Before humanity had writing to record it, the Demon Lord Xalafoor walked the surface, feeding on the suffering of others, causing more when he didn't find enough, which was most of the time. Eventually a group formed to fight him off, containing a Warrior, a Hunter, a Priest, and a Shaman. Xalafoor had servants of his own, though, an Assassin, a Spy, a Dark Warlock. Though they fought valiantly against him, they could not defeat him. Contact with the Demon Lord's magic left a mark on the souls of these seven, however, and for the next thousand years they continued to return to the mortal world, reincarnating into new bodies and once again taking their old roles, or something close to it, always drawn to each other.
After a thousand years of this, however, he was defeated when his servants turned on him. With his death, the magic which drew the seven together was weakened, and he their legacy passed into obscurity.
Thousands of years later, after the invention of writing, metallurgy, farming, and many other things, the bond strengthened again. The Shaman, man gifted in reading the hearts and minds of others, soon found himself bumping into one of the others of the Seven. This triggered the past-life memory of the Demon Lord. He showed this memory with the other, and together they set out to gather the rest of the seven, as the resurgence of their bond can only mean one thing; Xalafoor is returning.
