This story is sort of like a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) campaign. This may seem like an odd place to start things off, and in all honesty is would be on any other day, but as it turns out a stranger has come into Marhorn Glen, baring an odd artifact. Family, friends, and farms are most important to them. The people who live here could be rich if they wanted to, not as rich as those who call Crossroads home, but rich enough, but they don't really care about money. The people of this village spend most of their time growing crops and raising livestock, some of which they keep for themselves, but most of which is either sent down to Half Horn Plateau or through Giant's Pass and up to Crossroads. Our story begins in the small farming village of Marhorn Glen, a place populated mostly by humans, although a few members of other races have taken up residency here as well. For instance, no human is allowed in the Emerald Grove, and very few are allowed to see the interior of the Silver Peak range. The other races have mostly left the humans alone, thinking of them as nothing more than children really, letting them play so long as they don't go beyond the boundaries set by the other races. Under his leadership they have set up several forts in the Great Northern Plains and he has been looking to spread his empire to the Lesser Southern Plains, where there is already a decent human population. The current leader of the humans is a man named Traben Lighthawk, their king and the leader of their vast military force. They have established cities, and more importantly armies, all across the plains of Utareos. But they are numerous, which makes up for their natural weakness. In this world humans are relatively young, having only been around for about two thousand years, only about a tenth of the time that elves have walked the world. The elves tend to inhabit the forests, the dwarves have taken to the mountains, and all the many other races to come into existence have found a place as well.Īll except the humans. On the surface all the other races have found their place as well. The demons and other dark creatures have their freedom in the shadows of the Underdark, a series of caverns and tunnels and caves that run below the surface of Utareos where they can build their cities and basically do as they please. Thousands of years pass by and a kind of balance has been found. This world, made of both light and dark, meant to be a place of balance, has become a world of constant struggle. This displeased the evil god, and so he attacked Brigar, and just as the two gods clashed, so did their creations. The elves from the trees, the dwarves from the stone. And so he crafted the sun, and life began to grow upon Utareos, and other races began to emerge. But one day the god of light, Brigar, decided that the world was too dark, and that there should be more to it so that it would become balanced. There were no plants, no sunlight, only jagged stones and mountains, the only light coming from the infernal fires. It is said that this world was created by the evil god Utareos, for whom it was named after, to be a place of fire and darkness, home of all demon kind and the other various races that cling to the shadows.
