?

Forced to the risk, Aldritch, with the help of a few, had set up a trap meant to seal the Black Angel in. He was convinced that this being would help, and just needed a little push. Knew because each time the Black Angel visited the kingdoms, several more turned up free from the Plague. Maybe all it took was a little push, some sweet words. If he could just get this creature to see the pitiful condition of everything. Several things could go wrong with this plan, of course. One of them being that the Black Angel escapes and never returns, another being that they refuse to help completely. Aldritch had selected five of the most worthy to aid him with this plan. Yeah, it's a gamble, but what else can they do? More and more were dying by the day. Was it possible for someone to befriend the Black Angel and have them help willingly instead? Maybe...

And now, you. Who are you? A mighty King, brought down to his knees by the Plague? A kind-hearted maiden, struggling to reassure those around her? A brave soul, already preparing for another war? Or perhaps just some lucky fool that managed to get to stay alive for so long. The Plague holds no preference, regardless of your stature.

Welcome to Rothrodin.
