STORYLINE

Talaus was a beautiful planet with tranquil scenery. For many thousands of years the inhabitants lived in peace, all unaware of eachothers existance. Leagues of forces from both spirit and human races were sent to find other sophisticated forms of life, all comming back with nothing. The tides of war though, have now transformed this once incredible planet to a blood stricken wasteland. The once crystal clear waters now run red and all salvation for this wretched world seems lost.

Once a peaceful race, some of the spirits wanted to dabble into the darker arts of magic, wanting more and more control of the other spirits. Naturally there were a lot of spirits that didn’t like the idea of this, and wanted to rebel against the darker ones.
Some of the spirits ended up creating mystic element runes, one for each element on the planet, which they used to summon powerful elementals to do their bidding. Together they waged war against the spirits that opposed them, many were slaughtered. A group of the rebel spirits needed a way to escape the darker spirits elementals, so they decided to try and find a way to turn the elementals against their owners. They were unsuccessful in doing so, however they did manage to steal the air and water element runes in the confusion of war.
After the rebel spirits regrouped with their new air and water element allies, they waged a counter attack on the dark forces. They managed to push them back a great way, claiming half the land for their own. They tides were now even. The darker spirits had fire and earth elementals under their control, while the light spirits had air and water. These sides clashed for eons, neither side victorious.
During the millennia of battle, another force grew formidable, the then-unknown human race. The humans had managed to grow for generations without being noticed by the warring spirits.
The dark spirits considered the humans to be a possible 5th element, something that will give them the advantage in the Great Spirit war. They sent out scouts to assess their new discovery, unfortunately for the dark forces, one of their scouts were captured by the light spirits, and was forced to give critical information about the element runes, as well as the location of the humans. The light spirits sent their own scouts to the humans, and put their best spell casters to work, trying to destroy the rune stones which enslaved the elementals, fully aware that doing so would destroy them all, even the ones that they had captured themselves.
The dark warlocks were aware of this, and tried to interrupt the spell with their own. Doing so twisted the magiks together, dissolving the rune stones, but not completely destroying the magic that kept the elementals bound to this plane of existence. They were now sentient, able to think for themselves, with no master.
The dark spirits, now with no elementals to control, were now unsure of fate, so they turned to the humans for help. Most of the humans were easily corrupted by the dark spirits promises of power and wealth, but the light spirits own missionaries had come earlier to warn the humans of this lingering threat. Many humans had already allied with light spirits, and were already helping them gain more troops for the cause.
Two colossal forces had been created. The light spirits had gained the support of the air and water elementals and a handful of human kingdoms, whereas the dark spirits had the remaining corrupted humans, as well as the fire and earth elementals.

Throughout the many years of war and toil between the two sides, the world was turned into a warground. Over the years of war, the Light side gained the upperhand by sheer numbers. The Dark side began to delve more into their Dark arts to try and even the score. They began infuseing spells to cause more horrorfying side effects to the Light side. The infuseing of the spells proved extremly effective against the Light side and soon the tides were once again even. But the Dark side would not stop there. Being more consumed by winning and having more power than ever by this time, and having learnt a lot more about infuseing spells. They decided to infuse their two most powerful spells. Ones which even when singular were effective against the Light side. It took many years of hard work for the more superior Dark mages to be successful in this, but it was finally completed. The Dark side, not being completly ignorant decided to test the spell first on something. Scouts came back days later with news that there was a large city near the Demonic encampment. Making sure they seized the opportunity they left immediatly. They arrived to a sight nothing less than what the scout had described. The city that stood before them would have been a magnificent one, had the war which ravaged the world had not been so unforgiving to all. The Dark mages set to work immediatly, being as keen as others to see what the outcome of the spell would be. Summoning their power from the Dark spirits, the Dark mages successfully cast the spell. After all the smoke had cleared and the sun shone once again through the dark clouds, all were left in awe. The city had dissapeared.

No one knew if the spell was supposed to have this reaction, so they just took it as a success. One of the drones saw something in the distance. Where the center of town once was. One of the Dark army generals sent out the scout to retrieve this, he did not want to threaten the life of any of this soldiers for he did not know if it was safe to venture where the city once was. The drone returned with a stone tablet. One of the more superior Dark mages took the tablet to study it. The tablet was not in a language known to the Dark side. They knew the Light sides language also, but this was a foreign language. The Dark side thought nothing of this tablet and just kept it in one of their dungeons.

