There was once a lovely prosperous land called Alterna, it was a utopia. The demons that had once haunted the human and elvish people had been locked in Hell for quite some time. The elves and humans had ceased their fight, and coexisted peacefully side by side. All was well, there was no evil and the Gods smiled down upon them.
Of course, as we know, perfect things never remain quite so perfect...
For five-hundred years things had been going well. Then along came a terribly corrupt being, a human. As so often happens, this man wanted a certain woman, and for it he was willing to trade his soul. Unfortunately the demons that dealt these deals had long since been locked deep beneath the earth.
Men, driven by selfish greed, however rarely give up so easily. The man found the alchemist who had locked the demons away, and held threats to the man's family should he not release them, being quite taken with his own flesh and blood, the alchemist gave up the secret and fled the land.
The demons were set loose on the land again. Some walked as humans, and still do. Some took on their true forms and send even the bravest man away with tears in his eyes. Of course, the demons did not simply settle down peacefully, they killed thousands, taking a third of Alterna and building their own hell on earth.
Humans and elves were slaughtered as equals. It was a human however who had opened the gate. Why should the elves be punished for what they did? The empress herself had suffered the loss of her husband and only child. She screamed for bloody revenge against the humans and marked of third of the lands to her people.
The three sides are still weak, the demons have been locked away for years, the humans and elves just faced recent slaughter. Positions need to be reappointed, they need to gather their forces, but there will no doubt be war here, perhaps the last war the Gods will ever see.
