Background
The king of Astal has been murdered by rebels against his tyranny, sparking a civil war in Vedrus. The government lead faction, the Ironbanes, is at war against the rebels/militia, the Goldenblades. As tensions rise, Vedrus is divided into North Vedrus and South Vedrus. North Vedrus is controlled by the Ironbanes and the South by the Goldenblades.
As time went on, the war grew more intense. This caused surrounding regions to take sides, eventually causing a bigger war. Soon, it was mandatory for young males to join the war at 16-18, starting training as a young boy around the age of 13. The war then grew massive, a total of 4 other regions joining. Making it hard for many to stay neutral. Mages who were once neutral began to join in and take sides. Deamon princes soon see the turmoil and tempt other races/creatures to join in the war. They cause rumors and discord to start up and control the minds of some leaders.Deamon princes taint good intentions of neutral parties creating further conflict. Players play as the avialable races with choice of jobs or occupations. Based on race starting area will vary and begining plots may vary.
