In an era long since passed, the there were many more gods. The gods had grown tired and bored of only their own company and decided that, as such, they would create a world and populate it with all manner of creatures to watch as entertainment. After the world was solidified, each god was granted a portion of the world in accordance to their contributions to shape as they saw fit. For many millenia, the creatures of the world lived in their areas under the watchful eyes of their patrons. But, as before, many of the gods began to grow bored yet again. Some sought to relinquish their control; others sought to claim a larger stake in the world. These mergers and acquisitions started out between mutual parties and eventually grew into warfare. The wars raged and ravaged the lands until the eldest of the gods stepped in to act as Parent Patrons by bringnig many of the smaller territories under their protection in the guise of alliances. Now, nearly 500 years after the world found some minor peace, war and death are on the horizon again as Waltenburg begins a campaign to claim the rest of the world. Their first target was the Vulpine Alliances where they found something ancient...and evil.
