Chaos...

"Chaos, chaos was inevitable... Signs aligning themselves as an ill omen. Havoc is upon the lands and history will be written with the blood of the vanquished. As the stars withdrew and darkened the skies, evil lurked in the obscurity with his twisting and corrupting soul. The Gods themselves watched silently as the disciples prepared their minions for the task ahead.

Chaos had begun anew... Four realms would waged war, sealing the faith of their races and insuring the existence of their Gods: Bethrezen, prince of Hell, monarch of the Legions of the Damned, Wotan, guardian of the secret forge and god of the Mountain Clans, Mortis, creator of plague and pestilence, master of the Undead Hordes, the Highfather, god of Light, realm protector of the Empire.

Humans should not venture out in the dark ages to come, as many will die and blood will flow relentlessly upon the battlefields... for it is the victory in battle who writes history."

A Time of War...

The mighty Lords have foreseen a struggle for supremacy drawing near; their Disciples stand ready for a battle, a conflict that will undoubtedly embrace death, agony and fear. The pains and labors of every stroke of the sword, each blast if fiery magic, must endured beyond exhaustion. For once the clouds of destruction have cleared, lands will have been transformed, strength will be found in the coming of powerful new armies, hardened with experience and callous to the cheers of liberated citizens. Only true champions will stand against the storm of enemies before them, wielding the tomes and artifacts of their fallen ancestors, the Disciples must endure hardship, claiming victory for their leaders, lord of the realm.

"When the gods predicted the conflict for the control of your kingdom, you courageously prepared for war."

"When the gods predicted the battles for the supreme power, you fought for your ancestral god and protected your lands against the destroying threat from the invader."

"Only the true heroes survived. Only the true disciples, invested with the magic of their god and protected by their magical artifacts, could, after rough battles, claim the victory. The victory of their lord and kingdom, the victory of the Disciples of the Sacred Lands!"
