"And so it was that the Lord of Death should perish in the Eternal War. Almearia had prevailed against it's terrible foe. Yet no songs were sung, nor feasts held. For his doom would breed a host of mortal progeny. Through whom his work would continue."
-Exert: Zebbarra's Chronicle of the Eternal War
Before time became time and living things breathed first breath, there was war. Two immortal realms conjoined in their voracious struggle for supremacy. Almearia, the White Citadel, it's knights valiant and pure. The Nether Realm Raskar, with legions of unearthly horrors under it's domain. Through the void and across strange eons their contest would wage unabated. Yet amidst the destruction there wrought, new foundation was lain. Another plane would come to be.
The Mortal Realm drew wary eye from it's older kin. For millennia they observed from afar the queer machinations of these Humans and their fleeting existence. While the Eternal War tore across the cosmos a new battlefield was found in the lives of mortals. Agents of the militant realms descended, weaving intricate plots to influence the unsuspecting. Through this strength was gained. The Human soul revealing itself to be a potent elixir.
It was Almearia that first harnessed the soul's power. It was discovered that prayer shed excess energy akin to a soul. In the White Citadel this energy was gathered and bestowed upon Almearia's people. Agents withing the Mortal Realm would thus create miracles to incite further prayer. With this method Almearia had and advantage, and pushed Raskar into the depths of the Nether Realm.
Weakened, Raskar new it's salvation lay in the power of souls as well. Yet that was not so easy a road to travel. Almearia already gathered the prayers of Humans. Taking that from them would be a battle destined for defeat. So it was that Raskar devised it's own way to gather souls. It would not take prayers, no. Raskar's agents would offer mortals whatever their heart desired, in exchange for the entirety of their soul.
Thus the war began anew. In this era an Overlord would appear from Raskar to take the reigns of leadership. Known simply as the Lord of Death, this figure laid waste to Almearia at every turn. His ability was unlike any seen in the Nether Realm before, and his loyalists followed him zealously. For centuries he cut a swath of blood through Almearian ranks. So much so that many now foresaw an end to the Eternal War. However, this was not to be.
In the end it was not grand battle or fierce duel that ended the Lord of Death, but betrayal. The other Overlords of the Nether Realm, fearing what would become of them after the war's end, joined together with Almearia. Slaughtering all those that followed the Lord of Death before coming for him. Outmatched he did not resist their attacks. Hot flashes of steel and magic bore through him as his assassins completed their task. Yet no woe marked his face, nor tears his eyes. Only a crooked grin curled across his lips as his fading voice wove a curse. His death would bring final ruin to Almearia and Raskar both, and all whom stood against him.

The Red Moon
The arrival of the Red Moon came as a shock to astrologists the world over. A consensus was drawn that an unexpected result of Earth's orbit cast red hue over it's moon. Many thought it would disappear within the first day or so, yet it did not. Night after night an eerie red glow falls over the land. Heralding it's first appearance strange happenings began to plague Yoshaka. Sightings of creatures unrecognizable to man, people missing from their home, even deaths came in the moon's wake. Is the Red Moon causing these atrocities to come to pass, or is it simply another side-effect of a far more sinister power?
Psychic Awakening
Some people claim that since the Red Moon appeared they had become something more. That somehow the red light cast down on them had unlocked some hidden potential laid dormant within the confides of the Human soul. Though as of yet these rumors are widely dismissed as another internet conspiracy theory, there are some that believe it to be true.
