Cruinthe was once a prosperous land, one where peace was commonplace, and the wealth was growing. The people loved their king, and their royal family, and all was right with the world. The birds sang, the waters were clean, the trees were green, and the townsfolk gossiped and worked and lived on happily.
But it wouldn't last forever.
The city of Helkorth had fallen into darkness. It's Lord who was under the King's command was assassinated by a Demon, and the townsfolk were slaughtered and raised into the horrid undead. That's when the war commenced. The armies of darkness moved across the plains and forests of Cruinthe, and with every foe slain, their undead ranks were bolstered. Soon the towns in Everglade forest were taken over, first Morith, it's defenders were caught off guard and were no match for the undead forces. Then Rosterford fell, followed by Innorsford.
The Demon's victory seemed complete as its armies closed in on Sorath. But it was met with fierce opposition by the King's armies, and was pushed back to the largest forest in Cruinthe.
The forests were renamed to the Haunted wood, and the Dark forest by their current ruler, the Demon King Cuel Squ'al Ta'al. The plains outside of Helkorth were renamed the Shattered plains. Battle was often joined there, and the armies of the King shattered upon it's face. Like a howling rabid beast the undead came back from the brink of annihilation again, and again. With every failed siege, more joined the ranks of the demons and undead.
A year ago, the King himself rode into battle to dethrone the dark and evil demon lord of Helkorth, but was slain in one on one battle with his quarry just outside the fortress town gates. Now his only living relative rules Fordeth, and the remaining free lands. His daughter the princess, Melissa Justea.
Melissa Justea, unfortunately for the free peoples of Cruinthe, lacks the much needed military experience to effectively combat the threat. She appointed a general to lead the military until she learned enough from her advisers and the general to lead herself.
The Cruinthe War has only just begun. The noble warriors of the Cruinthe Defense Forces have been more than brave, fighting and dying at the hands of the undead. Sworn to protect all that is good and holy in the world. They have completed many missions, and saved many lives. Giving up their own in holy combat.
The Drow have surfaced from underneath the Darthak Region, and have pledged their aide to the strife of the brave warriors of Cruinthe.
Now the Alliance does battle against the undead and their demonic masters. They fight on with the champions of the light by their side. Some are favored souls by the Gods of the Light, and become legendary in their own right. Each has a story to tell, how they began, what happened to them. How did they become a legend, a hero, a savior.
-Become a powerful Warrior, fighting the horrid undead on the front lines, braving the melee and crushing one's opponents in close combat. You are the heavy armor, the shield and sword of the Alliance!
-Rain death upon your foes as the destructive Black Mage, burning your enemies to ash, freezing them solid, or crushing them into a pile of dust. You are the definition of elemental might, the magical arm of the Alliance!
-One shot, one kill. The motto of the elusive Ranger. Stealth and ranged combat are your allies. Piercing your foes with the steel of your mighty arrows, bodies that vaguely resemble pincushions lie in your wake. You are the eyes, the ears, and the arrows of the Alliance!
-The Holy Light of the clerical White Mage heals and supports the Alliance's best soldiers. If it wasn't for your divine magics of healing and shielding, many would have died and been reborn again as the monstrous undead. You are the healing force of the Alliance!
