They called him: Deathsinger.

Our world, Ardonia, is a vast land, home to many diverse people, strange creatures, and dangerous monsters. Hidden among the shadows of dense forests... beneath the sands of treacherous deserts... and frozen within the ancient mountains of the north... are secrets and mysteries which have eluded our comprehension throughout the ages. Few of these mysteries, however, have attracted such fascination as the Ardoni species, for which the land shares its name.

The Ardoni possess the unique ability to wield great powers known as Songs. The strongest of these powers were referred to as Prime Songs, and were deemed too powerful for the Ardoni to wield freely. Thus, they were given to the masters of the four Ardoni clans as a sign of peace and unity.

Because of this, the clans were blinded to a great danger.

From within the fires of the Nether realm, an army set out to conquer the Overworld. They vanquished the kingdoms and people of Ardonia as they spread across the land.

But they were not to remain unchallenged

The Enderknights returned during these dark times, long having been guardians of the Overworld. The two opposing realms clashed with a fury of inconceivable power.

Yet the Nether had prepared well for this invasion- and even the legendary Enderknights could not stop them. With no other hope of victory, the kingdoms called upon the Ardoni to wield the Prime Songs.

One rose above the rest- persistent, cunning, and powerful. The champion had been found.

When presented with the Prime Songs however, he revealed himself as Ingressus− leader of the long-forgotten and dreaded Voltaris clan.

Outraged, the masters refused to give Ingressus the Supreme Songs... for it was due to their misuse of such power that they had been banished long ago.

That night, while the clans debated their next course of action, Ingressus set outalone to reclaim the Prime Songs. One by one he slayed the masters of the Kaltaris, Sendaris, and Mendoris clan. Through these dark deeds, he became known as the Deathsinger.

The fourth and final master, Aegus Nestoris, survived the massacre, thus protecting the last and most powerful Prime Song.

The Ardoni mourned the tragedy. They vowed to hunt down the Deathsinger and to prevent him from obtaining the final Prime Song.
