I will now post the story behind the rpg. It's a bit cliched, and the names are crap, but this will change. Any suggestions are welcome.
The Magickal War had surpassed 200 years in length. No living person still had recollections
about how it was before the war, only the stories passed on through the generations still told of
the prosperity and happiness that reigned many years ago.
The war had been provoked by a gathering of monsters and powerful dark wizards, calling
themselves the "Dark Alliance". They had attacked the lands of the Warlocks, who were thought to
be the single most powerful tribe on the planet. However, soon the power of the "Dark Alliance"
became apparent, as the Warlocks were annihilated. It was now clear that the "Dark Alliance"
would attempt to conquer the world, and, as it stood, there would be no-one able to stop them.
Leaders of the magickal and warrior tribes gathered for the first time in 1000 years and formed
an allegiance, the "Common Allegiance", to try and stop the approaching forces of the "Dark
Alliance". At first, the blend of mages and warriors seemed to walk over the enemies, as they had
never faced these two very difference races working together. However, soon, they had worked out
new tactics and the battle seemed to have evened out, with many casualties on both sides, and
both armies progressing only small distances before being driven back. This pattern repeated
itself over 200 years, both sides claiming small victories and failures. But now, the "Dark
Alliance" seemed to be gaining power, and they progressed further and further into the lands of
the "Common Alliance". The leaders of the "Common Alliance" were desparate, they decided to
enlist anyone with any kind of magic or warrior skills in a bid to fend of the "Dark Alliance".
Among those enlisted were Cain, a half-warlock with little magic skills and his warrior friend,
David. Their unit was called on to defend a bridge leading to their homeland, supported by just a
few elite wizards. A fierce battle erupted, which could be heard miles away. Kain and David
fought side-by-side, defending each other and bearly hanging on in the incoming onslaught.
However, the sheer number of the enemy was too much for them and more and more casualties
emerged, leaving only a few people in a desperate attempt to hold their, but to no avail. As the
remaining fighters retreated, the dark wizards grouped together and cast a powerful spell on the
retreating troops. All they saw was a bright flash, and everything went dark.
Cain woke up feeling battered and bruised. After a few minutes, when his head stopped spinning,
he surveyed the scene around him. Smoke was hanging over the former battlefield, but there was no
trace of the enemy troops. Corpses from both sides littered the countryside, horribly maimed,
some burning, but all with horrible expressions on their faces. Cain then recognised his friend
David on the ground, in a pool of blood. Cain was horrified, and slowly limped over to the body
and turned him over. David's eyes opened and after a few seconds a flash of recognition came into
his eyes. "C..Cain..."; David croaked. His eyes were glazed over and he looked like he would soon
lose consciousness. Cain tried to comfort David and told him he'd be alright. David weakly shook
his head and falteringly said "Avenge... Me..." before he convulged a few times and slipped off
into what seemed like a deep sleep. Cain felt his rage build, but then realised why he had been
on this mission: to save his homeland. Still enraged, Cain decided he must return to fight and
protect his homeland in honour of David. As he tried to get his bearings, he felt his kneed
buckle, and all went black...
Cain woke up in a soft bed, with only one goal before his eyes: to avenge his friend and
protect his homeland.
Here the adventure begins...
Whatever I did I didn't do it!
