STORY

In a simpler time, the citizens of Midgaard and the immortals of Valhalla

lived in peace under the benevolent rule of Bosco. A kind and fair leader,

he was beloved by all his subjects. During Bosco's reign he had 5 children,

each of them very different. First there was Taelisan, who was withdrawn,

hard, cold and calculating; next was Carnas, who lusted for total control of

everything; then there was Bhaal, an indivdualist who sought his own path;

next was Gabriel, who strove for goodness in all he did; the youngest was

Chain, who sought to level all hierarchy. As Bosco grew old and weak, his

children began to fight among themselves for the leadership of Terra. Not

content to just wreak the heavens their squabbles, the children began to

recruit mortals to back their claims.

Eventually, the golden doors of Valhalla were forced open and chaos spilled

across the region. Soon the streets of Midgaard were stained with blood.

Using the last of his strength, Bosco stripped his children of most of their

powers and banished them and their followers from Midgaard. Those faithful

mortals who had scorned the violence and refused to take sides mourned the

loss of Bosco. These steadfast souls called on immortals from another realm

to restore order to their land. Answering the call came Delstar, Maclav,

Daisy, and Gothic who pledged to uphold the ideals of Bosco and bring

redemption to Terra.

However, order was not easily restored and the first victim of the chaos was

the great immortal Gothic, who fell from the heavens and was lost to the

world. The next to be claimed was Taelisan, who found himself tottering on

the edge on insanity and surrounded by the memories of his dead father. He

passed down leadership of Pragmati and retreated from the cares of the land.

Then the garden of Eden was surrounded by darkness and overthrown by the

strength of a clan of Kindreds. Most recently, the clan of Eclipse fell by

the wayside because of weak leadership and a new clan by the name of Harpers

has arisen.

A new danger now threatens the shores of Terra. A continent named Dominia

has been rediscovered across the Dragon Sea. Not only do the inhabitants of

Dominia scorn the name of Bosco, but they also despise his most favored

race-- the dragon. They have recruited the remains of the Pragmati to live

on their land and repel any invaders.
