In the elven kingdom of Gaahalo, night patrols have tripled in the past century. The queen has decreed that the kingdom will not surrender or stop until the Blade is in her possession. "If none are left alive, so be it!" she ordered as the war was in its infancy.
Their opponents are formidable ones. They are quick, strike silently, and show no mercy. Nothing seems to stand in their way, and any attempts to negotiate have failed.
The elves have become desperate enough to call for aid from the humans, dwarves, and orcs.
They have recently become aware of the alliances that the enemy made: lycans (werewolves) and dragons. But for some odd reason, the dragons have not been unleashed upon them as they had feared.
But the queen will not tolerate any defeat. She will lead the creatures of the day to victory and bring a century of terror and war to an end even if it means her life must be taken.
They will not take her youngest daughter.
They are creatures of the night, and the enemies are creatures of the day.
They thirst, have the need to hunt.
But they have the upper hand; they have the forbidden magic and form. They are among the most powerful of their kind. The enemy knows nothing of their best capabilities. They stumble in the dark where their kin went through with ease.
They have the dragons at their beck and call. But they don't want to spoil the fun by letting the dragons kill everyone.
Their lord does not want everyone dead. He just wants what that foolish elven queen has. He does not want riches or the kingdom under his thumb.
They will take nothing less of victory. They will rule the night. They will fight the mortals for all eternity if necessary.
The vampires will prevail. All they have to do is fulfill the Prophecy and kill the sun.
The Prophecy dictates that a elven queen will have a daughter with the blood of a mighty dragon. And she would be able to command dragons and be a highly skilled mage. Her blood is so powerful that if she dies, a ritual can be completed to where she would become a dragon and whoever slayed her in her old body would have control over her for all eternity. However, she must be slain with the Blade of Shade (the current whereabouts of the sward are unknown). The only way to prevent the Prophecy from being fulfilled is to destroy the Blade.

Elves
They live in Gaahalo since being granted the land for aiding humans in the Dragon Wars almost twelve hundred years before the RP's events. They live to be five hundred years old and are skilled mages and archers. They prefer to live among nature and live inside of the gigantic Nyad trees. Some live on towns and villages near forests.
They are ruled by Queen Hadaio who is in her early 320s who wants to destroy the Blade of Shade and prevent the vampires from harming her youngest daughter.
Vampires
These immortal beings reside in the mountains on the northeastern border of Gaahalo. They make their home in a large castle that was abandoned by the dwarves centuries ago. The Hark Vampires are the most powerful of all vampires who have exclusive access to blood magic and the Night Stalker form that they automatically gain upon becoming a vampire (the Night Stalker form grants them flight, greater speed, and more powerful blood magic, with blood magic making this forbidden to mages and everyone else). Once someone becomes a vampire, they have little to no memory of their mortal life. They are led by Vladimir who intends to use the Prophecy to bring eternal night.
Lycans
The Lycans are a nomadic species of the lands and almost always come out at night unless they shape-shift to their human forms. They are large, muscular creatures that can tear a human to shreds in seconds with their long, sharp teeth and claws. They are usually solitary, but have made an exception when they pledged themselves to Vladimir.
Dragons
The most powerful of mortal beings. Their kingdom lies to the north of Gaahalo. They can shape-shift between the great scaly beasts that fly and breath fire and ice, and humanoid form that have have fin like ears and dark skin. They make their homes out of the cliffs and caverns. Their king is Sarthath, and although he wants to destroy the Blade as much as Queen Hadaio does, he has joined forces with Vladimir in hopes of taking the elven girl to safety. All he wants is his little girl to live.
Humans
Living in the kingdom of Dorrie, humans have had a peaceful alliance with the elves after centuries of enslaving them and treating them like second class citizens. They also have been terrorized by Lycans and vampires for as long as the kingdom existed. Their homes are the typical towns, cities, and villages. They are currently trying to find a new ruler as King Lionel is dying.
Dwarves
The dwarves have their underground kingdom of Kai-Pyro which is larger than Dorrie and Gaahalo combined. The dwarves are a mining, fighting, mead drinking, smithing folk who have proven themselves to be powerful allies. Their monarchy is led by Lord Fir and Lady Natalia. Even though the fate of the sun doesn't affect most of the dwarven population, they still want to do their best for their surface kin. And so they have allied themselves with the elves, humans, and orcs.
Orcs
Orcs are usually portrayed as barbaric and uncivilized. But most have proven to want a quiet life tending to their Clan or go adventuring. All the orcs live near the center of Gaahalo in one large village. A few have gone off to strike on their own, but for the most part orcs stick together. There is no specific Clan leader as they believe that everyone leads themselves and everyone takes care of each other.