Later, when the two sides were in the midst of fighting, a huge storm came over, covering what seemed all of the world. The Dark side believed that this huge storm was part of the result of the spell they cast earlier. They worshiped the storm, and called for it to do unjust to the Light side. Later when the storm had blown over, the Dark side had almost twice as many casualties than the Light side as a result of the storm. When the names came back from who had died for the Dark side, the results were horrorfying. All the soldiers struck down in the war during the storm witnesed the spell being cast upon the city. The mages who cast the spell all died a mysterious horroble death in their sleep. The Dark council had a meeting and decided that the spell should be locked away forever, in a place that no man should ever see. This, of course did not satisfy many, rumour spread that the tablet which was found caused the storm, and caused all that were there at its founding to die. The Dark council, again met and ordered the tablet to be shattered into twenty pieces, these pieces would then be hidden all over the world. Dark mages summoned fierce monsters to protect the pieces.

News came to the Light side forces of these mysterious events only days later. They also were stunned at the fact that the spys they sent to watch the spell being cast had also died in the storm. The Light side, being less superstitious, shrugged this off quickly and concentrated on the war. When they heard news of the tablet though, they were incredibly interested. Believeing they would be able to work out the language, the Light side sent out scored of men to recover the pieces knowing all too well about the demons the Dark side set to protect them. The council of Light forgot about these men as the years went on, they were led to believe that Dark forces got to them before they were able to retrieve the fragments of tablet. One day a rogue soldier returned to the encampment and told the story of what happened. According to the soldier they made it to the first fragment, but were ill prepared for the fight that would take place for the fragment itself. Underestimating what would be inside, they ventured onwards...
Soon they found themselves surrounded by vile demons. They did not even hear them, nor did they see them until it was too late. The soldiers were not aware that there would be monsters of that calibur at the place in which they ventured. Barely managing to escape with his life, the lone soldier had to make the entire way back to the encampment with little supplies and had to avoid constant danger. The council of Light were concerned about the Dark side having captured the soldier and brainwashing him, but this assumption was dismissed. He went on to say that every member of the army which was sent was slaughtered by the legion of vile monsters, they did not even get to see the fabled monster who guards the tablet fragment personally.

During the Great War, there were many thieves lurking from both sides, looking for rare and valuable items from opposing sides. To counter this, the dark side called upon a demonic power to enchant their weapons and armors, with a curse no Light side could ever stand. The Light side called upon a holy spirit to endow their weapons and armours. Something the Dark side could never fathm. The armours were not only to protect from enemies, but also from vicious creatures. The creatures of Talaus were docile at a time but now could attack at any time. It is general knowledge that the changing moods of the animals is caused by the war and the effect it has had on their homes. But, amongst both the Dark and Light sides of the spirits there are rampant rumours through the high mages that these mood swigns could possibly be from a great clash between Dark and Light forces for a great strategical position then Ultimus, the great leader of the renowned Death Dealer clan for the Dark side cast a powerful spell. This spell opened a chasm in the earth. Both sides retreated, many lost their lives, from both sides. It is said that many of the troops who were near the chasm, including Ultimus himself heard a great beast below, unlike anything they had ever heard. Since that day no man has ever braved the journey back to that spot. It has been reported several times though from scouts who have observed the spot from the mountain rages high above that vile creatures spew from the mouth of the chasm in search of prey.

In a journal written by Ultimus one of the entries read "I know what I uncovered in the god forsaken hell I opened. I have heard some of the mages speaking of the mythical creature at times. I dare not speak his name for fear of the curse when you speak his name. I know what I awoke in that hell and I have ended the world by uncovering him. I must go now, I must undo the evil I have let loose upon the world. I pray to the gods tha I may return, although I am not hopeful." That was the last entry made by Ultimus, his fate is unknown. However his life ended, if indeed it did, it was a great loss to the Dark side and his death mourned by all. The lair of the beast was made sacred and all Dark side members were made to take an owth to never venture into the unholy lands without direct permission from the Dark council. The Light side soon learned of this tradgey and played off it. Gaining tactical land against the Dark side, the war seems like it is just beginning...

For centuries more the two sides have battled for domination of Talaus. Many fighters use the technique of training against the monsters of the land to ready themselves for the frequent clashes with opposing sides. The battle is comming to a head, and both sides are just begining to uncover the secrets to their own powers. Choose your side and take aim against your enemies. For only the stong will be able to return order to the world of Talaus and lead their side to victory.
