📖Lore

Long ago, before darkness crept upon the lands of Althea, there was a young and lonely man, a farmer who toiled tirelessly to keep his farm afloat after his father's death. His golden wheat was the envy of Calcia City, and people from far and wide would come to buy it. But one fateful spring night, the farmer began to hear voices calling out to him from the shadows. At first, he ignored them, but they persisted, night after night, getting louder and closer with each passing day. The incessant whispering drove him mad, and soon, he lost all focus and his crops began to wither and die. His once-great reputation fell into ruin, and he was left with no choice but to follow the voices that haunted him, to seek out their source.

Months went by as the farmer journeyed through treacherous terrain, until he finally stumbled upon a dark and foreboding cave. Despite his better judgement, he could not resist the pull of the voices and ventured inside. At the end of the cave, he was met with a chilling silence, but it was short-lived. A cold breeze blew down his neck, and a shadowy mist, tinged with a sinister sparkle, began to approach him from the depths of the cavern. Within the mist, he could make out a vaguely human shape, and he could hear screams echoing through the cavern.

Suddenly, the mist enveloped him, entering his body through his mouth and leaving him paralyzed and screaming in agony. His eyes glowed with an unearthly light, his hands sparked with dark energy, and his feet burned with an infernal flame. In an instant, his heart stopped, and he collapsed to the ground.

When he awoke, he found himself naked outside the cave, the rain pouring down upon him and thunder rumbling in the distance. But it was not the farmer who had awoken, for something evil had taken hold of his body and soul.

Today, the lands of Althea are plagued by pollution, theft, murder, and monsters, all wrought by the hand of the evil mage and his servants. The King of Keltan controls the north, while the King of Calcia reigns over the south. But their power is tenuous, for the dark forces that the evil mage unleashed upon the world grow stronger with each passing day, threatening to consume all that remains of Althea.
