Many centuries ago, there was something called peace but in the story's present time, it has almost been forgotten. Everyday millions of innocents die and everyday the power thirsty corporals, sadistic kings enjoy victory over lands which has no life and is batehd in blood
After this gruesome description of the present, let me tell the main guys pulling the strings of this huge devastating war.
The kingdom of KingsElton was formed quite recently built on alliances forged literally by blood. All the creatures resembling your nightmares plus the sorcerers, witches, and satanic supporters are in this side. The other side also known as Xanthia is a place where elves, humans, good wizards( not good just they do not use black magic) and the other so called 'clean' people live here.
In light of this war also called the Blood Bath of The 100 years or The War simply brought out bad side in all people and the good people in both sides are now almost perished.
